Bambino7 Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 Lloyd and Castle trying to out do each other in who can talk the most out of touch sh*te. I think Castle just wins it with his "take the trophy round each tennis club in Britain over the next 365 days". Castle is a complete and utter wankstain who is desperate for Murray to fail because he was shite. Should have Becker or Mac commentating not that p***k. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Distant Doonhamer Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 (edited) How Britain won the Davis Cup First round - Beat United States 3-2 at home (indoors) Quarter-finals - Beat France 3-1 at home (grass) Semi-finals - Beat Australia 3-2 at home (indoors) Final - Beat Belgium 3-1 away from home (clay) I`d forgotten just how much of an epic Ward`s win over Isner was. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/tennis/31774696 Edited November 29, 2015 by Distant Doonhamer 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HibeeJibee Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 Remarkable achievement. There are not many UK teams - whether individual home nations or Team GB - which have become world champions in the team sports. Incidentally, back in 2010 we were in a relegation playoff to drop into the bottom tier. Has there ever been a more meteoric rise ending as champions? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peasy23 Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 Heard Leon Smith on 5live's preview show during the week, comes across as a very shrewd man. He's the first to admit that he can't tell the players anything from his own experience as a player as he never played at the level of any of the players on the team. Instead it's all down to preparation and analysis of the opposition and just trying to keep the players focused on their game plan. Surely Murray must be a shoe in for SPOTY? And the team for the team trophy? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diamonds are Forever Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 Murray now won US Open, Wimbledon, Olympic Gold, Davis Cup. Only things he's not won are the Aussie Open where he's been finalist numerous times, and the French Open where he's not exactly done badly either. Impressive on it's own, but when you consider the baggage and pressure that he's had to deal with coming from a country with no other tennis players, but huge expectation, it's incredible. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HibeeJibee Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 Lewis Hamilton will be his rival for SPotY but Murray will surely succeed. I hope Ward isn't forgotten in what will (quite naturally) be the focus on Andy Murray and the Murray brothers. If it wasn't for Ward we'd have been in a relegation playoff to stay in the World Group, nevermind going on a run through the remaining KO stages culminating in the Final. Key win. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DensParkNumber1 Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 I just have the nagging feeling that Murray will be the greatest scottish sportsperson of my lifetime. I just dont see where our next sporting superstar will come from? People wont realise how good he is until hes gone and we have no one near competing in tournaments 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, other guys like Colin Fleming, Johhny Marray and Ross Hutchins also deserve a mention, all played their part over the years as they made their way up the tables. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't see him winning it, it's a public vote and I don't know anyone who likes him! Between Murray and Hamilton imo. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tamdunk Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 I'd have thought it'd have to be ennis or farah, but Murray's Davis cup performance has to put him in with a shout. What a guy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not so sure, an athletics world championship doesn't draw the same level of interest as an Olympics, especially a home one. Thing that will count against Murray, and probably Hamilton too, is they both won it recently. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silvio Tattiescone Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 Driving round in circles isn't a sport, certainly not any more. Didn't the egotistical tosser win it last year anyway? Because this was for Team GB, Andy should win however I wouldn't be surprised if they make it a special joint award to the whole Davis Cup team. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bambino7 Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 The best part of this thread was when the whole of pie and bovril came together, collectively as one to agree.. Lewis Hamilton is a welt. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thing that will count against Murray, and probably Hamilton too, is they both won it recently. That's true, I think ennis does probably deserve it, coming back and winning the world championship the way she did was incredible. Farah's consistency has been scary and Murray almost single handedly won a team tournament. Has to be between these 3 for me. Hamilton effectively won a 2 horse race, doesn't deserve it imo. Fury beat wlad, an impressive achievement, but it was a dull fight and won't have captured the public's imagination. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
