Why all the tears
I cant get my head around why Andy Murray Tennis player is bloody whinging on T.V. Because his career has been cut short real tears, And a cuddle of Mummy was the remedy of the day.
He should have done a few trips to sea with a few of us guys or played a part in the Russian Convoys.

Re: Why all the tears
I said to my wife, what's he grizzling about, bloody muti millionaire at 31, some poor bast**** are getting made redundant left right and centre, and worried about kids and mortgages etc, the worlds gone bloody daft with what sportsmen are paid. A lot of them could by a large house with months wages, fine, but don't grizzle when it comes to an end, kt

Re: Why all the tears
I think he is one of the greatest sportsmen to come out of Scotland, so he got a little emotional, so what?
He was a great asset the “Team GB” also .

Re: Why all the tears
I accept your point Bill, however, all sportsmen and women have to finish at some point, this made BBC news headlines for gods sake, as if there are not more important things to put on the news, just my view, kt

It made headlines on Scottish tv also, not sure about Sky, I enjoyed the accolades Andy was getting, it made a change from all the crap politics that the BBC is spouting lately, it cheered me up Keith.
