just seen some comments about punch by flower,lineker in particular when he says if only other sports could match the on field behaviour of footballers,oh yes, the diving cheating, and crying like a baby when tackled, oh yes great advert, he has gone way down in my estimation.

I think it was a tongue in cheek comment mate. Linekers a bit of a lad isnt he!

Gary Lineker: "If only other team sports could match the on-field behaviour of football"

What like take a running karate kick at a supporter Gary? Thank Christ most other team sports do not act like footballers.

Lineker is a bit of a cheeky chap but witty as well. He reeled plenty in by a clever duel tweet. Took the p## out of his own sport n it's short falls whilst at the same time pointing out for all the hysteria over Everything in football they're not pulling stunts like this.
I've never seen so many celebrities both sports n general comment on an RL game. Shame it's for an assault that gets u jail time in the real world. (Said as a lover of a bit of biff)

If a player tried it in Rugby League the fans would chew his leg off
