Have caught both Golightly and Lose in the last two days discussing the Halbergs. Embarassing how they fap over and over about sporting codes they have interest in and pretty much brush over the All Whites performances.
I'm not normally one for these conspiracies but in this case it's just lolworthy.

I've been listening a little bit to Scoreboard too and I've found that a lot of callers ring in with the line "The All Whites didn't win anything...", which I found just as infuriating.
NZ were written off before the World Cup and were expected to be its laughing stock. Remember L'Equipe coming up with something like "if they score a goal, the scorer should get a statue erected, if they get a draw they should be regarded as heroes"....and France ended up being the rabble.
Without bashing the Silver Ferns/Kiwis/ABs or trying to neglect their own performances, they were 'expected' to perform to the level they achieved this year. The AWs surely exceeded any reasonable expectations.
I'd vote for Winston's goal being the Sporting Moment of the year - it captured the nation more than any of those other moments (as good as they were).

I'll be annoyed if Rugby wins. The all blacks always win everything, whereas this is the first WC the all whites have been in since 82'. Thats so much more of a sporting achievement for NZ sport in general, not just football.

I'm gonna come back on and say I couldn't give a toss who wins.

Mate, Lose is so far up his own asshole, that his adams apple is his head. Seriously, after the Bahrain game, Lose's anger was palpable, as he was forced to acknowledge the All Whites, all the while questioning "What it meant to be a NZer" [i.e., basically, you've got to play rugby] and whether Ricki's swearing on national TV was acceptable!
Thankfully, I've only listened to him once since. This was during the World Cup. Again, a man torn between his rugby loyalties, the unwelcome intrusion of the All Whites on NZ culture, and of course, soccer violence [he's only ever been to one game of football - in Italy - which he "feared for his life"]...
I bet Lose picked on the fat kids at school.

Well, we are world champions in it, just because it always wins isn't a good enoughreason not to give it to them
I'm with the All Whites for this year, but not Herbert for coach of the year

Herbert would have to have a strong chance of Coach of the year....all the other coaches have done OK but none of them coached a team that achieved on the global stage.
League, Netball and Rugby are not global sports. Herbert took a team of nobodies to the biggest sporting event on the planet and they mega overachieved. that truely was a great coaching achievement.
NZ has the best rugby players in the world. Any provincial coach could have stepped in for Henry andthey would still win most of their games.....its no great achievement coaching a team full of mega stars to victory.
I expect football to make a clean sweep(except the sportswoman)......it would be a major jackup if they didn't

This (in regards to ricki)
It's for that reason that I think herbert has a better shot at coach of the year than the all whites do at team of the year.

The Kiwis can't win moment of the year because of the widely forward pass they did before the try.

I voted for Fien. Watching the Aussies face as they got shafted by the Kiwis once again was a classic moment.
They should have one of them when Nelsen is schooling Chiellini on the ground!

Since when have the Halbergs been about Global sporting achievements.So what if Rugby or League arnt global.Its about NZ sporting achievements,and sadly it seems as much about their relevance to NZ as it is about their global importance. League, Netball and Rugby are not global sports. Herbert took a team of nobodies to the biggest sporting event on the planet and they mega overachieved. that truely was a great coaching achievement.

As much as i love my football its very blinkered thinking to expect them to make a clean sweep.To be nominated by our egg chasing dominated media is a bonus,a win in any category would be a double whammy.

He certainly does have a strong case, and I'd agree if we were only looking at the All Whites performance. The thing for me is that the job he does 90% of the time is with the Phoenix. After getting one game away from the grand final we were supposed to be genuine contenders for the 2010/2011 season. We've been horribly inconsistent. We're struggling to make it into the top 6, who knows if we will, we've got a terrible away record. He has to take a lot of the blame for that. So it will leave a hollow feeling if come 10th of Feb, he wins coach of the year and the Phoenix's season is virtually over. Obviously hope I'm wrong.

gee that guy got his knickers in a knot. It's a fairly tongue-in-cheek claim the 'unbeaten' thing...a triumph to get there. Compare it to the confederations cup results and it is outstanding. The build up as well needs to be looked at- some fantastic results there...

Keep on voting. Yeppers it will be a disgrace if the sports moment is freakin netball over Reid.
Permalink

Why? If Netball or whoever wins, it will be because they gained the most votes. So then they deserve this award don't they?
Permalink

Netball is obviously not going to win because in reality they have hardly any fans. As far as I can see they get way more media coverage compared to the amount of people who actually follow them.
Reid's goal clearly deserves the moment of the year as it was actually the most surprising moment which would have been celebrated very wildly. It will win too because I doubt that rugby fans or league fans will mobilize themselves in the same way. I would not expect soccer to sweep the awards though. Sports person goes to0 an individual sport normally and I don't actually think Herbert is a brilliant coach.

Netball has plenty of fans in nz. Nearly all of them being women,but it is most Definetly the most popular sport for women.
So a bit odd to day it has no fans in nz. Is it s global sport - not even close.
