Just like the English, Welsh or Northern Irish, Scots regard it as a great achievement to be selected for the British team, and even more of an achievement to win a medal.
Actually, that would be Djokovic, who also reached the semis this Wimbledon.
Djokovic is number 3 in the world, has a slam (the Australian Open) and has more career titles than Murray (17 to 14). Same age as Murray as well (well, just a week younger).
Djokovic is the incoming (as of next Monday) number 2, after Berdych knocked Federer out.
When Henman made the semi's do you think people in scotland had him plastered over their papers and put flags and bunting up to support that great britain ? please lol

The age thing is less relevant though - it is how long they have been pro for, which is 2 years longer for Djokovic than Murray, therefore it kinda makes sense he's done more.

He's still currently better than Murray and the rankings are showing that.

Actually, you will find you've quoted a post from last year, when Murray was indeed 3rd in the World
Murray being interviewed as to why Wimbledon is important "Because its a Grand Slam"..........there you have it, it means no more to him than any other Grand Slam
Any updates on how many times 'Lawro' has changed his mind this week?
I want to win it for myself, the guys I work with and for the UK. I'm a little bit more disappointed than other Grand Slams because this one is the biggest of the year for me.

There are certain parts of the country where red, white and blue bunting and Union flags are up all the time and yes, Henman was plastered all over the papers up here as well.
Haven't read this thread so it's probably already been discussed but had to laugh to myself at The Sun today/yesterday (it's now 1.20am!) The day before Murray lost they had a 20 point list as to why he's very 'English' therefore it's ok to support him, the day after he lost the sub-headline was 'och ay the noo' and the article began "SCOTTISH Tennis ace Andy Murray..." with typical references to Braveheart, etc etc. LOL! sigh.

Anyway
That shows that you are talking shite.

Yes, he picked Brazil, so has now changed his mind, but as you such an avid follower of my posts, you will know that. Nice to have a few fans, thanks.
I'm English and I don't hate Andy Murray. (Just for the record).
And I'm Scottish and I wanted to see Tim Henman win Wimbledon, though admittedly I never had a lot of confidence that he would so so.
There is some terribly ill-informed stuff on this thread from people who know little or nothing about Scotland or the Scots, who have presumably never visited the place but have picked up some half-baked notions from somewhere. Frankly, I'm surprised at the depth of their ignorance and prejudice and the degree of their hostility. It all seems very odd.
The best summary of the situation was given by Midnight Falcon a few days ago:
It's funny how the scottish are so vicious in there hate for anything english, but can't understand it when it's the other way
.Although i have never had a problem with any socttish person ive met. my brother came home from a holiday in glasgow early because even though it was his girlfriends family he stayed with they did'nt like the english and they certainly made him know they did'nt like the english.

Bit of a generalistion isn't it?
I'm not like that and neither are the overwhelming majority of people I know.
Andy Murray is on James Cordens show now, and comes across as the nice bloke I've previously seen. Not at all surly or arrogant etc, and he has explained the joke about the English.

Still, maybe we can now forget this nonsense for another year.
