It almost seems in a desperate way to try to connect with football fans the BBC have told him to try and get involved in the 'banter' culture by having him act like a massive cunt hole on Twitter. It comes across as uncle knobhead humour.
Hes taken it far further in that he has to have an opinion on fucking everything. Except this, funnily enough.
Hope he chokes on those fucking crisps.

No Hooch, it was Trev. Keown's another on the cuntlist though. I've not heard him pronounce a player's name correctly yet. Fucker can barely speak English and they let him loose on the telly. Fucking disgrace. We had Maurice Kean today. I don't think you've got that quite right, Martin.

Personally I couldn't care less what he talks about. But if there's something in his work contract about it, however it's worded, then I'm not surprised if it's on that basis. When I worked in a government office I wasn't allowed to put political comments on social media. Yeah, I'm not a multi millionaire ex footballer but another example of free speech doesn't mean freedom of consequence.
Thing is, why weren't any of these people so militant during the last WC?

Not sure why highlight shows need pundits at all. Live games need to fill the halftime slot and do a bit of build up but for a format like Match of the Day they’re surplus to requirements.
Add in the fact that Wright aside they’re dull bastards who you wouldn’t want to get stuck in a lift with and it’s shocking value for money.

Social media is a strange place. A few days ago the loudest voices were calling for Linekar's head. He gets suspended and now even louder voices are critical.

Karma really. The BBC is eating itself with this woke shite and that's the only way common sense will prevail.
Lineker is a cunt. So fuck him, but I don't want to see people losing their jobs for the personal, social or political opinions. It's the road to death, literally. Plenty of examples littered through history.

Some fans are wanting a BBC Sport wide walkout for this afternoon's football coverage.
Lolololol don't turn this into George Bush's 'if you're not with us you're with the terrorists' mantra.

Match of the Day is spoiled by the cunts presenting so hopefully this is an opportunity to just show us the highlights and fuck off the boring cunts who spend most of the show explaining to us what we've just watched.

Yet Karren Brady is a BBC freelancer on exactly the same type of contract as Lineker and can say whatever the fuck she wants, as she’s a Tory politician. I’m enjoying the absolute car crash at the BBC. Serves them right for sucking up to the set of cunts in charge of the UK. They’re like the fat kid at school trying to suck up to the playground bully. Nobody at the BBC or in the Tory party gave a shit when he was criticising the Qatari government.

Leftists think the BBC is right wing and right wingers think it’s leftist. A lot of people like to cite this as evidence that the BBC is impartial.
To me the pattern looks a bit more sinister than that. They seem to support a sitting government in the early days then slowly turn against them as their term evolves. They then become more partisan in their support of the opposition until they achieve power and then the cycle starts again.
It’s almost like they’re on board with the old giving-the-proles-the-illusion-of-choice grift.

I must have missed the bit where he boycotted the World Cup and forfeited his fat salary as a mark of solidarity. Or was he just 'raising awareness' al la Gary Neville?

Given he's such a marmite figure, it seems to have got both factions frothing at the mouth. He's either a Martyr or a twat who's finally got his dues. Who's betting the BBC will back down under 'public pressure' then spin it as a victory for the people against the evil Nazi Tories?

Nobody at the BBC or in the Tory party gave a shit when he was criticising the Qatari government. You must be kidding. The BBC are one of the most leftist media outlets going. So people keep saying. The Director General is a former Tory politician. The Chairman donated half a million quid to the Tories. The CEO of BBC News is married to the Tories’ Director of Communications for Security. If it’s a den of Communism with those people in charge, the bosses are even stupider than I thought. Leftists think the BBC is right wing and right wingers think it’s leftist.

They’ll suck up to whoever is in charge.

There specifically isn’t that in his contract, cos he’s a sports presenter. He’s been suspended cos he disagrees with the conservatives. This is about the government trying to control the state broadcaster, why do you think we end up with news presenters that can’t call Boris Johnson a liar, or someone who donated £400000 to the conservatives is later made chairman. And for a leftist organisation, they sure are run by a lot of tories.

The day before a general election, but doesn’t breach impartiality rules? People play the ‘all as bad as each other card’ too much.
