What id give for Rovers to be part of a rubbish 20 min highlight reel on MOTD I thought it was brilliant. I don’t watch MOTD normally but watched last night and bar the missing commentary and theme music I’d much prefer a show like that. I think the L1 and L2 parts of the football league coverage always strike a good balance. Do we really need to watch players move in slow motion and have has beens draw circles around players and criticise them for standing half a yard out of position? Take out the rubbish chat and you could have a single show for all the leagues.

Not sure I agree Les surely censorship is that whatever you want to do by whatever media is stopped,ala Russia . No one is stopping GL he still has access to all social media etc as far as I am aware. At the cost of his career at the BBC. Many ways to put down freedom of expression I thought he'd already been offered a substantial pay rise to join BT Sport, so it's hardly career threatening.

I would miss match of the day, don't watch much premiers league football but don't mind the highlights. I think Lineker is very naive person he seems to have forgotten that the boats that these boat people come over on are run by criminal drug gangs. A third of the so called refugees come from Albania, a free European country that is not at war. The cocaine business in this country is worth 5 billion a year, Albanion's are the biggest dealers in this drug, they come across in the boats mixed in with nationals from other countries and then escape into the country and repay their gang owners by dealing with drugs. I help out homeless people and see what drugs do , they ruin peoples lives, their families lives,leading to users becoming homeless, some die.These boats must me stopped and goverment have to take measures to stop them, this cannot go on. Whether that's true or not, whether you believe that or not, isn't what this is about. It's about the language used by people who should know better when promoting a controversial piece of legislation and whether someone tweeting in a private capacity can criticise the government. It's also legislation that criminalise the victims. It does nothing to prosecute the traffickers. Good luck trying to prosecute Albania etc based traffickers!

Do we let them carry on and punish others instead? Of course not. What should happen is to cut off at source by making legal routes which can be properly assessed and also for the government to cooperate with other governments and not try and bring confrontation for idealistic reasons.

Surely there's already legal routes? I can't see a party proposing more legal routes/increased numbers will win an election.

He is one of a long list of champagne socialists none of the issues of open border immigration effects them. School places - private school. Health care private policy. Community - living in exlusive neighbourhood. NO Linekar is a p***k It is possible for some people to have empathy for people without their situation actually effecting them you know 🤣🤣

Few dinosaurs on here at the moment 🥱 😂 I’m female, guess in this pc world I should be defending woman’s game - but I don’t ! If that makes me a dinosaur - so be it ! I think women commentating on men’s football is awful but it works when commentating on women’s football. Men should do the men’s and women should do the women’s. I’ve often wondered if that’s sexist or just my preference. Some women would probably find it sexist but I don’t really care.

She's clearly can't use Google then: "The UK currently operates several safe and legal immigration routes: The UK Resettlement Scheme, Community Sponsorship, and the Mandate Scheme are refugee resettlement programmes. Refugee family reunion visas are available to people who were immediate relatives of people granted refuge in the UK, before they left their country of origin (known as pre-flight relatives). Nationality-specific bespoke immigration routes are available to some Afghans, Ukrainians, and people from Hong Kong." Around 100K immigrants were apparently successful last year.

Hi Socrates, to put it in a nutshell, Linekar imo is a hypocrite which isint unusual in people with ‘power’ 🤔 He didn’t put his money where is mouth was over the Qatar WC- why not pull out of it altogether if he felt so strongly ! 💰 💰💰

The only time BBC has shown any interest in 3rd and 4th tier football clubs is when there's a chance of us being humiliated by a non league one in the Cup.
It's fun to see them suffer in my opinion.
