Wimbledon chat: popcorn matches (and no salt)

[PrivateIsles]

Welcome one and all

I’m feeling worryingly relaxed about the Rafa match - hope I’m not proven wrong. Where is he - hope they put him on soon.

Yes have that drink Raahh

I also read that a large Pimms is £8.50 at Wimbledon - don’t think my whole bottle cost that much from Aldi!

What - Konta! Have they put Rafa (from centre court) on the red button? They wouldn’t do that to roger!

Serena has out mellowed over the years I think. She still does that ' I'm so tired' bit mid match (them just wins )
I wonder if her little girl is hitting the aces already ? No pressure.

I'm watching 'Andy Murray in action '. What is his doubles partner called again?...

Ok where is raffa ?
2nd wash is on the line
I am pacing my self to do loads tomorrow.

Nadal is on now, on the red button. Because there are British people playing on BBC1 and 2. What do you mean, you thought Centre Court matches would be shown on the main channels?

He’s on the red button bizzey - not impressed!

I have no dc's ...i cant start drinking when I want !!😂😂

If a match is good enough to be on centre court it should be good enough to be on the main tv channels!

Very different commentary today.

Rafa is actually being mentioned in his match, for a start.

Oh flip ..my red button is awfull
It keeps clitching
Ahhhhhh

Phew I found Nadal on another channel.

Bye bye BBC

Konta : can't warm to his ' honorary Brit'

TheOnly exactly.

Rafa would also have been on the red button the other night, no question, had he not been playing you know who. It wasn't out of respect for the world number 2 that they continued the coverage .

Oh dear ...only got red button on bedroom tv !@
Might have to have a lie down !!🤣🤣

Foggy 2 sets down now - he’s looking a bit out of sorts. He’s playing Tennys Sandgren which I always think is a good name for a tennis player.

Fizzy it is a good name. He is a strange bloke though.

Mac appears to be waffling along to himself...

I don’t really mind Mac waffling

Unbelievable that I've cleared my afternoon to watch the first 1.5 hours of what the BBC described as the match of the day and they're not showing it!

It just seemed to be meandering off to nowhere Fizzy .

I'm finding the hypocrisy in how they are discussing Rafa today, and the way they talked about him the other day, quite galling.

You wanted him to lose the other day Mac, don't pretend you care now!

Pesky nex door neighbours kids ..knocking on my door asking for their ball back !!
They've got it ...but i told them not to knock any more as i was watching Nadal!

Not the normal MN response but hey ...i like to be different 😁😁

Oh no come on Fabio!! He needs another five set epic.

And they are still talikng about nobhead

Not looking great for Foggy.

Not looking good for our Fabio Private

DH says he wants a lift somewhere - I hope he’s joking!

Sandgren cannot be in the fourth round, when Stan, Tsitsipas and Zverev are out. It's unacceptable!!

Hello all. Happy to have Mac commentating in Rafa despite his bias towards Dick on Thursday. This is a much more enjoyable affair. I am off out today at 6.30 - do you think we will be done by then? I can’t believe that I’ve made the schoolgirl error of scheduling a social engagement mid fortnight!
