I’m also not really a lemur :ohmy:
I’m also not really a lemur :ohmy:Fek me our captain is Scottish, arguably our three best midfielders are Scottish….
Last weekend I had more interest in what Scotland and Rep of Ireland did than England, even though I’m a born and bread Wiganer / English mon. The fact that Wigan had representation at international level for these countries was enough for me.
I agree Murray has not got much of a personality but he is a great player, playing in a time period when there are 4 or 5 other great and exceptional players.
Unfortunately there are no decent English tennis players at the moment, so I’ll back the next best thing, someone from GB.
My original post was about the standard of play in that first set which continued for the rest of the match, it was breath taking at times.
Why this thread had to turn into a love / hate Scottish player debate is beyond me.
Hold your hand up if you hated Steve Davies when he was beating everyone at snooker in the 80’s / 90’s, but at the same time loved an Irish, drugged up, tanked up chain smoking pish head?
This country has always been one that generally can’t stand a winner. They think they are boring or big headed etc. Whereas most other countries put their winners on a pedestal, especially the yanks.
Well done Andy! your a boring barsteward but made me stop up till 2am this morning watching that unbelievable tennis match. You are a GB tennis grand slam winner. goodpost
From Matlock to ManU
What a journey!
I’m sorry to carry on this debate, I really wanted to stay away from this topic but unfortunately got lured back in.
JR, I have to disagree with your Scottish Wigan player’s comparison. I too want our Scottish players to perform well when they are on international duty. The reason for this… they play for Wigan Athletic, the team I support. Your comparison would only really work if Andy Murray played for Wigan in some way. Saying that we should support Scotland because they are part of GB is fine. I’m sure we all follow Oman because of Al Habsi and want them to do well. However, if Al Habsi didn’t play for us, of course we wouldn’t. My point is, if we didn’t have any Scottish players, I’m sure not many of us would have followed their game the other day. Some yes, but definately a lot less.

I to didn’t want to carry on this debate, but I reacted to the post that simply said “scottish bastard”
Now read and analyse my response and the comparison for Wigan having scottish players.From Matlock to ManU
What a journey!Our ‘Scottish’ players don’t boast about disliking the English.
Say what you like but i hate the mug.
Our ‘Scottish’ players don’t boast about disliking the English.How do you know they don’t?
And as for Andy Murray’s so called boasting about not liking the English, what was it he said that’s got you so worked up?

The thing is that Yosser preaches that the anti rugby people on here should forgive and forget about past problems with both clubs but can’t forgive or forget what Murrey alledgedly said 6 years ago hypocrite springs to mind imo
Not really concerned about it to be honest. I support the warriors not Murray. Everyone has a view and ‘hypocrite’ is too loose a term as everyone contradicts themselves all the time with things that aren’t linked if you think about it.
Thatcher and Picketers
Obama and Racism
Football and Rugby
Music and Rap
Supporting the ScotsMany, many Scots don’t like the English so why should Andy Murray be any different. Whatever he has supposed to have said about not liking the English sits fine with me. I find it quite honest and refreshing.
I certainly don’t hate him for it.
Here you go yosser, just for you.

Danny Boyle said it best in trainspotting…
I hate being Scottish. We’re the lowest of the f*cking low, the scum of the earth, the most wretched, servile, miserable, pathetic trash that was ever shat into civilization. Some people hate the English, but I don’t. They’re just w*nkers. We, on the other hand, are colonized by w*nkers. We can’t even pick a decent culture to be colonized by. We are ruled by effete arseholes. It’s a shite state of affairs and all the fresh air in the world will not make any f*cking difference.
When it comes down to it the scots hate the english based media and the people down in teh south of England.
