scothunter 12,609 Posted July 7, 2012 Report Share Posted July 7, 2012 Do what did he do/ say this time to remind you? I can think of one time, involving a footy shirt. Tbh I think it was in jest, however if it wasn't, he hasnt as far as I'm aware done anything since to alienate the English. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

sams-man 44 Posted July 7, 2012 Report Share Posted July 7, 2012 Everyone knew Murray was in the final early last week so no one should be surprised ! The guy is a first class prick of the highest order !! Time and time again he reminds the English how much he doesn't like us ? Any English fan is a mug ! Come on federer !!!!!!!!!!!!! did you put money on him being in the final & losing to Federer? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

scothunter 12,609 Posted July 7, 2012 Report Share Posted July 7, 2012 Well I never heard thst he said that lately, if that's true , then I dont what he hopes to achieve. I've stuck a bet on him, I think he could possibly pull it off. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Moll. 1,793 Posted July 7, 2012 Report Share Posted July 7, 2012 Watched the semi final yesterday at my mothers house. I used to always watch Wimbledon with her, some great characters. My mother commented that Murray was 'very dour'. But omg i could not believe what a horrible self centred prick Murray is, his interview after the match, if the commentator asked him anything about his opponent he was not interested in answering. Then when asked about putting his Mam & Dad through stress (A light hearted comment by the presenter) his reply was something along the lines of "I could not care less what they are going through, it's me who has the stress"....and he was serious!

bird 10,014 Posted July 7, 2012 Report Share Posted July 7, 2012 It will be Roger and out come Sunday and Murray will be back to being a scot....Fedderer will wipe the floor with him...I'll be very surprised if Murray takes a set of him Murray leads Federer in the head to head meetings Undi, final's going to be a whole different game though.. Aye Malt but it's been in diddy tournaments and such....these guys seem to find an extra gear in the big matches spot on , i just dont think he can( up) is game for it at the level sunday. Fedderer will blow him away , watching Fedderer in is match carnt see Murray coping with it. But it would be great for the sport (if) Murray could . just a pity he aint english Quote Link to post Share on other sites
skycat 6,174 Posted July 7, 2012 Report Share Posted July 7, 2012 http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/tennis/article-2169975/Wimbledon-2012-Martin-Samuel--Give-respect-Andy-Murray.html?ito=feeds-newsxml I can't believe how so many people want to tear a successful athlete to shreds, just because he doesn't tick all the boxes on the 'personality' front. I wouldn't like to be interviewed minutes after punishing myself for hours in my sport, as now happens to all athletes/sports men and women. So what if he's dour, po-faced, selfish or miserable. He's driven, very driven. Sure, we all like the nice guys such as Federer et al, but anyone would think that Murray has committed some sort of cardinal sin by merely being himself. It's not a popularity contest after all, and to be honest, it is him that is carrying all the stress: he just made the mistake of being honest about it. Maybe other sports 'heros' have the ability to cover up the cold, steel grit that gets them to where they are, putting on the charming façade to please the media and public. I, for one, won't be damning Murray because he doesn't have either that ability or that desire: he wants to win, and he's fought long and hard to get where he is. Maybe in a few years he will mellow a bit, but for now, he is what he is, and I wish people would accept that not everyone can be a media diplomat, especially when they're knackered, sore and facing the big one in just a couple of days time. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

skycat 6,174 Posted July 7, 2012 Report Share Posted July 7, 2012 I'm a quarter Scots, half Yorkshire and a bit of Welsh thrown in far back: so I've probably got the dour 'gene' from all three Now't wrong in a bit of plain speaking, even if most people today aren't that way inclined. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
