I don't get your point.... a Scotsman had NEVER won the mens singles... so that's erm, 13.7 billion years waiting
77 years is nothing in comparison. I'm sure we don't mind waiting a bit longer for a true Englishman to win but for the moment we're pretty happy for Murray and his achievement, Brit or Scot we're happy for him. He did a top job against the world No1 when it mattered.

Not wanting to get embroiled in the Scotland v England nonsense on this thread but this, of course, is incorrect!
Harold Mahoney a mere 117 years ago! And some other bloke yesterday! :whoo:

Beat me to it Dodger!
Some of our noisy neighbours are starting to sound desperate... to be expected.
But.....the vast majority are happy to celebrate a truly great British win.
Did you see Lord Soapy pathetically trying to wave the Saltire, new low for him.

The problem is the bitter minority who were praying Murray would lose, now that he's won and proved them wrong they are desperately trying to rubbish his achievement.
He spanked Djokovic in straight sets, and is undoubtedly one of the 3 best players in the world.
I see nobody has mentioned the £1.6 million pounds prize money he donated to the Royal Marsden hospital either.

Smashing viewing and credit to both but glad the result was the one I hoped for
Shame about the slow play though! C'mon guys it'll kill any interest from the youngsters in taking up the game

Wow, some real chips on shoulders in here eh?
Why not just enjoy the moment, rather than your first thought be to have a snipe at an entire nation on an Internet forum.

Aye disgraceful stuff......should have flown the Union Flag or worse still the St Georges.

Apparently this rumour is untrue!
You din't seem to be able to believe everything you read in t'internet!
I believe he did add his winnings from Queens to the £140k that was raised there though! :clap:

Lacking a bit of dignity for a serious politician IMO, especially with Cameron sitting in front of him..
If he waved it with a bit of conviction instead of his limp wristed version I might have been more impressed.

BBC radio newsperson got it wrong and the rest of the UK seemed to think it was true.

A tactfully put and accurate statement.
I thought Salmond looked like an insane clown on the run from the flag police.
If Obama was seen waving the stars and stripes at a sporting occasion would there be a fuss?
If Cameron was seen waving a UF or a SGC at a sporting occasion would there be a fuss?
Only in Scotland eh, only in Scotland.

I think if it was a SGC... Yes...
