BBC sports personality

Just turned over for Sound of Music please keep me updated

Tyson Fury has just been interviewed. There was a very mixed response from the audience. Gary Lineker was interviewing him and Fury towered over him. He is huuuuge.

I'm just watching a lovely piece by John McEnroe about Andy Murray who is the last nominee, so I assume voting will open soon.

I think I'll probably vote for Kevin Sinfield, but I loved the interview with Greg Rutherford - he seemed like fun.

Voted Andy Murray and hope he wins. Would imagine they will win team of the year as well

I voted for Jessica Ennis-Hill. I think her achievement this year is so impressive.

I'd vote for Jess

I'm a massive mo Farah fan but I think she's really earnt it

Voted Lizzie, on DD's orders!

Ds wants to vote for Lucy

Go on Michael Oneill, repping for NI. Great speech!

Hurrah! Delighted for Andy Murray!

Me too! Great guy!

Andy Murray had a so so year and was part of a team!! He has won it before so this is just ridiculous. Better achievement than Mo??? Really ? No but got the Scottish vote.

Yay, so glad Andy won - obviously he got the British vote as he is the outstanding sportsman individually and team-wise

Someone should have told Tyson Fury and his wife that they should smile when the winner was announced. Their expressions were highly amusing.

Indeed 'furious'

The camera lingering on fury and Mrs drugs face was cracking.

Fury not drugs

majestic wondered if you had an inside line there (no pun intended). Gotta love autococonut

Excellent result though we didn't vote, too busy decorating the tree. Yes Murray was part of a team but I doubt the Davis cup would be ours without him. Can't remember what Mo Farrow did this year and haven't forgiven him for not bothering with the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow. Had never heard of Tyson Fury until the tabloid stuff.

Farah

Gutted the women footballers didn't win the team award.

Mo Farah won the 5000 and 10000m at the world championships. This follows him winning 2 gold medals at the London Olympics. What Brit has ever done that before? We actually had someone win the Tour de France for a second time! That was unthinkable until a few years ago. The Davis Cup is determined by what players decide to show up - Switzerland won when both Federer and Stan W turned up. If Murray had actually won a grand slam, I would get it, but he is so far behind Djockovic it is embarrassing. If people on this thread do not know the contenders, then it is somewhat worrying - obviously not sports fans! Now who is A P McCoy?

Sadly the women's football team were third in the World Cup. Not really good enough to win. Win the WC next time and they may stand a chance but the number of people viewing is low and the quality of football is also pretty low - from what I saw - and is littered with mistakes and errors añd not enough creative play. Full marks for trying hard though.

I think you can be a sports fan without being a fan of all sports. I'm more of a sports doer than watcher and am selective about which sports I watch and read about. I agree Chris Froome winning the T de F twice is a great achievement but he's a Kenyan who lives in Monaco and rarely comes to the UK regardless of his passport. I don't see him retiring here.

I think Mo should have won really. His achievements are amazing although I did actually vote for Jessica Ennis-Hill as I think coming back so spectacularly from having a baby was so inspirational.

AP McCoy is a world famous jockey, 20 years as champion jockey so a fine winner of the lifetime achievement award IMO.

Maybe the drug allegations affected Farah and Froome, unfounded but got headlines.

Delighted that Murray won, Jessica Ennis Hill is inspirational too. (Won't embarrass myself by claiming to know anything about rugby league but well done to Sinfield)
