Glad es out

[luplowe]

Glad Murray is out, Hes not even English so why are we cheering him on..

 

[WindyRob]

don't be such an ar$e, he is a Brit; you sound like one of those bigoted nationalists I've had the misfortune to know in the past!

 

[Noodley]

he is a Brit

No he's not, having been knocked out he has now reverted to being Scottish

 

[luplowe]

I think most people in this country would introduce them selves as either English, Scottish,Welsh,or Irish, doesn't make them bigoted nationalists . Murry is for the Scots to cheer on all were doing is jumping on there bandwagon.

Because he is Scottish?

Shame but he has got further than any Brit since Fred Perry AFAIK.

Apart from Henman, Sangster, Taylor to name but 3!

There's a lot of Scots on this forum Luplowe so who is the 'we' you're referring to?

My wife wants Federer to win whoever he's playing so it doesn't always come down to petty nationalism.

It's funny - whenever we get someone who is the genuine article like Cav,the press ignores them. Get someone who is technically deficient like Beckham and Murray and the papers build them into world beaters.

Murray would have been absolutely pasted by Federer in the final anyway.

Deeeelighted. Mostly because of shallow nature of his supporters, aka, my parents! They loved and cheered for Henman and all they do now is moan about how rubbish he was and how good Murray is. They know jack about tennis which makes it even worse!
