Warnock gets his knuckles rapped.

[The Lone Gunman]

Nothing wrong them, or him expressing them, but then surely Warnock should be given the same privilege?

Unless that is you believe Warnocks comments are inappropriate or unprofessional (which I do, leave politics out of football imo) then Lineker should be held to the same standard, but instead is given a free pass to spout his strong believes? The only difference to me seems that Lineker is given a 'free pass' because his views are on the right side of the fence.

Perhaps another difference is that Lineker doesn't work for a football club owned and controlled by Malaysians and Cypriots and he doesn't manage a team full of foreign players.....

And Linekar works for and is paid by the BBC, a supposedly unbiased public service broadcaster?

OK, explain how Andrew Neil gets away with it?

It's pretty simple - Lineker is a sports broadcaster not a news and current affairs broadcaster so he can tweet what he wants from his personal account. All here

What a fuss about nothing. More important things going than what Warnock has said

Well you both seem to be coming form the same side but have contradicted each over

Neil is a news and current affairs broadcaster, so we haven't.

Neil is a news and current affairs broadcaster, so we haven't.

My point of the contradiction, is that it was said by delmbox Lineker is not a political or current affairs broadcaster and therefore can say his personal views even tho he is paid by the BBC, I also believe, that Warnock is not a political or current affairs broadcaster, so can also say his brexit views, even tho he is employed by a Malaysian.

Absolutely he can, I just wish he hadn't because I think it makes him look small minded and ignorant, and he represents us in a lot of people's eyes,
