I did read elsewhere that he'd be the first porn start to be late with the money shot!

Looks like some interesting reactions on Twitter during Murray's match today: First set reaction Murphy Ohenlen ?(@Chucks_Taylor) starts the pessimism surrounding Murray’s chances: “I’m starting to believe that Andy Murray will never be ranked as number one in the world. Dude has been trying for too long now.” A cynical Isabelle Scarlett (?@IsabelleCain) questions the validity of Murray’s injury: “Trust Andy Murray to say he’s ‘injured’ just because he’s losing.#soreloser” While Joshua Morris ?@JoshuaMorris is delighted to wake up to see Murray losing: “Wake up to find Andy Murray is getting beat. Fantastic start to the day!” But Jamie Mc Cowan ?(@jamiemccowan) has Murray’s long-term interests in mind: “Andy Murray needs to get out of this tournament if he is ‘injured’ – in my opinion he should be fit for Wimbledon!!” And Anna Fitzpatrick ?(@TennisFITZY) compares Murray’s woes to Novak Djokovic’s chequered past when it comes to injuries: “Why is it that when Murray is like this he’s a hero but when Novak does it, he’s a villain?! To clarify, I’m not saying Andy is faking, I just think it’s interesting that the automatic assumption is that Novak is faking, Murray’s not!” Second set reaction After a lacklustre start to the second set Sam Walsh (?@Sam_Walsh13) is disillusioned with Murray: “Andy Murray is a joke. Will never win a grand slam #fact” But as the comeback start, Murray begins to win over viewers, David J Awofisan ?(@MaccyD_90): “Watching the French Open, Andy Murray playing like a possessed man even with a back injury. #SignUpHisPhysio #RolandGarros” Mel Jones (?@meliecupcake) asks a question that is relevant throughout Murray’s career: “Why is it Andy Murray insists on losing his first set before going on to win every time? #britishtrait” While Holly Ackroyd ?(@hollyackers) notices a change in Murray’s performance: “Fair play to @andy_murray! After a shocking 1st set he’s definitely picked up his game #rolandgarros #frenchopen” And Craig White (?@cwhite1991) heaps praise on the British number one: “Andy Murray’s bravery is incredible. Almost unable to walk throughout the first hour and a half of his match, he’s now 5-4 up in the second.” Third set reaction Duncan Jenkins (?@duncanjenkinsFC) is impressed: “What a comeback by andy murray, he’s got a heart as big as gold. I think he is #mint. #murray #mint #frenchopen” Shaun Brown (@shaun_brown) wants Murray’s advice on back injuries: “Wish I knew what Andy Murray has done to cure his back problem. Anything to help mine! Or has he just hustled Nieminen?#frenchopen” Daniel Spirrett (?@danspirrett) looks at the mental side of the game: “Andy Murray proving the phrase ‘mind over matter’ @rolandgarros#RG12” While Ianjdc ?(@ianjdc) attempts to keep the cynics quiet: “Anyone who reckons @andy_murray was merely pretending to have a back injury is, to be frank, a complete idiot! #frenchopen” Fourth set reaction Ed White (?@EdWhite2507) has seen this before from Murray: “Andy Murray having a very similar match versus Jarkko Nieminen to his third round last year against Berrer. Injured, but grinding it out #tennis” James Bailey (?@jamiebailey32) is delighted to cash in on Murray’s win: “I smelled a rat during the first set in the Andy Murray match so I put a £20 bet on Murray at 11/1 – I’m loving it.” Miss Em ?(@Elementary_Em) defends the Scottish star: “@andy_murray’s complete determination and remarkably impressive play despite his injury proves the snide remarks from the media invalid.” Robert Galloway ?(@robert_gallo91) poses a good question: “Is Andy Murray the most underappreciated British sportsman? Unbelievable resilience when many would have given up.” Anirudh (?@Anirudh6196) reckons Murray can emulate Chelsea: “Andy Murray destined this win this year’s @rolandgarros maybe? Just like Chelsea were in the Champions League.”

Christ, somebody with links to the SFA finally speaking some sense:

It's all very well taking the piss out of Villa, but by the sounds of things Martinez has taken the Villa job instead of Liverpool. Obviously decided to go with the bigger club.

The SFA are looking silly. Rangers fans are gloating on Twitter. If the transfer embargo was supposedly not lawful, then expulsion is certainly an option open to them. SFA need to come down strong here before UEFA or FIFA get involved.

WTF!? I thought they didn't have a leg to stand on given that two of Scotland's senior lawmen were involved in the original decision.

Surely they won't get agreement on that? It's probably another delaying tactic to help Green get more funds together.

So its 1p in the £1 then: http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/18240543 Hope HMRC and/or Ticketus tell them to fuck off.

Fuck's a buttery or a rowie? Real Aberdonians simply call them rolls!

Watched the whole thing, another fantastic performance. Pity he doesn't get the recognition he deserves on this side of the Atlantic. Great to hear the bagpipes!

If its not match fixing then phone tapping might be another possibility. There were rumours the BBC documentary on Wednesday was going to reveal something about phone tapping.

The Beeb aren't messing about: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-glasgow-west-18212287 If D&P have to step down as administrators, then surely this will delay a lot of the processes to try and get the huns back out of administration? Can only be good news surely!?

14 trophies out of a possible 19 for Guardiola!

Congratulations to Snapper, who wins a night out in Dundee with Mizer.

I can confirm Frankfurt is shite. I've been to three German cities and Berlin and especially Munich were miles better.
