I’m betting that will mean more ;-)

There will be outrage in dipperland as he had to come across to Media City for it rather than the Beeb award it to him in the centre circle at Anfield on a "magical night" under the flood lights

Have I missed something with the rag goalie winning the award?

Wasn't she having a hissy fit a few weeks ago about Nike not making her replica goalie tops?

Have they give it her because she saved a penalty in the final?

I'm actually speechless.

Jesus - Dettori has lived in the UK riding winners since the late 80's - I'd say that the MAJORITY of his career not just a single season

With respect, and I’m not particularly arsed about it as I’m off to bed in a minute, but the rules - even with the new amendment which I’ll admit I wasn’t aware of - don’t appear to say anything about the majority of a career.

It’s just where they play now and whether the majority of achievements during the year in question occurred in the UK or not. The 10-year residence issue is new for this year and to me it’s contrived, particularly given that a sport person’s career often doesn’t last ten years, and the fact that it doesn’t take ten years to secure UK citizenship.

It’s probably to make sure a British sportsperson wins the award. Like they always have done.

Good job Detorri didn’t win it then isn’t it.

I guess. I probably wouldn’t have cared though.

Genuine question, what's Earps won it for? What are her achievements this year to warrant the win? Is it purely getting to the women's world cup final? I'm not having thats the best sporting achievement this year.

errr- what I said - he has only been here a year - The recipient must either be British or reside and play a significant amount of their sport in the United Kingdom

He’s British if he chooses to be.
