Well, I for one have signed the petition. In my opinion, an outrageous decision to get rid of Burnsy and his show, he made such a difference to people, particularly to the older and vulnerable generations, providing company, a community service, a link to the outside world. My late beloved Mum, had no technology/internet, his daily shows were like a lifeline to her, and many like her. Think I've mentioned before, her guilty pleasure was company with Burnsy/Swanny, Sat afternoon by her radio, listening to City coverage. She’d then ring me Sat eve to compare her listening experience of the game to that of ours at the match........until that was cruelly taken away from her.
 
I bet there's a few Burnsey's going up and down the country in local radio circles. LBF someone's got to pay for Lineker's £1.6m annual salary and Shearer doesn't come cheap. I reckon Wrighty is on a nice little earner, as well.

I wonder how many Burnsys around the country could be employed for what Zoe Ball gets for decreasing the audience?
 
Did you pop downstairs for your beer. They do some great stuff in there.
We were going to because we arrived much earlier than the doors were supposed to open, but they actually let us in when we arrived so we stayed so we could nab the front seats.
Been there plenty though as the owners are friends of my daughter.

I’m fairly confident that he will be reinstated once Alan Shearer and Ian Wright withdraw from MOTD in protest. And if Burnsey struggles with his mortgage Gary Lineker will surely put him up.
 
And what about that national treasure, Alex Scott?

She's a looker, well worth the money. Turn down the sound if you don't like the voice.

No one should really care what the commentator has to say anyway, it's just background noise to increase the atmosphere during lulls in the game and the summarisers are just to fill in the gaps between the highlights to extend the programme length.

Maybe you like watching a game in total silence with no crowd noise but I don’t. If only they could make it standard where you could have just the game and no commentary. I don’t need someone to tell me a ball has gone out for a corner and who has passed the ball to someone else.
