Sometimes you find yourself in an impossible position which is not of your making and you feel helpless to do anything about it.
When Gary Lineker's stand-off with the BBC about a post on Twitter erupted into a boycott across the corporation's sports department, never in a million years did I think that, as co-host of Six-0-Six, I would be caught in the crossfire. The shows were cancelled last weekend, replaced by pre-recorded programmes, and the most important people – the listeners and fans – lost their voice.
It was only around noon on the Saturday lunchtime – about seven hours before the phone-in lines were due to open – that I heard Sport on Five was being forced off the air and I realised we had to make a choice between solidarity or being ostracised.
