At least they got something Right... Chris Hoy congrats

Appears to be a top bloke as well!!!!

 

Seconded!

Well done!

 

Thought Hamilton would walk it

or even Andy Murray

 

Murray still needs a Grand Slam win under his belt nt

 

RE: Murray still needs a Grand Slam win under his belt nt

Think he'll get one next year

 

Me too ! nt

 

Peddling a bike that's better than anyone elses

paid for by pensioners buying lottery tickets.

Total fkng farce.

RE: What on earth is your problem

Where to start with that one....

 

I think I explained earlier what his problem is,

he's a ****! (clown) </p>

Unfortunate, but true. (dunno) </p>

 

LOL

If the man in the computerised car or the moody Scot had won it, we would have to rename the award the "Sports Of The Year Award".

 

****

You are so full of fuc`king ****.. follow the sheep dreary.

 

he is right about hamilton though

yes he beat 20 or so other people over the course of the year, but formula one has become so much about who has the best car that I think to give sports personality of the year award to somebody who won a competition on an uneven playing field would be very unfair.

Formula one needs a radical overhaul before it dies off

I don't agree with what SM has said but you're not fit to lace his boots.</p>

Did McClaren have the best car though?

or just the best driver? The thing about the cyclists is the funding they receive from the lottery and government grants means they are so far ahead of the world, its embarrassing. Not saying Hoy isnt dedicated or good at what he does, just that given what Hamilton achieved, over half a year, his age and the abilities and experience of other competitors and teams, by rights, he shouldve won. He came second last year for not winning, how does that work? But it was a phone vote and if there's a Scot in with a chance, they text like BillyO.

 

RE: Did McClaren have the best car though?

First Scot to win since Liz McColgan in 1991 and first to finish in top three since Colin McCrae in 1995

Good logic

 

Yeah

What a bugger that, for a change, Britain manages to give an edge to their competitors by giving adequate funding for facilities and equipment - we should be bloody ashamed of ourselves!

 

How long has it been a phone/text vote in? nt

 

Not knocking it

just saying in my opinion the award should be judged in terms of ability against that of your fellow competitors in the same field. Without the funding, without the technical advancement in equipment, would Britain have wiped the floor with everyone at the Olympics?
