Rant number 190
For anyone who has had their head under a rock for the duration of today, today was the Wimbledon Men's singles final. Nothing too remarkable in general, but augmented somewhat by the fact that it was the first with a Brit in it for donkeys years.
Now, I'm not really one for Tennis, it goes on for a long time, not much really happens, the commentators get far too enthusiastic about everyone and there is far too much towelling down going on (and never the ladies!)
None the less, good on Andy Murray. He's done what Brits have been trying to do for a long time without success, got to the top two. Ultimately, he didn't get the top prize, but none the less - he's done all of us proud.
Have people ever been negative about it though? I can't say that he is a guy who endears me, but bloody hell - does he give it a go. He doesn't owe anyone anything, other than him self. If he's tried hard and failed against a better opponent, there is no shame in it.
I just don't understand the attitudes being thrown about. Our football team in the Euro's were a bit crap - no other words for it. Nobody then abused them for it.
Andy comes second out of all of those people - against one of the worlds finest tennis players, and gets a bit of a stick.
Way to be supportive Britain.
I hope that it is being done - tongue in cheek only, and that everyone is doing their best to be glad for the guy. He's tried hard and he's fought hard against one of the best, no-one can really fault him for that.
Negativity is fine when its deserved. God knows I'm negative often, but I always try to be fair.
Let him enjoy the moment, god knows he's feeling bad enough about not quite hitting the top.
Rant over.
