Fordy62 Posted December 20, 2015 Report Share Posted December 20, 2015 Have I missed a thread on this somewhere? i hate Fury. The bloke is a cock of the highest order but I'm sat here wanting him to win for two reasons; 1. For comedy value. 2. It's probably fair given his achievement. I'd like to reiterate that he's a cock though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he deserved to win it after going to Germany and beating Klitschko, no one saw it coming at all and a great achievement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shtanley Posted December 20, 2015 Report Share Posted December 20, 2015 People think Andy Murray has no personality because he doesn't show it on the court. He's hilarious off the court!

CotswoldRed Posted December 20, 2015 Report Share Posted December 20, 2015 Unfortunately it's a popularity contest, mainly amongst part-time sports fans, so a million miles from any objectivity. So be it. I can think of many who have achieved more this year but they are unknowns or from lesser known sports without as much UK profile. A shame.

Absolutely, but Murray was better under Lendl when Roger/Nadal were closer to their prime than currently. Djokovic is benefiting from that, as he is well coached.

Phileas Fogg Posted December 20, 2015 Report Share Posted December 20, 2015 Wanted fury to win to stick two fingers up to the SJW idiots who petitioned to get him off. You have a right to be offended but he also has a right to say it. He's also from a gypsy family, of course his views might not be in line with 21st century political correctness.

The guy is self-deprecating (as he showed in his acceptance speech), has bags of personality and isn't afraid to offer an opinion. A shame some people still can't get past the voice. Shocked he won though - expected Ennis-Hill to win it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, same here, would have wet myself laughing if he'd won. His views are somewhat outdated and probably objectionable to a lot of people but that shouldn't affect how his achievements are seen.

Robbored Posted December 20, 2015 Report Share Posted December 20, 2015 For the first time in many years I didn't bother to watch SPoTY tonight. I finally accepted ( although I'm a huge sports fan as most of us are ) that it's just become drawn out and overlong. Add to that meaningless awards like the team one and the fact there were no cricketers on the short list and I opted to watch some recorded stuff to catch up with. Mrs Robbo thinks it's all rigged anyway....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex_BCFC Posted December 20, 2015 Report Share Posted December 20, 2015 I don't bother with it. They should rename it Sporting Achievement of the Year. I quite like Murray but I think Fury was unlucky not to win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess would have been no, if England Mens Football team got 3rd at a world cup everyone would have been brown nosing for Hodgson to win it, so my opinion was Sampson should have won. Anybody notice Gaby Logan's dismissing of the rest of the Davis Cup squad pretty much during the earlier interview, when Murray said he wishes he could have been standing with the rest of the squad instead infront alone, Logan talked along the lines 'well YOU were the one who won so many games for them' emphasising the one man team idea, which is why I found it funny that the Davis Cup team won team of the year, again I'd have said Ladies Football team.
