Murray is a HIBS supporter, so he is OK as far as I''m concerned.
I think every Englishman living in Scotland saw through the Murray
joke right away. Supporting anyone v England is part of the culture up here.
Hate tennis. They should scrap that first service rule. To me it's like
being allowed to take a move back at chess.

ENGLAND:
Tim Henman was the best British player [English] for years.
Ronnie O'Sullivan is the most talented snooker player the world has ever seen[English]
England won the rugby world cup recently.
England 7 out of 7 wins in WC qualifying so far.
England recently won the ashes from the Aussies.
SCOTLAND:
ummmmmm.
They used to have a couple of reasonable snooker players and now they have Murray.....that's it.😛
Whether or not Murray wore the Paraguay shirt as a joke is immaterial... as a Blade I'd rather stick pins in my eyes rather than wear a W*dn*sd*y shirt... it's easy to say it was a joke now, but there's a saying 'much truth told in jest'...
Personally I have nothing against the Jocks, I have friends who are from north of the border... what irritates me, is that he now wants England to support him - he's nowt to do with this country as far as I'm concerned... and for the record, I don't consider myself British - I'm proud to be English!
The problem as someone already suggested is that our press like to 'claim' successful Jocks, Taffs and Paddy's as British... I'm happy for them to stay Welsh, Scottish and Irish...

Lol, they should erect statues, right in Stirling castle, beside Robert Bruce, one for Andy Murray, one for James McFadden and one for Angus young of AC/DC, all Scottish folk heroes!
I'll give you a clue............it's not Scotland!!! 😉

did you watch any of the last olympics? get the internet up as to make sure you weren't supporting a scot everyone you saw a 'british' person compete did you? of course not, they were flying your flag and you thought good for them.
admit that it's just because andy is a prat that you don't like him and not because he's scottish, that i could understand.
as you probably know i'm irish and we don't tend to like the english all that much but other than football i have no problems supporting an englishman unless i really dislike the person.

However, you make a valid point about him being a t*ss er, and I must admit that doesn't endear him to me!
