Re: SPOTY
Those figures suggest that those who thought it was a foregone conclusion were wrong, this was so one-sided it was at least a five or sixgone conclusion.
Frankly though I don't give a toss about horse racing, McCoy's record is worthy of recognition year after year.
Not a great year for interviews, 1/2 d was dull as ditch-water & Murray, to his credit, confessed to the most boring voice since Father Fitzgerald.

NEVER MOVE ON. Years on, I cannot ever watch Ireland with anything but indifference, I continue to wish for the imminent death of Donal Spring, the FIRFUC's executioner of Wee Paddy & Wee Stu, and I hate the FIRFUCs with undiminished passion.

To be fair, if Stuart Hall had won Wimbledon last year, he probably would have won SPOTY by a distance.

Best price you can get is 1/5, so it looks like it. Hard to think of a major sporting accomplishment before December that could eclipse him.Russ wrote:So Rory then?

Re: SPOTY
Cue arguments about what constitutes a "personality".
Don't even bother watching it anymore. BBC only gives recognition to sports they cover.
