Gary Lineker revealed how the running order on Match of the Day works.
Gary Lineker has explained how the Match of the Day running order is chosen, revealing the most exciting game is always first up on the show.
The 62-year-old often gets accused of being biased by fans when their team isn't on first on Match of the Day. The running order of the BBC programme normally hints at which Premier League fixtures are the most and least entertaining. himself and the pundits have a say in the running order, but, ultimately, it's the editor's decision.It changes halfway throughway the season when the title race hots up and positions start to matter.
Speaking on The Rest Is Football podcast, he said:"It is a combined effort but it is ultimately the editor's decision."Obviously when you cover a sporting event, the main focus is on the leaders. You don't watch a horse race and focus on the back six... Towards the second half of the season, whoever is top of the league has to come into your thinking when deciding."
