SPOTY - That time of year again!

[clubchamp98]

It’s a funny perception as the most famous golfer on the planet for a decade was black!

How many non golfers could name an British golfer? Apart from Rory.
But I would wager they all know who Tiger is.

Just watched the rerun of Fitzy winning the US Open on Sky.

Bbc not interested? Their loss.

BBC Radio had an hour long program about him today on 5live ?‍

You still watch it? One to consign to the history books for me.

With Rory nominated at least Golf will get more than 30 seconds.....
It's a pretty uninspiring shortlist though...

I applied for tickets for the Jools Holland Hofmann. Didn’t get any. Saw the
Application for SPOTY tickets. Not a cat in hells chance.

I still watch it - nostalgia I guess. Saw the shortlist and was pretty shocked - is that the best we got this year?!

 

[Neilds]

Can’t believe it has been relegated to a Tuesday night - are the Beeb getting tired of it now?

 

[Billysboots]

I see Joey Barton’s last minute social media charm offensive didn’t get him a nomination then?

Of those on the list it has to be Stuart Broad for me. An incredible career both in terms of achievement and longevity. But as usual I have absolutely no clue how the public will vote.

A difficult one to call, primarily because there are no genuine stand out nominations.

 

[GB72]

It is interesting and I wonder if there have been any achievements in sports that are not seen to be as popular to a television audience that may trump the achievements of those that are nominated.

England's rugby women have arguably played to a similar level to the women's football team but no nomination.

 

[Mel Smooth]

Rory’s nominated?

Have they changed it to the Split Personality of the Year awards?

I'm sure Broad will win it, but I'd like to see Earps win it. Apart from a slight mistake in the match versus Netherlands, she has been pretty immense every time I see her play. I'd swap her for Onana if it was allowed, and she seems to have 10 times more character and bottle than most of the players in the mens Man Utd team.

KJT
rory
Earps

In that order

Really? Oh to hell with nostalgia then. If it aint the Sunday before Christmas Day then I'm relieved of duty!

John Rham for me Spectacular u turn of the year.!

 

[paddyc]

Not a great list. Can't understand a nomination for Rory considering no major win and Fitzy not getting nominated last year.
I'm sure Rory can stay at home in Florida
Europe Ryder Cup Team of the Year?
Luke Donald Coach of the Year?
I doubt it.

I’d be very surprised to see any awards heading golf’s way. I suspect Man City are nailed on for team of the year given the fact they won the treble.
