bookerman Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 So proud of the lad for coming out like this when he knows the crap he about to recvie. In other news our Davis cup team is almost complete cause Colin Fleming came out as a yes too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bristolhibby Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 Well done Andy. A brave decision to come out for Yes. We all remember the shit he got for joking about Paraguay. Fantastic - considering his career is relied upon by the elite of London and Wimbledon. Thing is, win Wimbledon and he can pretty much say what he likes. We all knew that he was a Yes from day one.

Pool Q Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 I didn't, and I've met him quite a few times (long story, my sister-in-law used to be Judy Murray's doubles partner back in 19oatcake). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 No need for him to do this..but huge respect to him. Putting his beliefs before his career. His career? He's a multi multi millionaire. It won't have any influence on his career IMO. It's the same as all the other celebs who have come out in favour of one side or the other. After it's all over they'll all clear off to their tax havens and sip their champagne while the rest of Scotland deals with the aftermath of the vote.

irnbruman Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 Disagree dave. For certain he will not enjoy the support he currently has from the little englanders. Possible loss of sponsorsbip. Of course he doesnt need the money but he will incur the wrath of many. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rossy Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 Daily Mail is hilarious....they have an article calling independence supporters 'thugs', and then they allow (encourage) the most disgusting abuse about Murray. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course he doesnt need the money but he will incur the wrath of many. I'd be amazed if he lost sponsors. If anyone left him he'd quickly be snapped up by another company. The tennis fans at Wimbledon are all sensible enough not to care! If Rory Mac can declare for the Republic in the golf and still turn up in the wee six counties without incident then Andy Murray will be ok. I'm a big tennis fan and also a big fan of Andy Murray and really couldn't give a toss if he's a yes or a no man. I'll still be hoping he wins more majors.

thplinth Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 (edited) The first this happened Andy was yet to win a major now has multiple including the big one. Plus an Olympic champion. Edited September 18, 2014 by thplinth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hertsscot Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 Daily Mail is hilarious....they have an article calling independence supporters 'thugs', and then they allow (encourage) the most disgusting abuse about Murray. And they had the cheek to call the SNP the seriously nasty party!

If you were a true tennis fan you would know that those "fans" who tend to pitch up at Wimbledon to watch British players are clueless about tennis beyond a two week home tournanent. They don't share the same perceptions as actual tennis fans - they are largely a Last Night at the Proms brigade. If you asked centre court during a British player's match who had won the French Open or what the ATP meant they would not have a clue.

Armchair Bob Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 He'll never have to buy a pint in Scotland again. And if he doesn't drink, he'll never have to put his hand in his pocket for sushi in any pub in Scotland I am in, anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
