I think it is more a dislike of their hypocrisy. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it has far more to do with criticism of the rightwing, or any rightwing cause that can’t stand criticism, by people with a platform that gets their ideas out to large numbers of the general public. 3 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youreavinalaff Posted June 19 Share Posted June 19 To be honest, I would not have known where his shirt came from had the press not jumped on this. Another example to the media making something out of nothing. To the general audience is looks like a t shirt. An ordinary, everyday item of clothing. I wonder where the swivel chairs they use come from? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given my politics I'm hardly averse to people making and enjoying their money 😄. It's when they drive 6 litre Merc's and then support the mayhem caused by Just Stop Oil that I point out their hypocrisy. Of course, being a lefty I'd imagine doing one thing and saying another is second nature to you. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like the one in which Gary Linker is somehow answerable for the whole spectrum of progressive political views because he expresses views that are aligned with some leftwing thinking.

He can't be that wealthy if he feels the need to advertise products on the publicly funded tv service paid for by people who happen to have a TV in their home. Maybe the £1.5m he gets per year for doing half a days work per week during the football season isn't enough. Or perhaps he is just greedy and is far from the virtuous person you think he is. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you think that people who can kick a football when they are young should not face criticism for anything when they get older ? Good footballers don't need to follow any rules ever when thy get older ? David Icke shouldn't be criticised because he was a good goalkeeper ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neeranam Posted June 19 Share Posted June 19 Some people are really annoying in English football and rugby, I’m not sure why but the epitomize the arrogance of their national teams Linekar is one and others are Will Carling, Rob Andrew, Ian Botham, John Terry.
