I haven't seen any evidence of it yet, but maybe it's a bit too soon after his defeat?

Or maybe it was a chip on the shoulder, paranoid myth all along. :dunno:

Why?

If it was important enough for folk to make the claims in the first place, I think it's only right that we analyse what actually comes to pass.

So what you're saying is that Murray is not being overrated when ranked fourth in the world :greengrin

Yeah, I kinda knew that.

But the way the media have actually taken him to their hearts it deserved a more thought provoking/sarcastic title. :wink:

If thats your main reason for pursuing this i'm surprised you've not started any other threads disagreeing with stuff other folk have posted.

I was reading the English press in the run up to the final and he was referred to as both British and Scottish.

99% of the coverage was relentlessly positive, the only negativity came from the bell end of a tipster in the Mirror who tipped him to lose every match and made some pretty pathetic jibes about Scots.

I think the whole British/Scottish thing is just a myth.

It definitely used to exist, but I agree it's much less evident now. The Murray coverage was very well balanced.

Those cynics amongst us may link BBC's apparent change in tact with a 2014 referendum...but I would never do such a thing.
