Andy Murray and his blog

[euan]

Good to see it's not just our forum that has the England v Scotland debate. Andy Murray made an off the cuff remark when asked who he was supporting in the world and replied "Anyone but England" and this is the abuse he gets. He has since taken it back, but then nobody gave the Scotish First Minister such abuse. All because he has a forum that people can put in their two bit nonsense on. Gets a bit much when they say I hope you lose and your leg stops you playing.

The kids 19, he's proud of where he comes from, leave him alone. So what if he wears a Scotland sweatband? David Coultard has a saltire on his helmet but nobody bats an eyelid, just like Button has a cross on his. So what?

I could vent some more on it, but I won't.

Oh dear dear dear. Have you read what some of them have said re Dunblane and the school kids now that has got to be the sickest thing to date yet.;):p

For us folks from Dunblane that was a day that we all got affected in some way either a neighbour or a member of our family for me it was family and it makes me sick to the stomach reading that.

Just tops my week that does.

My goodnesss, is it any wonder we have the attitude we do:disapprove:

what you have to remember is, this is the internet; 99% of people posting those comments/messages on forums and message boards will never have to come face to face with who or what they are ranting about. Why would they hold back on anything, plus given the attention it has created it will only attract the most racist of racist individuals to go and spread their "poison". Nonetheless, some of what has been said is simply out of order!

The debate over this would never end, it would have to be and agree to disagree situation 8)

Col, I don't have any problem with Murray being proud of being Scottish, but his comment about anyone but the English was a pretty daft one to make given he's actually had a lot of support from the South. Still he's only young probably didn't realise.

The comments made on his blog though are completely out of order, and I don't agree with the backlash. I'll still support him just in the same way that'll I'll wish Wales and Scotland well in the football, as long as they aren't playing England that is.....

Someone on his site mae the point, "Why isn't this site moderaterd by his management?" Fair question if you ask me.
