Rather liked a cartoon I saw where a wife is calling from the kitchen to her husband who is watching Wimbledon on the telly - "Well, have we got a British finalist, or a Scottish loser?"

[paraffin]

Let's put this to bed right now.

Murray made his so called anti English remark a few years back in a lighthearted interview immediately after Scotland had failed to qualify for the World Cup (again!).

It was very much said tongue in cheek but was leapt on straight away by the tabloids who chose to brand him as a hater of England and all things English.

He lives in London with his English girlfriend.

He is a quarter part English with relatives from Newcastle.

He supports two football teams, Hibs and Wolves.

He regularly wears a Wolves football shirt given to him by Englishman John Lloyd (of tennis fame).

If that's symptomatic of an England hating Scot, then I'm a Chinaman(as the old saying went).

[mightyWBA]

Well that settles it then....
I don't care if he's Scottish,English,Chinese or Mexican.
If he's a Wolves fan he's definately a to$$er!
Grrrrrr...

His Girlfriend's English TCL because even he knows the sweaty birds are all a bunch of Munters.

Drisgirl, you cannot expect to be a whole nation of "anyone but England", chip on shoulder English hating jocks and not expect some reciprocation Stop Whinning, we endure ritual slagging of all our sportsmen from the skirted ones as routine!

[sambro]

well said mighty!!

Drisgirl
I have friends who are Scottish and they don't like Murray.

This has nothing to do with the English hating the Scotss.

It is Murray who is non charismatic, no personality, arrogant and just happens to be Scottish.

Roddick took him to the "cleaners" in the semi-final.

He is a class act and will win a Major wthout doubt.

[Rollo]

Just remember that Murray plays tennis for himself, not the Scots, the English or the British.

He make a great deal of money from playing a game which is of little consequence to the rest of us in our lives.

Whether anybody like shim or not is probably irrelevant to him, as he "laughs all the way to the bank".

[sqad617]

Rollo.......do me a favour.........LAUGHS all the way to the bank, he doesn't even SMILE all the way to the bank.

Best joke ths week.

[Rollo]

Just a figure of speech!

LOL

[sqad617]

Rollo...yes I knew, but could not resist the reposte...LOL

[Rollo]

With hindsight it would have been better if I had said

as he "scowls all the way to the bank".

Maybe.

:-))

[sambro]

whens he going to win a major then?2009.2010.2011,2012,when?,where? paris,new york,where?, when?, hes not good enough.

[craft1948]

I think he may actually struggle a bit more now that Roddick has shown how to beat him.....having said that not many people have Roddicks serve. I wish Murray well and hope that the miserable git does win a slam.

[Drisgirl]

How heartening to read that people arent partial to him as they dont like his personality rather than he is a 'Jock' not a term that I would suggest should be used in Scotland btw :) Even worse than being called English lol.

Im not whining to whoever said that -i'm toying with all the sheep -baaaa -well cant get to see the tele just now -so making my own entertainment -mwah to you all and enjoy this ace weather and lighten up xx

[TCL-MUMPING]

"whens he going to win a major then?2009.2010.2011,2012,when?,where? paris,new york,where?, when?, hes not good enough. "

Remind me, when was it that Henman won a Grand Slam again?

[Drisgirl]

Get in there TCL -think we have them over a barrel lol!

[craft1948]

okay...........neither Henman nor Murray has won a slam.....

[ELVIS68]

I`m beginning to like him, like Henman, easy money to be made betting against them in Wimbledon semi finals

[sambro]

henman was cr*p as well!!
