Thread: Gary Lineker

  1. #1

    Gary Lineker

    Apparently Gary Lineker will stop presenting MOTD at the end of this season and leave the BBC at the end of the 2026 season. I wonder if Alex Scott will replace him, especially as Jermaine Jenas, who was favourite to replace him, is out of the picture.

    If it’s her, I’ll fast forward the fast forward

    Odds-on it will be a woman, probably AS.

    Gabby Logan tipped and Laura Woods.

    I bet Jermaine Jenas is feeling a bit more gutted this morning.

    I hope Mark Chapman moves from motd2 to the Saturday night programme. I guess it's got to fit in with everything else he does though.

    Re: Gary Lineker

    I don’t watch it now. But if Laura woods gets it I’ll definitely never watch it again. Jimmy hill for me……

    Not for me. Annoying voice.

    Hope Mark Chapman gets it. Good broadcaster. Not a sensationalist prick like the large majority working in football and sports media these days.

    Meh. If it’s going to be a female I’d rather it was a broadcaster that’s earned her stripes like Yorath, Dalglishes daughter or Natalie Sawyer and not some fast tracked ex female footballer.

    Laura Woods is a good call if they are looking for a revamp. Would be pleased if Jason Mohammed did. Gabby is an excellent presenter, not sure she has the “banter” they maybe looking for,

    Never been a huge fan of Chappers for some reason.

    Nor me. Never been able to put my finger on why exactly, and I don’t dislike him as such, but I’m not a fan.

    Exactly the same, nothing against him either.

    I'd like to know how he got the job in the first place.

    He was doing the Sat lunchtime preview prog when the main Grandstand prog was being broadcast from Aintree for the Grand National. There was a bomb scare at Aintree, he had to do the whole afternoon prog "off the cuff", didn't foul it up, so got fast-tracked to bigger things.

    I look forward to the day when the main presenter is female with a full female panel.
    The main commentator at the game and her co commentator also female .
    Obviously a racially balanced team.

    Laura Woods brings to football the same magic that Nigella Lawson brings to cooking.

    I think I can answer that one. He was a really famous and popular footballer who quickly proved to be really good at presenting TV programmes.

    Re: Gary Lineker

    Remember when Jeff Stelling quit Soccer Saturday in 2023? All the talk then was about how Sky were going ‘woke’, Stelling was going to be replaced by a woman and the panel would be full of women, etc.

    Never happened. His replacement was a bloke who’s absolutely ****ing useless, while the panel is as male-dominated as it was when he left.
