Sports Personality of the Year 2015

Yep, read last years thread when Rory didn't win, this year were talking Hamilton or Murray...........

Last year Rory won the Open whilst it was on the BBC - most of the F1 is on sky ?

It say " personality " and I've not heard anyone on the programme tell people of the voting criteria you've posted here

All they need to do is look on the BBC website

Umm why is that ?

It's just an awards ceremony with the winner voted by the public ?!

The true nature of sport, at any level, is the playing of it, the artist and the artisan, the winning and losing, not the 'look at me aren't I great?' celebration afterwards.

Just my view, one which of course you are perfectly entitled to have disagreed with. Your opinion is certainly no less valid than mine.

The production of this embarrassment just is another reason for why Sky Sports walk all over the BBC in every aspect of sports these days.

Well I'm sure that the millions who vote will all do that, and change their vote if they were voting on personality instead of actual achievement :smirk:

Micheal O Neill - Coach of the Year , that's great

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.

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.

Aye well done to that man and Norn Oirlan

I guess that would be your viewpoint on any award ceremony ?

We all know what happens when you let the public choose the winner[just like strictly last night] not always the right one is chosen.

A lot goes on personality as well.

Its not the show it was but its always on in my house.

Another thread that seems in danger of going around in a continuous circle and so after this I'm done. Personally for me the programme and the concept these days is flawed, based largely on the lack of BBC sport and and their lack of willingness to invest (Open golf etc). Nothing more than X Factor for sport and nothing more than a way of making money through the voting system for the BBC and a popularity contest and not a review of the sporting year (how can it be without any coverage to show)

In an ideal world yes, it's not, the beeb have limited the choice so if you want to vote it has to be one of them and imo some will get votes because they're nice or they're lovely or just to annoy others, sometimes some of the general public are like that.

Phil your talking so much crap its unbelievable you really are an argumentive person.

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" !

Sorry but which part of that post is "crap" or are you just once again looking to post continual digs at me, pretty much non stop from you over the last month now, if you have no interest in what I post then ignore it. Getting bored of it now.

X Factor ?! UKIP ?

What the heck ?!

 

[chrisd]

X Factor ?! UKIP ?

What the heck ?!

Anyone can vote is my point and the award is called a "personality" award but you are suggesting that people know it's really for the best sportsperson of the year - I'm just pointing out that various types of people pick the phone up to vote and YOU don't have a skoobie doo the basis of their choice!
