Stuart Lyon Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 Murray's Grandfather played for Hibs so that's the connection.

Beverley Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 wasn't it the case that murray trained with hibs for 5 minutes as a kid, and was deemed good enough to be a player but had to choose football or tennis?? personally, i can't see the harm. if they want to invite him, fair play. no different to us after all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Bilel Mohsni Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 It's getting harder and harder to just have a harmless and churlish pop at Hibs on here these days... He's a fantastic tennis player, kudos... He's also a Hibs supporter and with Hibs being both our local rivals and a pile of shite, I think that justifies people having a wee pop, no?

Don Draper Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 Pretty sure it's the grandfather played for them. Think his grandfather was on their books as a youth player.

Guest Bilel Mohsni Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 A pop at something though. Is that what it's got to, we have a pop at them inviting a supporter to ground to celebrate his sporting achievement??? Just a little bit sad if you ask me. If its just going to be a thread every time hibs do something in nothing well were becoming a little bit sad and obsessed with everything. I thought that was what we laughed at them about. Everybody knows it is a great achievement Beej, no-one is denying that. He is a fantastic player. Fact remains though that he has been invited to the home of not only our local rivals but also one of the shittest top-flight teams in the country. Dunno about anyone else but after being really pleased with his achievement, I am now in the mood for having a good old laugh at how pish his football club are, where's the harm in that.

Bert Le Clos Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 Utter lunacy from Petrie like. Inviting a Hibs fans to Hibs stadium having just won Olympic gold and the US Open? I bet that drives the crowds away because he's apparently not a real Hibs fan He never goes to Easter Road though? I suspect that devoting every weekend while he was at school to tennis training, moving to Madrid when he was 15 to pursue a tennis career, then globetrotting all year round on his way to reaching world # 2 and winning a Grand Slam might have something to do with that. I bet he's looking at his gold medal and his fresh $1.9m in the bank thinking "I wish I'd been at Easter Road to see Chick Charnley catch that ball and get sent off, so I could call myself a real supporter." Hibs are a shower of pathetic shite, but you can't blame them for trying to coax him into making an appearance. If the team he supports had been Hearts we'd be clamouring on here for him to make an appearance even if he wasn't there to witness Mark De Vreis' debut.

Prince Buaben Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 Sure i remember Murray on Soccer Am a few years ago in his Barca strip saying that he had a Season ticket for the Nou Camp. When pushed on what scottish he supported it was hibs because his Grandad played for them. By the way good ploy from petrie jumping on the Murray bandwagon although can't see him going to Easter Road. Also wasnt he training with Rangers when he had to choose 'football' or 'tennis' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tommy Wiseau Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 If we can parade Olympic semi-finalist Eilidh Child around Tynie, I think they can probably get away with inviting Britain's first tennis slam winner in 3/4 of a century, no?

Pants Shaton Posted September 12, 2012 Author Share Posted September 12, 2012 You would think so Tommy, but it's a bit tricky for the hard of thinking to get their heads around that one. The simple facts are that he went to Easter Rd a couple of times as a kid and enjoyed it so much that when asked what team he supports he says Barcelona. Failure sickens him and I therefore presume he views his weak affiliation with Hibernian with shame and regret. Hibs can attempt to latch on to his success - but their overtures will go unnoticed.
