Mindless yapping is ruining TV football

Reaction to Gary Lineker’s BBC salary and last week’s column...

I don’t watch Match of the Day, but I think Gary Lineker is great for England games.

@209fifashirts

Lineker is the one that makes me annoyed. He only works for the BBC part time.

@Werrington2

I fast forward through all football punditry. @paulbow73

Lineker’s £1.7 million wage is a disgrace. Does it matter who presents Match of the Day? Why not a £75k presenter?

@ChestneyS

Lineker is a boring, biased clown. Give Mark Chapman the gig. I like Kevin Kilbane.

@steviestallard

I watch football for the football and not all the mindless yapping. Still think a ‘crowd only’ option on volume is the way forward! @mradufu

Lots of people get overpaid for what they do and lots of people get underpaid for what they do. It’s the way of the world unfortunately. @Daylio1970

Lineker is full of his own self importance. He’s dull, monotine and tired.

@AndyPearson68

I’m sick of journalists fawning over Lineker despite all the rubbish he spouts about newspapers.

Good article on Man City. They are a joke club.

Kyle Walker is excellent. Tim Shaw
