Sanny's army Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 So what did you mean by this? What would you have liked Salmond to do ? If you have principles, you take the action needed. You don't just cosy up to the person you consider your biggest challenge ("enemy" may be too much) as you feel a PR opportunity. Swap seats or walk away. Or maybe wee-minded Alex thought it would do him best to be sat by the most famous politician in the country? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sanny's army Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 Murray today becoming the first man born and raised in Scotland to win Wimbledon combined with the Scottish First Minister celebrating by displaying Scotland's national flag has certainly upset the Unionist bigots. We enjoy Andy winning, we're upset you clowns think it's for Scotland and not Britain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeeGas Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 Haha! I think interesting the nationalists on here are kidding themselves that Salmonds 'performance' did their cause any good what so ever. It did not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pandarilla Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 Is there any chance we could get rid of this 'seethe' pish and get back to some sort of semblance of a debate? It really is becoming tedious now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swampy Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 We enjoy Andy winning, we're upset you clowns think it's for Scotland and not Britain. ESPN showed a clip of people in Dunblane celebrating under a banner that said 'Dunblane'. I was literally sobbing with fury that they thought it was 'for' Dunblane.

T_S_A_R Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 Given that Murray learned the game on the courts of Dunblane (Scotland) and Barcelona (Spain) Is coached by a Czech player I see absolutely no British aspect to his victory. Do you think Cameron should make a speech crediting the people of Spain and the Czech republic. Andy Murray is Scottish, British and European, this is an absolute fact. Out of interest what flag do you think (in his role as First minister of Scotland) Alex Salmond should have taken? salmond should have taken a day off from campaigning and just went along and supported andy. waving a flag about behind cameron's head during an independence referendum is always going to be loaded with meaning.

Of course, if he'd done so he would have been accused of being petty and childish by every pea-brained Unionist like yourself. Do you actually read the pish you write?

I quite like that our first minister brought along a flag like the vast majority of the crowd. I quite like that he's into Gambling on horse racing, golf, goes to football, a loves a curry and pint.

If you have any sort of negotiation skills, you can swap. If you have principles, you walk away (not sure if you realised but the game was on television if he was needing to see it ) He did neither. If you win, that man will be your First Minister. Frightening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How's his macroeconomic management and his international diplomacy skills though? They're slightly important in being "furst munster" than being able to eat, drink and spend money (which are skills most people have) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Despite being a pretty solid supporter of Salmond I don't think that was a sensible move with the flag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
