Pumped out of Olympics in first round from some unknown Chinese Taipie player in straight sets.  He can be British this week then!!

Hoors drawers

Djokers looks fucked, och ya stoater he's only 5 points away from it now.  Come on!

This is fucking mental.

C'mon Murray, almost there!!!!!

 

C'MON MURRAY! One more game!

Had a dew Glenmorangies, I'll be having another one and staying up for the interviews in a minute.

 

might cry later.

 

Come on you Andy.

Fucking gamesmanship cunt.

Fucking have it

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaasssssssssssss!

 

HISTORY!

Fucking fantastic, always knew he'd do it.  Chuffed to bits.

 

Rocket and the haters and get it right up them tonight! 

Yaasss fucking well done big man! That was well worth staying up for!

Hopefully Andy asks him what his real name is!

So that could be Scotland's greatest sporting achievement?  Only the likes of Jim Clark and Jackie Stewart can rival that surely.

Paul Lawrie.

Wow that was fantastic -  an amazing, incredible tennis match

 

Allan Wells in Moscow, Aberdeen Fc in Gothenburg and now Andy Murray in New York 

 

That was totally worth staying up for 

 

76 years from now, overweight, tattooed men in council estate pubs will sit boozing and talking shite whilst proudly wearing overpriced Andy Murray polo shirts.

Aberdeen in Gothenburg.

 

Tims in Lisbon.

 

Sandy Lyle - Augusta, Player's Championship and The Open all within a few years of each other.

 

It is a great achievement though, hope it's the first of many for him. Seems to have a different attitude with Lendl as his coach.

Resilience, staying power and less emotion.

Now is his time to really break the dominance of the Djoker-Fed-Nadal triumverate.

Best player in the world at this precise moment, needs to look at what Djokovic in the early part of last year and use that as inspiration.

Pwoud, vewy pwoud!

The appointment of Lendl has been a masterstroke and the progress has been there for all to see. I still can't believe what I witnessed last night. What a summer of sport it's been!

I see from the news he is British again

 

Re Scottish sporting greats i would add Steven Hendry to that

Fantastic Summer for British Sport, capped off nicely by Mr (soon to be Sir) Andy Murray

Is it just me who finds it ridiculous anyone under the age of about 50 and especially anyone still actively competing in their sport being knighted.

Of course the whole thing is a farce but that's a separate discussion

Agreed, Chris Hoy got it far too early IMHO.

 

This year's SPOTY is going to be hard to find a winner!

The highlight of my holiday! Me and my mate took the night off from theme parks to watch the final. Fuck me what a roller coaster that was! (no pun intended).

 

I was utterly convinced that he'd fucked it when he squandered a 2 set lead but Murray showed mental strength that I didn't know he had. The defeat from Federer at Wimbledon and the gold medal win has given him self confidence. How far he goes now is entirely up to him. He's a better player than Djokovic and should now work to assert himself as a top 3 player. Nadal will be a real rival when fit and Federer still is but he wont be around for too much longer surely so I don't see why Murray shouldn't aim to be world no 1 soon.
