Worst Sporting moment of 2006

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Having to spend a day with Tom Hark, Preston Park and The Large One at Brighton races.

Could have been worse. Could have had to spend TWO days with Trigger and The Large One at Brighton races

Like that wont happen next year with John Smiths Brighton Mile & Ladies Day on consecutive days.

Stoke at home - the worst ever display

Sheffield Wednesday game for me was the absolute pits.

I have never come away from a football match feeling so deflated as that one.

Our performances in the Winter Olympics, especially those Scottish "women" who chucked that brick and brushed the floor, so much hype, so much shite.

In fact, I think this may go down as one of the worst years in living memeory for British sport.

It is the worst year in *my* living memory, that is for sure.

Sports personality of the year - a 3 day eventing world champion
Team of the year runner up - the Ryder Cup team



You really couldn't make it up.

On a serious note, the worst moment of 2006 for me was McGhee's sacking. Off the pitch sports wise it was the realisation that prescott had ballsed up in the falmer enquiry and it was goint to be re-opened.

Yes it's truly been a wankingly POO sporting year. I'd say that I can't think of a worse year in my 35 years. Even team of the year in the BBC Sports Personality went to a team in a sport that only a fraction of the country gives a toss about.

What won it then? I though the Ryder Cup team did but from your post it looks like the nothern egg chasers did.

The egg chasers.

Well the football team earned a very creditable draw at home to Macedonia. I thought that was a very positive result.

I know and just to think, if we would have won the world cup we would have been world champions (or as good as) in all our 3 most popular sports.

Ashes holders
Rugby world Champs
Football world champs.

Only 6 months on and now we must rank on present form as whipping boys in at least 2 of those sports.

Has to be the Ashes. In Rugby Union we were shit in 2005 so this year is no worse. Rugby League, well they did actually manage to win a game this year so they weren't quite as crap as usual. Football was only a slight disappointment. Admittedly we under-achieved a bit at the World Cup but as under Sven we punched above our weight for so long I think expectations were a bit too high. Normal English service and standards (i.e. struggling to qualify) have now been resumed under McCrapen

I know we were already down by the Stoke home game, and the result didn't alter things one bit.

But it PISSED me off like no other game last season. Yes, we were relegated, yes, the players were undoubtedly more interested in their summer holidays, but the fans still bothered to put in the effort and turn up, and it would have been a decent gesture if the playing staff could have been arsed to do the same.

I could deal with losing, no problem (probably expected it anyway), but that performance was useless, lazy, spineless, apathetic and frankly insulting to every single paying spectator in the ground.

I felt really let down and angry after that match, and plenty of other fans around me felt the same. Totally irrational given the season was already decided, but we all pay over £450 a season for the privilege of watching the Albion, and the least the fans are entitled to expect is a bit of effort, from the first game to the last. Not to see the players (and the manager, to be fair) taking the piss and showing exactly what it meant to them to go down, ie chuff all.

Mark McGhee getting the sack and getting a kids coach and TV repairman instead.
No wonder we are RELEGATION bound

now that made me laugh
