    Just google up some pictures of English winners at sporting events and show which flag they are flying. Then do the same for Scots please.

      And clearly a Daily Mail reading xenophobic bigot into the bargain.

          Nope, you can support or not support anyone you choose. I couldn't care less if English people support Murray or not. I think it's petty and stupid for any Scot to choose not to support England when there is no conflict of interest (i.e. direct competition between the two) but but then many people are petty and stupid, the sensible reaction is to ignore then, the petty and stupid reaction is for you to go petty and stupid in retaliation.

          It's absolutely fine for an Englishman to wear or show his own flag anywhere he likes, doubly so when he's supportnig a sporting team which represents that country. It is irresponsible to fly the Union flag at a purely English sporting event, and it's equally as bad to show a St George's Cross at a purely British sporting even such as the Olympics. This is not rocket science. I'm sick and tired of English bigots telling everybody they've being stopped from flying their flag or being English.

          Again you haven't been following the argument. Firstly I say that it's stupid and petty for any Scot to display anti-English feelings based on purely racial grounds, so I'm not defending him at all. Even if Murray was being racist (and stupid and petty) in saying that (and it's disputed) then that is no excuse for YOU to get racist and petty and stupid in response. The sensible thing to do is to ignore him.

          Who says this? I haven't heard any Scot giving a flying faggot whether the English support Murray or not. Again you are inventing this imaginary persecution. Nobody cares. Fly your flag if you want, support or don't support Murray if you want. Do NOT use some imaginary persecution (or even real persecution) as an excuse for you to lapse into mindless bigotry yourself.
          Cooking doesn't get tougher than this.

                      They were all Scottish peabrain yet were photographed with the Union Flag. Kind of blows your pathetic feeble little rant out of the water..........not that you have the "intellegence" to have worked that out for yourself, blessed as you are with a head that is emptier than a hermit's address book.
