He gave his all in what could be his last match. Some lovey tributes from fellow players. He's done us proud over the years

[Rockrose]

OMG well done on being English

[retrocop]

Thank you

[ummmm]

The Irish say things like that in jest...

[Rockrose]

What did he say that was so bad?

[Baldric]

Now, how can I put this, . . . He is not Irish, is he?

[retrocop]

Really Ummm
I doubt Mr Murray could spell jest let alone crack his face.

[Rockrose]

Come on then what was this outrageous thing he said that’s got you all riled up and polishing the pitchforks

To get riled up about things like that is beyond short-sighted. The best British tennis player for generations before and to come, and you don't like him because he can be a bit grumpy on court and made a joke about England football once.

[-Talbot-]

In all honesty, as he was getting stick about Scotland not even being at the world cup...what else would you expect as an answer?

And he married an English woman.

[Sqad]

and he's a Scot ^^^^^^

Where jokes (or 'jokes') are concerned, context is everything … isn't it?

[Prudie]

May I say that I have never liked him and it has absolutely zero to do with what he joked about. Is that why others don't like him?

[Rockrose]

For Pete sake is that it?
Wow! Unfurl you’re knickers fellas and calm down

[Hopkirk]

Judy is now an established reality TV star, you won't get rid of her easily.

[retrocop]

When it backfires on you it suddenly becomes a joke. I didn't mean it Guv honest.

[Neveracrossword]

Prudie, thanks for that. I don't mind if people don't like Andy M (or David Beckham or … any cricketers whose names I don't know), but it seems slightly odd that some people cling on to old, fairly minor grievances.

[murraymints]

That's ma boy !! xx

[douglas9401]

Long memory Baldric? Some would doubt that after the performance last night. :-P

He is anti-English I have no doubt but I just don't like the lack of charisma and the sour faced scowl. He appears to me,imo, a dour faced individual that gives the Scots a bad name. That is my opinion and I don't need the chuckle sisters ganging up on an innocent post I made. I saw enough of their playground antics yesterday .
