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.

    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
