    Its that moment no one has been waiting for.... mostly because we can see who the winners are already.
    But awards need a ceremony, so without further-a-do....

    The Winners are .....

    Best Stats Nerd - @Stargazer (for all things sugby stuff)
    Best Sauce - @bayimports

    Sporties - Favourite Cricket player of the year.

    Favourite Sportsman/woman (Non Rugby/Cricket)
    Lisa Carrington

    Favourite Sporting Moment of the Year (Non Rugby/Cricket)
    Lisa Carrington winning 3 Golds at the Olympics

    Favourite Rugby Player of the Year
    Lisa.... Samisoni Taukei'aho

    Most Improved Rugby Player
    Samisoni Taukei'aho

    Favourite Rugby Game of the year.
    A Tie, All Blacks vs France and Jordie kicking the winner vs Boks at Townsville.

    Well there you have it, a big congrats to all the winners (not @RoninWC, clearly proving quantity over quality wins every time.)
    @Stargazer you can tell everyone you have something in common with Lisa Carrington and Samisoni Taukei'aho, you are all 2 time winners of a Fernie/Sportie....

    A big thanks to @Duluth for allowing this to happen again this year after a false start earlier in the year. Its been a tough year again for most of us here, the Fernies were an attempt to add some cheer and laughs, often at my expense.
    Happy the 2nd time round made it to the end even though it didnt go as originally planned.
    ..kinda hoping to bring back the glory days of past Fernies....there was at least one of you that was a fan...

    Anyway my small moment of power has come to an end, thanks again to @Duluth and the other Mods for humoring me and for their input...though i cant believe they actually made @MajorRage a mod.

    Congrats again to the winners (not @RoninWC )
    @MN5 maybe you need to double up on your double ups to have some chance of winning next year..

    Lets all hope 2022 will be a better year, a possible return to some sort normalcy.
    @Barchen
    A year of less pandemic shit, better times with work and family and where friendships can survive or maybe begin again..

    No apologies for how weirdo this is going to turn out.

    Merry fucking Xmas...

    Can one of the mods be kind enough to pin this please, you can unpin the other threads..ta

    nice little distraction Virg well done

    hey i won one!!

    be churlish of me to not acknowledge those i beat, so, to whoever else was nominated

    also, i say this every time. Now that we have this whole sub-category, we should have a thread for 2022 nominations. Post and thread of the year, as well as the gifs and memes (and hottie?) will be way better if we can nominate as we go

    Most level headed... I guess that means that everybody else was reading/posting drunk whenever I ventured into live cricket or rugby match posting πŸ™‚

    If it's any consolation I think that I just won an award for not posting.

    Not quite sure how to take that...

    @Donsteppa Yes.

    Have a good Christmas guys. I might be back a bit more next year but I do better in awards if I'm not here so will have to see.

    Cheers Virgil. Good job well done.

    The mainstream award ceremonies will be proud of you from an inclusion point of view. You've covered Māori, Pasifika, women and cross dressers.

    Great effort Virgil and thank you, I can feel the love you are sending my way.

    I'd also like to thank the FB Groups I scoured for memes.

    One for the road...

    Closer to 15 once @Virgil has run a spelling and grammar check.

    I view it as a compliment that @Virgil holds this point of view.

    More a self deprecating comment on who gets nominated as a mod and disbelief thereof ...
