    When do Scottish sports stars become British?

    Andy Murray is now British and not a primarily Scottish
    Are the Scotland/Welsh/NI football teams now British? Should I be chearing them on waving a union flag?

    Have all the old sporting divides come down and we are all now British?

    The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.

    But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”

    Murray just won so today he is British.
    Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson

      They dont! Murray can **** off for all I care and take his inbred scottish ***** with him.

      My mate's wife, a scot, claims in all seriousness that the English deliberately make scotland look smaller on maps than it really is!

      Have the scots never hear of satellite images then that shows their poxy little country in its true size?
      I couldn't give two fornicators! Yes, really!

        Most of the bigger Scottish sprotsmen will say they are British purely to stop the SNP hasling them and using their name for political advantage. Chris Hoy got abused something rotten by the SNP when he got back from the Olympics.

            hmmmm...do I wish to waste more than a nanosecond's thought on a person who went out of his way to say that he supports anyone but England in football and rugby?

            I'll get back to you on that one.

            His opponent is more British than Murray is (Blake has a British mother).
            Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God? - Epicurus

                Of course that is exactly what he said. And I am sure you can point us towards the quote.

                And I am sure that he is busy crying into his champers at the realisation that he doesn't have the support of small-minded xenophobic little englanders like you.
                You carry on supporting losers like Henman if you want.

                  Of course you would, but that is probably more to do with your sexual orientation than anything else. Each to their own eh baggie?

                    Murray is a petulant little sheet who looks and acts like a teenager. He will never have the class of Federer, on the court or off it.
