If he’d asked her if she swallowed I’d get the backlash from Murray but it was hardly a big deal.

Hibee cunt.

A fucking ledge of a man in every way. <3

[Don Fonte]

She obviously couldn't twerk because she's a lesbian.

[Reed or deed]

Fucking ridiculous remark.

 

I'd have been more interested in asking if she took it up the arse.

[Sonoftherock]

Announced he will retire at Wimbledon officially.

 

His hip is still fucked, so doesn't know if he'll make it that far. I don't think he'll make it through the first round against Bautista Agut... and then it's game over.

 

It's been absolute pleasure following his career! The first grand slam at Flushing Meadows, the absolute highlight for me! Before Murray, if someone had told me a Scotsman would win a grand slam tennis event, I'd have laughed! The greatest Scottish sportsman bar none IMO.

• Former World No. 1 (41 weeks, not long shy of a year before he got injured)
• 3 x Grand Slam winner
• 2 x Olympic Gold singles
• 1 x Davis Cup (where he almost single-handedly dragged UK to the title)

Just a pity he was cut down by this injury at his peak, while world No.1 and dominating.

 

The Australian Open last year wasn't the same without him... I couldn't get over this year, the first I've missed for a while, and absolutely crushed I won't be able to attend what'll probably be his last ever competitive match.

[Guest milne_afc]

He should seek the advice of Nads, Feds, and Djoker's physician.

 

He'll be cycling to the moon by Sunday.

[Dynamo]

Shame that it's ending this way but he's had an incredible career in an age when tennis was at its best ever. 

[Zeus]

^Hahaha. Nadal is surely on the peds. Was completely fucked then all of a sudden is back to being one of the best again

 

Was a tough watch that interview. 34 year old and I still canna watch folk greeting FFS. Can hopefully hold out until Wimbledon.

[maryhilldon]

Gutted by this, he pretty much said it's game over. Haven't paid much attention to tennis since he's been out and doubt I will again barring the occasional Slam final.

[Parklife]

Really, really saddened by his press conference this morning. I think all fans of his had feared this was coming but were desperately hoping it wouldn't.

 

Have loved following his career and i'm absolutely thrilled that his career has been during my lifetime. From all those lost slam finals, to his US Open win and subsequent Wimbledon win, to his 2nd Olympic gold and Davis Cup win, he's wrung everything from his talent.

 

On one hand it's great he competed against Djokovic, Nadal and Federer but on the other hand, without those 3, he's probably on at least double the number of slams, not to mention the number of Masters 1000 titles he'd have. Amazing achievements in the most ridiculously competitive era of the sport.

I knew it was over when he made his first attempted comeback, over a year ago, and was still limping around.  Would have taken a miracle for the second operation to allow him to compete back at his highest level.  Margins are too fine at the top level.

 

Still absolutely gutted to hear him admit it's over.  So many amazing memories.

I mentioned the first grand slam, but the 2 Olympic golds were probably my next favourites.

 

Destroying Federer on the Wimbledom centre court, just months after losing to him in the final at Wimbledon. Think that first one, gave him the belief to go on and win his first grand slam a few months later. Then the second one, that absolute epic against JMDP where they were both greetin' by the end of the match!

[Poodler]

You boys are heavy invested in tennis

 

I didn't realise people took it so seriously

[Bluto10]

remember when the likes of VDA and SOTR etc tried to claim his world no1 ranking made him the maradona\ali\senna of tennis

 

 

LOL

I played the sport as a kid, from the age of about 5 - I started out playing short tennis, with foam balls and plastic bats!  I made the West of Scotland team when I was a kid - was probably the highlight of my sporting career!     Football in winter, then Tennis in the summer, was always the way for me until I discovered drinking! 

 

Always loved watching the game - didn't think I'd ever seen a Scottish Champion!  Was brilliant while it lasted and has probably given me more enjoyment than any football match.

You'd think given that information you'd be able to predict a winner in a game once in a while.

It has to be a testament to Murray that the above must be the longest run of posts on the Hat for a while where people have been in agreement and been respectful.

 

Nobody has been called a nonce, snowflake, asked for nudes, photos of shoulders, to delete their account, or to stick a dildo on their bonnet.

 

Scenes!

[Reed or deed]

Sir Andy Murray.

 

The amount of determination he has shown to get to the top of his sport is just awe inspiring.

Some of the 5 set matches that I have watched over the years have just been sport at its very very best involving Murray.

The levels of fitness, stamina and ability required dwarfs other sports at times IMO.

 

A sad day indeed.

The crying is enormously bent. He can still play anytime he wants and has millions in the bank.

 

Big Hibs supporting fud.

[YorkDon]

We’ve been lucky as Scots,nae fucking Brits,to have had a truly world class sportsman to appreciate.

It’s a sad day for the loon,and you can see how much it hurts to admit defeat.

I guess when you’ve devoted your life to get to the top in professional sport,it’s tough to say it’s all over.

Hibs supporting fud he might be,but the boy has been class in everything he did-even upsetting the guffs one year with his ABE top for the World Cup

[ericblack4boss]

has anyone gone to check on the welfare of Kheredine Idesane, the yon cunt will be inconsolable his job appeares to be to follow Murray at all times

[Redstar]

The crying is enormously bent. 

Extremely...it totally detracts from any of his sporting prowess when he starts blubbing...gay in the extreme

[Bluto10]

being a man >>> winning hundreds of ‘slams.

 

 

greetin

LOL

[Henry]

I'm tipping Murray to win Wimbledon and the Australian Open this year.

 

A bold prediction, can't see it myself. 

[Bluto10]

heard some chump on the radio saying retiring will be like a bereavement to him

who speaks like that

You’d expect that sort of flowery rubbish from the acting fraternity but not some nobody from dunblane

[The Boofon]

A bold prediction, can't see it myself.

 

[Parklife]

Fucking dullard that he is

Stick to talking about stuff you have a clue about. Like noncing and losing trebles, as you clearly know fuck all about Andy Murray.

 

Prick.

Yeah he has a great record. He also won the year end ATP Finals at the O2 beating Djokovic in the final. Whoever won that match would end the year as the world number one.

 

Unfortunately his body started to fail him shortly after that. With his style of play he was always unlikely to have the same longevity as someone like Federer. But to have it cut short at only 31 will be devastating for him.

[Redstar]

Yeah must be devestating to have to be retire at 31 with tens of millions in the bank...I’m sure he’ll have another good cry when the time comes.
