He could refuse to play for a team that isn't his country. Bit of a silly comment, his sport doesn't really have a Scottish team element, so what is he going to do miss the Olympics & Davis Cup? Come on. While I don't think signing about Andy Murray is anything but a bit of fun to wind up the English, some of the comments on here are hilarious. "No place for it", "only sing songs that are relevant to the sport", "get behind the team" blah blah blah, these are comments from the same roasters who prob think Do a Deer (one of the most embarrassing songs ever sang at a football match) is still a top class football anthem. The atmosphere at Scotland games is absolutely dire home & away these days, our songs are mainly garbage & the sooner people realise that and stop trying to hang on to the 'good old days' & do something different the better.

Great achievement from Murray, especially given the quality and consistency of Djokovic over the last few years, but its probably a measure of how far our football team has sunk that there are people considering singing songs about him at a football. Fair enough but what the hell has a song from 'The Sound of Music' to do with getting behind the team or backing Scotland. At least Murray has that Scottish connection whereas Sound of Music's lead star was English. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Folk who give him stick for competing under the only flag he is able to need to get a grip. Especially when he has openly said he would have voted for independence. Andy Murray is probably the greatest Scottish sportsman there has ever been. He's competed with 3 of the finest tennis players in history and through a mix of immense talent, determination to succeed and an incredible work rate, he's won 3 major titles, the Olympics, the Davis Cup, 14 Masters titles (the 9th most in history) and has inspired so many kids to play tennis. Allied to that he seems a genuinely decent bloke, articulate on many subjects (whether it be doping in sport or constitutional politics), a fine team mate and despite bursting on the scene at about 17 and having to deal with a lot of stick (after saying he wanted England to lose at football...) he's someone who's got his head firmly screwed on. He's my sporting hero, without a shadow of a doubt. I'm sure he is for so many folk in this country. A guy who comes from just 15 miles away from me is the best in the world at one of the world's biggest and most popular sports, how cool is that?!?! Absolutely spot on. Post of the thread.

Radian Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 The narrow mindedness "ah he play for GB" wow! Scotland only country surely who look for reasons to hate their own people. I'm at a loss to describe how embarrassing that is, Idiots! Scotlands greatest sportsman. Even the nationalists of the SNP don't come up with this nonsense and are fans just a few of the warped disciples have lost their way.....

Caledonian Craig Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 Plus Murray is known to be pro-independence whilst another Scot lauded on here and not criticized is Sir Alex who is a staunch unionist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some people don't care. I know plenty of nationalists that are ar$eholes and plenty unionists that are good guys and vice-versa, not that I really know, as it's not something I identify folk by.

Yes I suppose it all depends what side of the fence you are on. The comment is relevant here though as many posters earlier try to paint him in an unfavourable and unpatriotic light which is way off the mark. He is pro-independence and fought for a tennis academy to be built near Stirling and owns hotel in Dunblane, married in Dunblane and his family all still live there.

YNWA at Celtic, Penny Arcade (?) at Rangers, Delilah at Stoke, I am sure there are plenty more. While I do think its well past its sell by date If you don't understand the meaning of DAD to Scotland fans then, well you weren't there. Sometimes things can just "be" without any logical reason.

Andy Murray is a proud Scotsman and we should be proud of him. should we sing about him at Wembley?!? who knows as it doesn't seem relevant however if it winds up " them " then let's do it "Henman was a c0ck and the other bloke was .... Canadian" might not catch on tho ? This in a nutshell. Well said. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
