Bye. Shut the door on the way out please

Excellent!!

They seem hellbent on losing their jobs.. refusing to work, having a tantrum over something that's not their issue. Sure they could be replaced by an artificial voice to do intros etc

That's the best news football fans have had all year. She is a terrible pundit, absolutely awful

They all took there money

Sack the lot of them

Dump the lot....Good excuse for fresh blood & formats. BBCSport

IStandWithLineker

Who?

Hey SkyNews, I know a great tv host and commentor for football. It would be great if you'd let GaryLineker do what he we all know he can do well.

How much will I save on my licence fee now they don't have to pay this lot .

They'll put eastenders on all day at this rate

They all suffer from wokery

Good get rid of them all

All over paid 😂😂 cheerio

Who the hell is Jason mohammed

Quite a few seem to have resigned..... There will be a BBC bean counter somewhere thinking their Christmas has come early.

At last some good news.

🍿

Still amused by the fact that it's the BBC that have scored the biggest own goal in football history. Anyone know if there is a petition going?

AlexScott was more than happy to take Qatari blood money though. No use taking the moral high ground now lady.

Is anyone even gonna notice… could get rid of the whole sodding BBC woke staff while they’re at it!!

No worries, when their bank balance starts to shrink they will be knocking on the door !!!

One for all, and all for one! They're defending the final line between censorship and freedom of speech!

Plenty of pundits out there!

Very good now for impartiality bbc must bin Alan Sugar and all the other pro Tory presenters who have tweeted polictical views on social media. Will they......... Nah 🙄

Good!

She still went to Qatar hypocrisy at it’s finest

Are they under contract ? Is this not dismissal .. who would miss them .. plenty of people could be a pundit

Football pundits add no value whatsoever. State the obvious and complain about VAR. That’s the sum total of their contributions!

Can she just change jobs? Awful presenter.

Well done to you both👏

Bonus! Does anyone watch MOTD to see Lineker? I doubt it. But k and many others don’t watch it, because of him!! Win win this! Get rid of these pathetic fools!!!

The Licence fee does bugger all for the football fan.

'Well that was Mrs Browns Boys, up next .... Mrs Browns Boys.' The BBC if this carries on 😂

It's comical this freedom of speech. Lineker rants it's ok, but then Jeremy Clarkson or Gina Carano rant and they get sacked for their comments. Freedom of speech is fine depending on where you sit on the liberal scale.

Gary Lineker 'won't face disciplinary action from BBC' over Nazi Germany commentGary Lineker will reportedly not be facing any disciplinary action from the BBC over his criticism of the Government’s small boats policy. The Match of The Day presenter said earlier today he 'stands by' his comments. The BBC will not show Gary Lineker a 'yellow card' as at the time of the 'offence' he was not on the pitch but up in the stands? Just keep squeezing the unopened packets of crisps👍🤣 So he shouldn't

Gary Lineker does not fear BBC suspension as he stands by government criticismThe comments made by the presenter have been branded as 'disappointing and inappropriate' He doesn’t fear it only because he knows it won’t happen Odious little toad. As yet the relevant laws are 1. Articles 1 and 2 of the United Nations Human Rights Act. 2. European 4 'Freedom Laws' 3. UK 1832 Act abolishing transporting Humans. (slave act) So unless Braverman can get a post Brexit Law passed soon to supercede them then Liniker is correct
