Gary Lineker…the Midas touch


Jees he done well like. I can’t believe that podcast makes that much money, Lineker is good, Shearer dull, Richards unbearable.
I thought ppl wanted short form content, not long podcasts, tho maybe older ppl do and they are more likely too pay a monthly or whatever subscription, I cant be bothered with regular podcasts, maybe if it’s got a guest on I’m interested in
 
i am. you carry on getting things wrong.
edit, that's in relation to your middle east comment and insinuation btw. next time try to read stuff first before pressing the submit reply button.
I didn’t insinuate anything. I used the word “you” rather than “he”, a simple typo.

I have been polite.

Edit: can’t be arsed

He’s sponsored by a company. That make crisps. Sadly, that’s capitalism.

Find me some examples of sportspeople who come out and criticise their sponsors.

I hate the argument that someone who has an opinion on something, but not another, and that makes them a twat. It’s far easier to stay silent.
Ultimately his choice to run with it though. He could have chosen to accept a less rewarding deal that was more aligned to his background as an athlete. Maybe he actually enjoyed stuffing his face with shit crisps, who knows. :lol:
 
A great footballer,a renowned pundit,à very decent man and also a very smart businessman
Well done Gary

Hang on, I thought because he supported BLM he was this massive Communist…

I know this is Pure Football and all that but the Rest is History is genuinely superb. Balanced, nuanced, opinionated yet done so in a reasonable authentic way and... very funny.

In a sea of absolute guff, that podcast is going down as a Hall of Famer.

Their series on the Titanic is one of the greatest series of all time

Hi Gary

Your any absolute raging mentalist man. If Ballad got his boots sponsored by Adidas would expect to release a statement if they shipped there production to the far East instead of the UK?

KLD to make a statement cos W88 hoyed restrictions on someone's gambling account

16 years and well over 500 competitive matches for both club and country (including Barcelona, Tottenham Hotspur, Leicester City, and England). Not one single yellow card. Just cant get my head around that stat.
Different time I guess. I’d have booked him twice for diving against Cameroon for starters!

Have friends who have worked with him on charity stuff and said he couldn't do enough to help.
Clearly a very, very smart guy as well.
Ironic thing is he will probably earn more now he's not at the BBC
Which will have the gammon bollocks steaming

Also deafeningly silent after the October 7 rapes and murders.
silent on the rapes as there has been zero evidence presented that they took place
And the people making the claims have been widely debunked.
And the people who repeated the claims have been made to look like idiots.

Suggest you watch a film called 'Tantura'

Didn't the UN and other agencies confirm that rape and sexual assaults happened?

I don't know if the UN has, but that report linked seems to be from an Israeli organisation, not a UN one. In regard to the original point, Israel supporters who demand "both sides" criticism from Lineker are usually equally silent about the rapes routinely committed by their despicable army.
 
From “Gosh, Gary Lineker has done well as a podcaster” to banging on about Israel and Palestine. Ironically from the ones who normally say “oh football and politics shouldn’t mix”.

I agree. Without searching, I've no doubt the IDF have committed rape and sexual assaults. The same with Hamas. Anyone who believes it didn't happen or isn't happening is lying to themselves.

Always happens. The OP knew what he doing when he started this thread. Unfortunately, people don't remember Gary Lineker for the great player he was and his career in broadcasting.
