View Full Version : Sports Personality - Sunday 16th December 2018
I think Gareth Southgate will win the Coach of the Year. Geraint Thomas must be one of the favourites to win it, at the moment.

at the moment... unless Andy wins the US Open. :superman: ;)
I think Dina Asher-Smith will get nominated and make the short list.

She certainly should! Adam Peaty is bound to be there too.
I've got Geriant Thomas, Dina Asher-Smith and Adam Peaty on my shortlist. I know the BBC will probably include Harry Kane on their shortlist.
Cornucpia Events are offering eye watering prices for their tickets to this year's Sports Personality, which they're claiming is on the 16th December at the Echo Arena in Liverpool. I found this a bit strange, as the BBC are still yet to announce a venue.

Certainly has a good case, also Justin Rose as No. 1 golfer
Honestly though, if it is, it shouldn't be for this year as for apart from the odd innings, he has been generally ordinary. A Lifetime Achievement Award, on the other hand, would be well deserved IMO.
The Genting Arena in Birmingham has been chosen as the venue for the 16th December. The BBC have gone with them revealing the nominations on the night. Also, there will be two new awards: Greatest Sporting Moment of the Year and World Sport Star of the Year.

That could be the Ryder Cup win and Francesco Molinari
I've received an email from the BBC saying the tickets go on sale at 9am next Friday. Prices will start at £45 and will include a fee and 80p facility fee plus a £2.55 fulfillment fee per transaction. According to them, the Genting Arena will be changing its name to Resorts World Arena.

Good to see Jack Draper included, not convinced with the new method for the main award though.
Kare Adenegan, Freya Anderson and James Bowen have made the shortlist: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/sports-personality/45908898
George Ezra, Paloma Faith, The Lightning Seeds and Freya Ridings will be performing during the evening.

Whilst I am happy to see Jack's name on the list, it's rubbish that Emma's isn't. She's done the same at the same age, only she hasn't got a famous dad.

Who????? never heard of any of them!!!!

......... and she's female!
......... and she's female!
I did think that, but there are other girls on the list, so thought it was just me being over sensative.
The BBC is the most PC organisation on the planet, so I doubt it's that... :pirate:
I wouldn't be surprised about Tyson Fury getting nominated after his boxing match, earlier today.

1. Netball Ladies, 2, Alistair Cook, 3, Tiger Woods, 4 England Football, 5 Tyson Fury.
Only the British could think that winning a World Cup Quarter Final is the sporting moment of the year !
Tyson Fury nominated for standing up. !!
You say British, I say English... Apart from Tiger it's a very Anglocentric list.

They could have had Geraint Thomas winning the Tour de France.

How about the GB Ice Hockey team qualifying for Pool A (the top division) for the first time.
I'd go for Ayr United being top of the league, but I'm not totally surprised that it isn't on the list.

I wouldn't bother opening an account with Ladbrokes just yet. However, this gets my vote

Speculation a while ago that there would be far fewer nominees, not sure it's great having only 6 though.
I would like more too. However it is good that there is only one nominee for a sport. It dilutes the votes when there are 2.
I was really pleased to see Billy Jean King take the Lifetime Achievement Award and thanks to Andy for his input to the show!
They had a very short piece about Kyle. They wished Kyle and Andy good luck for 2019 on the show.
Well done to Geraint Thomas :clap:
I had it on the TV, while Inverdale droned on on radio five live. He seemed to be very concerned about Andy and if he would get over the operation and win more Grand Slams. Steve Bounce reckoned next year's winner would be the winner of the Fury vs Joshua fight. The loser would be the runner up.

If this year anything to go by there will likely only be one nominee per sport. Congratualtions Geraint Thomas, Billie Jean king and all the winners :clap::clap: Seems the BBC will now not be revealing the voting numbers, so much for transparency https://www.prolificnorth.co.uk/news/broadcasting/2018/12/bbc-keeps-voting-numbers-secret-spoty
