I found the SPOTY results completely bonkers!

Let's be honest, how many people actually like Andy Murray (outside of Scotland)?
How many people have even heard of Kevin Sinfield?

Being the most successful F1 British driver in history gets less than 8% of votes?

Sorry, but the whole SPOTY stinks. Another reason to get rid of the BBC, it just churns out rubbish, at the licence payer's expense.

Rant over.

I do agree with you, he has done a lot for British Tennis, my point is most people vote for people they like, not necessarily the one's who have achieved the most success for their sport.

I simply cannot believe that around 1 in 3 people who voted voted for him?

[dantis]

Okay I don't pay, but I didn't watch it or vote, I feel sorry for the people who do pay though.

 

[Rumpelstiltskin.]

So if you didnt watch or vote why are you bothered lol

 

[dantis]

I was just surprised that Murray won, more shocked actually. I never watched it as I was watching Málaga thrash Atlético Madrid 1-0!!

[srgberian]

cause i said Murray was Scottish ....he is and he wants to remain that way,he voted for an independent Scotland away from the Uk.He doesn't like being classed as British and tbh he doesn't like the English either .Remember his quote anyone but England?
