What's Happening To The Bbc Sportsman Of The Year

[DTCwordfan]

It's being held in a flea-pit in comparison to previous years and, as such, very muted in nature...Have they run out of dosh in paying for the likes of Gary Lineker?

Well the better for it. It went a bit mad gut a while. As always the list of the dead sports stars included people I didn't know had died: John Nuttall. 
And well done to Mary Earps

what was Mary wearing - may as well not had the skirt on at all - virtually all visible! Dreadful and not one to save, excuse the pun.

[ichkeria]

Yep I just said the same thing!

She definitely looks better in her goalie kit.

I only caught the end and was very pleased with the SPOTY. 

But she could have worn more than lingerie (jealous because I'd look like a whale in a net).

Why@earps? I thought it was Grayson Perry. 😮

The last time I watched this event the late George Best (rip) failed to turn up or was drunk or both. "Bestie" always a great judge and I often wonder  what he would have thought of "Sir Gary" ?

I thought it was a good show. 

Alex Scott's dress was marginally worse than Earps's. 

Good to see Mary's achievements acknowledged by the public, and for women to have as much a part of it all as men.

Net of the back ...

I was wondering if they were going to overrun the time. I think Gabby must have had someone in her ear telling her to shut them up at times. It felt a bit awkward. 

Des Smith and Fatima Whitbread are doing great work, so I'm glad they did get a chance to speak for a while.

Top work at 22:23. ☺

[Ellipsis]

Thanks, Douglas, that's high praise indeed ...

She would have looked better in her black frock if she didn't have her knickers showing.  A thong or going *commando would have been better.

* do girls get to be commandos these days?

It became Sports Personality of the Year.

Apparently that 'rig-up' - can hardly call it a dress - cost £1460, from a London based designer, Kamo - according to the DT.

Kamo? I can see her, plain as day!
