He lost serve, awesome... Sure he will recover though because he is a quality player.

Good call.

I want Murray to win but must say I don't like it when the crowd cheer a double-fault.

Is it any different though to us as Villa fans cheering when an opposition player fucks up?

Yes but that's football. Hatred is part of the fun. :-)

Home advantage, make it count!

Booooooooooo, the Pole is trying to get the stopped for the night.

What is the issue with the roof coming over?

[Rotterdam]

The roofs coming across - 20 min break.

What is the issue with the roof coming over?

It takes about 20 minutes to close so all the momentum Murray has built up winning 5 games in a row is lost.

I think it's like where you change your sense of humour depending on who you're with. You don't tell that joke about the nuns and the banana to your gran, and you know that quoting Tommy Cooper at the pub might fall flat (only might. Depends on the quality of your friends).

By the way, this closing of the roof is awful. The sulky giant has got his way by whinging.

[Rotterdam]

The polish chap has been moaning about the light for an hour or so. He wants it closed.

Murray is on the up and wants to carry on...crap decision.

Agreed PWS, and re the Scottish songs there is something infectious about many Scots' enthusiasm for their folk traditions and culture, which is also often an inclusive one. There's more sectarianism, sure, but there's problems everywhere.

It was just a bunch of songs like Flower of Scotland, High Road, Proclaimers and a few others that i've forgotten, nothing OTT in the place I was in.

My good friend introduced me to her new boyfriend a few years ago.  He was a 'Wee Free', from a tiny island somewhere north or west of John O'Groats.  He hated me. Nothing personal, he hated everybody. Except her and she got a grudging pass for a while. 

He stands out amongst everybody I've ever met (including some rather antagonistic people along the way at work) as the most arrogant, self-satisfied, racist, anti-Semitic, anti-Catholic, anti-Muslim, anti-every other religion and sect not Wee Free, angry, belligerent, feeble minded, rude, slightly grungy geography teacher of a human being it has ever been my misfortune to meet. I was surprised that he hadn't been beaten up long ago.
He was also a Manchester United fan.  A perfect storm of negative personal attributes in one unattractive package.

I like Andy Murray, though (for the record).

While I was typing this you all moved on to discussing the roof.

[PeterWithesShin]

Do try and keep up dear.

[Louzie0]

Better make it clear that 'geography teacher was only his job, not an unattractive personal attribute.  I know some nice ones!

Went to VP today. We don't need a roof to keep the pigeons off our new pitch, we have a hawk. We also have a fox they are trying to catch! Ground looked awesome.

Someone needs to register the username "Villahawk".

Tell him that the 1968 European Cup winning team was made up of ten Catholics and George Best and that Papal Knight Matt Busby's dream was to put together an all conquering English Celtic. Please.
