    You’re in a UK thread and you’ve never heard of Gary Lineker?

    Sounds like you don’t consume any media or you have a TBI.

    And you’re weirdly expressing pride at your own ignorance.

    What an odd fucking comment.

      They may not watch enough sport to put a name to the big eared crisp thief.

      This person frequently asks questions and turns around with one loosely-relevant source backing their own perspective.

      Whether intentional or not, it’s classic engagement farming. The “Yes, and?” responses certainly don’t help.

      Just don’t feed the troll lol

      A strong reaction for a simple comment. Did me discovering somebody you like offend you or something?

      No need to feel insecure.

        Mine was actually a mid-reaction for an intellectually dishonest comment. You didn’t discover anyone, you pretended to, so you come across as non-mainstream.

        I don’t mind feeling insecure. I wear it on my sleeve.

        You’re too young to realise how hackneyed and stale the “I’ve never heard of… [celebrity you’ve definitely heard of]” is. Nobody cares who you’ve heard of.

        Google exists.
