Tennis : Andy Murray

[Axls Locomotive]

Congratulations to Scotsman Andy Murray for winning the ATP tournament beating Leyton Hewitt...he has the talent to go all the way

[axl_rose_700]

why when a good british player is english does he always get called british but when he's a sweaty sock he gets called scottish all the time

[Jim]

And let's not forget that he beat Roddick in the semi's.

I watched the final, it was pretty funnny, he clearly had no idea what to do when he won.

It's like when a goalkeeper scores a goal...

They just don't prepare themselves for something like that. 

Congratulations to him. 

-

Err...Scottish? Well, he is. Henman is 'English', Rusedski is...'Canadian.' 

You don't just ignore that, but you will find that 9 times out of 10 in tournament play he will be labelled British...

It always happens.



Well done Andrew

There's a tennis thread already? ?

http://www.heretodaygonetohell.com/board/index.php?topic=22069.0


Yes, this guy seems pretty good. I already talked about him last year. He's not ready yet for bigger tournaments, but I think he'll finish in the top 20 this year.

Dude, didn't we tell you in the staff meeting?

In this section, it's Anarchy baby!!

 


Just kidding, you're banned William...Whatever you're calling yourself these days.

Or, should I say,

Locked!

But, ach, I cannot.

I must've missed that memo...

[Jim]

Memo? You missed the meeting you damn fool!

And now you're off topic.

This won't do,

this won't do at all.

You know the songs. Go listen to them!

[Evolution]

Mod Fight! Mod Fight!

[Jim]

Evo, stay out of this.

We could have you killed.

[Ignatius]

This is not the work envirorment I was expecting Jim.

I may hand in my resignation to Jarmo's later today. The pay is not worth it?

(now I gotta get back to work, for real)

[Hammy]

You 2 are powerless down this end of the board aren't ya?

[Jim]

You 2 are powerless down this end of the board aren't ya?

Ha, well, actually,


yes. Yes we are.


As for a resignation, didn't anybody tell you? This job is for life. As in, if you leave it, they take yours.

Go on, now get yeself back to work.

And as for you two, get back to the wrestling thread. Don't make me chase you out of here with a broom.

Ahem,

nothing to see here.

wHat about in the olympics If an English man won the 100 Metres Gold?,He would be labelled  British Would you be proud to call him that?

no not really, in most cases british is synonymous with english anyway, i see people using it all the time...very few people outside of britain have an appreciation that britain is 4 countries not 1...

i dont like the term and i dont recognise the british state...i have plenty of other reasons but none of them relevant to the sport section

so to me the englishman is english, nothing else...and I am Scottish and very much proud of it

[Sweet s]

I respect that I think it's cool that we all have our different Identity's

[CAFC Nick]

Andy Murray is Scottish when he loses and British when he wins...

GO ON TIM!!!

Agree with you, what annoys me is that most of the time Scots n Welsh etc can call themselves by their seperate identities whereas English get labelled British.

Also, at football matches why do scotland and wales get their own anthem whereas england uses god save the queen. Liz is queen of great britiain so either all teams should use it or none, Eng should use Jerusalem

i understand what you mean but there are a good percentage of scots call themselves british...most call themselves scottish...why blame scots ? you are aiming your frustration at the wrong target...shouldnt you be against pro-british rather than anti-scottish or whatever? ...

anyways english=british is self inflicted because of arrogance...and those that blame other countries within the union because they cannot call themselves english is amusing...do people tell you not to say english? do you say english? do you switch between british and english when its convenient? the reason you hear it all the time is because of the media, and the media is 90% english based...

id love england to use jerusalem, it would get rid of that anti scottish piece of crap called god save the queen

and as far as i am aware queen elizabeth is queen in all the commonwealth countries...do you expect them to all use the same anthem?

anyways scots are doing well at the commonwealth games, 6th in the medals table

I don't blame the Scots fopr doing it, good on em. I blame the Media who think that its racist to call yourself English.

I always use English, whenever I get a form with a tick box for nationalities I always tick other and write English.

I don't expect everyone to use the same anthem, I just think if everyone is having their own why shouldn't England.

And in your opinion why is God Save the Queen Anti-Scottish?

[2NaFish]

Lord grant that Marshal Wade
May by thy mighty aid
Victory bring.
May he sedition hush,
And like a torrent rush,
Rebellious Scots to crush.
God save the Queen!


Thats the 6th verse of God Save The Queen.

Fair enough, although when it was written they were rebellious little fuckers 

[Evolution]

They had to be! Your boys were banning bagpipes and taking over the country!

[axl_rose_700]

Good on em!

I think we need to rebuild Hadrian's Wall 

[axl_rose_700]

I think we need to rebuild Hadrian's Wall?

Go 4 it, seriously though, economically,. apart from a few parts of big cities Scotland would be fucked without SE England.

As would the rest of the Uk besides Leeds!

Us up north would be fine 

[axl_rose_700]

You rekon?

Aye, not many English folk make the trip when you can go to places like The Lake District or Yorkshire in your own backyard.


It is worth the trip though

Back on topic though, The home nations are doing very well at the Commonwealths.

agreed on the media...good on you calling yourself english...i applaud it...

in a strange sort of way we actually agree on most things...

id rather not pay homage to queen elizabeth 2nd in any way...waste of money

Go 4 it, seriously though, economically,. apart from a few parts of big cities Scotland would be fucked without SE England.

i seriously doubt that..scotland would have its own tv stations and media, major companies base themselves in mid england because its a central location for distribution etc...plus we have plenty of trade outwith the UK...anyways this is turning politics

scotland, more medals please

[axl_rose_700]

Yea it is, just 1 last thing, that aint me saying that, i read a report on it

How are England doin in the commonwealths?
