chris h Posted February 28, 2009 Report Posted February 28, 2009 Im not a sports man myself and am not realy into sports football rugby cycling running etc. Apart from pigeon racing and country sports. So why is it when a scot win's a sport hes a GB, and not a scot. But when an englishman wins something hes english and not GB ?????
Guest Owen Posted February 28, 2009 Report Posted February 28, 2009 Take up rugby man. All rugby players are whatever they are born to be. What you will notice is that if your team ( in my case the Welsh Team ), is doing well, the TV and The Press always want to talk about the English Team. This happens no matter how badly they play or how boring they are to watch. We hardly ever get a mention. The good thing is that, it is all the sweeter when we beat them. And we have beaten them a lot lately. :B

Its basically because we can!!! lol ;D One thing that as mentioned before the Scots can keep Andy Murray though, we dont want him! ;D
alec guinness Posted March 1, 2009 Report Posted March 1, 2009 Its basically because we can!!! lol ;D One thing that as mentioned before the Scots can keep Andy Murray though, we dont want him! ;D everyone has their opinion on andy murray,scottish, british whatever.one things for sure he will go on to be the greatest ever tennis player from these shores.!!!!!!! ;)
retired Posted March 1, 2009 Report Posted March 1, 2009 everyone has their opinion on andy murray,scottish, british whatever.one things for sure he will go on to be the greatest ever tennis player from these shores.!!!!!!! ;) I dont agree maybe the greatest modern player but not the best overall. And i dont think he will ever win Wimbledon!
alec guinness Posted March 1, 2009 Report Posted March 1, 2009 I dont agree maybe the greatest modern player but not the best overall. And i dont think he will ever win Wimbledon! yeah maybe your right,dont think we can compare with the days when players in long trousers with large moustaches smoking cigarettes sipping lemon barley water,this was the era when great britain last had a great male tennis player. :)
Guest Posted March 1, 2009 Report Posted March 1, 2009 One thing that is for sure when he wins Wimbledon :) :)he will be Brittish. :)
Guest Posted March 1, 2009 Report Posted March 1, 2009 Forgot to add if he losses,well he will be Scottish. ;D ;D ;D
retired Posted March 1, 2009 Report Posted March 1, 2009 One thing that is for sure when he wins Wimbledon :) :)he will be Brittish. :) Not to me thats for sure. I would happily cheer his opponent on though, maybe even get a Spanish or Swiss football shirt in readiness.
Guest Posted March 1, 2009 Report Posted March 1, 2009 Not to me thats for sure. I would happily cheer his opponent on though, maybe even get a Spanish or Swiss football shirt in readiness. Nonsense,wait till the BBC reports it he will be the greatest BRITTISH player ever. :-/ :-/ :-/ If he wins. ;D ;D ;D
Guest Posted March 1, 2009 Report Posted March 1, 2009 Thats the BBC for you though, would love the option of not having BBC channels and in turn not having to have a TV license. See that's is whats wrong with this country.Although i am a passionate Scot.I am also very proud to be Brittish,you could always try Poland,you don't now how good you have got it mate. ;)
hotrod Posted March 1, 2009 Report Posted March 1, 2009 Not to me thats for sure. I would happily cheer his opponent on though, maybe even get a Spanish or Swiss football shirt in readiness. thats a very racist remark is it not , why do you hate murray? is it because he's scottish?
Guest Posted March 1, 2009 Report Posted March 1, 2009 thats a very racist remark is it not , why do you hate murray? is it because he's scottish? It is because there are no English players with the quality he possesses mate.On a different subject Premiership best league in the world without a doubt,but how many of the best players are home grown,very few.
alec guinness Posted March 1, 2009 Report Posted March 1, 2009 think a wee bit of togetherness on this one,as a nation we have too few world class sportsmen/women and to not support any of our champions is a poor show. :) :) ;) ;)

thunderboult Posted March 2, 2009 Report Posted March 2, 2009 very different here in scotland vince a $hitty league a lot of home grown talent and overpayed $hitty foreiners . if you think the scottish leagues are bad, you want to see the welsh leagues.

So why is it when a scot win's a sport hes a GB, and not a scot. But when an englishman wins something hes english and not GB ????? its a race thing. we still got this ilusion of a great british empire and great britain, well it was sold down the river years ago. i am english and dont want to ever be called scotish or welsh, same for you guys , i think we should all be recognised independantly and be friends. oh happy st georges day when it gets here,
Guest Owen Posted March 2, 2009 Report Posted March 2, 2009 What a miserable set of gits you are. Give credit where it's due. I think a lot of you have been reading the gutter press to come up with attitudes like that. Knock, Knock, Knock. A lot of you suport foriegn owned football teams with mostly foriegn players who are taking the money they make from the game out of the country, and that's OK. It does not matter that they are preventing our own youth from learning and developing. At least Murray is a proper Brit. and he has got to the top of his sport. How many of you are at the top of your sport? I doubt if any of you have ever trained for anything as hard as Murray. So you are in no position to criticise something you could not and would not do.

True mate, this is a country full of knockers, even pigeon men knock their own on this site.
Guest Posted March 2, 2009 Report Posted March 2, 2009 No Federer and Nadal are at the top and Murray is trying to pick off their scraps. Agree Federer and Nadal are top class,but Murray has also beaten Nadal of several occasions now.We should all be proud of our individual countries but remember the bigger picture that together we are Great Britain and draw strength from that. This is a wonderful country we live in and we should all remember the benefits we receive from being part of the union.There are people risking their life's to reach this country,they don't want to go to France,Germany,Spain or any other European country.Its Great Britain they want to come too.
joe61 Posted March 2, 2009 Report Posted March 2, 2009 Well said - I think our own identities are important and i dont just mean Scot,English, Welsh etc but also Brussels trying to take away all our identities. yeah well said, dont want little green cabage looking vegetables taking over the world do we..... givem to your pigeons guys oh happy days
Guest Posted March 2, 2009 Report Posted March 2, 2009 Well said - I think our own identities are important and i dont just mean Scot,English, Welsh etc but also Brussels trying to take away all our identities. Would agree it is time we told Brussels and the european union were to go.We already have a union its called the United Kingdom.It is time we controlled our own immigration policy, there are to many immigrants entering this country putting pressure and eating up our resources.I believe it is time to look after our own in these difficult times we are encountering.Time to put limits on the amount of economic migrants coming here taking our jobs,the place is flooded with cheap labour from Eastern Europe,with security checks being near imposable to carry out on these individuals.
Roland Posted March 2, 2009 Report Posted March 2, 2009 One thing that is for sure when he wins Wimbledon :) :)he will be Brittish. :) Shame if that happened.... Mind that would probably be great too... really pig the ********************88 of that lol
Guest Posted March 2, 2009 Report Posted March 2, 2009 Shame if that happened.... Mind that would probably be great too... really pig the ********************88 of that lol Get your money on him for Wimbledon just now.
