In fact JOT you've some interesting posts re Murray which I'm sure you'll call banter but what others would regard as bile. For instance -

"Andy has his wide open mouth gormless facial expressions muttering to himself like a disturbed mental patient. Still, I'll put my prejudices to one side "

You are so balanced aren't you, not.

Davser - That sentence was not in the least nationalistic I would hope that you agree. Andy Murray is annoying and whats a bit of humour on a tennis forum. In fact Davser - I have scrolled through the posts and there are some anti Scottish messages. As I say they are not to be taken seriously, give back in kind, and as Michael Mates MP once stated "Don't let the buggers get you down" But most of all respond with humour not getting on your high horse all the time.

Davser my old pal, I didn't see anyone say anything along the lines of:

"I'm sure if I said that some English sportsperson was an English twerp or such like the howls of abuse would reverberate round here."

and Davser you seem to be assuming we are all English, why can't we be patriotic about Britain when we are not English.

Now go home have a G & T and relax, this is doing you no good at all.

I am thrilled to see "Baby Goran" playing again, & despite this loss, I hope he contiues to build upon the promise he showed a while ago before illness & injury kicked in.

Not sure Button was defending GB, but rather his team and himself. AM, when playing for GB, which he doesn't (at least not lately) should not wear symbols of his region or even village. It should be GB. In reply to another post, at least I can spell racket. To the "warts and all" poster, why? I dislike Murray but like Nadal. Why should I support Murray in an individual sport, unless he has decided to play DC, when indeed it would be a team sport (too complicated for some, perhaps)? Give DC ranking points and see how his precautionary measures become overcautionary measures. To Debsonthesofa: I want England and GB to win (Scotland to lose for healthy rivalry reasons), I have just pointed out that we hardly ever win at anything except snooker and darts (and not even by cheati.., I mean bending the rules, do we get a new F1 champion).

I think you'll find Potro that AM doesn't wear a saltire when he does play for team GB. Thats reserved for when he's playing for himself. I see I'm back to being 'Debsonthesofa' again...

I've said before that I didn't believe that you would support Murray if he played for GB in Davis Cup, that this was just too good an opportunity for you to miss. Well, I found the DC tie against Croatia thread, when he did play and guess what? I don't really need to tell you do I?!

"As for the injury (sorry protection against injury)"

Murray is no stranger to injuries of various kinds but the bipartite patella - or split kneecap - he was born with has always had the potential to be the most serious of his aches and pains. He was forced to rest for six months when the problem was diagnosed when he was 16 and it continues to trouble him, most recently before Great Britain's Davis Cup trip to Argentina.

The furore surrounding his brother Jamie's criticism of his younger brother for not travelling to South America overshadowed how serious the knee problem might have been although it proved to be a short-lived inflammation. But it did serve as a reminder that he must take the utmost care of his knee to avoid recurrences.
