Well done Murray!

[Mad Doug Biker]

Maybe if that hadn't happened, the horrific trauma wouldn't have made him such a 'miserable fecker'?

Maybe, just maybe, it also drove him on to get to where he is now!

He keeps the meaning of his pointing to the sky to himself but it just may be he's dedicating his victories to his school friends who were blown away by an evil killer before they reached ten years old?

Bad enough, but as I seem to remember it was a primary 1 class, a bunch of 5 year olds. Andy would have been 8, so barely older. Would he have actually known the kids involved though?

Just sayin'

'Callous Jock turns his back on murdered schoolmates' would be your headline, would it? It had a traumatic affect on people who didn't even live in Scotland yet you claim that as he was an enormous three years older, him being at the same school with all the horrific trauma it must have gone through it should be completely forgotten? It is a small town so it is inconceivable he didn't know any of them personally.

Just sayin'

Where did I say that?

I was replying to the comment that the kids were his friends when in reality they probably weren't, I never said that it wouldn't have affected him though.

At 8 my daughter used to look after some of the younger kids, it does happen in smaller schools.

Possibly, who knows? I doubt it was a particularly small school though.

At our school it was the P6s and '7s who looked after the infants, and further, we had different areas of the playground reserved for the different years/part of the school where your classroom was, and you got into trouble if you strayed into the wrong 'territory', so we never really mixed much.

I've said, jokingly each year, that the semi-final is the point at which the "great British hope" reverts to" Scottish tosser. "

Well done Andy. Stay focussed and don't you worry about whether we think you're a nice man or not.

Good luck to British tennisball player Andy "British" Murray, from Britain.

 

[Mad Doug Biker]

And if Fed beats him then we'll send the Grenadier Guards to beat him up.

 

[Mad Doug Biker]

Right, starting now, the Doubles final and.......GO JONNY AND FREDDIE!!

 

[Mad Doug Biker]

Ah, rained off until they close the roof.

 

[Mad Doug Biker]

Switch over to the cartoon channel, MDB - it's much better entertainment.

I can't, my folks are watching it and well, Jonny (Jonathan Marray) is British, so it is worth watching it (his partner is a Dane, and of his opponents, one is a Swede and the other is Romanian!).

He's the first Brittish man in the doubles final since 1960. 52 years.

Roof is shut now, so come and watch some history being made and shhhhhh!

 

[Mad Doug Biker]

For the first time ever in my life, Wimbledon has suddenly become remotely interesting!

 

[Mad Doug Biker]

Nooooooo it's boring, you are just being swept along by the hype (the words of a grumpy old man)

What hype? hardly anyone will know who Marray is. A certain Mr Murray however. Besides, the doubles are slightly more interesting to watch anyway.


Marray, Murray...... there must be some sort of conspiracy in that.

I have absolutely no interest in tennis but I do know, being a lifelong cricket lover, that feeling of spending years in the wilderness. Now that we've a decent cricket team, I've been loving every moment. It's probably very similar for British racing cyclists since the last Olympics and now the Tour de France.

So, well done, Murray, and all the very best tomorrow. British - or Scottish if you prefer - tennis lovers deserve a share of the glory too.

 

[YahudaMoon]

Wow, just wow !

I think we're about to win the doubles ?

Come on Sheffield :-D
