Title: Re: Tennis : Andy Murray Post by: Jim on February 21, 2006, 10:18:05 AM 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. ;D Congratulations to him. : ok: - 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...

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 Title: Re: Tennis : Andy Murray Post by: Axls Locomotive on March 23, 2006, 07:07:41 PM 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.

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?
