Sports Personality 2012

[Mick Mac]

Who will it be ?

Suspect Rory is a shoe in ;) he should be any way.

[bon3yard]

Wiggins looking very sharp a la Mod tonight, Sue Barker looked a little ill at ease when he took to the stage. It has to be our Brad doesnt it?

[Mick Mac]

I'd say so. He certainly deserves it more than last year's winner. Bradley's achievements are unique.

[????]

I put a bet on Rory back in Feb, in a normal year that'd be pretty shoed in but Wiggins, Mo,Jessica , even the grumpy the Scot...all ahead

[Mick Mac]

Have bet on Bradley tonight. Odds on can't lose? Surely.

And he is there. I don't think you can expect to win if you don't turn up.

[Ann]

What about Ben Ainsley? Granted, sailing is not a popular sport inasmuch as most of us don't understand the nature of the it and the difficulty involved.

It's only the last two Olympics that GB's medal haul has been praiseworthy; memories are short, we've been grateful for Ben getting us onto the medal board in the past.

[maxxi]

After not having any women on the shortlist last year it'll probably be Jessica won't it?

[Help-Ma-Boab]

Murray, Hoy, Grainger. Scotland 1,2,3. Got to be! I'm hoping wee Tam from the curling club gets unsung hero award as well!

[Ann]

Sorry, but Murray has no real chance. Not under-estimating his achievements but he's not that well liked compared to the other contenders.

Jessica must be one of the favorites.

[Mick Mac]

Yeah. It Wiggins, big fav followed by Ennis and Mo.

[the-e-dealer]

I still dont see why we seek personality in a sports person. Its like looking for the fastest 100 metres in the comedians.

[Mick Mac]

We don't. It's nothing to do with personality. Get with it.

[Mick Mac]

Betting is quite close between Bradley and Jessica now.

[the-e-dealer]

Then why not call it Sports Person of the Year

Sad to see Nigel Doughty, having passed away this year. And all the others.

[DJKillaQueen]

I agree that Wiggins will probably get it, but we are spoilt for choice. I honestly can't decide who should get it.

One of the few years the award has lived-up to its title. A winner.. With a personality.

Most years it's just a case of 'has anyone won anything?' and 'has anyone heard of them?' - and even then a winner might not manage both of those.

Er, I think he,d already won it a few hours earlier :)

[Mick Mac]

DJKQ, runs down the bookies at midnight ...... hoping to get a bet on.

Calzaghe won it, he was in Vegas at the time (watching Hatton get battered by Mayweather, I think).

Although he wouldn't have stood a chance against the 2012 bunch.

[KidKruger]

Also Calzaghe, though a lovely guy, is not a personality.

[the-e-dealer]

I think they really Mean Sports Person of the Year.

Yep... zero personality.

I see his acting career hasn't really taken off yet...

[KidKruger]

There'll be no acting career. I think same for Haye.
