Great he won, an exciting match and Djocovic is a gent.  Hope it doesn't make the Scots too patriotic and they vote for independance or I'm first in the queue out of here  :D

So glad he did it though , and he beat the number 1 too . Pressure off the poor sod now .

He does NOT whinge.  He gets a barrage of stupid inane questioning after every match, at a point when he is physically exhausted.  How would you like it!  He is a shy young man who concentrates on what he does best and doesn't have a lot to say otherwise.   we are all different and it is a good thing that we are.

And as Sandy says, it will perhaps let people think of Dunblane less of a site of a massacre and more of the normal, beautiful and historic little town that it is.  It should also be noted that he regularly donates a great deal of his winnings to charity - voluntarily.

The Gold Post box in Dunblane has a Saltire draped over it tonight!  We are proud of our fellow countryman and what he has achieved, and rightly so.  Would you take that away from us and try to do us down. just TRY!

Well I won't raise a cheer, (don't worry it won't be missed) I have worked for this country, that is Great Britain, with people from England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Island all over the world and although had banter I am proud to say the people I have served with, none have been racist like murray. I won't hold that against you though.

That is just plain out of order.  We are the most UNRACIST nation in the world.  We tolerate and welcome anyone into our country (even sassenachs  :innocent:  ;D)

Andy is a proud Scot and the rest of us proud Scots are proud of him.  That does not mean that either he or we are racist.

The political argument is totally unrelated to this magnificent win.

Actions speak the loudest about the man. Good for you, Andy.

Quote from Alec Salmond, a view which I share.   
"Andy Murray didn't win the men’s final at Wimbledon BECAUSE he’s Scottish, and nobody would be so stupid as to suggest that.   

Nor did he win it DESPITE being Scottish. He won it because he has a natural ability which was nurtured and built upon over many years of hard work, which has nothing to do with where he comes from.

However, he is still Scottish… AND British. The funny thing is that if Scotland does vote for independence next year, he’ll still be both – as will all citizens in Scotland. The UK does not hold copyright on the term ‘British’ – it relates to the island which Scotland, England, ireland, and Wales all share – Great Britain. It’s a geographical name, not a geopolitical one."

I just knew this thread would end up like this :rant:   Now  no way have I got time or the memory to google British winners of anything but I wonder  how many  have been born outside the UK  but still the win is for GB......you can be born in Poland and still represent Britain for goodness sake...... :innocent:

This is the only warning I will issue


This thread is to celebrate a great sporting achievement, not to discuss politics. If it persists comments will disappear with no further warning and/or the thread will be locked.


If you want to discuss politics go open a thread in the current affairs room so people can ignore it more easily!
