Pool Q Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 A friend has just posted a picture of himself on FB with a number of fellow members of his tennis club at the Emirates, or whatever it is called. Most are in Back the Brits t-shirts (not him mind). So what? They are tennis fans, at a tennis match, in which their team (for the moment at least) are playing. A sense of perspective never goes amiss. If it bothers you, don't watch it. I won't be, but that's because tennis is shite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rossy Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 A few Yes flags near me Not really a brit fest and it's been an enjoyable day. Maybe I'm not as bitter as some.

Squirrelhumper Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 W It's a sport. Scotland doesn't have a team. There's one wee section in union flags. Rest of the crowd are fairly casual. Enjoy your ban? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hampden View Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 Make no mistake, there is not a person in this world more patriotic about Scotland than me and I was there and will be today and tomorrow fist pumping for GB. That's right GB. I feel almost zero emotion for GB but I was there. Scotland flag and t-shirt. Today my old Rugby top sponsored by MURRAY on the front - smart eh? Unfortunately until we vote for Independence we are captured within Team GB in Olympics and Tennis, etc. That's life and nobody will stop me supporting a couple of Dumblane boys or Inverness lassies or Edinburgh individuals who are competing for medals or such. I also supported Team Europe in the Ryder Cup...................did you and if so please explain the difference! If these words make you uneasy this might help...........GSTQ was a disaster. They had to turn the CD up for effect when about 1% sang. Those who had Union Jacks on for the day maybe thought about it for 5 secs but I barely sw anyone even mime the words. Brilliant. When it came to the crunch..................then two bursts of Loch Lomond had mass participation a la Hampden half-time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stocky Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 (edited) I support Andy and Jamie when they play tennis under their own name, but I cant support them playing under the U.J. Britain is a foreign country to me, and Andy and Jamoe playing for Britain is similar to Mc Geady and Mc Carthy playing for Ireland, two Scots playing in a foreign team So come on the Aussies... ;-) Edited September 19, 2015 by stocky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
