True, though as commander rightly said the England football team use it, which is most probably why the other nations making up the UK dislike it.

I think that's the issue..I don't understand why England have GSTQ as their anthem at Football. I have stood at Wembley and Hampden at these games albeit many years ago...and yea, let's just say I didn't sing it..why would I in that context.

Anyway, back to Andy Murray, Scottish and British and whether he sings GSTQ or not, or that he said some anti English (who can blame him really..) Bile as a youngster, doesn't matter. He like 99percent of Scots, are behind team GB. Highland Hamishes make up the 1pc, but they would still sook the sperm from Sir Chris Hoy's ball sack. Hypocrites.

Not true. It's GSTQ every time.

I've always hated GSTQ and have always thought that Rule Britannia should be the national anthem - much more fitting to our past (or land of crisps and lager to reflect our future of course)

5/1 on Murray to win the US Open.

Who's taking a punt?

He's number 2 because he won the final? A match he won with a tie-break in the final set?

So if he had lost that tie-break, he'd still be ranked 3?

Weird things, rankings............
