In other words it's boring...

 

Its boring to someone that doesn't like motorsport - its boring to those that do like motorsport but they still watch it because its considered the pinacle of motorsport for good or bad.

I have never and will never watch a game a football. Bores me to tears.

I'd rather watch a game of rugby than football and even then I don't have much choice - down the pub, live in wales etc.

 

Mark Cavendish should have won,
He won 6 stages of the tour de france, won the Milan-San Remo at his 1st attempt.
Then again cycling is not a main stream sport so he was never going to win.

 

Another sport which nobody takes seriously due to the participants drug use.

 

As a petrolhead I'd liked to have seen Brawn or Button pick up something. All the same its been a fairy tale year so I'm not complaining.

I can't abide football either, so forgive my ignorance if I'm missing something, but shouldn't the winner really have had some international success?

 

I like motorsport. Used to love F1. Over the years I've perceived watching it until now I will watch it if nothing else is on but in the main I find it a total bore of a sport to view. I appreciate the technology at work and the skill involved but as a spectacle for the viewer it in the main fails to deliver.

 

Does anyone remember who won it last year then? Chris Hoy.

Hardly Mr Personality is he?

Come to think of it nor is Giggs. I just checked his current world ranking as a player. He stands at #171.

Last time I looked, Button was at #1.

Sure Giggs had a reasonable season (and used to own a 22B), but if that wasn't an extra "life-time achievement" award, then I'm Tiger Woods.

 

Maybe if he'd won the Tour de France, and not just 6 stages.

Bit like saying give the SPOTY to Hamilton. He won a couple races.......

 

I have to say I was just as staggered as Giggs was himself when the winner was announced.

I've heard of the achievements of most of the others in the running, albeit in passing, whereas I had no idea Giggs had a good/interesting/record breaking/whatever season.

Whilst it is remarkable what he's achieved (which I only know from this thread), I'm still non-plussed as to why he's won. Anyone who doesn't follow football probably hasn't heard of him this year (let alone other years). I doubt many people in the country haven't heard what Button achieved this year.

I knew there were a ridiculous number of Man Utd fans outside of Manchester, but this win for Giggs seems to confirm half the country support Man Utd.

So, Mr Football Mad Southerner, what first attracted you to the richest and most successful football club in history...

 

And football is squeaky clean, of course.

Never been drug use, match fixing, fighting on and off the park, driving bans for drunk driving/killing people, and generally being overpaid illiterate ******* then??

LOL

 

ai but that's all seen as a necessity to be a footballer player

 

Sorry nothing like that.
To win 6 stages in 1 race is a great feat, ranks among the best performances ever.

 

Well if that what you feel then you are not forced to watch or even read about it of course!

I will always watch it since the whole race is of interest in every respect including team strategies etc. The only thing that worries me next year is the ban on refuelling. I think that could remove a lot of interest from the racing.

In the case of Schumacher you did in 1994 and 1995 - he won the championship in it.

 

Your taking the mick now.

They didn't design the car - Honda did that
They didn't make the car - Honda did that too funny enough


So they designed and made some new parts - wow indeed

 

All but in a name. The same people whether call Honda or Brawn designed, manufactured, tested, and raced that car.

And yes, Wow. They beat the main contenders out of nowhere. It was meant to be BMW's year. Last year they were the best of the rest. Spent Millions on Fluid Dynamic software that was meant to design the fastest car on the grid. But they got it wrong. And for their mistakes, the BMW board pulled the plug.

 

Yes - the same people did all the work, I'll accept that.

However all this was done over a period of years FFS with millions spent in the process
Then honda sell up to Brawn

Infact thinking about it wasn't Honda formed from BAR?
If so then Honda didn't design the car either

I'll look that up later on.
So Brawn managed to make a few bits and pieces and get a remarkable jump on the rest of the field initially

 

My god, you really are stupid. Though you were joking at first.

Guess not.

 

Really?
