Sports Personality - total joke

[ QUOTE ]
The sport has to lift its profile and this rests on the shoulders of the people responsible for the image of the sport the success of our dressage team is an outstanding improvement in our dressage performance. It was interesting on the lunchtime program on the Wireless that the planning application for Greenwich is being opposed by residents and might get refused. We have the finest three day events in the world and to chose a site which will have no trade stands and where the horses will have to kept somewhere else is a joke. The infrastructure of volunteers that events like Burghley have built up over they years can not easily be replicated in a single event. The improvement in traffic management over the years is one of the most improved factors.

that small fact is being kept rather quiet by the planners of greenwich but is another subject for another thread I think. However I do agree with Diesel Dog and perhaps she will be nominated next year.

I am a complete sports addict and actually I was pleased for Ryan Giggs and I loathe football! He has grafted away and been at the top of the sport for a long time. Alex Ferguson does not hold onto first team players for sentimental reasons.
Jenson Button did not deserve it as I do not rate him. I think we will see the truth next year when he should have a good car and no excuses!
Jessica Ennis is class.
Rugby which is followed by 750,000 people who actually play or are members of the RFU had hardly any mention because they were rubbish! Let alone Women's rugby who are actually really good.
I am surprised David Haye did not do better as that was a great story.

I agree re Ryan Giggs... some kind of organised effort by the fan base has to have something to do with it. 151,842 people voted for him. Jenson Button got 96 thousand 770 votes.

I don't think you can claim it was an organised effort by the fan base. IMO it's simply that football is the biggest sport in the country - I'm pretty sure that more people watch and play football than any other sport, so it's not a suprise that Giggs won. I was a bit surprised that he was nominated though as I'm not quite sure what he's actually done...

My vote went to cycling anyway, Cavendish all the way. The man is a machine, absolutely awesome to watch

You're right, I don't mean Mafia-style organised voting but it was alllll over all the Man U forums and the Welsh papers. I guess you're right - we'd do the same thing on here, it's just there are far more of them!
