Not interested anymore. Gone too PC (typical now of the BBC) and the presenters are awful particularly Linekar & Balding ... sound like dodgy solicitors.

Why this reason? When did the royal family win it ?

Don't watch it because it's crap or you're not interested but why this thinking?

Ah, I was thinking Anthony Royle (Ralf Little) for being a half decent footballer... :lol:

Thought Olympic Gold Medalist Princess Anne deserved it at the time (40+ years ago now) :clap:

Allan, I met her a couple of times on ceremonial and other duties and she is okay

She is to the point but has a wicked sense of humour, too! :thumbright: :lol:

This year's vote is a farce because of the Tyson Fury fiasco; and I blame the Beeb themselves for that :(

Re: sports personality of the year

All nonsense I mean a horse won in once.

Not princess Anne but Red Rum.

Re: sports personality of the year

Zara Phillips won it in 2006 beating Darren Clarke into 2nd place. God only knows how she won.
Darren Clarke chose to play in the Ryder Cup only a few weeks after his wife died and Europe won.
If those circumstances were repeated today I'd like to think he'd win and not her.

Personality. Fury has one. Hamilton sadly doesn't

Tyson has guts, strength of character and personality; Hamilton has the fastest car (young George Russell proved that) and a seemingly massive 'chip' on his shoulder for such a privileged young man :(

Not going to lie. Shed a tear seeing all the people we have lost this year. Whitts included.

Re: sports personality of the year

Sun Dec 20, 2020 10:14 pm

Oh the uneducated driver won it.

The guy is an idiot and would never have won most of his titles if the cars had all been the same. Russell proved that.

Like the BBC I switch off when he’s on and always will.

Would have liked to see Ronnie O'Sullivan win it.

He's had an incredible career and, incredibly, this is the first time he's been nominated.

Disappointed that Lewis Hamilton won - I'm pretty sure if he wasn't British, everyone in the UK would hate him.

Not a great year for sport and therefore not a great shortlist this year.

Whereas next year they'll have the Euros and Olympics to feed off (hopefully).

Pathetic that it actually was on this year.

An angry bloke who lives in Monaco and drives a car around a roadtrack for a living wins a meaningless cup.

Re: sports personality of the year

Mon Dec 21, 2020 12:16 pm

Well I'm going to be in a minority of one here but I think Lewis Hamilton fully deserved to win this award and for me it's easy to dismiss his achievements as being simply because he has the best car. From his first "Rookie" season in FI Lewis Hamilton showed the F1 World that he was in it to win it, and ripped a new arsehole into Fernando Alonso his team mate at Mclaren, in fact by the 2nd season at Mclaren Alonso was crying like a kid who had lost his sweets because ne simply couldn't deal with Hamiltons driving ability and total commitment to be the best.

Sport if full of champions who have had the same dedication, distain for the peers and complex persona, but you should never dismiss their achievements because they had the best car or no personality. Nick Faldo was a brilliant golfer, but off the course he was well known as a loner, the same goes for Lester Pigott and what he jockey he was, yes he won a record number of Derby's and yes in most cases he was sat on the best horse but I have seen him win on horses he had no right to win on.

Right now in F1 Mercedes does have the best car, but not on all tracks, but Lewis Hamilton drags every ounce of performance out of the car and without doubt even though his team mate has the same car Bottas can hardly lay a glove on him.

I think a knighthood is on it's way to Lewis Hamilton and in my opinion he will have earned it, personality, complexity or dedication you can put it all in the same box. WINNER.

I didn't watch it, it would be a joke if that rich go-cart driver won it, it's not even a real sport!!!

More personality in a potato than LH. Driving the best car available, I bet he wouldn't win the title as easy if all the drivers drove the same car. Another pointless BBC award, im with Tyson Fury on this one.

Re: sports personality of the year

Tue Dec 22, 2020 7:34 am

I didn't see it.

Did Hamilton take a knee when accepting the award?

What so a guy who kicks up a fuss, lives in a different country & drives a car for a living quicker than some others deserves a knighthood?
Suppose though if you look at the benchmark- a tennis player, a yachtsman, a few footballers and cricketers and the odd golfer and racing commentator and some cyclists as well as other car drivers, and a boxer and rugby players and assorted odds and sods not least people who sing, dance and act for a living, it’s not that big a deal

Hamilton is nothing but a hypocrite. Works for a company that employed 1000's of slaves at one time.

most successful out of how many though.... id imagine your average welsh league footballer has to be better than more footballers to play at that level than a F1 driver has to be to get a car....
