That's no way to talk about the trolls on here. Trolls have feelings as well you know.

Indeed. It looks like Gary has got it all sewn up. He must get right up some people's noses. (y)

I see where you've gone awry. For 'big global stories', you're not looking in the right place. You will find global news under the 'world' tab: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world The article you've referenced is under the 'uk-england-cornwall' tab...

It's a good job Gary has not committed any then.

It wasn't like that when I was a junior. Back in those dark days, it was the norm to trudge home in silence after a home tie. I'm just glad we beat them. Never mind your 5 nils. Youngsters today don't know they're born.

Yes, thanks. Please see previous posts.

Absolutely ! Once you had alerted me to my cock-up, I moved the fastest I've moved this century!

Whoops. My mistake. Gullis it was. I thought Sunak had quoted him, but that wasn't reported. Apologies.

After the good work that Tim Davie did to calm the waters and reduce the temperature, now this happens. Here is what Sunak said: 'Let’s be clear, when I talk about upsetting people I’m talking about the Twitterati, the Wokerati of north Islington, those champagne socialists who pontificate...

If anyone thinks this whole episode is going to go away, I think maybe they should have a re-think.

I don't know. Perhaps his excitement of the WC transcended his concerns over human rights. Or perhaps he thought it better to be there and witness the human rights issues and sportswashing. But rather than try to catch him out for what he decides not to do, why not support him in what he does do?

'The virtue signalling moron'? The author of that phrase misses the point. Gary Lineker walks the walk. He takes refugees into his own home. He has the funds and room to do it, so he does it. He doesn't do it for medals. He does it because he believes it is the right thing to do. Providing for...

Right everyone - he's given us the green light. He's ok with no mental health issues. Let's pump this mother****** for all it's worth. We'll get it up to 3000 comments in no time! (y)

This must be a record. You try to quote Lineker's tweet, and then ignore your own misquoted quote, and claim something completely different, about a country to which Lineker wasn't even referring anyway. I'm done. I'm going out for the day.

That's the spirit ! What this forum needs is another bod misinterpreting Lineker's tweet, and going off on some brand new irrelevant tangent. This time it's about US Democrat presidents resembling nazis, all the while not giving a mention of Trump's wall or his insurrection on the White House...

I'm drawn to Fabridecanted. I'll see if I can come up with any contenders. But I'm still trying to figure out at what income level the empathy kicks in at. In gammonworld, it obviously doesn't kick in at the modest wage he is taking home, but then, he thinks a high income would lead to a low...

For me, the best one was 'If I were on the level of payment which he pockets I think I'd be keeping a lower profile.' It's all going on there. Jealousy, inadequacy, an inability to comprehend why anybody would show empathy for refugees when enjoying a high income etc. Classic. Is there a...

Well you actually. By denying the content of very recent posts, you appear to be inadvertently claiming ownership of those vacuous arguments. At least make some semblance of an argument, rather than all your ad hominem stuff.

This is brilliant. Reasons not to support Lineker. 1. He earns too much, the lucky bastard. 2. Being on MOTD, gives him undeserved authority. 3. He wants to enter politics (?), so we shouldn't trust him. 4. He's not in politics, so don't pay attention to what he says. Talk about shoot...

A very good question. Are you wondering if their MO is not about MOTD at all, but is actually about Lineker? Are they trying, subconsciously or otherwise, to argue that MOTD is as good without Lineker et al, so they want to prove to us that he and his pundits are superfluous and not worth...
