A buddy of mine's catchphrase is 'Even the Scottish hate Andy Murray'. Could this be true ?

I wouldn't think so.
I imagine they are very proud of him. |
|
By:
A lot of nonsense spoken about Andy.
Well liked and respected in Scotland. Comes across as dour at times but that's not what his friends say about him. Great sportsman and great ambassador. |

^ correct

Banned Foie Gras from his restaurant. Says a lot about the man.

|
By:
Indeed, Kenny.

I notice wee Jimmy Merkel in the Royal box.. No doubt she'll be waving her Saltire knickers at the camera when he wins.
|

By:
I always knew he had all the shots in his locker from an early stage, but I think the heat in Australia, America, France used to beat him first.

Fantastic front page from the Sunday Mail today.
Picture of Andy hovering over Wimbledon superman style with the caption We need a hero. |
|
By:
The greatest Scottish sportsman ever, we love him.
|
|
By:
^ Up there with King Kenny and Stephen Hendry then
 |
|
By:
Us male Scots "like" Andy and I guess some our gurrrrls would like to love him.
Generally speaking, he is popular up here. Aye. |
|
By:
GGGTTTTTTTTtt
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFf IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIiiiii |
|
By:
He's not English.
so we like him. |
|
By:

Fookin' love the guy -- only Scottish sportsmen to compare are Jim Clark and Ken Buchanan.
|
|
By:
Chris Hoy, Eric Liddell, Jackie Stewart?
|
|
By:
These were better men :
Billy Bremner Gordon Strachan |
|
By:
Well, I was thinking...Jim Clark was PERHAPS the greatest racing driver ever, as Senna certainly thought he was...Andy Murray has competed in the greatest tennis era ever...so those two are on a different level imo...Ken Buchanan gave as good as he got against possibly the greatest pound-for-pound fighter ever...so...

I was reading his life story recently and was shocked at how close he had come to being a victim himself on the day that 16 pupils and a teacher were slaughtered in the Dunblane massacre.
Both him and his brother were pupils there and Andy was actually on his way to the gym when the shooting started. He rarely mentions the events but must be haunted by it. |
|
By:
To answer the original question. They do now!
|
|
By:
Benny Lynch, Dennis Law, James Braid, Tom Morris, Bobby Thomson, Willie Carson, Jackie Stewart, Shanks, John Cattanach the list is endless.
Murray up there with them but never the greatest, not yet anyway. |
|
By:
Yeah...but...Mightymac...
|
|
By:
You would have to qualify those early golfers, as only aboot 8 Scotchmen
 and their dugs were playing with featheries n hickories...Carson was not as good as Lester or Cauthen...Dennis Law and the rest won FOOK ALL in dark blue jerseys...and I'm gonna have to google John Cattenach... |

Shinty?

Greatest Shinty player EVER in the world. A true legend.

Bobby Thomson was a huge star and done something Murray will never achieve, conquered America. He was so good they erected a statue in his honour
|
|
By:
But was the world not restricted to Oban and Fort William then.
|
|
By:
.... anyway, I`m off to the pub to celebrate, cheers
 |
|
By:
done something Murray will never achieve, conquered America.
Does the US Open not count? |
|
By:
I'm off out shortly too. A nice walk then back home.
|
|
By:
Bobby Thomson was kinda one-off freaky, like getting a hole-in-one at Arnold Palmer's Pro-shot golf...while blindfold and using a bit of rolled up silver foil as a ball...
|
|
By:
What a silly thread. Everyone loves Andy Murray
 |
|
By:
stop trying to pinch him.
like the oil. |
|
By:
you shouldn't have to like him Scottish or otherwise. if you think he's a boring dour **** then that's your prerogative.
|
|
By:
Always good to see a bloke from Surrey doing well. So kind of him to acknowledge how wonderful our Prime Minister is!
|
|
By:
He's OK for a hibby and as he annoys the little Ingerlanders then I'd have to like him.
 |
|
By:
He's a very decent bloke. I wish him every success.
|
|
By:
Andy is great, its his mother that annoys me.
