Spoty

[RAZOR]

Lineker sounding terrible.

 

Dandies to win the Team Award?

[Scrumpy]

Rory McIlroy to win surely?

 

Although I'd give it to that bird on the sledge - need real balls for that lark.

[RAZOR]

I kind of thought Bale myself.

 

See Aberdeen actually got a mention as well.

[Scrumpy]

Quite a poor line up all round this year...

[RAZOR]

I'm not even sure I can understand why Bale is in the running...

Because he's an ex DA EPEHL playa who won the Chumps League.

[King Street Loon]

Mentioned in regards to what?

[RAZOR]

Mentioned in regards to what?

Video montage. Rooney scoring the pen, team celebrating with trophy with the 'and Aberdeen who won their first trophy in nearly 29 years'

 

St J also got a mention.

[King Street Loon]

Nice to get a mention now and again.

Didn't realise this show was on tonight or that it was coming from le weeg

[Bluto10]

I'm not even sure I can understand why Bale is in the running...

He's done as well as any Brit football bloke is nothing amazing.

 

If he'd scored 30+ league goals and 15 in the CL then he'd be a great winner.

 

But he didnt.

But its SPORTS PERSONALITY not what you have done

Where exactly is his personality

[RAZOR]

Ack well then.

 

Would think McIlroy would win it at some point. Probably next year if we wins the Masters and/or British Open.

[zebradentist]

200k votes to win isn't that many considering you could vote for free

 

If the public had a memory longer than five months McIlroy would have won it

 

If McIlroy was also black and English it would have been a landslide

Twelve contenders have been shortlisted for the 2015 BBC Sports Personality of the Year award on 20 December.

Athletes Jessica Ennis-Hill, Mo Farah and Greg Rutherford are included, with tennis player Andy Murray, F1's Lewis Hamilton and footballer Lucy Bronze.

Boxer Tyson Fury, cyclists Chris Froome and Lizzie Armitstead, swimmer Adam Peaty, gymnast Max Whitlock and rugby league's Kevin Sinfield are nominated.

 

 

 

A Change.org petition has been launched demanding that “the BBC should immediately reconsider Fury's inclusion on the shortlist” and remove him from the BBC Sports Personality of the Year shortlist because of his homophobic comments.

The petition - set up by user Scott Cuthbertson from Edinburgh - has received 662 signatures in less than 24 hours.

"Young people need sports personalities that they can look up to not people who express outrageous homophobic views, which can cause bullying and self-harm."

Tyson made a number of offensive comments in a Mail on Sunday interview: “There are only three things that need to be accomplished before the devil comes home.

“One of them is homosexuality being legal in countries, one of them is abortion and the other is paedophilia. Who would have thought in the 50s and 60s that those first two would be legalised?

“When I say paedophiles could be made legal, it sounds crazy. But if I had said to you about the first two being made legal in the 50s, I would have been looked upon as a crazy man.

"People can say, 'You are against abortions, you are against paedophilia, you are against homosexuality', but my faith and my culture is based on the Bible."

 

 

Sounds like Fury and Clydeside Sheep would get on well.

[Zeus]

Folk really do get offended very easily.

 

I hope Fury wins it

[Redforever86]

It's about personality Fury should win it hands down.

 

Folk seem to think it's about sporting merit, you get honours with in your discipline for that. This should be about a character that has brought interest and entertainment to a sport.

Yes, we are both tall, handsome, strapping Gentlemen, with larger than life personalities and highly skilled in unarmed combat.

[Clydeside_Sheep]

Of course he should, very few sports people actually have a personality.

 

Look at Andy Murray, a great tennis player and a nice guy, but with all the personality of a piece of wood. How could it be otherwise, given his entire life since youth has been about one thing only - playing tennis.

 

However, I cant see the BBC giving an award to someone who has criticised that which is sacred to secular society - homosexuality and abortion (even though he is right in what he says about these, the ugly marks of a failing culture).

 

I hope I am wrong however, someone like Fury would be so refreshing.

The equality network is funded by the Scottish Govt, using public money.

 

Let them find their own funding, then I will perhaps take their point of view marginally more seriously.

 

Meantime, Cuthbertson should put a cock sock in it.

In all seriousness you're about the same height as tup.

Yer ba's - you were only taller coz your hair was sticking up

Andy Murray should win the team award.

Andy Murray should win the team award.

The TA geeks will be going into overdrive if they call them the British Davis cup team.

Now a video recorded before the Klitschko fight shows Fury airing his views on Ennis-Hill, the world heptathlon champion, with whom he could end up sharing a podium at the ceremony on 20 December.

“That’s the runner, isn’t it? She’s good, she’s won quite a few medals, she slaps up good as well,” Fury replied when asked about Ennis-Hill. “When she’s got a dress on she looks quite fit.”

Fury is also asked about his attitude to female boxers: “I’m all for it. I’m not sexist,” he said. “I believe a woman’s best place is in the kitchen and on her back. That’s my personal belief. Making me a good cup of tea, that’s what I believe.”
