He was hardly hounded out. Was on second last, just did himself in with what he had to say on things.

Mines dropped like a stone

Warned you the tabloid vote for Fury wouldn't show up enough. He might have been close to 3rd.

Twitter was mainly chav idiots. Sinfield was a serious campaign. Wonder how close he was? Well played Brush, enjoy :)

Sky couldn't get Fury anywhere near the top either. Sure we'd lose all the swimming, cycling, gymnastics nonesense that the BBC push on us but Sky know which side there bread is buttered on and boxing isn't even close to the top of their agenda. Eight footballers in the 12 nominees, a cricketer, a rugby union public school boy, Andy Murray and a WWE wrestler.

3.5 he was after the Davis Cup victory, are we all kicking ourselves? 1.25 a few weeks later.

I'm p1ssed off laying a bit when he drifted today

laying a bit off that is...peanuts compared to GB mind

Has the geezer honestly just won £30k+ ? Incredible if true!

I layed what little I had on Murray and put it on Fury because of you bunch of numbskulls ramping him

Tom in the soup

Don't we get the figures pretty fast?

Andy Murray wins SPOTY 2015 with 26.9% of the total vote

We wanted to see you cry

GB you were right that first torygraph poll was right...don't know where the Sinfield voters went when it was reset though

You voted Kevin Sinfield as your runner up with 26.4% of the vote

STFU lost by 0.5% OMFG!!!!!

Sinfield won then

so close to 2K

source please all?

is bear trolling?

It's all in bears head

lol you little punk ass bitch

Lol. That would have been hard to take! Hopefully a clear cut win!

bear

26.9% sounded very low for the winner must admit!

...hey might be right though

No 26.9% could be right in a field like this

Marginally low I meant to say, but yeah is possible, feels like Murray got at least 30% to me.

im done with life, see you all in another universe, bye

Don't go Tom

Waiting for full vote but hear Andy Murray clear #SPOTY winner; big vote for Kevin Sinfield. Jess Ennis-Hill just beat Tyson Fury to 3rd

fix

Gutting

Jess

Andy Murray polled 361,446 vote followed by: Kevin Sinfield 278,353, Jessica Ennis-Hill 79,898, Tyson Fury 72,330, Lewis Hamilton 48,379, Chris Froome 39,007, Mo Farah 31,311, Max Whitlock 25,925, Greg Rutherford 23,492, Lizzie Armitstead 22,356, Adam Peaty 13,738, Lucy Bronze 13,236.

the whole night was geared up for the english hater, he couldn't lose. Quite sad really

Cheers Darlo

Wow. Kevin smashed them all but Murray.

Sinfield got DOUBLE the votes of Fury and Ennis COMBINED!!! Unreal. Amazing effort. 278k votes is a superb effort.

Cheers Darlo. No excuses for Fury. Cracking result for Sinfield

Astonishing vote for Sinfield - thought he'd struggle to get 70k

Very high turnout as well

Can't grumble with my Sinfield win bet, amazing effort and he beat Ennis in the without market. We nearly got Ennis out of the top 3 as well.

they really are incredible numbers for Sinfield

Higher than last year but nothing massive. Though the Tyson Fury furore certainly helped plug the programme this year.

Yeah, incredible campaign. If they had got him over the line it would have been mesmeric. It's fair to say outside of the campaign Sinfield would have received very little votes.

sinfield could have been xmas no1

Astounded by Sinfields vote must have been a very well organised campaign, Fury top 3 backers a little unlucky though he had his chances.

Like someone posted if you can do it with dressage you sure as feck can do it with rugby league

1.25 Ennis in the without Murray market looking silly now, she got 25% of Sinfields vote!

i was on here to day talking about the campaign for Sinfield. Amazing effort for all. lots of peeps in yorkshire complaining about busy lines too. Doubt it would have been enough to make up 80k though

really was quietly confident of a good result for Sinfield . Gutted if i'm honest!

Not so silly took a major campaign to beat her tbf

Fury nearly beat her as well, missed by a whisker! Not the best 1/4 shot, nearly beaten by a homophobe sexist and received only 25% of the runners up vote!

Same, thought he might have pulled off the win in the end. Incredible effort, Murray got a huge vote.

I was on the Sinfield train in the o/r early doors then over complicated it with the telegraph poll and laid a bit for t3...had so many bets on so many markets not sure how I finished...up a bit I think as Murray my biggest bet....even found a bet sinfield to be second placed a while back. Fury getting third would have made it worthwhile though.

Would have cost £5043 to get Fury to third.

Unlucky sinfield backers. We nearly did it despite the doubters. Nearly my first 1000 winner, but some consolation with 16/1 forecast and some decent email souvenirs from the spoty shortlist panel baroness Tammi grey etc.

lol Colin!

35.8% Murray...any polls get close? Colin did you post that at the time? I always have a daft fiver/tenner on those usually mug tips.

Actually don't tell me if you did

i underestimated how strong the murray vote would be. I thought his independence views and the fact he's won it before would have had more of an impact. that was my only error, albeit quite a profound one!

He won the Davis Cup...simples   Sinfield had a campaign...more simples

Was 150 after I hoovered up the 1000. Posted at 150 both in this and grand final thread. BTW do you mean mug bets like wiggo at 100s when he won. ;)

Class effort. I smashed on at 15s and nearly collected. Great story for RL and Sinfield.

....I definitely had a couple of daft tenners on some who didn't make the short list....Rooney was one...missed yours or I would have

I got 25/1 just wish I had followed through with place bets and forecasts.....still SPOTY just a diversion for me...a living for others

Torygraph poll five on the trot...may be more but I can't track it back further than 2011

Lot of forumites p1ssed off early...a sure sign of wound licking

If sinfields well organised campaign can get him that many votes then one must conclude that the campaign to get NHS to xmas number 1 could also be equally successful

i'm back and armed with neat jack daniels

great campaign colin, wd

and bad luck, muzza amazingly strong

Murray, a huge boxing fan, defended Fury after the ceremony to reporters, calling his win “an incredible achievement”. “Not everyone obviously has to agree with what he said but I do believe that he has the right to say it. That’s freedom of speech and people have the right to disagree with what he says as well.”

Class.








Did you see what I did there, GB?

yes, i still haven't finished the bottle of jd

been a strange night, was almost crying over love actually ffs

And why not!!! Nothing wrong with a bit of emotion; it is, after all, the driving force behind most of the results in the events we play. 1.01 jr`s feeling similarly (tired and) emotional

Awwww...maybe you won't evict any single parents this Christmas you old softy you

Poor Fury (and me) denied a place because his supporters were too thick to know how to vote. If every "how do you vote"? tweeter had gone to school he'd have been clear third
