to be cheering for Andy Murray to loose..

[HappyJoyful]

a set down and I'm beaming...

HappyJoyful (now there seems to be a misnomer if I have read this thread correctly)

Do you also type 'abit' in the same way that you type 'alot'.

It's just one of my pet peeves.

(I am far from perfect; I am always typing 'eachother' instead of 'each other' to list just one of my flaws)

Well since he is now the most successful British male tennis player for the last 60 odd years you must be gutted.

Sorry obvs dodn't mean Roget Federer I mean D Ferrer - so irritsted I'm mixing up my players!

My typing has also gone to pot!

Hmm...maybe I should get into sport more

What a fantastic match that was. I'm still beaming.
OP, have a happy, joyful evening. (YABU)

Prettycherrytrees, my point was I don't think someone commenting on my thoughts being based on my achievements was appropriate or in the slightest bit relevant.
All points taken on board..and did say very, very early on that I (goodness is everyone out there perfect) worded it incorrectly. Pity help someone not as thick skinned as me coming along and making a similar 'error' as some of the comments and posts were I felt below the belt is all I said.
Some people do need to loosen up and take things with a bit of a pinch of salt, no doubt same could be thrown back at me and no doubt will be.

Yes some people DO need to loosen up a little.

anyone but England
anyone but Murray

:yawn: dementedma - is that your reason for not liking him? A 19 year old Scot having some banter with a fellow sportsman says Anyone but England after other sportsman said Anyone but Scotland?

It's nothing to do with your poor spelling, OP. Stop trying to hide behind that and "man up".

So entertaining..this

redlac also he's a bloody misery, takes his frustration out on linesmen and referees when things don't go his way, uses "injuries" as an excuse for poor performances, and is just extemely dull.
will that do?

thats a perfectly good reason for not liking him - using a throwaway remark said when is was a teenager and quoted out of context is a bit shite.

Each to their own :)

Poor performances at 4 in the world and best tennis player GB has ever had. Would like to be so bad as that.

Should be as bad as that !

Op can you keep cheering for him to lose?

FWIW I have witnessed Andy, Jamie and Judy together & they really love each other....major teasing goes on between them. Just a normal family. And Judy is lovely, well respected, loves cake, is interested in getting everyone's kids more active through her Set4Sport campaign.

About half way down that link there is a bit about henman being disqualified for the ball girl incident.

Just for those of you that didn't believe it.

complexnumber You've probably seen this before but it bears repeating: The Alot is better than you

OP I'm not sure how long you've been a Mumsnetter but generally speaking it is inadvisable to post an AIBU without wearing your hard hat and flame proof undies. You might not have been picked up on the typo if you'd been posting a thread generally considered to be 'reasonable'.

Unfortunately (from your point of view) lots of people didn't think you were reasonable. Your initial OP was ill judged. People didn't like it.

This is the first time for many years that Britain has a sports person has a good chance of winning Wimbledon a sporting event close to many people's hearts. Many people are supporting Andy Murray and would live it if he won.

In the midst of all the excitement you decided to that it would be a good idea to post that you hoped Andy would lose and that you were 'beaming'.

Peo

Tim hen man did hit a ball girl but it was not aimed at her on purpose, he hit the ball in anger at missing a shot.

He is number 4 in the world which is purely judged n his performance week in week out.

He is now the best british player ever during the last 60 odd years.

No matter how well he plays and turns out for the Davis cup and Olympic teams to represent GB there are always the idiots in the crowds at British matches who shout out ´come on Tim´ and expect him to just take it as banter.

When Henman was young he belted a ball at a ball girl in frustration and he was hated for a while until he was better than rude jetski that plastic canadian who thought he could make history by changing his passport.

Am not hiding in the slightest or being 'un-manly' far as I can know.. my final comment was I said I take it all with pinch of salt and take points on board-just that wish things could be read as intended I guess and laughed all the way along at some of the comments as I posted.

Well put dementedma..
