WTFiGO!?! Posted December 15, 2013 Report Share Posted December 15, 2013 Were there a whole host of personal friends/witnesses lining up to try to convince the world of what a 'fun guy' he is in private and how he's so misunderstood by the public?

In it's present guise, it breaching the trade descriptions act and has done on other occasions in the past. Admittedly last years winner has a bit of character and personality, but this years.......?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid in the Riot Posted December 15, 2013 Report Share Posted December 15, 2013 They should rename it "Sports Achievement of the Year" cus that's basically what it boils down to. Hardly any personalities in sport these days anyway. Wiggins, Hatton?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes he has the personality of a brick wall, That counts you know How do you have a personality in sport though? Because everyone has a personality so what makes someone stand out?

The Right Honourable Les Q Posted December 15, 2013 Report Share Posted December 15, 2013 That award lost all credibility as far back as 1971 when the horse faced Princess Anne won it. She got sh1t-faced after, apparently. To be fair, she does seem to have a bit about her, compared to say, Beckham or Nigel Mansell... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Right Honourable Les Q Posted December 15, 2013 Report Share Posted December 15, 2013 Is it an oxymoron, or a misnomer? I think Alan Shearer should answer this. To be fair to Murray, if I had to play tennis all day, everyday, and answer questions about it, and spend 3 weeks in SW19 every year, talking about and playing tennis over and over, I think I would go nuts. And be miserable. And dull. Although 2 weeks in NYC in September can't be all bad....except you have to play tennis every day, and answer endless stupid questions about tennis...drivd you nuts, wouldn't it?

It's the old 'Do you need to be nuts to get into boxing or do the numerous knocks to the head make boxers nuts?' question. Or even the better documented egg, chicken and order of ejaculation dilemma.

WhistleHappy Posted December 15, 2013 Report Share Posted December 15, 2013 That award lost all credibility as far back as 1971 when the horse faced Princess Anne won it. ...bit of a mix-up occurred that year Nocturn, rumour has it that the wrong trophy was engraved with Ann's name by mistake so the Beeb had to go with it. Hers was meant to be on the Horse Of The Year Award... a long time ago though & these things happen occasionally I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcfctim Posted December 15, 2013 Report Share Posted December 15, 2013 It's got to the point where people who go on about how he doesn't have a personality are much more boring than Murray himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhistleHappy Posted December 15, 2013 Report Share Posted December 15, 2013 Travesty that Eddie 'The Eagle' Edwards never won it - I believe he was nominated once though ... was that a great winter (maybe the best ever) Olympics to watch or what? .. 1988 brilliant!!

WTFiGO!?! Posted December 16, 2013 Report Share Posted December 16, 2013 So taking into account some big old IF's - SOD, Murray and Shearer in for most boring bastard of 2014, anyone? Bryan Robson will be sobbing into a pint of his best bitter, no doubt. How could I forget? I see Michael Owen is launching his own brand of personality on us via the pretence of a punditry career, so that should be fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cider_dog Posted December 16, 2013 Report Share Posted December 16, 2013 Usual BBC 'Minority Montage' carp. Coldplay, a fat lesbian and a swimming dwarf. Harsh, but sadly true. Sorry to be offensive but I resent paying a licence fee for this syrupy drivel. I'd rather watch City for 90 minutes! I am clearly insane...

ChippenhamRed Posted December 16, 2013 Report Share Posted December 16, 2013 The whole "Andy Murray is boring" thing is far more dull than the actual guy himself. Pretty sure there are plenty of people on here who wouldn't come across that well on the telly. Murray even acknowledged his "monotonous voice" himself last night! Andy Murray is one of the only British sports people competing at the very top of a globally popular sport, and this year won it's biggest prize in front of a home crowd. Surely he's due more credit than criticism? Clearly Sports Personality has always been about achievement. Nick Faldo won it for goodness sakes! Follow Murray on twitter and you'll see he has more about him than otherwise comes across. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
