Hafnia Posted December 15, 2013 Report Share Posted December 15, 2013 the Anne Williams tribute just reduced me to a man struggling to hold tears. Remarkable woman, some things transcend sport. JFT96. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hafnia Posted December 15, 2013 Report Share Posted December 15, 2013 2 consecutive great years for british sport... here's my seating plan guess - SAF and Moyes sat pretty much next to Murray - Fergie to get some sort of achievement award (already won the lifetime achievement though...) OK, so Murray was in Miami, fergie was pictured numerous times..... but yeah they've created a new award for him . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He looked a bit uncomfortable sat next to Bradley Wiggens' wife when it looked like her left breast was making an escape bid . Why is the kid same kid who started the show singing through his nose singing again over the guys who died this year? Hateful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually thought that, he seemed to take the applause for the people being remembered as it was for his singing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeO Posted November 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2014 This years nominees named. Rory McIlroy, Gareth Bale, Max Whitlock, Lewis Hamilton, Adam Peaty, Lizzy Yarnold, Carl Froch, Charlotte Dujardin, Jo Pavey, Kelly Gallagher (and guide Charlotte Evans). McIlroy will win it ahead of Hamilton but my vote would go to Jo Pavey for my favourite sporting moment of the year (Everton goals aside). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EtbvWJdIQYE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeO Posted November 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2014 Rory by a country mile for me. Absolutely, and he'll rightly win it; it's just that Jo's a local girl and that video gives me goose-bumps still. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If she ran nude and done the odd naked cartwheel on the way she would definitely get my vote Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeO Posted November 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2014 The whole thing's out of hand now imo, it was always studio based but now it travels around the country into big arenas and you have to pay for the tickets (£49.50 the cheapest option this year). Always been free to go to TV/radio programme recordings in the past, been to a few myself. I hate "progress" sometimes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many thanks for taking the time and trouble to do that! Now you've explained F1, I realize that I'd heard the name Hamilton but just didn't know his first name. Since you mentioned 'guide' for Kelly Gallagher, I did a search. What a competitor to win a gold medal while visually impaired. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hafnia Posted November 27, 2014 Report Share Posted November 27, 2014 Carl Froch gets nominated????!!!! Sure they didn't mix him up with Carl Frampton? I really dislike Froch - for a start he ain't all that he is cracked up to be and I can't wait for his arrogant ways to be halted by a big loss. He gets nominated for his fight with George Groves.... says it all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bailey Posted November 27, 2014 Report Share Posted November 27, 2014 Yeh I don't get the Froch nomination for this. I like him as a fighter (although I prefer Groves) but I'm not sure what the nomination is about this year. McIlroy to win for me too. Wouldn't know the majority of the others of I bumped into them in the street. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeO Posted December 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2014 Bookies have it quite tight between McIlroy and Hamilton, with McIlroy marginal favourite. Third seems to be (according to them) between Jo Pavey and Gareth Bale. Said before my vote will go to Jo and I really hope she can squeeze a place on the podium, would be well deserved. Hate that the whole thing has become SPOTY meets X-Factor though; why live music? What has that to do with sport? The whole evening will annoy the shit out of me but at least I won't have to hurl the TV out of the window like I did when Giggs and McCoy won in consecutive years.

MikeO Posted December 15, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2014 Very surprised Hamilton won... I didnt think people liked him enough! Very surprised also he smashed it as well, not arsed looking for the exact figures but he got well over 200,000 votes to McIlroys 120,000-ish. Jo Pavey got very nearly 100,000, made my night. The bookies were convinced McIlroy had it, immediately before the result was announced he was 1/10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
