Geoff Kilpatrick Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 How many people moaning about the lack of support Murray has in England supported Tim Henman out of interest?

crazy_jambo_2006 Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 Always supported Henman. Would support British sportsman over foreigner any day. No disrespect to foreigners. But I want British sport to succeed. I even supported Faldo at golf when he played +I dislike Faldo.

crazy_jambo_2006 Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 He didn't blame an injury. He said live on court Fed was best player ever. Am quite frankly baffled people would want a Scot/Brit to lose. If he gets leathered what's the betting that he blames it on some kind of mystery injury ? Its what he usually does isn't it ?

I hate the English football team as much as your average Scot however, there is a difference between sports in which we compete as separate nations and sports in which we are one unified country.

Hearts Heritage Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 .... The Andy Murray 'open top bus' reversing back into the garage.

h-e-a-r-t-s Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 I have played snooker with Stephen in the past and been round to his house. He is a sound guy. Some people dont like success it seems. people who haven't lived up to their own expectations don't like to see others do well. it's a shame but i suppose it's a logical defence mechanism.

It's a completely different sport and what team he supports has no relevance to his tennis,even if he is a knob it still would have been good to see him win the thing.

Das Root Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 Never had a chance. A hard game against Nadal, well won, but with Federer having a good rest before the final, just lost his No1 spot and Wimbledon, he was never going to play less than amazing and Murray just ain't there yet. Put in some decent shots though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I P Knightley Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 If he gets leathered what's the betting that he blames it on some kind of mystery injury ? Its what he usually does isn't it ? Erm...no. He has lost (in the past) 'cos he's injured and it's obvious to all; he's played on after chundering on the court and made no comment about it in the post-match interviews (although the press did, ahem, bring it up); he's taken gubbings when he may or may not have been unwell or less than top form due to fatigue but, in recent years he has never sat in a post-match and whinged or whined with excuses about losing. I stand to be corrected, but I think that there are two themes to his post-loss interviews: (1) The other guy played fantastically well (2) I'm going to go away and work on getting even better. You're maybe thinking of footballers who will blame everything but their own lack of ability when they take a horsing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The poll on JAMBOSkickback seems to suggest otherwise. Not got any mates who are Hibbies?! You're dislike for him due to his minor football allegiance is strange. And he's not torn-faced, just sets himself very high standards. People at the top do that, or so i believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I P Knightley Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 source? Who, me? If so, the source is my head where I store my memory. In this case, memories of post-match interviews and stuff. I'm not obsessive so don't make a point of recalling them verbatim but I do pay attention to the words and not just the dour, monotonous way in which he presents them. I accept that if you tune out the words, you'll get the impression that he's moaning but the words tell otherwise. He's not as gracious as Federer has been but then Fed doesn't tend to lose so much and can therefore afford that extra little bit of grace! Feel free to go to google and correct me if you find any interviews where Murray's blamed failure on some mystery injury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
h-e-a-r-t-s Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 People don't like him because he's a torn-faced Hibs ^^^^. What's so fecking difficult to understand about that ? You mean 'people' as in you? As in 'you the people'? As I said, I suspect 'people' who have in some way failed to reach their own expectations or have not achieved what they would have liked in their lives, find it impossible to enjoy the success of others. They may even make excuses to try to justify this to themselves, for example that 'he is a hobo' or 'he's a torn-faced c***'. Important to remember though that you're only kidding yourself. Remove this barrier and you will, like 90% on this board, revel in other's success. It's a liberating experience I assure you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mind you i was the same at his age as winning was everything. The old saying play to enjoy and not to win. Rubbish you play to win. As for being a hobo doubt he has ever seen them.

Jamboy81 Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 Federer was just too good. No shame in losing in those circumstances. Heartening though to see a Scottish talent able to compete with these players and be considered one of the world best. World number 4!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazy_jambo_2006 Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 Tennis has nowt to do with Hibs. Also Murray's lived in Barcelona for ages,so prob hasn't even seen hibs for ages. Also I fail to understand how him being a Hibby would stop people supporting him. He's a top British athlete. Surely that's more important than hating Hibs. People don't like him because he's a torn-faced Hibs ^^^^. What's so fecking difficult to understand about that ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
