I'm afraid I'm struggling to find the required 'oomph' to have a serious debate about a dour Scotsman who specialises in doing quite well in a sport I have no interest in.

He is actually coming across as a very decent young Man recently. His support of his friend with Cancer is quite touching. He is dour on the court as that is what makes him a WINNER !

Pironkova ROBBED. :down: 4-6 6-3 6-3, Radwanska will now win the Title. Dark day for the Bulgarian Beauty. Her poor damaged foot slowed her down and her lack of fitness shone through.

The commentary team had a stinker though, pronouncing this to be her best ever Wimbledon. How about doing your homework and discovering that she was a SEMI FINALIST only a few years ago... Poor attention to detail, and exactly why they were on a low interest court.

I have no interest in tennis, dull sport. I have no interest in Andy Murray, dull man. However from what I have seen he goes to pains to dis-associate himself from England.

Cheers for that. ???
 


In all the excitement of the Harveys being booted out of The Amex thread I'd forgotten about this.

Is he Scottish or British at present?

I wasn't suggesting he isn't a decent man. If the documentary I watched about him the other day is an accurate portrayal he is incredibly dull. what is he going to do with his friend who has cancer? Tell him to **** off?

No but he has gone all out for him including raising loads of money for the Hospital he was at.

I like the Polish, Radswanska and was going to back her at 25/1 this morning. With Serena out she must be 5/1 now tops.

I think most people in his position would but good on him. It makes him no less dour.

And was is wrong with Dour, my friend ? I have been for years, as indeed you have.

sorry US,I was referring to the lovely Tsvetana Pironkova getting knocked out

We'll get through this, together. In the meantime, if you find a site with HQ pics from the match, I beg you to share.

5s?! No chance, #4 seed and now MUST be the second favourite behind Kvitova. Possibly the favourite based on the ranking but I'd expect it to Kvitova based on the fact she is a former Champion.

I am far from dour I just don't look at something that I think is clearly shit and say it's great. From the little I know of Murray he seems a decent man he also seems to be a miserable bastarad, sorry if the likes of Simster and Hans Kray can't comprehend that simple concept but I am not here to educate them Im here to state my thoughts and maybe learn something from some of the less reactionary on here.

You're just making sh1t up now. I never said he wasn't DOUR. Of course he's fcking dour. He's Scottish for God's sake. All I questionned was your gripe that he doesn't play cricket and do morris dancing in his down-time.

That is a fair rebuttal.

Why come wading into a Tennis thread to basically write the entire sport off? Personally, I think cricket is pointless rubbish but when the Sussex CCC threads come up I've perfected the art of leaving them alone. Give it a go. You don't like tennis, fine. Don't spoil this thread by banging on about how you don't like it when people are coming here to talk with likeminded folks.

Just to confirm, I have nothing against your opinion or how you've put it across. Naturally, certain people come out to get frictious (if that isn't a word, it should be), but I don't feel a need to launch a hatchet job on your character for a disliking of the sport.

Murray is a WINNER and has a winning mentality. Something far too few other British Sports Men and Women have.
