I was listening to talksport this morning on the drive to work and Alan Brazil was having a go at Murray, telling him to 'man up' - I find that an absolutely disgusting response, as a radio presenter who broadcasts to an audience largely consisting of males should know to be more careful. We already live in a society where men are scared of showing emotions and talking about mental health. At the same time, talksport is owned by The S*n, so I shouldn't be surprised in the ****ishness on show.

I heard that too, and at least Brazil was challenged, but referring back to the mental health thread just the fact that Brazil said it like he did will not help anyone listening that is already struggling. :emoticon-0121-angry

Such a shame for it to end like this, he should be in the prime of his career right now but his body has failed on him.

The greatest player to come from these shores, at least in the Open Era. He would've dominated had he not been around during the same time as Federer/Nadal.



Looking the toxic wasteland that is social media, some people are criticising him for being upset, suggesting he has no reason to be upset due to how much money he has, as if that makes up for the fact you can no longer do the thing you a) love, and b) have done your entire life, regardless of finance.

Blubs when he loses, blubs when he wiins and now blubs when he retires.

Tbh, it was always on the cards given his major hip problems, and he must have suspected every day for the last 18 months ago it would end like this. And it has.

He's constructed his body from being a scrawny kid to being a medium unit, and maybe that's been his downfall - his natural lightweight frame has been put under too much strain since he bulked up.

I see a future captaincy beckoning for him on A Question Of Sport.

Yes, he's that good.

Alan Brazil is a drunken ****ing arsehole .
I stopped listening to him years ago when I realised he was a grade a prick .
 
His mints are crap

'Anyone But England' his famous Quote

Course it's sad for Andy he has to give up the sport HE loves

But not really sad for others so I don't find it sad

Never really liked him as a person, though I did warm to him a little bit as time passed and he matured.

However there is no doubt of his talent, drive and dedication to the sport and his achievements are remarkable and he deserves all the plaudits coming his way.

It's a pity it is having to end like this, but it is the result of the rigours he has put his body through to reach the top.

Good luck to him in the future whatever he decides to do.

I've never got why people got so upset about the whole 'anyone but England' thing. He's Scottish ffs. Of course he wouldn't want us to win. If anything, it would be weird if he did want England to win.

I mean, how many English people want to see Scotland win?

That must work both ways. Hence me thinking he’s a boring **** who I’ve always wanted to lose.

All the talk of him being the best British sportsman of his generation & in some cases the “Best British Sportsman ever” is poppycock.

That's fair, his personality has never been that amazing.

I think he is one of the best sportsmen of his generation, but no chance he is the outright best. That's still (imo) Bradley Wiggins.
