That's it! I have been thinking all the last 2 weeks that Lipsticky reminded me of somebody - Its Jessica from True Blood!

Chubfuddler · 07/07/2013 18:39

Blimey. We've managed to have probably a dozen threads in the last fortnight with posters supporting Spanish, French, Serb, polish, British, German, argentine, Chinese, American and more. But when a British man wins we have to have this sectarian shit.

Button it the lot of you with this crap. It's a huge achievement for andy murray personally and a great thing for Britain. We do somehow manage to piss on our own parade in this country don't we?

LetUsPrey · 07/07/2013 18:41

I'm English. I like the Scots. I like them so much I married one.

I am the Victor Kiam of this thread.

MrsBungle · 07/07/2013 18:42

Agreed chub it's really quite pathetic.

siezethenight · 07/07/2013 18:42

Well said chub It doesn't matter - Scottish flag and British Flag - hold up both. People were holding up both. Its a good day for all.

I loved his speech! Funny and gracious!

Well done him :)

What a fantastic match!

Chubfuddler · 07/07/2013 18:47

Whatever scottushmummy

If he felt that strongly about it he wouldn't have agreed to be part of team GB last year. Until parliament decides otherwise Scottish is an ethnicity, not a nationality.

VikingVagine · 07/07/2013 18:48

My post was replying to someone up thread who asked what Salmond had said! He was the one rubbing in the Scottish devision thing, not me!

scottishmummy · 07/07/2013 18:49

Lets be clear for the hard of finking.sectarian sentiments are divisive on religious basis
Waving a saltire is an acknowledgement that Murray is scottish
Displaying national pride that one of us did well.a legitimate thing to do

galletti · 07/07/2013 18:52

Well, I have to admit to having the blue and white polka dot bunting out today, as I was born in Glasgow of Scottish parentage, but live in England. I see myself as British, but support a Scot or Scottish team when they are playing a sport. When England play, I support them and have red and white polka dot bunting which goes out. In the Olympics I had both the blue and white, and the red and white bunting out to support Team GB. In fact, I alternated the triangles. Yes, you've guessed it, I am slightly mad, and also had a lot of time on my hands last year, and got carried away with bunting making! Grin

I couldn't give a shiny shit, who thinks what about this, I am proud that a young man, with the expectations of a nation on his shoulders pulled it out the bag. Regardless of whether anyone "likes" him surely he deserves a pat on the back and a well done, even from his haterz. Just because he is a sportsman, it doesn't mean he has to be the chirpiest, most likeable person in the world.

What I will say is, if you haven't, watch the documentary they did about him. See him speak about him and Kim, his childhood, his family and what happened to him the day a nutjob went berserk in his school with a gun. If you still think he is a cold fish, then IMHO that says much more about you than it does him.

See you for the US tennis fans! Tennis

FreedomOfTheTess · 07/07/2013 18:59

Murray is Scottish and British.

Scottish is not yet a nationality, so by default, he's British.

His cultural identity is Scottish.

It really isn't rocket science.

Well done to Murray - a great day for Scotland and the WHOLE of Britain - whether the Scots like it or not.

NB: Let us not forget, most of Andy's early funding was from the British pot, so it's very much a day for Britain.

And that's all I'm saying on the matter.

scottishmummy · 07/07/2013 19:02

That's you then?good

Chipstick10 · 07/07/2013 19:06

Lets be clear alex salmond is a fool with no class. Personally I think he is very anti English but that's my personal feeling. I couldn't imagine sir Chris hoy behaving in such a crass manner.
Clearly it was a crass thing to do because many have commented on it.

GameSetAndMatch · 07/07/2013 19:06

MissAnnersley · 07/07/2013 19:09
