Dearie me. What does it say about people that they can't be gracious, or even just keep their opinions to themselves, on the day a genuine world class athlete and legend of his sport makes this announcement.
Alan Brazil, of all people, having a go that Murray has "a problem" with crying all the time. Then snidey comments from him that it might be a problem not connected to tennis...
He's not worth the angst, I know. He's not fit to lace the boots of the legend that is the other A. Brazil. However, it's seriously poor form.
It really shouldn't need saying. He survived the massacre at Dunblane. There's not a hope in hell that it doesn't affect his very being. That horrible day 23 years ago saw two future multi Grand Slam tennis winners survive and go on to be No 1 in the world. I don't suspect these are mutually exclusive events. Even if it's not, I don't see the issue anyway.
And that's before we get on to the out and out haters...
We'd be hard pushed to nominate a better Scottish sportsman...ever.
