OT Andy Murray

What do you think, boys?

 

I think when he loses he is a miserable Scottish ****.

I think when he wins I don't give a **** as he is a miserable Scottish ****.

As you probably can tell I am not the biggest tennis fan !

 

I think that is the correct answer, G4E.

 

He's certainly not as interesting as Nieminen who could have a song made up about him.

 

I like Tennis a lot and Murray is a great player. It is unfortunate for him that he was born into such a strong era. Your poll needs a 3rd option, "We are lucky to have such a fine Sportsman represent us".

I doubt anyone in the public eye regrets a joke more than he does. Despite the remark about supporting anyone but England (and it was a joke) he lives in England (not Monaco or Switzerland like F1 drivers) and married an English girl.

I hope he goes all the way to the final. When he beat Djokovic 2 years ago it was one of the best sporting moments I've ever witnessed from my armchair.

 

^^^ So he's taking our jobs, our homes and our women as well!

 

I bet he just outbid you on his home. Have you got a few million to spend on your house?

 

I did have, but spent it all on tennis tournaments watching Murray

 

Agree 100%

 

Yeah, but he's Scottish.

 

This site needs a dislike button!

 

That would encourage wums, SD, and, as you know, I'm dead against wumming.

 

I like watching the best in any sport - even if they are Scottish. Murray is a whisker away from being the best; he would be comfortably at the top he wasn't playing alongside three greats.

 

So is he the 4th best then

 

He's one of the best players in a very strong era. Probably 2nd best at present - on current form.

 

But...he's Scottish!

 

I thought you'd be pleased. He could be scouse after all.

 

Now, that really would be a dilemma... "HIAG, you can have another Wimbledon champion, but he'll be either Scottish or a Mouser. Please, choose, now!"

It'd be a choice between that dreadful "Battle of Bannockburn" mentally that so many Scots retain, or the dreadful sentimentality and interminable cheeky jocularity of the Mouser...!

On balance, I think I'd go with the miserable Scot.

 

He is a great player.

He is Scottish & proud of his beautiful country .... no problem with that.

its the English press calling him British now he has started to win things that I have problems with

 

...and those twats who sit up on "Henman" Hill, waving their stupid little plastic flags! They wind me up.

Why is it still called Henman Hill, anyway? Murray may be Scottish, but he did, at least, win Wimbledon. The hill - if it is to have a name - should be called Murray Hill or, if we are to allow the Scot his proper due, Murray Beinn, in honour of the fact that the Scots now "own" a little piece of England.

Yes, Minxy, I agree with you. Our press ought to call it like it is - that a Scot, not a Brit, is putting the English to shame, and use their editorial to remind us, every day, of that shame.
