I’ve seen it variously reported. Some articles portrayed it worse than others.

I agree it’s something which, in general terms, men and their partners need to be very aware of when recovering from surgery or radiotherapy. But I really was appalled to see even a hint that Gabby Logan was anything other than fully supportive and considerate in her response to her husband’s situation. She may have felt impatient - to admit it to him, and to confirm it to the whole world, is breathtakingly insensitive, however she seeks to justify it.

Anyway. Back to football…….

I actually like Lineker on MotD, I think he does a good job.

Mark Chapman would be okay, as long as pundits stop calling him Chappers. No man of that age should be known by a nickname.

I'm also in the camp relieved that Jenas blotted his record, he was so bland 😴

Really like lineker, he's a national treasure imo

I hope they just get someone in cheap so we don't get this yearly debate into wages at the BBC

The irony of this annual grumpfest is that Lineker will be nowhere near the top of the real list, if payment through production companies etc was also released. They simply are not published.

The BBC also pay significantly less than the other broadcasters but because they don't release their numbers no one has other figures to compare against.

But we don't pay for those other broadcasters

It appears that it was Robertson arguing with the ref after the game not Klopp

Can’t share the video as Robbo says the f word once

I’ll take your word for it as I haven’t seen the video before and Google hasn’t been my friend.

How many games was Andrew Robertson banned for, following the incident?

Which one ?
The one where I agreed with what you posted.?

You could start an argument in an empty paper bag.
That there shouldn’t be a witch hunt on every game Coote’s been involved in.

Try quoting a full reply rather than just one bit, it leads to less confusion, or better still, put me on ignore and don’t reply to me.🙄

We largely do in a roundabout way. If you don't subscribe to Sky, TNT or Amazon then clearly their payments are irrelevant, but you pay for ITV, CH4 via advertising (although you could argue that for the others as well). Anyway, the point there is that broadcasters have to pay a market rate to get decent people. BBC generally pay quite a bit less than market rate so whilst you may not like the sums involved, they are what it takes to get competent people.
