Looks like the #GaryLineker #MOTD saga is going to end with abject humiliation for the #BBC. Hard to see how #TimeDavie’s position can be seen as anything other than untenable after this fiasco #BBCMOTD #BBCBias #BBCSport #WildcatStrike #UKPolitics #UKracism #ToriesOut #BBCNews

I feel like the #BBC should be thanking their lucky stars #GaryLineker, #AlanShearer and #IanWright didn’t drop a #Football #Podcast episode last night #BBCSport #MOTD #BBCMOTD #WildcatStrike #BBCBias #UKPolitics #UKRacism #ToriesOut #BBCNews

So where are we this morning? The #BBCSport #WildcatStrike continues unabated. The #BBC has had to announce that #MOTD2 and their live #WSL coverage will be “much reduced” today - MOTD2 presumably much like #MOTD last night and the WSL match sans presentation. #TimDavie looking very exposed as the one solely responsible for blowing this up into one of the biggest fiascos the BBC has ever endured #BBCMOTD #GaryLineker #BBCBias #UKPolitics #UKRacism #ToriesOut #BBCNews

Yeah, #TimDavie is finished. This Times piece about the saga makes for brutal reading and he comes across as a complete tit in it #GaryLineker #BBCBias #BBC #UKPolitics #MOTD #BBCMOTD #BBCSport #WildcatStrike #UKRacism #BBCNews #ToriesOut https://apple.news/AHVGiR4JtTuaWnKBZmVuSng

Alright, somebody find a lettuce, because #TimDavie has officially started the countdown on his inevitable resignation by insisting he won’t do so #GaryLineker #BBC #BBCBias #UKPolitics #MOTD #BBCMOTD #BBCSport #WildcatStrike #UKRacism #BBCNews #ToriesOut

Meanwhile, it seems that rumours have started to circulate that the #BBCSport #WildcatStrike may spread to wider #BBC Operations... #GaryLineker #MOTD #BBCMOTD #UKPolitics #UKRacism #BBCBias #ToriesOut #BBCNews

Snivelling coward #RishiSunak has weighed in and would very much appreciate it if you not ask him and his wretched government about this preposterous situation their dreadful policy has created #GaryLineker #UKPolitics #MOTD #BBCMOTD #ToriesOut #BBCBias #BBC #BBCNews #UKRacism https://news.sky.com/story/gary-lineker-bbc-row-pm-hopes-dispute-can-be-resolved-as-he-reiterates-governments-stance-on-stopping-the-boats-12831410

#FinalScore presenter #JasonMohammad has pulled out of that show now too. A wildcat strike is now effectively gutting all of the #BBC’s football coverage. They could not possibly have screwed this up worse #MOTD #BBCMOTD #BBCBias #UKPolitics #UKRacism #ToriesOut #GaryLineker

I’m not really sure why the #BBC thought this would work TBH. Obviously they thought they could just pressure #GaryLineker into cowing to the Tories by keeping him off the air, but even without this fallout he’s a huge star who could simply go elsewhere for more money, it was a dreadful plan.

And now Sky News reporting #FootballFocus won’t air today as the boycott spreads beyond #MOTD.

At risk of a trite football analogy...Own goal, BBC

So, this definitely did not go the way the #BBC expected.

In the end, basically all (or as close as makes no odds) their presenters & pundits declined to participate, the commentators too (forcing them to use the world feed comms) and also the players refused to do #MOTD Interviews.

Instead of sweeping it under the rug, they’ve turned it into a cause célèbre which has very publicly gutted one of their flagship sports shows #GaryLineker #UKPolitics #UKRacism #BBCMOTD #ToriesOut #BBCBias

Reportedly an avalanche now. Micah Richards, Jermaine Jenas, Alex Jones all joining the boycott. #BBC have turned a non-story into an #Omnishambles #BBCBias #GaryLineker #UKPolitics #UKRacism #MOTD #BBCMOTD #ToriesOut #BBCNews #StreisandEffect https://youtu.be/wWhtcU4-xAM

And reportedly #MarkChapman has turned #BBCMOTD down as well. It seems like the #BBC actually pulled #GaryLineker from the show without bothering to check if they had anyone to replace him - or, indeed, appear on the air at all #BBCBias #UKPolitics #UKRacism #MOTD #ToriesOut #BBCNews
