Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

People who think Scottish people shouldn't be proud of Andy Murray :-p.

This whole nonsense.about Andy Murray being one nationality when he wins and another when he loses. I haven't seen any evidence of this beyond people claiming, with giving specific examples, that it happens.

I always find it slightly perverse that they use the word "personality". Generally top sportsmen have fairly well developed sociopathic disorders and are therefore at worst deeply unpleasant like Tyson Fury* or at best self absorbed and boring like Andy Murray. The sole exception in the current crop seemed to be the truly wonderful Jess Ennis Hill, who should therefore win by default every year....

*Even allowing for the fact that being beaten around the head by a large Ukrainian for the best part of an hour is likely to addle your brains and make you say strange things about God

That people can't understand the word "personality" has two meanings, the second being "a famous person, especially in entertainment or sports".

Those e-passport gates, or more specifically the absolute fucknuts who seem to be unable to use them, i.e. almost everyone. It's not fcuking diffcult - have your passport open at the right page, slide it into the machine face down and stand on the feet and look at the screen. It takes 5, 10 seconds tops. Unfortunately about 95% of the human population are utter fucktards who seemingly struggle with tying their shoelaces, let alone interface with with a very simple piece of machinery.

SPOTY's gradual evolution from the 'Sports Review of the Year' which was a bloody good review of sporting highlights, an amusing interlude (like Frank Bruno playing golf) and an incidental award doled out at the end, to something now desperately trying to ape the Oscars.

Sportspeople don't make good luvvies!
