[SPORT] Andy Murray.

[Trem]

Am I the only one who hates this prick?

Now as many of our Scottish brothers on here know I really do like the Jocks, but oh my god I fucking hate Murray.

Its so pathetic how the Wimbledon crowd are cumming in their pants for him, he is not English he is Scottish, he's a fucking good Scottish tennis player.....not English. I wonder if the favour would be returned were it to be an English man playing a sport in Scotland, no of course bloody not because they know he is English and not Scottish.

At the start of his career he openly admitted he considered himself Scottish and not British or English but now he's making a shitload of money from the insane British tennis fans he has decided to be all patriotic towards Britain and has tried his best to lose his Scottish accent.

British means a lot to me until it comes to sport, if British is the case why isn't there a British football team?

God I hate the fuzzy haired **** and I hope he loses really quite soon.

[throdgrain]

Bang on mate. I hate him too. If he said he was British, no worries, we are all British, but he insists he's Scottish and hates the English, then wants the English crowd to cheer for him. Little man, hope he looses!

[Big G]

I was worried a thread about this might appear eventually.

and has tried his best to lose his Scottish accent

To be fair to him, he's from Dunblane which is quite a middle class area as far as Scottish cities go, so he is quite well spoken. Trem, also; there's nothing worse than the stereotypical "occhht aye, the nooo!" strongly spoken "Scottish footballer" accent, because a fair chunk of us don't actually sound anything like that and are more akin to Murray's accent.

To be fair growing up in scotland we had to put up for so many years whenever a scottish athlete represented the UK it was blah blah for Great Britain, if it was an Englishman it was blah blah for England. so i understand why he said he was scottish


I'm scottish and so proud of it, but i also support England during football if they arent playing Scotland of cours

The reverse happens too. For example the winter olympics the curlers were always Scottish not British. Its silly to pay any attention to these things.

[Sparx]

perhaps when you are on one side of the fence you notice it more. Like when you see a few of the same car you start to notice them and realise there are alot more of that car in the road than any others, which there isnt its just you notice them

[Big G]

Yes. It's stupid.

There is an interview here:

BBC SPORT | Tennis | Murray wins late-night thriller

He has a very smooth Scottish accent, it's got a real Bearsden / posh Glasgow sound about it.

Dunblane being a city is only a technicality. It hardly qualifies as a town.

I'll not wade in on the rest of the subject.

Thats what I mean though, like that Scottish bloke who pwned everyone at the olympics in the bike racing. Such a good bloke and amazing athlete, it would of annoyed me at the GB thing if I were Scottish. From an English point of view we say British when it suits us and English when it suits us as well.

We ARE all British but like I said when it comes to sport I think we should have seperate nations like in football.

But my main point is that Andy Murray is a complete cock wherever he's from.

This is NOT an anti Scot rant, G and Will know I love them both even though they are both rubbish at tennis....I imagine

[`mongoose]

I feel a bit sorry for him

he get's the most fucking patronising questions by the media.

yesterday he was asked how he graded his performance school grade wise so far. You could see he wanted to rip the reporters head off and shit down his neck.

He never asked to be installed as the next Tim Henman and tbh he's only answered the questions put to him with honesty.

I think the main thing is he doesn't give a shit if you like him or not - he just wants to win tennis. he is a damn fine tennis player too. having said that I do think he has all the charisma of a rotting haddock.

Personally I've given up basing my hopes on an English player winning wimbledon atm so I just want a very good player to win and to watch a very good game in hte process

He makes Nigel Mansel look like he has social skills. Whoopee if he's Scotish he's still boring as fk.

[rynnor]

I supported him quite happily until his stupid comments at the World Cup where he said he'd support whatever team England were playing.

All he had to do was keep his mouth shut but he didnt - by making it an issue about nationality I can no longer support him - frankly I hope he goes out because I'm sick of him being presented as an english player.

Lol - so when the other couple million scotts say it its fine, but when someone on tv says it its naughty? who gives a fuck which football team he supports. His mate probably bet him a pint he wouldnt say it.

[Moriath]

God damn tennis screwing with the TV schedules and everything i now hate tennis and any semi successful UK player cause now center court has flood lights and a roof it goes on all frigging night

Sooner he gets knocked out the better tbh
