[QUOTE="An Tarbh, post: 92581"] Well I think this year's nominees show how poor a year it has been in British sport, no real standout performers and possibly the weakest list of contenders in a long time. So who do you think should win? Jenson Button wins 1 grand prix and gets nominated, even though it took him the longest out of any professional to get a maiden win. Darren Clarke is only nominated due to tragic circumstances, although undefeated at the Ryder Cup he only played 3 matches but is the odds on favourite with the bookies. Andy Murray beats Federer in a final, no mean feat but worthy of nomination for sports personality of the year, same for Monty, he may be the best spin bowler England have but he hasn't taken a mountain of wickets which would possibly merrit nomination. With it being such a poor year for England in football, rugby and cricket then it's not surprising that minority sports are getting a look in, but still they're hardly monumental achievements in their sport, bar Phil Taylor and it's debateable whether darts even is a sport. The boxers are the only 2 in the field that really deserve to be there, so that's where my vote would be most likely to go. [/QUOTE]
