Football coverage on BBC TV were a failure over the weekend as pundits, presenters and reporters – including Alan Shearer, Ian Wright and Alex Scott – walked out in solidarity with Gary Lineker.

Match of the Day aired for just 20 minutes on Saturday without accompanying commentary or analysis from presenters

Sunday’s edition followed was the same and only lasted 15 minutes.

Bit silly

Labour’s Johnathan Ashworth might look a bit silly now?

Thus morning he said: “I definitely would not have endorsed the language that Gary Lineker used in that tweet and I don’t think anybody is defending that tweet”

After a surreal few days, I’m delighted that we have navigated a way through this. I want to thank you all for the incredible support, particularly my colleagues at BBC Sport, for the remarkable show of solidarity. Football is a team game but their backing was overwhelming. 1/4

I have been presenting sport on the BBC for almost 3 decades and am immeasurably proud to work with the best and fairest broadcaster in the world. I cannot wait to get back in the MOTD chair on Saturday. 2/4

A final thought: however difficult the last few days have been, it simply doesn’t compare to having to flee your home from persecution or war to seek refuge in a land far away. It’s heartwarming to have seen the empathy towards their plight from so many of you. 3/4

We remain a country of predominantly tolerant, welcoming and generous people. Thank you. ❤️ 4/4
