Match of the Day fans crack jokes as another major part of the show is missing in 'weird' almost silent episode
Match Of The Day went ahead on Saturday night in almost silence without a presenter, pundits and regular commentators, following the fallout over presenter Gary Lineker. Co-stars Alan Shearer and Ian Wright announced they would be boycotting the show, in solidarity with the sports broadcaster and footballing icon, late on Friday evening.
They said: "We're sorry that we're unable to show our normal Match of the Day including commentary tonight, but here now is the best action from today's premier league matches."Gary stepped back from Match of the Day in a row over impartiality after comparing the language used to launch a new government asylum policy with 1930s Germany on Twitter.
@Shelley_Bxx said: "Gutted we have lost the #MOTD tune." @PottskyRob joked: "Even the theme tune refused to be part of the show." And @SteveRightNLeft said: "How ridiculous the BBC couldn't even play the theme tune." @Helen_Breese remarked: "How am I supposed to fall asleep on the sofa without the soothing tones of the #MOTD theme tune and commentary??" @c__ferrara said jokingly: "Even the theme tune is boycotting #MOTD. Telly=off." And @EdwardTHardy echoed: "Even the Match of the Day theme tune boycotted the show in solidarity with Gary Lineker."
