    Erm, don't want to sound like a "whinging Scot" but, I think the tone of some of these messages is a wee bit, erm, almost, racist-sounding.

    "whining jock", "he may be Scottish, but at least he's still in", "supported the frog" etc

    Maybe I'm just being an over-sensitive whining jock myself, but I'd really rather not read comments like these on the normally good-natured and friendly MSE boards.

    Feel free to ignore my ill-natured Scottish whinging ...

    I wasnt meaning to be offensive when I said that he may be Scottish and still being in, I don't see any other Brits playing do you?

    Anyway he's certainly in with a chance tomorrow especially if he can win the first set.

    As for Murray whining, I think that Gasquet did more of that using up challenges willy nilly and complaining at 8.30pm that it was dark when it wasn't.

    Because he's Scottish (British) or because your Spanish? :confused:
    I'm not Spanish ... I just happen to like Nadal and the way he plays and behaves on court !!!! Murray made a great comeback and played a fantastic game. I just hate it when he makes such a big point of reminding everyone that he's Scottish not British.. as if being British is bad in some way ?
    I am English / British but I still cheer Scotland on in Rugby and Football !!!!

    It'll be even more entertaining when he's crushed by Nadal.
  • When will people learn that good natured banter between nations is not racialism????

    I'm not british either!!! I'm English, lol!

    I think Murray did well considering. He did play the longest match in Wimbledon history on Monday night and he did look rather tired today which is hardly surprising. At least he will learn something from this match and come back next year even stronger and better.:D

    You could say that I am a mongrel - I have all sorts of blood flowing through my veins. I support Wales when they play rugby when they play against England, when England are playing France then I'll support them and the same goes for Ireland and Scotland:D
