Perhaps a "well done Andy" on your career highlight might have been more approriate? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KeithR Posted September 11, 2008 Report Share Posted September 11, 2008 A win at the Olympics would have warranted a 'well done' and if he had got a gold medal then an 'extremely well done' As it happened he lost in the first round to a chap ranked 77 in the world so the term 'prat' comes to mind rather than well done. Funny how he was 'British' representative in the Olympics but wishes to be known as Scottish in the world rankings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes indeed a gold would have got a well done, so why not reaching the US Open final? He lost to a guy ranked 77, yes a prat for losing on paper what was an easy game, but that wasn't you original point. Anyway, was it even his surface, I know sod all about tennis, lah-de-dah upper middle class frollicking that it is, but I do know surfaces have a great effect on players, could explain his early exit? Funny how he was 'British' representative in the Olympics but wishes to be known as Scottish in the world rankings Because he's Scottish, but the Olympics recognises the political nationality of these islands rather than the geographical national borders within.

Robbo Posted September 12, 2008 Report Share Posted September 12, 2008 Apparantly, in the sport of tennis and to those who know him he is regarded as arrogant, petulant and a bit of a spoilt brat who spits his dummy out when annoyed or when things go wrong.

P J Posted September 13, 2008 Report Share Posted September 13, 2008 I have no problem with Murray wishing to be known as scottish not British but I do struggle with his anti English stance which is quite a different thing altogether.

Geoffrey Settle Posted October 27, 2008 Report Share Posted October 27, 2008 Well with his fifth victory yesterday, Andy has now won more titles in a year than any other Briton roll on his 6th next week. Very impressive yesterday retaining the title he won this time last year - so consistently good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoffrey Settle Posted August 16, 2009 Report Share Posted August 16, 2009 Well Gary and me predicted that he'd be back. Victory today - Winning the Montreal Masters Final (his 5th title of the year) has taken him to No. TWO in the World Rankings. You lot scoffed and mocked maybe that's what egged him on to great heights and wonderful tennis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle Posted August 16, 2009 Report Share Posted August 16, 2009 Geoff, your resurrection of this thread after ten months suggests that either you are besotted with Murray or you are two strings short of a racquet. Do you really believe that he read this thread and it egged him on to greater heights and wonderful tennis? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geoffrey Settle Posted August 17, 2009 Report Share Posted August 17, 2009 See even Rifles is surprised either at Andy's great performance, moving into 2nd spot or the World readership of this forum. Wouldn't it be great if Andy did post a comment about his win? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rifles Posted August 17, 2009 Report Share Posted August 17, 2009 I think its the wordwide readership. I would be surprised if the Scot posted on an English town's forum though. If he did post a comment about his win im sure some people would be elated. Personally i would prefer listening to a fishing match on the radio with lots of static.

Geoffrey Settle Posted August 17, 2009 Report Share Posted August 17, 2009 Rifles just imagine if he did post, Gary would be made up and he'd certainly have his photo on the front page of the Warrington Worldwide magazine instead of his usual lovelys.

Geoffrey Settle Posted September 8, 2009 Report Share Posted September 8, 2009 Poor Andy I see what you mean about his timing, better luck next time? British number one Andy Murray paid the price for an error-strewn display as he went out of the US Open with a fourth-round defeat by Marin Cilic. Murray, seeded second, had two set points for the first set but it was his Croatian opponent who snatched it. The second set was a disaster for the Scot, who made a series of mistakes to allow the 16th seed to extend his lead. Cilic, who held serve throughout, kept attacking in the third set and went on to seal an impressive 7-5 6-2 6-2 win Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
