I'd knight any coach driver who can manage central Paris and all of the tourist spots ?. Bloomin amazing ?Personally i dont thimk anyone should get knighted just for being good at sport, its their job at the end of the day. Am I going to get knighted for being good at driving coaches? Bit bloody unlikely...
As is running a Bank, Supermarket chain or many other 'trades'!Personally i dont thimk anyone should get knighted just for being good at sport, its their job at the end of the day. Am I going to get knighted for being good at driving coaches? Bit bloody unlikely...
There's no reason for him to be disillusioned! He won it/it got 'stolen' from him, so more incentive, imo, to win it next year! He's allowed to pseudo-sulk in his mansion in his tax-free haven, with his zillions of earnings etc until next season though!Maybe a separate ‘honours thread’ is warranted ?
Meantime, back in F1, it is reported that Lewis is disillusioned with things and considering his options for next year. Maybe some time away would be beneficial, although I suspect this would be interpreted as sulking and “toys out of pram“ stuff. If he took a year out, what would be the impact on F1, and on his standing ?
Why not?
So? Hamilton achieved something only one other driver in history had achieved. Murray has never even been in the top 3 tennis players in his own era.
Should a (top) banker? Lawyer? Politician?He's doing what he gets paid gazillions for.
No sportsman should be knighted just for doing their job fantastically well.
Should a (top) banker?
You are either avoiding the question or are too stupid to understand it!Should a banker what?
You are either avoiding the question or are too stupid to understand it!
Your choice as to which one, but I believe I'v made my point!
I'll have a small one of what you appear to be on thanks!
So, they are correct in their assumptions, and here was me giving someone the benefit of the doubt!
...
Bankers certainly get knighted during their career. My old 'top boss' (I was nowhere near his level) got a gong that was subsequently withdrawn. Another equivalent boss of a bank I worked at was recently knighted! And there's certainly others!...
Oh, and I can't believe anyone would ask whether someone thinks bankers should possibly get knighthoods just for doing their job, but there's always one!
Utter Twaddle!...Murray has never even been in the top 3 tennis players in his own era.
I don't think he meant world ranking. More that there were better players ahead of him. Like Nadal, Federer and djocovic.Utter Twaddle! He was never out of 'Top3' in 2016 - started #2; ended #1! 2015 wasn't bad either! #3 or #2 from early April to end of Year!
In his own era, he was at best 4th. Who cares if he jumped up into top 3 for brief spells, due to a purple patch, or injuries to other players. He will clearly never be considered a better player overall that Federer, Nadal or Djokivic.Utter Twaddle!

That lazy argument again, it is the car doing all the work. Fair enough, Messi is not even close to being one of the greatest footballers, as he played for one of the best teams of all time.Murray was world ranked No.1 .......................... in his own era.
Hamilton uses machinery, the best there is, Murray used a tennis raquet that you or I could use.
Subtle difference.
That may be your opinion, but this link indicates otherwise! https://www.coretennis.net/tennis-player/andy-murray/279/ranking.htmlIn his own era, he was at best 4th.
