I wonder how many ppl they contacted to be replacement hosts before they realised they may as well give up?

Match of the Day to air without presenters or pundits as Gary Lineker told to step backQuote:
Match of the Day will air later without a studio presenter, pundits, or its regular commentators, after the BBC told Gary Lineker to step back in a row over impartiality.

Pundits Ian Wright, Alan Shearer, Micah Richards and Jermaine Jenas have all said they will not appear on the show.

Alex Scott hinted the same while six members of the MOTD commentating team said they would also not take part.I guess some of them didn't want to appear as "scabs" .

nice the players asking permission to avoid fines:
Quote:
BBC Sport understands a number of players from various clubs contacted the Professional Footballers Association (PFA) to say they may want to show solidarity with Lineker and the MOTD pundits by boycotting the post-match interviews on the show.

The PFA - which has been in talks with players and clubs on the matter - are believed to be supportive of any players who choose to do so.


it's wierd like the Joe Lycett David Beckham World Cup thing, how one tweet becomes such a massive news story, and just like that, the post is more news than the subject.

(I'm aware of the irony in us adding fuel to the fire :) )

he's great on the Olympics, football though, hmmn, maybe with John McEnroe could make the dullest matches interesting?

Is there an equivalent show to MOTD on another channel?
I've never even bothered looking.

I guess on Sky Sports? My dad doesn't have Sky Sports, but puts on one of the news channels to see the goals at 17:00, might be sky news, not sure. there's a high lights football net site which i go to at 17:00 see highlights, that have magiced themselves there from ppl recording them and making their own highlights :) usually there withing 30mins of final whistle, and usually from another English speaking feed

That is gold. I'm in a FB discussion for a local news outlet and those against Gary are losing hard. Even more now.
