Im proud of Murray,
Proud of Murray?!? :evil: Murray hates the English but that shouldn’t stop Scotland being proud of him……

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.

You say “Scotland’s absence” like it’s a rare occurance. :lol:
