Is Sue Barker Welsh Bairn? Are you suggesting that Welshbairn has shagged Cliff Richard? Mind you, given his flirting with celebs I would put it past him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We`ll have a BBC helicopter above us before we know it. Edited September 9, 2018 by Distant Doonhamer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Connolly Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 Sue Barker is moaning that the umpire applied the rules absolutely to the letter. Isn't that his job? This is really starting to annoy me. The coach has admitted he was coaching. Williams smashed her racquet. Williams verbally abused the umpire. Why is this somehow the fault of the umpire for applying the rules? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why is this somehow the fault of the umpire for applying the rules?Read a lot of stuff that seems to forget that she was docked the game as it was her third violation, you would think that the umpire had just jumped straight to that without going through the other sanctions first. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheScarf Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 Jesus, the GS #numbers that Fed, Rafa and Novak are on really hits home how good they are (and mentally strong) when you think Andy Murray is world class. 20, 17 and 14 compared to Murray's 'measly' 3. Crazy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, it's really only ever been a Big 3 unfortunately. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not It's the fault of Serena Williams and her coach The act was shameful enough and now she has shamefully created a gigantic smokescreen using her celebrity status No one is willing to go against the grain and call her out on her obviously shameful behaviour, they would be branded sexist too No apology to her opponent who was reduced to tears in her victory presentation, never seen such a thing before Disgrace 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Connolly Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 It’s actually just a magnificent piece of Old Firm style whataboutery. The class she’s shown is the same kind of dignity and class you always see the Green Brigade and the Sons of Struth talk about. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No disrespect to Murray a world class superstar but not in the same league To be fair to Murray, I doubt he places himself alongside those 3 either. Putting them to one side, he's been miles ahead of every other player over the last decade and at a level of consistency which in other eras would have given him 6 or 7 majors rather than 3. After all, he's only ever lost in major finals to either Federer or Djokovic. I'd certainly rank him alongside players like Edberg, McEnroe and Becker which isn't bad going. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ayrmad Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 (edited) I think the phrase got coined as the 4 of them seemed to be constantly in the last 4 of the big ones at one point. Edited September 10, 2018 by ayrmad 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loki Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 The term Big Four was first started about 09 - long before Djokovic caught fire in 2011 - and was as Ayrmad stated used to describe the four of them showing the consistency to make the semi finals of every event. Nadal, Federer and Djokovic will go down as the greatest players ever. Federer will not win another Slam if Novak is in his way . Murray can consider himself unlucky to be part of that generation. Novak was brilliant, absorbing Del Potro's power and giving him a different ball each and every time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Under the pernicious feminist doctrine these harpies are wielding, equal treatment and equal responsibility is discrimination. What is demanded is special treatment and special privileges, otherwise victimhood, waterworks and "misogyny!" tantrums. As a great woman once said, if the benchmark for proper treatment and responsibility is men's lives, women couldn't handle equality. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
