A nose for a story
June 30, 2006 at 7:57 pm | In England | 1 CommentWhen one blogs,you become aware of just who makes an impact in the field that you or I care about,whilst I make an honest effort to make a point,I am a lone person with no help or endless time to look for things to trigger my foaming at the mouth performances,plus I work full time, and do have a life elsewhere.BUT
Like the Ghost Busters-“who ya gonna call”,well,since the revamp one has to say The England Project, again and again coming up with the goods,such as this very interesting article from The Christian Science Monitor,which I think is American,I’m not sure ?,but anyway it is really well written,and if it is American shows a remarkable understanding of our situation in England,one you would usually not see from that side of the pond!.
Murray needs a lesson in diplomacy
June 30, 2006 at 3:29 pm | In England, Scotland, Sport, Tennis, World Cup, personal opinion | No CommentsAfter my own thoughts on the matter, I was pleased to catch an article in the Daily Express today which shows that I am not alone in my stance.
Leo Mckinstry today had a few points that I have already posted on plus many I agree with,such as.
“The sadness is that,after decades of frustration,our hopes should be borne by such an unedifying,immature and unpatriotic figure,who has as big a talent for alienating his natural supporters as for match winners”.
“Murray has proved to be a petulant often miserable youth,indulging in foul mouthed tantrums on the court and anti english diatribes off it”.
“In the run up to Wimbledon,Murray caused a storm by expressing his contempt for the England football team,saying he hoped they were dumped out of the World Cup,and expressed his solidarity with England’s World Cup opponents”.

It is next to impossible to really sympathise with Murray with the way he continually bites the hand that feeds him, ie English tax money.
My natural instinct is to be quite lenient,then you read more about the unfortunate things he has said,and ones good will starts to be strained,I am trying not to feel guilty about disliking him, but he does keep on saying and doing the wrong thing for all of England to see like a red rag to a Bull.
If you come to England to play tennis in England at the All England Club,in front of many thousand English fans both in and out of court,then proceed to brazenly happy slap the English Nation for all to see, then the individual in question is either, a racist,a twat, or a fool,all be it a young one.

Whilst I will not condone excessive personal attacks on Murray, he is an individual who is extremely difficult to like under any circumstances.
