I think Lineker is very good at his job. Of course I don't in any way think he is worth his salary. But I don't get the hate he is receiving from some.

They also advertise their other shows before and after prime shows like MOTD. I mean, this really isn't difficult to understand.
BBC make a good bit from Linekers talents and he is well compensated.

Don't get the BBC haters.
The BBC is brilliant and has always been.
The licence fee has always been a good deal.
BBC TV & Radio produce quality rather than fluff.
All Pay for view, for profit, shareholder, TV is the devil.
People are so short sighted. Can only see today and the deal that is in front of them.
The BBC who brought me the John Peel show, Bob Crampsey, David Begg commentaries, Sportsound, BBC 6 music, great documentaries, Play for Today, Wimbledon, The Open etc.
Sky on the other hand out bid everyone for every sporting event they wanted like a big greedy ****, held us all to ransom, totally ****ed the football market for Scottish football teams and sucked vast sums of money out of our pockets.
If the BBC goes all you have is the worst blood sucking capitalist TV stations.
The massive businesses kill the opposition and then **** everyone up the arse with the"going rate" which brings us back to Lineker.
Gary Lineker is good at what he does but he is overpayed given the honour of being on BBC. Performers always worked for the BBC for reasons other than the money. However, you could easily argue that he is not overpayed if you look at the salaries Gabby Yorath & Claire Balding are paid for ruining sports programmes with their trite uninformed hiya drivel. The late Ron Pickering and the not late Brendan Foster must be disgusted with only Steve Cram now giving athletics the gravitas of presentation the sport deserves.Last edited by CMurdoch; 17-09-2019 at 11:49 AM.

Totally agree - people who complain about it should experience what other countries have - I can't think of many better ways to spend £12 every month.

In the early days the BBC was so good at propaganda that Joseph Goebbels used it as a model for Hitler's Nazi propaganda machine.
You might expect the Corporation to produce some good programming in the near 100 years they've been in existence, particularly so, given that they had a monopoly on the TV screen for so long but I think it's fair to say that they've also produced some amount of guff and, as an aside, the budget they 'give' to Scottish Football is an absolute joke.
With regard to Gary Lineker he is massively overpaid for what he does, whether he does it well or not is not relevant. I don't see people turning off MOTD when it's presented by Dan Walker or anyone else half decent for that matter.
For what it's worth, I don't subscribe to Sky TV but at least I can opt in or out as I please. I have no option with the BBC and genuinely grudge seeing my TV licence fee wasted on former footballers and worse still failed reporters and politicians like Andrew Neil and Micheal Portillo.

The very fact you are able to make your claim is evidence enough it isn't as bad as other places and in the world.

I think we should be allowed to opt out of the bbc programmes and licence fees,it is foisted upon us whether we like it or not.

There is next to nothing on the BBC that interests me or I can't get elsewhere and I haven't watched it in literally years.
I concluded years ago that BBC HQ in England and its subsidiary BBC Scotland reflect Scotland the way they would like it to be rather than the reality of what Scotland is really like.
Linekar is an excellent presenter and an interesting and progressive person but if the BBC makes the choice of paying him £1.7m while paying £2m annually for the rights to Scottish Football then its only fair I also make my own choices regarding paying license fees for owning a TV set.
Its a very weird tax in this day and age and of course totally unenforceable.Last edited by The Baldmans Comb; 17-09-2019 at 01:43 PM.

You pay pennies a day for everything available on the BBC and yet some would rather do away with it so we can watch adverts every ten minutes. It is still by far the best value for money out there. Be careful what you wish for.
