Well as he said himself "I am getting closer."
I think he did Great Britain proud, I think he did Scotland proud and most of all I think he did himself proud. It was great to hear the croud chanting his name and at the end of the match he showed that he is humble as well.
WELL DONE ANDY MURRAY.

The Scot did well.

Or course if he would have won, then the Brit would have done very well.

Watching Andy Murray lose at Wimbledon like that brought tears to my eyes.

I bet on him to lose in straight sets.

I honestly thought the same Nidge. Fed would have handed him his erse gift wrapped in less than an hour, was my summation on Sat night. Happy to say I was wrong. He's not far off doing a major. I just hope he's not tennis's answer to Monty.

I know a lot of boxers who are good friends but over the years they have had to fight each other, when i was a kid boxer i had to spar with my older brother, in the ring or on the court as a competitor you have to learn to hate the opponent no matter who it is, outside the ring or off the court you respect the opponent for being just that, a fellow competitor.

Andy has to get the emotional schect out of his game, Saw an interview with Federer a while back and he does just as ive said above, he learns to hate his opponent on the court but respects them off it.

I don't believe in what Andy say's about time to recover from this defeat, its in the past and he should be more focused and determined on the next slam okayyyy the olympics :roll: , he hasn't failed as he has not given up on winning a slam, Andy's weakness is the fact British males at the age of 25 are not mentally tough enough or mature enough to go that extra mile, there is the odd exception Andy is not one of them, he will though come good and win at least one slam, he is though our best tennis player of all time, im sure no one can disagree :wink:

A couple of wee stats for you, on the head to heads between Murray and Fed its 8-8, Yesterday was the first time they had played against each other on grass :D

Sorry, there is no way I'd want him to win even a meat raffle at the pub, this bloke is a disgrace with his anti English sentiment, he's entitled to that but he should keep it to himself.

I think this was a lot closer than that IF he had held serve at the end of the 2nd set I think he would have won the tie break and at 2 sets to 0 down Federer would have crumbled as it was Federer was let off the hook and Murrays head went down thats why he lost

So less of this Plucky Scot business Murray has beaten Federer in the past just not in a grand slam it was just a case of Federer played the better match on this occasion

I personally think that Murray is a very good medal hope for the Olympics

OH and by the way it may have escaped your notice but there was one Brit who DID win a Wimbledon title in the Mens Doubles ! James Marray who has the misfortune to hail from Sheffield I believe

MURRAY.


There were two reasons Andy Murray lost in the Wimbledon final to Roger Federer. The first was that he was put off by all the stupid dicks shouting “Come on Andy”, and the second reason is that he always loses when his Mummy Mrs Andy is there watching him. Therefore the woman is a ****ing jinx.


Despite losing Murray did Scotland proud, but only up to the point he got beaten. After that he embarrassed the whole of Scotland with his snivelling, sobbing and crying like a big daft Jessie. There are only three occasions when it’s okay for a Scotsman to cry, and getting humped at Wimbledon isn’t one of them.

Image

The three okay for a Scotsman to cry occasions are when he gets kicked in the testicles, or when his wife has put his Rangers/Celtic top in with a pink wash, or when he gets kicked in the testicles.


If a Scotsman cries for anything other than those reasons he gets the sh*t kicked out of him for being a diddy. And deservedly so.


Mind you, bubbling like a big girl is something I suppose you could expect from somebody who never seems to go anywhere without his Mummy.


And what the **** was he crying for anyway?. He might have lost but he still walked away with £575k in prize money, and only a £1 of that judging by Mrs Andy’s hairstyle will be going on a Mrs Andy’s haircut.

Image

Any normal person getting £575, minus the £1 for a haircut, for a few hours work.....well you wouldn’t be able to get the smile off their face. With £575k in your pocket you could employ someone to do your crying for you so that they look like a t*** and not you.


You could also pay someone to do your smiling for you. Murray never smiles. This leads me to believe that he must have a smile like Gordon Brown, the sort of smile that makes him look like someone who is on the sex offenders register. And with a smile like Gordon Brown, deservedly so.


The even less smiley Victoria Beckham was at centre court watching the final but her not smiling is a public service, because have you ever seen her smile?.

Image

Wow, it’s wide, so wide it looks as though she’s trying to eat the back of her head off. And quite frankly the sight of Mrs Beckham smiling scares children and terrifies small woodland creatures. That’s why she never smiles but as she has to do something with her lips she pouts. Now you might have thought that she pouts that ridiculous ****ing pout of hers because she thinks it makes her looking alluring. But that’s not the reason at all. She knows that her ridiculous ****ing pout looks ****ing ridiculous, but it’s either the pout or her smile which makes her look remedial. And she’d rather look ridiculous than remedial.


Unknown to her, she just looks both.


Cliff Richard was there too and it was thanks to Cliff that Wimbledon now has a sliding roof for when it rains. On a previous occasion when it rained Cliff sang to the crowd, after which the Wimbledon organisers issued an apology for the suffering caused and promised that they’d build a special roof to ensure that “****ing Cliff Richard will never ever have the excuse to bring the game of tennis into disrepute ever ****ing again”. THEIR words, not mine.


So Andy. It was bad enough losing to Federer, but then his mummy sent him to bed without his supper for not winning like she’d ordered him to. They do seem to have an odd relationship though. Sort of the Norman and his Mum the Mrs Bates of tennis.


Yes, and we all know how that ended. And it didn’t end well.


As a footnote-the BBC said the final was watched by 16.9m people, which is good news for Murray because it means that out of the 57m population of the UK 41.1m people DIDN’T see him bubbling like a girl.
