For those of you that follow such things:-

Our Tim has just gone through to the second round, 13-11 in the fifth :D

He doesn't do anything by halves :lol:

I'm annoyed I forgot to watch any Wimbledon last night. <_< I'll try and catch some highlights of the Tim match tonight. :)

Quite amazed he got through...but for how long will it last.... :ermm:

Mmmmmm, Martina Hingis :drool: :drool:

:ponder:

Now if you'd said Maria Sharapova... :drool: :naughty:

Ewwww :fear:

Leggy blondes really do nothing for me :shrug:

Now Scarlet the bardmaid from last night :naughty:

That's okay. I hear you don't do much for them either :lol:

:lol:

If anything you're understating it :lol:

Hingis won :)

gasquet (fr) vs mahut (fr)

a french won :lol: :rolleyes:

Henman loses first set. The shock. The horror.

Just lost set numero two as well :lol:

Taxi for Henman?

Hold the Taxi :o

Our man Tim is 5-2 up in the third :lol:

I'm sure that'll give the commentators cause to start blathering on about how this might be his year AGAIN :rolleyes: :lol:

I'll ask the taxi to wait anyway :lol:

Just opened up the live scoreboard, I'm letting the taxi go :unsure: :blink:

5-1 in the fourth :blink:

The man's a legend :lol:

Don't be too hasty, there's still time for him to do the honourable English thing and snatch defeat from the jaws of victory :lol:

I'm expecting a heroic loss in the 5th ;)

:lol:

I don't know, the radio says Lopez is looking exhausted and may have used up all his strength winning the first 2 sets and has nothing left :unsure:

Hang on. It's 5-2. It's a fight-fightback :o

Nah, just went with serve thats all :)

2-2 and Timmy has the bit between his teeth :ph43r:

Goooooo Tiger :ph43r:

I've never been a huge Timmy fan but he deserves to win this just for that amazing comeback :shrug:

And there was me thinking the only way he'd make it into the second week was if it rained from now until Sunday :lol:

Nah, he's tanking :rolleyes: :( I'll call that taxi back :rolleyes:

<Starts gathering umbrella, sun visor and leftover sandwiches together> :lol:

Defeat. Jaws. Victory. :lol:

:lmao:

Good ol' Timmy :)

At least he's consistent :shrug: Even if it is consistently shit <_<

In fairness to Timmy, he is one of the best tennis players we've produced over the last 30 years. 4 or so tournament wins and semi finals at Wimbledon is pretty good, he just wasn't quite good enough to win the big ones :shrug: :)

No, he's not that bad, it's just frustrating to get your hopes up and then have them dashed. Hopefully, when Andy Murray is better we may have better luck :unsure:

Ah, simply expect that they'll lose and then you'll be pleasantly surprised when they don't :lol:

Learnt that watching English cricket teams throughout the nineties :lol:

Yes, cos all the Scots out there support Henman, obviously, so we should support Murray? Hmm, don't think so :ph43r:

We all (well, some of us) rooted for Rusedski and he was Canadian, ffs :rolleyes: :lol:

Okay,

a ) never could stand Rusedski

and

b ) that's got nothing to do with it

I don't hear the Canadians loudly cheering on anyone that English players or teams come up against the way some Scots (including Andy Murray) do, so I can see no reason to offer my support to one of their players/teams :rolleyes:

But he represents Great Britain and that means we may have a chance at not looking so crap :unsure:

But if you want to boycott him, go ahead, you....you...anti-brit, you :snooty:

Federer and Roddick up today (not together) and both third in line so I may actually get to see some play :thumbsup: If the rain stays off :ermm:

:lol:

Yeah, that's me :01:

Actually, it's not true. I'd support any Scottish team playing Chelsea :lol:

Goodness, you're in a kind and loving mood today, aren't you? :lol:

Steve, for shame.

I support any Brit at Wimbledon, be they Rusdski, Murray, or even Henpecked, sorry, I meant Henman :blush:

The reason that Scots don't seem to give a flying **** about English players and Tennis in general, is purely because up until Murray came along, nobody could think of a Scot from living memory who managed to do much of anything in the Tennis world :lol: So it's not that they hated the English players, it's just that we hated all players, in my case, especiallly Man-tina Navratalova. She scared me :fear:
