Murray v Federer

[FranckSuzy]

Good luck Andy :flag:

[pacorosssco]

go on murray . show us what bottle in a final is all about. best of luck

[blackpoolhibs]

1-0 murray with a break of serve. :top marks

[HH81]

Shouldn't this be moved to the other sports board under the Rugby League and Cricket sections :greengrin

Do you think Murray gets a lot of the close line calls going his way?

Doing well though 2-0 up first set.

:grr: this is a football forum ...get this Girly twirly lawn tennis off else where.....

His grandfather played for us so that makes it football related :wink:

Hawk-eye does away with any Thomson-esque decisions :agree:

[HH81]

ESPN 3:30pm Live beech football for anyone needed a football fix.

Suzy how does this whole Hawk-eye think work? i.e. if they think a ball is out in the middle of a rally do they just stop playing and shout Hawk-eye :confused:

[Leishy1995]

Hibs hibs hibs for the cup...
C'mon Murray!

The player challenges the call and they have a very short break whilst the result of the shot/call is shown on screen :aok:

I don't know how it works technically, but they can shout out part way through a rally, but they've got to call before they hit the return. If they call it incorrectly (i.e. they think it's out, but it is in), they lose the point. If it's correct I think they replay the point.

Not really much to be gained from calling it, might as well just play on and see how they do. :confused:

[danhibees1875]

Yeh, think they only tend to shout if it's been called as in and they haven't been able to play it, or has been called as out.

[Northernhibee]

Federer looks absolutely formidale.

That Lindt advert was ****ing shocking, mind you.

[FranckSuzy]

Murray up 5-4 in the first set :thumbsup:

[lucky]

This is actually quite exciting game for tennis. How many celebrities are there

[lucky]

Serving for the set. First set Murray. First ever set in a grand slam final.

[FranckSuzy]

He's taken the first set! :flag:

[number9dream]

First Hibs fan to win a set in a Grand Slam final...

[Holmesdale Hibs]

I live about 8 miles away and it's just started pushing with rain.

[Lendo]

Chances of him whipping off his top to reveal the new Home strip if he wins??

[Leishy1995]

There's only one team in Edinburgh... With a Wimbledon finalist.

[Keith_M]

Has that Dunblane Diddy blown it yet?


:duck:


:greengrin

[Leishy1995]

Looking like he's going all the way!

[SMAXXA]

Has it restarted? What's the score?

[Leishy1995]

Restarted at a set each with games at 3-2 and it's deuce.

[SMAXXA]

Restarted at a set each with games at 3-2 and it's deuce.

Sound mate thanks

[Northernhibee]

****s sakes, this doesn't half drag on, does it?

[Holmesdale Hibs]

Murray is doing really well but Federer is beginning raise his game and I think he'll prove to strong in the end. If Murray does pull it off then it'll be some performance.

[Pretty Boy]

Federer to win 3-1 I think.

He just seems to have that extra gear that Murray can't quite find. The chances Murray didn't take on the break points in the 2nd set are what will have cost him.

[lucky]

Not looking good for Murray at the moment he needs to try and hang in there

[21.05.2016]

Murray done really well so far but he is up again arguably the greatest male tennis player of all time. I think Federer will just prove to be far too strong for Murray.

[Pretty Boy]

Game over now imo.

Would love to be proved wrong but losing the second set after having break points and then being broken after being 40-0 up in that set will finish him.

[PatHead]

Unfortunately Federer purring like a Rolls Royce now. Forehand is almost perfect

[Wotherspiniesta]

I have an irrational hatred for Federer's wife.

No idea why.

[PatHead]

I have an irrational hatred for Federer's wife.

No idea why.

Quite like the fact she isn't the normal WAG

[Pretty Boy]

I have an irrational hatred for Federer's wife.

No idea why.

She could try cracking a smile now and then.

[Dinkydoo]

****s sake

[Pretty Boy]

Murray can be proud of his efforts today but he was up against the best tennis player ever who was at the top of his game in the 3rd and 4th sets.

No one can question Murrays attitude today, he gave everything and kept plugging away.

[Hainan Hibs]

As I said on the other thread there wasn't much he could do up against the best ever player. Had a chance to break Federer in the 2nd, if he had taken that who knows.

He'll win a slam one day though.

Maybe next time..............




Murray Scottish again!

[Wotherspiniesta]

Emotional interview from Andy there.

You can feel his pain.

He's unfortunate to be playing in a period with 3 of the greatest players who've ever done it. Hopefully he can do it one day.

[FranckSuzy]

Great effort from Andy but he lost to probably the greatest ever tennis player.

[Jones28]

Great effort from Murray, still made history. As previously mentioned it's just unfortunate he happens to be on his game at the same time as 3 of the best players ever!

[Hibbyradge]

Maybe next time..............




Murray Scottish again!

British again.

[marinello59]

British again.

it could have been worse. A straight sets loss would have seen him simply defined as a Hibby.

[Pretty Boy]

it could have been worse. A straight sets loss would have seen him simply defined as a Hibby.

'Maybe next year'.

The Hibby mantra.

[IWasThere2016]

it could have been worse. A straight sets loss would have seen him simply defined as a Hibby.

:greengrin

[Littlest Hobo]

He's getting better as each year passes.

Hard lines Andy.

[heretoday]

He should have won the second set. Federer's legs might not have lasted five sets.

[lyonhibs]

Is anyone honestly surprised that Murray fell at the final hurdle, against a performance like that??

Said it before, and I'll say it again, as long as the draw means he has to play any of The Big 3, Murray will never win a Grand Slam - IMO.

[Scouse Hibee]

Another defeat this time delivered by Fed express, Murray is simply not good enough. :greengrin

Delighted, maybe now the papers will stop with all this Murray crap.

[Hibernia&Alba]

I almost filled up myself when Andy was trying to talk afterwards. Well done lad, you did us proud and you will get another chance. Great achievement this year and the best is yet to come.

[FranckSuzy]

Another defeat this time delivered by Fed express, Murray is simply not good enough. :greengrin

:tsk tsk: The 'expert' the BBC came up with was John Lloyd, Australian Open finalist 1977 :rolleyes: At least Murray made it to the final of THE best tournament there is :na na:

I actually enjoy your role here as the pantomime villain but you really do come across as a **** at times. I would usually refrain from pointing that out but I think you will take that as a badge of honour. :greengrin

Of course no one is surprised, Federer is the greatest ever and he was bang on his game today in sets 3 and 4.

Also think that he will win a grand slam one day. He obviously will always have to play one of the top 3 but Murray is always improving and is as he said "getting closer". There has been massive improvement from him this year. First he took Djokovic to five sets in the semi at the Australian Open and today he took the first set and could also have gone two nil in front with a little bit of luck.

Federer won't last forever and Nadal showed this year at Wimbledon how any one can have an off day. Murray's day will come!

[lyonhibs]

You really are an annoying ****!!

Now now, you're letting him get to you again :greengrin

[Hibbyradge]

Yes and lost AGAIN :faf:

I don't mind you not wanting Scotland to do well although Andy Murray wasn't representing Scotland today. As I said elsewhere, it's perfectly understandable.

However, this is a Scottish football forum so you're going to hear the views of Scottish supporters.

Do a lot of Scots go on English football club forums and slag off your national team and tennis players?

[Scouse Hibee]

You really are an annoying ****!!

You again! :tee hee:

How did I know as soon as I saw this quoted that it would be aimed at Scouse?

[Iggy Pope]

Yes and lost AGAIN :faf:

Tragic really.

On another note, I had to spend time in Bootle last week. What a *****hole eh? Bet you are glad you don't live amongs that lot?

1. Did I ever say I was unhappy to hear the views of Scottish supporters?

2. I haven't got a clue if they do or do not mate, I would hope if they do that they enjoy themselves as much as I do! :greengrin

[Scouse Hibee]

You Scouse b*****d :greengrin

Nah, nothing wrong with going against the grain, but Andy is one of us, too. Remember that, mate. :flag:

[Wotherspiniesta]

Nippy scouse **** shocker.... :rolleyes:

[HH81]

Watched a bit of the final. Now I don't know much about tennis but having heard how much he makes from finishing 2nd he will be ok.

He lost to the better player. Simple as that.

[cabbageandribs1875]

oh ffs, i can only imagine Jimmy Tarbuck has made an appearance on here again aye:rolleyes:

[Scouse Hibee]

You Scouse b*****d :greengrin

Nah, nothing wrong with going against the grain, but Andy is one of us, too. Remember that, mate. :flag:



:greengrin I was waiting for the chorus of "he's one of our own" today but it never came!

[Scouse Hibee]

It's all good fun just remember that!

[Scouse Hibee]

Hardly a shocker by now surely? :greengrin

He's a Hibs fan like yourself. It doesn't matter where he's from, we're on the same side. Even scousers are welcome!

Who was Merseyside's last great tennis player? Or England's for that matter? Tim? Greig? Both 'so near yet so far' men. In case you hadn't noticed, Murray is the first male to make the Wimbledon final in 74 years. What is there to slag off? :confused: I honestly don't get the point of your posts.

If tennis crowds could chant like they kind of did for Andy toward the end all game he'd never lose. He plays off the crowd. Next year Andy will be back. Unfinished business.
