I would be delighted if Mo Farah were to win it.
Young sports personality of the year I would like to see go to Amy Tinkler Team, changed my mind think GB women's hockey team Coach, Danny Kerry (GB women's hockey team) Overseas, Michael Phelps Lifetime Achievement, Would like it to go to Steve Davis. But there is potential competition from the following Bradley Wiggins Kate Richardson Walsh Nick Skelton No idea how lifetime achievement is adjudicated but if Beckham has won it in a previous year then surely Davis would deserve it I think Chris Coleman will win the coach award otherwise it would be all about the Olympics and ignoring the Euros |

No he wasn't. He argued with all and sundry, in an Ali tribute thread, that The Rock was a much greater sportsman. Unless you obviously thought the whole thread was a joke ?
I wasn't a member when Ali died so I don't know what happened there suffice to say its an idiotic argument to claim that The Rock was a greater sportsman. That doesn't mean batdudes sporting knowledge is nil, your sweeping statement is almost as bad as his argument and frankly its poor form to bring other threads into your argument anyway. |

His "bar" thing was the joke, so even if its a really bad joke at least its a stab at humour which you've overreacted to.

I know you stick up for batdude, in a post on the Man Utd thread you called him "one of the best posters on here". That is your opinion, and not one I share but you are entitled to it. If my posts pee you off so much I suggest you do to me what I am going to do to you. Hit the ignore button. |

Can we get back to discussing who we would like to see win the awards at Sports Personality
![]() The coach one is a very tough one to call. I had forgotten about Eddie Jones and of course Ranieri is in the frame too but I will stick my neck out and say Chris Coleman will get it. Overseas - Phelps for me. Outstanding achievement this year Lifetime - Well I like your shout for Steve Davis. Although not the greatest or most successful player ever, he is certainly the most influential and greatest role model in snooker. |

Who I would like to win, and who I think win, could be two different people. I would like Mo to get the credit he finally deserves but I do think it will be Andy Murray, not that I would begrudge him it.

Davis, IMO is the greatest snooker player of all time, but that is a different debate. Really hope he gets lifetime achievement. It would be deserved |

![]() Didn't think someone would get all defensive and jump all over another poster over what was basically a joke. |

Have you forgotten about Lewis Hamilton or have you deliberately left him off the list ?
Anyway he would not win, so there is no point having on the list Heys guys who would you replace on the shortlist, so we could have Alistair Brownlee on there |

I am entitled to my opinion, that is what a public forum is about. And, my opinion, is that somebody who makes an idiotic ( your word ) argument that a paid for WWE actor is a greater sportsstar than a 3 time heavyweight boxing champion and civil rights activist, knows nothing about sport.

Maybe I'll see something of yours I disagree with to show that you too know nothing about sport, I'm sure you'd claim I was generalising in the same way you are doing yourself. |

Meanwhile I'm happy to put forward Mo Farah and the young gymnastics girl and would love to see the girls hockey team win team of the year and for Maddie Hinch to make the nominations would be fantastic.
No idea whether any of it will happen, obviously. |

The twelve person shortlist i think will look something like
Mo Farah Andy Murray Nick Skelton Jason Kenny Laura Trott Danny Willett Nicola Adams Max Whitlock Chris Froome Gareth Bale Paralympian 1 Paralympian 2 Just a prediction, but it will be a good close contest this year, and an amazing shortlist as well considering those that could miss out, in my case list being Lewis Hamilton, Adam Peaty, Alistair Brownlee, Charlotte Dujardin, Maro Itoje, Anthony Joshua to name just a few. Im sure my list wont be that accurate but it still goes to show that there will be so many good athletes that will miss out. |

I would like to see Jamie Vardy, but i can see the shortlist being dominated by Olympians Why does it have to be two Paralympians when we have Jonny Peacock Hannah Cockcroft Ellie Simmonds David Weir Richard Whitehead These five could easily do well. So i think it will really tough to do the final shortlist |

Why does Darran insist on making every thread on "Sport" about him?

Only 2 of your 10 named people are women and David Weir will probably take one of your Paralympian slots. I think the BBC will need at least 4 and probably 5 women on a 12 person shortlist to avoid criticism.

So i think it will really tough to do the final shortlist I just added two spaces for Paralympians based on it being difficult to remove others from the shortlist, i just feel that they will not have more than 2 paralympians on the shortlist. |
