Sports Personality...2009


Mick Mac

Recommended Posts

Is it a poor list? Depends on whether you're talking charisma or achievement


Captain of an Ashes winning test team, GP champion driver, a few other world champs in various sports


Even Murray won 6 tournaments in 2009, the miserable b*gger.


Anyway, I'm voting for....that bloke, you know....the famous one....no, it's gone.

I always the clue to be in the title: Sports Personality


As exemplified by winners over the last three years: Chris Hoy, Joe Calzaghe and Zara Phillips.

My top 3


David Haye - He is a personality, he goes too far sometimes, but it's good to have a world class British Heavyweight.


Andrew Strauss - Won the Ashes without his best batsman, and with his star allrounder only half fit. Led from the front with his batting.


Jessica Ennis - The girl done good (and it's in her hometown).


Much as I love footy, I don't really like footballers to win this. Football is totally a team game, whereas Cricket is about individuals as well as the team. So sorry Ryan Giggs, although I do have to take my hat off to you.

what about Button? He's got my vote. yeah, maybe he wasn't as strong in the second half of the season (bar the last couple of races), but he dominated the first half and won the world bloody title. What's peoples problem with him? I mean, as many a close friend has said, hayes didn't exactly do much in his fight, and some have argued he didn't exactly deserve to win, so not sure why he tops people lists. Strauss led a very average england side with some appauling performances against an equally average austrailia, not exactly sporting glory to win the ashes. And Murray's won nowt. why the feck would anyone vote for giggs?

These days it's more likely to mean 'just winning something', coupled with a large dollop of Aunty Beeb's worthy piety about giving it to this years Origami World Champion rather than something as tasteless and popular as football or the like.


Henry Cooper, Jackie Stewart, Steve Ovett, Ian Botham, Daley Thomson...?


or Chris Hoy, Joe Calzaghe, Zara Phillips..?

Well I hope Ennis gets it - hard working champion with relatively little financial reward....but "successful" F1 drivers and boxers always seem to get the old block voting organised so I reckon Button will get it.


The award to a foreign sports star this year goes to Thierry Henry...B)

    • Yet another reason why all supermarkets should be thrown down the pit. Along with all their lies and horrid carparks. And their disgraceful treatment and terrible conditioning of their underpaid slaves. And their horrible antisocial robots who no one can even talk to, which also make their slaves even cheaper. Get rid.   X
    • What are our rights here? An item on the shelf has a price tag and next to it a discounted price if you have a club loyalty card or whatever, the expiry date for the offer is a few days in the future. Clearly you expect to be charged the discounted price because you have a loyalty card. You get to the staffed till, scan your card but the discount for the item in question has not been honoured and you've been charged full price. You tell the staff member but they go ignorant and insist the price is the full price without the discount. You go to point out the label on the shelf but they just ignore it. It was traditional to be charged the price shown on the shelf regardless and then up to the shop to correct it there and then, they don't do that now they just call you a liar. I made a complaint online and was told it was not a staff issue, staff are employed as robots nowadays and self-appointed security guards especially in the express stores. I was told next time to go detective and take photos of all the evidence so feedback can be sent to management. That's more work that what the discount is, what a joke.
    • To me, it seems the survey asks questions about ease of understanding of the SPD rather than consulting the public on opinions on the content... What's the best way of objecting to this change in guidelines? Anyone who has been to any of the consultation events and can provide an update on this?
