Gary Lineker proves he has a sense of humour with tweet about Russian player

In times gone by, reminding Gary Lineker that he literally did a poo on a football pitch might upset him a bit. But these days, it seems like he's actually happy to remind the entire nation about it by making jokes about it on Twitter. It's an odd thing to bring up, but I guess when you get thousands of people replying with "shat on pitch" every time you tweet, you might as well face it head on. https://twitter.com/GaryLineker/status/741706568429895680 When England's match against Russia kicked off, Lineker tweeted about Oleg Shatov, who does have a funny name... come on, you know you don't want to laugh, but every time you hear his name you chuckle on the inside. The replies were... predictable. https://twitter.com/Alex_is_Sanchez/status/741706616635043840 https://twitter.com/KumailSherazi/status/741706764052238337 https://twitter.com/SimplyNahki/status/741706607843811328 This is why we can't have nice things.
