watched about 30 mins of this smarmy event..heard ryan giggs won it fair enough,he`s a decent lad,but some of it was cringe worthy....talk about licking

Not just me then...it really was a poorly presented programme. Seriously, some of the sports mentioned were so minority it is a joke, but i guess the Beeb pay for/show them, so it makes sense, right?

At least we got a mention

Load of crock!



Rugby league got 30 secs only scanned through it on iplayer so correct me if I'm wrong!

I would have thought by definition you would need a personality to win this award?



I guess it's the BBC pandering to Ferguson so that he'll agree to be interviewed by them again.

Linekar's Tiger Woods wise cracks were cringeworthy too, although at least we got 5 seconds more coverage than Wigan & Saints he he

RL got 41 seconds worth of airtime.



Abysmal.

I rang up 20 times to get Giggs voted off the show, think I misunderstood how it works.

looks like you were not the only one mate

What has Giggs achieved? Deciding he was Welsh was his first mistake. If he had ambition to play World Cup football he would have plumped for England, his country of birth. "personality"? I think not.

I use to really look forward to Sports Personality of the year so that I could watch all the best bits of sport from the year. But now BBC has so little live sport, it isn't worth watching

The award has got nothing to do with personality (although from people I know who have met Giggs, they have all said what a decent bloke he is), it's more of a Sportsperson of the year.



If the BBC were pandering to Ferguson surely they would have give him coach of the year. After all he only won the World Club Championship, Premier League, League Cup and got to the final of the European Cup. In fact he was only one game away from playing in every fixture that a club can possibly play in during the season.

Oh dear. I guess you're right he's achieved nothing





By the way he was born in Wales and isn't eligible to play for England.

I thought Giggs winning it was quite imaginative. He has certainly contributed a lot to football and he surpassed Bobby Charlton's games for MUFC didn't he last year?
