I don't like him at all BUT he has played some great tennis at Flushing Meadows.
its got nothing about him being Scottish - he is just an annoying little start up and he drives me mad in everything he does other than playing tennis!

Bit unfair on small start up businesses. Everyone's got to start somewhere ; - )
The England comments were a storm in a teacup, he was just a kid jesting in an interview with Henman I think. But his attitude to The Olympics was terrible.
Like him or loathe him, he's British - until the Jocks get independence at least - and he's one helluva player.
More balls in his little finger than Henman had in his whole body.
Can't see him beating Nadal in his current form for all the tea in China but Murray should definitely win a Slam sooner rather than later (US or Australian rather than Wimbledon though)
I like him - yes, he still behaves like Kevin the teenager sometimes, but he's showing signs of being a winner, and I also like his sense of history in choosing Fred Perry kit.
I like the kid, good attitude, bloody minded, belief in his ability and a soild work ethic. He screwed up at the Olympics but was man enough to admit it and said he'll focus on winning in 2012.
Henry, at the Olympics he got knocked out early by a player from Chinese Taipai who was ranked something like 85th in the world.
As regards his so called "anti english" comments, well I seem to recall this has been debated on here before (haven't got time to seach), and I got shot down for saying that as far as I was aware, the comments were made "tongue in cheek" during an interview with him and Tim Henman and he was trying to wind Henman up.
Sometimes I wonder whether we English, take this anti-English stuff from the Scots at bit too seriously which is maybe why they do it. I wish him well and I'd be delighted if he wins any of the grand slams.

Spot on for the most part, bing. The one to watch out for, though, is Alex Salmond - he does mean it. Nasty, devious man.

Agreed, they know the English have a thin skin to it, and the Scots are extermly self confident at the moment which probably scares the English as well

Have to say I dis-agree with that having taken a beating at an England v Scotland game at Wembley (Tunnel/England End) for celebrating an England goal, I can vouch for the fact the Scots don't like the English.
I hope he wins it waves that rag of a Scots flag and puts his winnings to help the Scots buy those two Titian paintings. OOOOOOOOOOOOO hold on though those paintings have to be saved for GB lol lol yes of course they do.
yes us English being proud is thin skinned and the Scots being proud is self confident --- what kak
Detest him, he and his PR people can say all they like about it was out of context etc, it was only a joke, his only regret was he got caught saying it IMO, typical Edingburgh Hibeee anti English garbage and should be challenged at every opportunity. Henman woulld have been slaughtered and labelled a racist had he said it about Scotland.

I know plenty of Scots who love the English and wear England replica shirts and badges etc, seen it in Motherwell & Glasgow on a regular basis.

Not a lot...
Got drunk at the opening ceremony, used the Olympic torch to burn the flag of St George.
Still it's tennis, who cares?
Good enough for Freddie Flintoff.
Apart from that what did he do?
I like him - yes, he still behaves like Kevin the teenager sometimes, but he's showing signs of being a winner, and I also like his sense of history in choosing Fred Perry kit.
how so?
By not taking it seriously, when his brother's lifetime ambition is to win Olympic gold.
