Heres hoping the English hating Jock gets beaten....I cant do with him, remember folks it was Murray who said he didnt care who won as long as it wasnt england, or something like that.

And who gives a shit?

well you do cos you replied .....waggy 1 nondo 0

Your response to Nando's reply, to me, makes it seem like you only posted the original post to wind people up and force a response. Aka Trolling.

Bloody hell, not that you hold a grudge or anything...... Let it go man. It must be weary having to dislike everything all the time.

Not true Langy, but I dont like murray, hes a very good player, but his anti english comments could have been described as racist...

 

[Stan Hullis]

Oh and Waggy for the avoidance of doubt...

At rugby I support Wales and whoever plays England. The whole Paraguay shirt thing was totally blown out of proportion and it is about time people forgot it and let Murray get on with winning tennis matches.

Racialist.

Shocking behaviour from an Englishman.

Not trolling, just giving my opinion, even though WH doesnt like us having an opinion

i did not force any response, i did not have nando in a half nelson until he replied, he replied by choice, trying to wind me up and force a responsae

I qualify for both countries as you know.

Being born in China doesn't make you a Chinaman. I think we may have discussed this before. Not sure, but I have this nagging familiarity about the conversation.

I know where this is heading...nice knowing you folks

 

[Stan Hullis]

It isn't heading anywhere Waggy.

so why pick on me ...2 minutes in the job and you pick on the easy target

 

[Stan Hullis]

How long I have been a moderator isn't really relevant.

I'm also not picking on you, I was just highlighting (in my opinion) where I thought you were trolling this thread/forum. I haven't made any threats to ban you, or give you an infraction, or anything else.

Well I for one hope that Murray beats Djokovic and then goes on to win it by beating Nadal in a 5 set thriller. But unfortunately, I don't think it will happen. Murray has the misfortune of playing in the same era as probably the 2 greatest players the game has ever known, and Djokovic could quite easily be heading towards being number 3 on the list. Murray's a great player and in another era would undoubtedly have won at least 1 Grand Slam tournament already. As it is, he could go through his entire career without ever winning one because of the 3 players ahead of him in the rankings.

I'm pissed off because I haven't had chance to watch any of this tournament. Stupid timings and work. And I quite agree with you Toon - it'd be such a shame if he never won one - and it wouldn't be because he isn't good enough to win a Grand Slam, just that - unfortunately - he's not as good as the other 3 who are all simply incredible tennis players.

Oh yes.....we have definitely had this conversation!

Predictable trolling from Waggy! So what if Murray doesn't support the English national football team - he's Scottish ffs! The English do exactly the same right back.

This will be a close semi final. Djokovic isn't playing his best tennis and Murray is looking very solid. I think Djok will edge it but it will be close, Murray has every chance of winning it though, I will be supporting him as a fellow Brit.

 

[lemonjelly]

a break down in the first set already, sadly...

 

[lemonjelly]

Murray gets his serve broken in the first game of the 2nd set.

Big uphill from here...

 

[lemonjelly]

Stepping it up against the 2nd serve though. Really pressuring Djokovic in the 4th game of this set. Just won an excellent point.

 

[lemonjelly]

Gets a break back! Mammoth game - over 10 mins long. Lots of deuces.
Come on son, you've shown you can do it now!!!!

He's got a chance - Djokovic is vulnerable on his 2nd serve. Which is adding pressure onto his first serve.
