Murray clearly isn't comfortable in front of the camera. Even in that interview there he kept touching his face and looked as if he just wanted away. I feel people are very harsh on Murray because despite being a world class tennis player, he doesn't act like a comedian. With all that being said though I can understand why people don't care for him and wouldn't try and force anybody to like him, I just find it harsh.

You don't get a Great Britain in football or rugby or most other sports (Olympics aside). Murray is regarded as British, I see no reason why anybody from Britain shouldn't be allowed to cheer for him. Apparently us Scottish people are the ones with the complex but apparently not.

My post wasn't miserable, I'm far from a miserable person, what I am is a passionate person and I was simply making my opinion on the guy crystal clear, unfortunately when it comes to Andy Murray I find it difficult to refrain from swearing and insults, such is my intense dislike for the man.

And what a convenient excuses for his awful manners - "he's not comfortable in front of the camera" and it's because "he doesn't act like a comedian", what utter, utter bull. Do you think every other player on the tour is perfectly comfortable on camera? No, so why is it only Murray that comes across the way he does? Him being "comfortable on camera" or not is absolutely no excuse for his constant rude, ungracious behaviour, and you don't have to be a "comedian" to come across well.

The Olympics is a team and nation based sport, Wimbledon tennis is not, it's all about the individual. So why would I possibly root for someone who is not only incredibly dislikeable, but is also from Scotland, not England? Maybe if the man was even in the tiniest bit likeable then I'd support him regardless of whether he's Scottish or not, but he isn't.

If there were any decent English players, then we'd say, he's representing england not great Britain

Exactly.

What a convenient excuse for a cuntish post.

And I wasn't trying to make you like him. I already stated I can understand why people don't care for him. I was stating MY opinion. You're perfectly entitled to like/dislike whoever the hell you want. I'm not on some tirade to force every Brit to like Murray or something. I just found the hatred in your post rather laughable.

^^^ This in a nutshell and don't give me any of this Team GB working as a team bullshit, I seriously doubt most of the athletes will be doing anything to help anyone except themselves in their sport.

Can't believe there are STILL people who believe this tabloid bullshit which was blown out of all proportion.

Well I couldn't really give a flying fuck if you find my hatred for him "rather laughable" because in my opinion it's warranted and I'm far from alone in my thoughts on him.

I have my opinion, and you have your biased, ridiculous excuse fuelled opinion. Each to their own.

Zankman Jack · 07-06-2012, 01:53 PM

I think he explained why he posted like he did.
I did the same a dozen or so pages back; Murray is the guy who makes my "Be fair, objective and just" life philosophy null and void, he is just that annoying.
Not talking about how he behaves, the way he plays... Eh. It's enough to dislike him.

I don't know ANYONE IRL who likes him, be they casual viewers or "serious" viewers, be they tennis players themselves or not.

I'm biased because I said I can see why people dislike him but I find it harsh? Excuse fuelled? I made one excuse. You're the one being biased here. You're clearly a very angry person so by all means carry on, I won't get the way of your bitter ranting.

No, you made two excuses, you said his behaviour is because he's "clearly not comfortable in front of a camera" and people don't like him because he's "not a comedian", both of which are absolutely ridiculous. You can't say you "see why people dislike him" but then come out with two laughable excuses for the way he comes across in his defence.

"clearly not comfortable in front of a camera" and people don't like him because he's "not a comedian"

I see it as more, we can't completely judge anyone from what we see on camera, they are there to win matches and not friends. To entertain us and draw us in, off/on court, warms people towards you, but i can still get invested in someone without this.

Sure, I don't find Andy particularly engaging, but i wouldn't say he is unlikeable, i just don't really care how he comes across, so long as he isn't doing anything unbearable. I support all athletes from these isles, regardless, if they like it or not, or they are not likeable enough.
