HeinzHines Posted June 30, 2006 Report Share Posted June 30, 2006 Couldnt give a shit, most scots dont support england and fairy nuff, its not their country, but unfortunatly because he represents Britian, he is going to get a backlash.

Benji Posted June 30, 2006 Report Share Posted June 30, 2006 Behold the awful price of treason. Get to your knees, kiss the emblem on my robe.. and you shall feel no more!The fucking media these days...They gripe at the players for not winning tournaments, then as they play tournaments, they fuck with there heads as they play.. they need the support the most, they get let down superbly by these fucking morons who pick up on stupid comments.OH BTW, He's Scottish you bunch of frilly-fairy cakes. It's like moaning at Nigeria for not supporting Ghana. I think the pieces are moving into place for a United UK. Fuck that. You want us United? Give us our fucking Country back you cocks.

framheim Posted June 30, 2006 Report Share Posted June 30, 2006 the whole things a load of shit tbh. it's his choice whether he supports england or not. i hate the whole scottish people hating english people and vice versa. also england didn't take our country, we entered into a treaty of union of our own free will because our country was fucked. it was almost bankrupt due to the darien scheme, where scotland tried to colonise panama: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dari%C3%A9n_schememe, i'm quite happy to support england in the world cup but that's my own choice and i get why people don't support them.

delboy Posted June 30, 2006 Report Share Posted June 30, 2006 its amazing how wound up the english media gets (esp alan green on five live and he's irish!) if a scot dares to support anyone other than england. as an englishman i find it a pathetic reaction..... if scots want to support the opposition then why not? i dont have a problem with that but the way some of the english media speaks is that these people should be hung drawn and quartered!!!! i know its supposed to be a united kingdom but the reality as we all know is that its far from united!irelivant of who he supports i find murray a pretencious little twat regardless....

Johnny Mac Posted June 30, 2006 Report Share Posted June 30, 2006 I think the English people must be annoyed that 'tiger tim' is shite these days.Aye, I guess Murray is a cocky bastard, but you need a bit of arrogance and swagger to succeed.Most Scots would say the same thing as him anyway, hell half of England don't really care if England win. People from Liverpool, Newcastle etc..... I met a bunch of them on holiday in Barcelona last week and watched the games with them and they all hate the English media and half the team too. Great bunch of lads though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was some of the most negative journalism ever....and the idiots have the nerve to suggest that WE are small-minded for not supporting England when they blatently failed to support us.

Alkaline Posted June 30, 2006 Report Share Posted June 30, 2006 Who cares? The kid should be a bit more media savvy than to allow himself to be drawn into such an idiotic question, especially when he represents the UK. His PR team and advisors should be shot.

mcsheepie Posted June 30, 2006 Report Share Posted June 30, 2006 This whole thing bugs me. I'm not supporting England, and would love to see them lose. This isn't because i'm Scottish and hate the English, its because i hate the English media. I am fed up hearing about how amazing the England team is, how Rooneys foots doing, what they had for tea. The news headlines start off with..And England are warming up for x match. Thats sports news, where's the world headlines? The comment that bugged me most? Well, England won't meet Germany till the final.If they weren't so arrogant about everything, i might hope they do alrightI am not anti-English for not supporting them. I just want them to lose so the media will shut up. If they do win it'll be unbearable.And did you read the bit about someone having a go at Murray for wearing a saltire sweatband? Surely thats anti-Scottish? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scootray Posted June 30, 2006 Report Share Posted June 30, 2006 Everyone knows it's just cause he's better than fucking Henman...Damn right. Murray actually has a chance of winning Wimbledon in the future. Henman just isn't up to it.However, I do think that the English media will come round if Murray were to win Wimbledon, or any other major for that matter.

Paranoid Android Posted June 30, 2006 Report Share Posted June 30, 2006 Murray's biggest mistake was expecting the media and public to take what he said in the light hearted way he meant it. But really it's been made into a bigger deal than it really is. Most English tennis fans still want Andy Murray to win, there's no bitterness that Henman never won Wimbledon, they both represent Britain and that's how most people see it. Unfortunately because of the mentality of some scots they use the situation of Henman, a very good tennis player, running out of form at the end of his career and Murray showing great potential as a point superiority for Scotland over England.

Scootray Posted June 30, 2006 Report Share Posted June 30, 2006 Tim Henman may be a professional tennis player, but I wouldn't rate him as very good. Murray has shown more potential than Henman ever had which I think is great for the sport. Finally a British player who can rise to the challenge.
