Gary Lineker tweet

Post by huw.Y.WattfromWare » Wed May 27, 2020 8:51 pm

“ Interesting that stats are showing that there’s quite considerably more playing time in behind closed doors football. Shows how much players behaviour is influenced by the crowd.”

Watching second match of the evening and it is clear that players are getting up and getting on with it, much as they do Mon-Fri. This attitude can stay in the game for me.

I think it's quite an interesting and welcome development. I think it's a fair observation to make whatever he earns.

In what way is he parsimonious?

I like him. He’s intelligent and appears to wind up the right people.

Spot on.
PATRONISING: treat in a way that is apparently kind or helpful but that betrays a feeling of superiority

It's an interesting observation. Shame we're all discussing the 'name' in the title rather than a curious example of social behaviour but that's the internet.

Let’s be fair, he is superior to most of us when it comes to football (which is what he was tweeting about). How many golden boots have you won?

We all know players dive to con the officials and it probably isn't far off the mark to suggest players may dive more at home games because the crowd would be shouting in their favour.

We should be able to see if there is a noticable difference when the PL restarts.

Question many might ask is why does he feel he has in what has become the BBC way preach ro us or whoever might listen to this dullard about politics?
Hes a very well paid sports presenter and should stick ro that. If he wants to preach politics he should get on the hustings. Personally I dont like him very much.

It’s his personal Twitter account, he can talk about what he likes. Much like, say, Tony Bellew does. Should he stick to boxing talk? You don’t have to follow these people.

It’s a good job you’ve never posted about your political views on here, because that would make you a massive hypocrite.

I think he's more promiscuous than parsimonious or patronising. Ask his kids and ex wife.

Mind you it's unusual for someone so rich not to be.

Hey could be worse, he could be Adrian Chiles. Never forget him calling us a small club not deserving of being in the league. Look at us in recent years compared to your beloved baggies Adrian... And wipe that smarmy look of your face.

I dont suppose stayingup gets paid millions of pounds of tax payers money per year, by a corporation that stipulates its front line employees remain politically impartial (I dont know this for certain. I know how you like my posts to be 100% factual)
It's kind of like you stating, anyone who has made an unnecessary journey in the past 3 months should be sacked or forced to resign following your outrage on the DC thread.
Hopefully you can clear up what your actual stance is on this if you are going to imply other posters are massive hypocrites.

Incidentally, before the usual suspects jump to the millionaire, ex footballers defence. I have no problem with Lineker being paid millions of pounds of tax payers money. Nor do I care if he takes a side in political debate of any kind.
I just dont think he should be doing both

My stance (and I think the BBC’s, too, but like you I’m not certain) is that Lineker, or anyone else, can hold and express whatever views they like in their own time, but generally shouldn’t do so on the platform provided by their employers.

If he were to open MOTD with a monologue about the Tories, I’d be criticising him along with you - not for the message itself but for the forum in which he chose to express it.

It’s not the diving. It’s them getting up and getting on with it. The trainers are rarely on the pitch, which is good news. Re-starts are much quicker also throw-ins, corners, goal kicks and free kicks.

Be a funny day when his skeletons come out the closet.

Imagine your brother being Wayne Lineker and you are still the biggest wrong un in your family.
