Im proud of Murray,
Proud of Murray?!? :evil: Murray hates the English but that shouldn’t stop Scotland being proud of him……
by Tony Parsons
All this “True Brit” stuff about Murray is true tosh. Come on! Murray is a true Scot and he is proud of it.
Good luck to him – Scotland is a great country full of exceptional people. And I don’t just say that because it always annoys sourpuss characters like Murray when an Englishman doesn’t share his puerile prejudice.
Unlike Murray, I would cheer Scotland in any football match they played, unless the opponents were England. Murray, of course, has gone on record as saying he would support, “anyone but England” the tip of a toxic iceberg of anti-Englishness. In fact, I appreciate his honesty. When I take my seat at the Centre Court today, as I do on one day every year, Andy Murray will not be representing my country or me.
I am probably not a very good Englishman – I can never really get excited about the flag of St. George. I stick a couple on my car on the rare occasions that England qualify for a major football tournament, but that red cross on a white background always has a touch of the white van about it.
I grew up under the red, white and blue of the Union Jack. That’s my beautiful flag .
That’s the flag that moves my heart.
But I am enough of an Englishman for my hackles to rise when we get stick from a character like Andy Murray, who wouldn’t dream of ranting about anyone but the English about their race and creed.
The English are meant to take it. And, as I say, we certainly can.
But don’t expect me to warm to you just because you wrap yourself in a Union Jack for a photoshoot and mutter a few platitudes about how your dear old granny was from south of the border. Too little, too late.
And by the lukewarm enthusiasm Murray has inspired on the former Henman Hill (Murray Mount? It sounds like something you suck), I think that there are plenty of people at Wimbledon who feel exactly the same.
If Murray just wanted to be pro-Scottish, that would have been fine. The fact that he chose to make anti-English remarks set his stall out, as the pundits would say.
It was a joke. An English Journalist was winding him up about Scotland not being in the World Cup, and then asked him who he would be supporting in Scotland’s absence.
Cant believe the amount of English that have got their knickers in a twist over it. Kind of banter that goes on in Pubs all the time. Setup by sc/um journalists.
Now that WAS edge of the seat stuff. Mesmorising Tennis.
On court for nearly 5 hrs in probably the best Wimbeldon Final in 50 years. There’s no comparision is there?
Nonsense.
I’ve never sat on the edge of my seat watching Women’s Tennis in my life. It’s usually over in 50 mins with little excitement. Id rather watch an Albanian Soap Opera with subtitles.
Women actually played 5 sets at one time, but a Woman fainted, so they decided to make it 3 sets.
I stand by what I said. Women getting equal pay is a nonsense. They do part time hours and get full time pay.
Can you imagine what the Bra Burners would say if it was Men that were doing part time hours for the same pay?Given that there is far more interest in Men’s Tennis, and that they generate 20 percent more income, then they should get 20 percent more prize money than Women. Surely that’s only fair.

I wouldn’t swear on it but i think you might find that in the US the womens tennis gets larger viewing on TV than the mens game,and afterall it is TV that pays the lions share of the prize money.
Remember ….. i don’t foookin care
Dont swear on it.
Over the past five years Men’s Single’s Final’s have averaged more than 20 percent more viewers than Women’s. This means that Men are generating 20 percent more income, playing for far longer, yet Women are wanting an equal share of the Pie.

Dunno what the answer is, but the Labour Government isnt gonna do a damn thing about it, that’s for sure.
imagine not having the intelligence to condem someone for not having intelligence when you cant even spell intelligence
My original point still stands. Keep making your silly remarks about spelling Kevin.
If I ever see the guy who plunged you I’ll buy him a Beer. :wink:
Big welcome to another of Kate’s characters.
That’s not even taking into account the fact that they’re only on Court for 50 mins or something, and then can go Shopping for the rest of the day.

here i bet the williams sisters would beat afew of the men atpresent…!!
Look at other Women’s Sports that are played seperately from men. Women’s Golf, Women’s Football etc. How much interest is generated in those? Can you imagine a Women from the Ar.senal ladies team or a Women Golfer having the cheek to ask for the same cash as Fabregas or Tiger Woods?
Most of the Women in those aforementioned Sports would have to have a real job to supplement their income.
As i said these Women should thank God for what they get, and that they dont have to go it alone like in other Sports. Women’s Tennis played seperately would attract meagre interest.Basically these people are a sc.ummy underclass with the intellegence level of Baboons. They will not think twice of the consequences of taking someones life and the suffering caused to the victims family, because they havent got the intellegence level to do that.
