Team GB win team of the year ... Even though the rules specifically state they can not win !!
Way to go BBC, that might come back to bite you
That sums up what a total joke of an award the whole bloody awful thing is.
A farce of an awards ceremony and an utter waste of time and money.

Yes blatant plug.
Enjoyed the show.
Brad deserved it imo amazing achievement.
Absolutely bafflled why Beckam was presenting the lifetime achievement award to Seb,and
reading out the winners.
If he wants to be british,stop living in America,come back and pay some taxes.
Im a Utd supporter,love him for what hes done for football,but the olympics,cycling,athletics,nowt.

I wonder how much all that tonight ( including the free bar) has cost the licence fee payer.

he was a key player in the bid team
Clare Balding should get an award for her knowledge and passion she showed during the Olympics, she is also a brilliant presenter on many sports.
She has dropped the occasional clanger too. The jockeys teeth for starters.

Bit of a let down that most of the RC guys skipped the event and that Rory "was taking a break" - poor show IMHO.
I did think IJP and Rose came across well.
Don't see why Murray made the top 3 and some much more worthy people didn't.

Because that's how the public voted, perhaps???

You don't write for the Daily Mail by any chance?
Personally I don't care as I won £165 on Brad, got him at 18 to 1 at the start of the year. Agree with others that Clare was superb, she is an extremely good, very natural and very knowledgeable sports presenter. Also as mentioned Becks did a huge amount in bringing the Olympics to London, and I think we underestimate just how famous he is outside of the UK. Plus he's box office and part of it is show biz. At the end you had Kate and Becks on stage, 2 of the most famous people in the world, so I would say licence fee well spent.

Believe it or not,I don't write for or read the Daily Mail. I've never needed a newspaper to do my thinking for me
If Showbiz, Celebs, and seeing "two of the most famous people in the world" on stage together floats your boat then I'd imagine you would be quite happy after watching last night, and you could always spend some of the £165 on a years subscription of Closer magazine.

I must admit when I saw what she was wearing I was a bit worried for my bet. Fair play to the lass, she worked her assets, and what a mighty fine asset it was. Perhaps her and Pippa should have an arse off :lol:

And ladies and gentlemen, here to present the award to Seb Coe is Paul Deighton, CEO of Locog....
What is SPOTY if it is not showbiz and celebs? Yes I would have been worried if Amy Childs had presented it, but Becks is a world famous Sports person and Kate is arguably the most famous woman in the world at the moment. Course you get them to turn up to your event and present the finale, any organiser would.

I started watching it but couldn't stick with it - terribly dull programme and very disappointing considering the sporting year it's been.

Thing is, it pretty much has to be about celebrity and glitz now. I loved it when it was Sports Review of the Year and was a detailed run through of each sport and what had been achieved. The presentation of SPOTY was just a small section at the end. As the BBC has pretty much lost the rights to every sporting event, it does not have the library of footage to do that anymore and now Sky does the most detailed reviews of the sporting year.
Now, what used to be a fitting climax to a show on sporting achievement now has to carry the whole program
