Gotta be Andy Murray. He's a genuine world star, a credit to Scotland, and well deserving of a major title.
The football team are dross, an embarrassment to Scotland and undeserving of anything!

Andy Murray will win a major at one point and he can attempt it every year. Another five years till the next World Cup so it is the footie for me.

I voted Scotland play offs 'cause it might not happen again for a few decades where if Murray doesn't win he's got a good chance of winning over the next couple of years........

Much as I love to see Andy Murray do well I'm a football fan and would like to see some success for the national side.

How much time does he have though? I think he's 21 or 22 and I'd imagine if you don't win a major by the time your about 24 then you're probably not going to do it given how many young challengers there are. With the football team, the personnel will change as the years go by so perhaps one day there will be a side good enough to qualify. Unless FIFA votes the home nations out of existence that is.

I've been to Holland and Norway with this Scotland side.
The thought of them actually qualifying and playing against the elite countries in South Africa, whilst the entire world is watching, is too frightening, I'm afraid.
We are hopeless.

Also, for this particular arguement, Murray gets a shot at 4 major championships per year (?). We get one chance every 4 years. Pull your head out yer arse if you voted for Murray.

A perfectly reasoned argument, spoiled by an attack on people with different opinions.
What a shame.
Don't be applying for any jobs which require persuasion, tact or influence.
Mon the Murray.

If Scotland get to the playoffs, they'll be a unfounded surge in expectations, hope and consumption of Tennents in the weeks leading up to the game (in of itself a horrible scenario, as that stuff is foul)
The red tops will somehow build up the game to be the "Kilted Warriors and their loyal band of hardy followers" against The Dark Forces of Tyranny.
Then we'll get pumped and just be even more dissappointed than if we hadn't got to the playoffs.
If the question had been "Andy Murray vs Scotland getting to Euro 2008" my answer would have been different.
As it is, Mon the Murray.

Has to be Murray for me.
I'm far more interested in tennis (and Murray in particular) than I am in international football.
We would only be in the WC for 3 matches anyway before being humiliated and sent packing.
I would still like to see us qualify but I would really love to see Murray win his first ever Major.

I only do that when the reasons are completely illogical to me ( I work as an analyst, generally most can be quite arsey but tend to follow logical conclusions after weighing things up. Probably why I don't believe in god ). Just my make up.

Would be nice to see Scotland qualify, but we would just be embarrassed yet again. Maybe next time if we can have a few decent players come through....
Voted Murray.Alcohol IS the answer, but I forget the question...

AM's in action at the moment, winning 3-2 in the first set.
Interesting to see so many on a football messageboard opt for the tennis option. Probably helps that he's a Hibby?

Well, not much chance of Murray happening now.
2-0 sets down. Playing absolutely horrendously.
-

Murray lost 3 -0 (5-7, 2-6, 2-6)
Possible wrist injury according to commentry.
