Jump to: Newest in thread
Beth Mead or Ben Stokes..they have both won a major tournament. Ben Stokes has had arguably the more successful year.
I hope the Ladies football team and the cricketers pick up a lot of awards.
Congrats to all nominees. |

"Beth Mead should win it but probably the unknown foreigner will tick a box
Do unknown foreigners often win this award?

Do you think people think they're being clever when they try and hide their racism behind words? |

Not racist at all.Have you heard of Jessica Gadirova? Azerbaijani parents, born in Ireland. I had to look her up so unknown to me and born overseas to foreign parents which is pretty much the definition of a foreigner. |

Yeah I've heard of the Gadirova twins, watched them on TV about 4 years ago now it seems. I'm not even into gymnastics.
They represent GB and England.
The UK is full of sports stars not born in the UK but who have chosen to represent us and go through all that training to win for us along with the sacrifice they need to make |

"The lady who managed Beth Mead is foreign.
She's amazing aswell, even if I can't remember her name right now "
Don’t worry… sarina will win coach of the year….. team of the year should be interesting between the lionesses and the England T20 World Cup winners
Anyway… top 3 tonight should be 3, Eve muirhead 2, Ben stokes and 1 Beth mead |

Sarina Veagmann? Without googling.
Credit to the ladies footballers and cricketers, they play their sport smiling having fun. It's refreshing.

You do know people travel and move around the world? And kids tend to go where their parents go? |

My take on this.
It really should be someone who has performed at their peak of their sport.
For most sports that would be Olympic gold. Not so for Football, Boxing, Cricket, Tennis and Golf.
Winning a World Cup (even in Cricket) is the pinnacle of the sport.
Winning the Euros isn’t. However, what that win has done for Women’s football brings it up there.
My thoughts would be
3. Women’s Football
2. Men’s Cricket Winners
1. Eve Muirhead because of her Olympic Gold and as she is retiring. |

Agreed. Stokesy has changed Test cricket, and played a major part in the iT20 WC |

Donated a lot of money to the flood relief fund in Pakistan aswell.
Along with helping take cricket back to Pakistan after such a long lay off due to safety |

Harry Kane just so that we can still talk about 1966 and to also stop the press from going on and on about winning the WC 6 months after the final.
Can you imagine the coverage on the news,papers and Morning shows if we did win?
Holly and Phillip would be at the final lifting the Trophy. |

No one cares about curling.
The England win in the Euros was a true team effort.
Ronnie O'Sullivan is really quite boring now.
No idea who Jake Wightman is.
So Stokes or Gadirova for me, probably Stokes as he is actually an interesting character. |

I reckon it'll be a woman though. The BBC have suddenly woken up to womens sport and having a hard push on it.surprised Laura muir or keely hodgkinson hasn't had a mention. Or the men's relay team.
Worth remembering it was only 5 years ago bbc were cheer leading Stokes to be hung drawn and quartered for kicking the crap out of a couple of homophobes beating up another guy... Though of course that's not how it was reported. |

Yeah they completely ignore MMA which is a global sport and has a massive fan base. Leon Edwards won the welterweight title against the p4p fighter in that weight class. Brendan Loughrane won the PFL Grand Prix, world title and $1m. Never mind nominated I doubt either will get mentioned because the BBC doesn’t cover MMA |

Arnold Allen’s had a great year. I would love to see him nominated. Personality has nothing to do with it though should be based purely on achievements |

"I’d honestly rather Phil Foden was there over Beth Mead. He won the premier league and was an instrumental part of that City team. There’s levels to sport and this is a much higher achievement "
Have you been on the pop or are you pulling our legs with this!
He's bang average at best & as for instrumental - if he never played for them again they wouldn't miss him, I mean just 20 odd prem appearances last year (including those coming on as a sub) is hardly instrumental - more handy utility forward... |

The premier league is more important than the European Championship? Or mens football more important than women's football? |

The premier league is currently a much a higher level than the women’s game |

Jake Wightman is a middle distance runner. He won the World Championship gold for 800m, the first for a British male athlete since 1984 (Seb Coe). It's a pretty decent achievement. |

How do you work that out? How can the domestic league be more important than a European Championship? |

The BBC struck gold with women’s football, there’s genuine interest in it which is great, it’s evolving all the time, it’s fun. But don’t get it twisted it’s currently a much lower level than the top end of the men’s game

I've been out so didn't see the show, seen the results though. No complaints for me.
The England ladies football team winning The Euros put an extra thousand bums on seats in Welsh ladies football, not only have they inspired their country, they have inspired young girls in someone else's too. Quite an achievement that. Possibly the same in Scotland too. Well done The Lionesses
The thought of a female footballer winning this only a decade ago would of been unheard of. Well done Beth Mead.
You never hear a bad word about any of these ladies and they deserve every bit of praise including the manager |
