Gary Lineker has broken his silence and lifted the lid on the BBC’s porn debacle, which detracted from a morale-boosting win for Jurgen Klopp and Liverpool.
Porn again
There is obviously no story more important than an adult man who goes by the moniker of Jarvo69 engineering a prank which meant ‘the BBC were left red-faced’ by the sound of pornographic noises playing over their FA Cup coverage.
With apologies to the ongoing strike action, the cost-of-living crisis and the latest self-inflicted mess engulfing the Metropolitan Police, this is what the public want to read about in the nation’s best-selling newspaper:

F**king hell.
Bring on the noises
As Football Cliches ace Adam Hurrey noted on Twitter at the time: ‘Look forward to the quick online headlines for that, there really is no precedent.’
How right he was to be excited about reading football-speak in a story where football-speak absolutely does not belong.
The Sun website (‘Gary Lineker breaks silence on porn scandal and says BBC has ‘nothing to apologise for”) and Daily Mirror website (‘Gary Lineker breaks silence over porn prank and disagrees with BBC apology’) went for the fan favourite pretence of silence-breaking despite a) Lineker acknowledging the noises live on air multiple times, and b) Lineker tweeting about the situation during the BBC’s coverage.
The Daily Express website go for the slightly less conventional ‘Gary Lineker lifts lid on ‘porn noise’ studio scandal and left baffled by BBC apology,’ as if he is a transfer journalist bringing insider information on the latest deal.
In a sensational turn of events, talkSPORT refers to the ‘infamous porn noise’ which ‘rudely interrupted’ the channel.
The Daily Mirror website calls it a ‘porn debacle’, which sounds incredibly painful.
And finally, there’s The Sun website and the Liverpool Echo both stating that the coverage was ‘hit by’ the pornographic noises, like an injury crisis ahead of an important game.
The first one to do a cracked BBC logo wins.
Viewer discretion advised
‘Pundits Gary Lineker and Alan Shearer struggled to hide their embarrassment as they were forced to compete with an odd noise that viewers likened to a porn film.’
You are fooling absolutely no-one, Gary Stonehouse of The Sun website. Don’t even watch that stuff, do you?…
