Who do you think the BBC would least want to win it? Yep that's right, so I voted for him. :emoticon-0146-punch
 
I'd love Fury to win. Would be hilarious and would make a change to award it to a bloke who actually has a bloody personality.
 
If you mean Fury, it would be the person most decent people would least like to win, I would say.

I'm fairly sure most boxing fans have voted for him, are they not decent people? Given that it's called sports personality of the year then Fury is the sportsman with the biggest personality of those nominated.
 
Murray's come a long way from the pillock he was in 2006 wearing the Paraguay shirt when they played England. He's undoubtedly our greatest ever tennis player...
 
dont believe public voted this result. Don't trust bbc any more and haven't done for some time. Poor result.
 
There was pressure for them to do so, but they rightly refused.

I agree also. But I think they didn't remove him because he's a member of the 'travelling community.' If it was John Terry ( rightly so ) or anyone else not considered a minority they would've been gone. There's probably been a lot of tears shed and a gnarling of knuckles over the irony of the beeb's situation.
 
We'll never know but the cynic in me says Murray is just a safe choice by the BBC and perhaps didn't get the most votes at all. He also competes in one of the few sports still covered by the BBC.
