Match of the Day host Gary Lineker has leapt to the defence of commentator Guy Mowbray after a strange theory about his role surfaced on social media.
Commentators employed by the BBC for their hugely popular programme have been accused of not actually attending the games - with some viewers claiming that they record their commentating in short bursts in a studio after the matches themselves. However, that theory was very quickly rejected by experienced commentator Mowbray, who took to Twitter on Monday morning.
He wrote: “Been shown a couple of tweets today from people who ‘know’ that the MOTD commentary is done afterwards over the edit. What else completely false, wrong and utter rubbish do they ‘know’? Never the case, never was, never will be. All live. I actually do ‘know’.”
