Well done Gary Lineker and his colleagues for demonstrating the power of collective industrial action.

I think he’s handled it brilliantly and exposed an enormous amount of hypocrisy along the way 👏 https://t.co/4zo8S7d26H

One of the best things about the end of the Match of the Day saga, is that we don't have to listen to various Tory MP's talk about football. It's been like listening to a dog describe chess.

Trying to guess Gary Lineker's opening line on MOTD this weekend. After Jonathan Ross got suspended, he went with "where were we..?" I reckon he'll go with "fuck each and every one of you, because I'm back, bitches", although I concede this is pure speculation on my part.

It's not just the BBC's social media guidelines that need reviewing. It's the corporation's entire relationship with political, corporate and economic power.

A dark day for fans of MOTD showing every goal and going to the pub once it is finished

Gary Lineker stood up for fundamental decency and empathy. The huge majority supported him. Now the circus is ended let’s call time on the STOP THE BOATS dehumanising rhetoric & demand government deal with this crisis by opening safe and legal routes of which their are none.

To conclude …
This has been an utter, abject failure from BBC upper management. Every presenter, pundit and commentator who pulled out of working this weekend should take pride in their part in it. Davie et al just did not see this coming.

But if you want the especially edited highlights, basically this.
Apology 😂😂

Oh go on then, one more.
Now I'm allowed to tweet anything without being fired, I can finally say it. Pickled Onion is not the best Monster Munch flavour. Roast Beef is.
