SPOTY

I will watch it, unless there's a good film on some obscure channel. Not sure if the BBC have any highlights of the year to show unless they borrow footage from other channels. Think the right people have been nominated this year though.

BBC DELIGHTED TO ANNOUNCE A LATE ENTRY TO SPOTY , RACING POST REPORTING A MASSIVE PLUNGE AS LATE ENTRY IS SET TO GO OFF
AT 1.01

I will watch it so I can steal Gary linekers jokes

c4 Scottish railways
Travelog

Sounds miles BETTER

We have representatives from athletics, Formula 1, Rugby Union, football and cricket.

DINA ASHER-SMITH

LEWIS HAMILTON

KATARINA JOHNSON-THOMPSON

ALUN WYN JONES

RAHEEM STERLING

BEN STOKES


Scotland rugby union great Doddie Weir, who will be honoured with the Helen Rollason Award tonight....Will be emotional

Alun Wyn Jones for me.

If Ben Stokes wins it will be one of the biggest scandals of the year. He's lost the vice captaincy for fighting and choked his wife off the field. Him and the team cheated in their phantom world cup win against New Zealand, they lost the ashes, nearly lost to Ireland, lost to the West Indies and New Zealand in tests and he's not even fkn english.

Probably an hour of Womens sport , plus Homosexuals who have come out this year Gallery ,,

...and Gareth Thomas.  Don't forget Gareth Thomas.  He's special.

GAZ OF THE DAY , Must be absolutely seething after thursday

Thomas will be cheered for contracting HIV.

I have not yet got round to changing the channel after Countryfile so I was surprised to see 5 minutes of some awful singer when I was expecting Spoty. BBC had no live sport on Saturday afternoon. Says it all really. There, I have switched it off now.

ive voted for sam smith

Should have the Lazerus award for Tiger

Should Stokes not be in the overseas award or is Christchurch New Zealand now part of the UK

First 15 minutes : a project for s Gay former sportsman, and then lots of talk about WAAAAAAAAYYYYYYCISM.

Only the TRANS category left unticked.

Is this the night when some hairy-a$$ed Rugby League star finally tells us he is actually a maiden aunt called Daisy?

Doddy Weir a legend though?

G Luck  Doddie  4 million raised Top Man ..

Gabby said Gareth must be saddle sore

Missed that

CMON BIG AL

Nice one with Big Doddie

Laid Stokes
Backed Thompson Top 3

3 England cricketers. Not one born in England.

The usual bigots with their homophobic slurs are clearly jealous of Alfie's fantastic career. 100 Wales caps, Lions caps...

How many have you got lads?

Well done Doddie lad.  A former rugby star we can be proud of.

'Bottler of the Year' prize for Konta maybe ?

Can't bring myself to watch,presumably Lineker & co dressed up like a dogs dinner? Can't stand Stokes either.

I haven't seen it for a few years, but they are asking for money
(like a Comedy Relief / Telethon) 

Is this regular now?

Da ****, Hammy?

1st time I have watched in Years , 10 er minimum a bit steep imo

Same here, Case.  what a sh!t selection we have

The sad thing in the day it was a good programme before we came obsessed with gays and our trans friends

Why SPOTY has gone so far downhill

1.2 seconds on darts
1.4 seconds on The Superbowl

11 1/2 minutes lifestyle piece on a runner. (Interviews, jokes, family)

(I'm not really a fan of darts or the Superbowl, but it seems poor)

Good to see the annual Chit Chat SPOTY moanfest is still going.

If Dina Asher Smith wins this, would Odd Shoes Abbott be on the premises to present her with the trophy??

Was about to get annoyed by such a long section on disability sport, then I realised I was watching Aaron Monk in the darts.

Nice to see Blackie get an award

Here we go a big section on lezzers football I see we now have a women commentating on the darts will it ever end

Anti-Trump virtue-signaller given the job to present the section about the Women's Soccer World Cup.

Utterly cringeworthy

The last time I watched this Gazza won.

Domestic cricket got a MASSIVE 5 seconds

They have 2 hours, but cover most major sports in a sentence or less.  The rest of the time is spent handing out 8 (eight) awards, fluff pieces, and disproportionate amounts of time on disability and minority interests; all padded out with "entertainment" from current pop stars and the like.
I've not met a single sports fan who doesn't think it used to be better in days gone by.

Like all your posts, alun2005

The best year was when Red Rum came into the studio during the show.

Did Red Rum get the most votes one year but they wouldn't give it to a horse?

Princess Anne won it though!!

This herbert can give up the game as well.

This guy has chips growing out his head

Would it help employing someone who can get the message over without subtitles?

Cricket Team of the year

Liverpool should surely have won team of the year, European Champions and nearly 100 points in the league?

There's too much tripe on TV. Turn it off and read a good book instead.

Its actually been worse than I ever thought it would be

It always over runs

god they haven't told Dennis the drill.

Couldn't they have a found a place on that stage for Mastermind Lammy, to rail against "White Saviours" as a counterpoint to the Thomas Sport Relief thing?

Can Sterling do a Giggs?

no be stokes

walofs

Abysmal from Law.

they promised Dennis he'd be in the bar by nine poor chap.

Personality?

Looks like the Raheem Sterling red wall vote collapsed

Pass the sick bucket raaaaaaaaallllllllllllllppppppppppppphhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Princess Anne and Hammy's hair were the highlight for me.

Horrible to see Dennis Law like that what a player he was

Dina would have been a proper personality. Of the top three spots, I'd have given her one.

If the six nominees walked down the street I would only recognise Hamilton and sterling and katerina.

It's continuing on BBC Scotland for you diehards out there

Hamilton with that hair do would have been a tough one for me. More likely with his helmet on.

Thomas will not Doubt be Donning a Kilt and Tossing the caber on BBC scotland ..

Well that's over for another year.

I'm 47 years old. When I was 13 years old and for a few years more, it was a highlight at the end of the year before Christmas. Fun and games with some sporting heroes in the London (fairly small) studio. Loved it. Not for me now.

The show is now a 2 hour Virtue-Signal extravaganza and getting more contrived each year.

Thomas and his chariot will go down in the Hall of SPOTY Infamy. Anyone who saw that will discover their buttocks won't unclench until Easter at earliest.

The great British public just confirming how great they really are.
