As in football, he just went for the easy tap in from the 6yrd line.
He’ll have had very little say in it bar his offer to the authorities to take one.
Just pot luck then?
My arse!
Is that your best guess?
I'm sure it had been established in this thread that this was through a charity who selected an appropriate candidate.

Not sure which other 'authorities' would be responsible. It's not like the council are paying Lineker to house a refugee in a bedsit.
Authorities like the local council, immigration control etc.

But you say that a charity selected the refugee? Please pass that on to the frothers on here who seem to think he hand picked a brain surgeon himself from a menu. hehe

Frothers? what a stupid thing to say.....he had someone handpick a a "suitable candidate" for him, he didn't exactly take the next one in line or stand on Admiralty pier and taking the 1st one to land home to meet his Mrs did he?

As I said before....he took the easy tap in as he did in his footy career.......you BBC employee?

I doubt he’d have to if negative threads like this didn’t exist.

He’s also said he’s going to do it again.

What is said on any threads by anyone anywhere should be a complete irrelevance if his altruism is sincere and genuinely heart felt. There is no need to put it out there, just knowing that you've done your good deed should be enough.

I highly doubt he had no say. I imagine he had a lot to spec beforehand.

Someone vetted and picked a suitable candidate then? Exactly like what a lot of people want to happen to refugees and migrants to ensure they'll bring something to this country, yet Lineker shouts them down as racist on Twitter biggrin

No that's the issue with social media, people just want some kudos out of doing a kind act.

I've read numerous social media posts this week where someone has prepared a meal for a child to go to a charity which distributes them. Why not just go and do it without telling everyone else you've done it? Attention seeking fkwits.

I'd imagine many deeds are performed in private

Philanthropy is its own reward although not sure it's supposed to reward the giver.

Brilliant, all of the PH sleuths have now come to the conclusion that Lineker hand picked his refugee with not an ounce of evidence. Love it.

laugh

Probably the same people who said he would never take one in.

As I said earlier, he did little more than let somebody (With impeccable handwriting) sofa surf! Hardly worth the headline.
