Really, what is the point? The world of sport has moved on since the BBC dominated the globe. Do you think Usain Bolt is arsed about this accolade?

As for no women this yera?, pathetic. If that's what your selection process serves up, then, it is wrong.

Women aren't represented well in the sporting media, that's not an excuse for them not be recognised. 'Personality' should to be replaced by 'Sportsperson'of the year, perhaps.

I think these awards should be taken out of the BBC hands and given to a body with more prestige... The Beeb could still produce and broadcast the event but should focus on an editorial which delivers a cracking 'review' of the year. As it stands, it is becoming a laughing stock, the X Factor of sport.
Do they have to have stunning Personality to Qualify? Or are they just supposed to be good at Sport. I really don't how out facing personality really affects a Sportman's performance. As for suggesting the bloke who commirtted suicide shouldn't we find out why this happened first.

I'm afraid she comes under the heading of 'never heard of her'. I think the person should be at least reasonably well know, else 'Mad Dave' from the local pub darts team would be in the running.

Told you so.




What a poor result.....we this year have UK golfers achieving feats that have never before been achieved and probably wont again, yet we give it to a cyclist who is ranked only 6th in the sports biggest event.


And within golf to put Darren Clarke above Rory McIlroy is just not right either.

Cricket didn't even make the top three?!? Just goes to show its not really a national sport, it's just for dusty old sports writers, colonials, peckhamgatecrasher and me (and ratty apparently and david_carnell and one or two others).


Still, that cyclist seemed nice.

    • Hello! We are relocating abroad and so will be withdrawing our two children (ages 4 and 6) from St Dunstan’s College (Catford). If any family is considering enrolling children of a similar age, now would be an excellent opportunity—we’re required to pay full‑term fees unless the places are taken. Please get in touch if you’re interested or know someone who might be. Thank you!
    • Hi  I really thought I'd seen a more recent post on the forum about home education meet ups. I can't find it though.

    • Thanks for your reply. I’ve subscribed to Ancestry a few times in the past but felt I wasn’t using it enough to warrant keeping up the subscription.    
    • Hi, I saw your post and just wanted to say that the incident you’re referring to did happen in the late 1980s at Dawson’s Heights. The person involved was named Carl Salawa, and he had just turned 18 years old at the time. Like you, I haven’t been able to find any news articles or official reports about it, If anyone remembers anything more about that time or incident, I’d really appreciate hearing about it. Thanks for sharing what you were told—it means a lot to know others remember.
