It'll be won by Hamilton purly on basis that many f1 fans are obsessives are about their sport and can't see beyond it whilst the rest of us may have a wide variety of sporting interests and so our votes get spread around the other candidates. And so in a sport where there only a handful of possible champions its Hamilton's turn as he's got the best car and was the better of himself and his team mate. Fair enough.

And the winner of the worst prediction of the year goes to ....... :)
 
Wasn't going to comment but Murray and personality...really. As one dimensional as Woods and what has he won individually. Thought the Davis Cup was a team event, granted one we'd never have won. Still can't see how this ranks above the actual achievements of some of the others. Sinfield second. Again what has he achieved a sporting individual and greater than Froome (as one example)
 
Full list of winners

Young Personality -Ellie Downie
Coach of Year - Micheal O Neill
Team of the Year - Davis Cup
Helen Rollasen - Bailey Matthews
Sports Personality of the Year - Andy Murray
 
We're talking about people who vote fore Strictly, Get me out of here, X factor, Labour, UKIP etc etc - you can't know what their criteria is!

Also Roy Hodgson should be "Coach of the year" !

Think they are called the British public. That also voted in the tory party.
 
As we are coming to the end of the year the annual SPOTY happens

So who gets your votes in the normal categories

Team of The Year -

Coach of the Year -

Overseas SPOTY

SPOTY -

For me it's

Team - GB Davis Cup ( if they win it )

Coach - Mark Sampson

Overseas - Bolt

SPOTY - Ennis Hill

And the winner of the worst prediction of the year goes to ....... :)

I don't get it anymore, individuals being selected and winning who only achieved anything during the year from being within a team,they didn't win anything as an individual that I'm aware of and so couldn't have won without the rest of the contribution of the team, so yes, they should be voted for a team award, but individuals from WITHIN a team shouldn't be, IMO.
 
...but AM was a huge part of the team and richly deserved the award IMO. Glad that Hamilton and the boxer did not come close.

The year Ryan Giggs won it was a strange one for me.

So you believe the likes of Botham, Redgrave, Wilkinson and Beckham did not deserve their wins?

So Messi should never win any individual awards?
 
I would expect most to understand that they are voting on who has achieved the most throughout the year - as they have done every year. Hence why when they highlighted every contenders they showed what they "achieved" - throughout the year as opposed to their personality.
Totally agree with you here Phil, if it was personality then the likes of Jimmy Bullard would have won it
