eranail Posted August 9, 2023 Share Posted August 9, 2023 Just a bit for fun before anyone loses their s***. Given there is no outstanding candiate then surely the gaffer is in with a chance? I reckon if every member of the travel club voted for him he'd be in with a shout! He's not even listed by McBookie so big odds!

Scots_Wha_Hae Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 Why does anyone even care about this nonsense - I haven't watched it I would guess since the 90s. It used to be simple; a programme where we got to watch all the best sporting highlights of the year in which awards were given as a kind of afterthought - a reason for the format to work really. Now all the athletes have to pretend like they care about an award from the BBC - aye, I'm sure the World Cup winning / World Champion athlete that spent 20+ years training to win the thing they've just won really cares about a gong from a TV channel. It's pointless. And don't get me started on the dull as fuck argument every year about who can't win because they don't have enough personality. Jesus suffering.

Hertsscot Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 England women won the netball recently so they should be short listed. We should really just have a Scottish equivalent as SPOTY, just like the rest of the BBC has just become more and more Anglocentric down the years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whoever I was replying to said it was becoming more ‘Anglocentric’.  If anything it used to be more biased towards the English and it’s going the other way. Having said that I think the last 3 or 4 winners have been English so maybe it is going back to being that way.  Thanks for your rather unpleasant contribution though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really wouldn’t care if an English person won it for the next 100 years.   Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just made an observation about how you chose your cut off dates for your statistical analysis. Like yourself, I have very little interest in SPOTY, but I do have some interest in how numbers can be manipulated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like yourself, I have very little interest in SPOTY, but I do have some interest in how numbers can be manipulated. I wasn’t being 100% serious mate but I was referring to you accusing me of manipulating the figures to suit an agenda that I don’t have after you misunderstood the point I was trying to make. It wasn’t even my cut off it was just a stat I head heard and was repeating to explain why I didn’t think it was becoming more biased towards the English in recent years. SPOTY clearly is biased towards the English overall mainly because there are more English sportsmen and women than from the other home nations and the vast majority of people who vote are English. It’s not a recent thing though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
