One of the problems is that it doesn’t run both ways. Point out that a decent women’s team would get tonked by a men’s pub team and it’s “ah but you’re comparing different things”. If that’s the case then you can’t compare a record in the mens game with one in the women’s game because they are different things.Sillybilly said:
Absolutely this. I’m a big fan of women’s football but it’s not the same thing. Stop telling me that whomsoever is England’s second stop scorer. She’s not. She’s England women’s top scorer. And a brilliant achievement that is. But stop convoluting two entirely different things for the purpose of being PC.MrOneLung said:Well done Beth
however this shit grinds my gears on the BBC:
Her international goal tally for the 2021-22 campaign was 20 in 19 matches, breaking Jimmy Greaves' long-standing record for the most England goals in one season
stop talking about different things.Who is to say someone in the England over 60’s hasnt scored more in a year and why doesn’t that count?
no one says and well done Florence Griffith Joyner on running the 10,009th quickest 100m ever.0 -
Usain Bolt won life time achievement award, yet if you add up the total time of all his elite races it comes to under an hour. Surely that should be lunchtime achievement award14

I guess it was the wright decision. It had been a major break through for English women's football winning a major international competition for the first time.
Ben Stokes does not like comming 2nd, he should have been a bit more gracious.0 -
Always the most moving part is the montage of those we lost.

The webpage has a much more comprehensive list, including our own Graham Tutt and Phil Walker1 -
Never fucking heard of her.3

I understand why there is a shortlist but does it really have to be just 6 - why not 10? Matt Fitzpatrick wins a Major and gets a nanosecond coverage for doing so. Does the BBC really understand what it takes to achieve that? Of course they do because Raducanu won SPOTY last year for doing just that. So how can they exclude a sports person who has achieved the equivalent from even being voted for?Algarveaddick said:

didn't see it for obvious reasons, but was it a public vote again?0

Embarrassing list of nominees and 100% it was done so the BBC could have 3 men and 3 women making up the final list.
No disrespect to gymnastics but surely 99% of the country had never even heard of Gadirova, so how on earth does her achievement rank above a golfer winning a major? I wouldn't even put it above Leon Edwards winning a UFC world title, but i accept a lot of people won't know him either.
Even Lineker tweeted about Fitzpatrick and he hosted the show!4 -
The strange thing is why the shortlist these days is so short anyway. From memory it used to be 10, which would give coverage for more sports too.1

probably because it had to be announced and shoehorned in the 3 days between the world cup final on saturday to wednesdays showkillerandflash said:The strange thing is why the shortlist these days is so short anyway. From memory it used to be 10, which would give coverage for more sports too.0 -
I've not thought about it, but it would definitely include at least three Charlton players.Algarveaddick said:

I'd struggle to think of three who deserved nominating for Charlton player of the year...PopIcon said:
