Just had a look at MTF, oh dear.

 

[LuuKyK]

It is a country...

What the hell is going on here.

That dude just said its the 5th biggest city... I am confused.

So its like this: Great Britain contains England and Scotland that are different countries?

Hahahaha please invest in a globe and geography lessons

Yeah, sorry. I will.

 

[Hystzen]

Last few pages show Geography is not taught to most people

 

[D_prOdigy]

Why on earth is it still called "Henman Hill". Henman was never relevant. Lets rename it ASAP please.

Robson Green

..only to chippy nationalists.

Not really at all. Even non nationalists note it.

 

[zero_suit]

King Roger will hoist the trophy next year. Enjoy the victory, Andy, but it won't last

Nope.

 

[DeFiBkIlLeR]

I doubt he cares if people call him British or Scottish.

..chippy nationalists care.

 

[Ash_69]

Djokovic's team are extremely classy in congratulating Judy after their man has just been beaten.

 

[Hige]

Scottish independence incoming. Great Britain forced to go on 78 years without a British male winner.

 

[John Dunbar]

the person who won murray both the olympic gold and wimbledon: juan martin del potro. you're welcome. andy didn't even thank him, tsk tsk.

 

[Stinkles]

It is a country...

What the hell is going on here.

Amurcun Exceptionalism.

 

[Muitnorts]

Of course it is. Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland and England are countries part of a union called Great Britain or the United Kingdom.

Northern Ireland is part of the United Kingdom, but not Great Britain.

Beaten… never mind

 

[frankie_baby]

Wtf? I thought Scotland was a country. I feel extremely dumb right now. @_@

Scotland within Britain is basically the equivalent of a US state within the usa

Hes trolling. Yes, and Northern Ireland and Wales.

GB = England, Scotland, Wales

Hes trolling. Yes, and Northern Ireland and Wales.

Not northern Ireland.

 

[MIMIC]

Nah, Murray was just better.

I agree. That's how it usually is with Murray. Push and retrieve until you win, thus being the better player.

The better player on the day always wins. I was just referring to HOW he won.

 

[GazzaScotland]

Cutting to his mum when Andy is doing the lap of honour, what the hell.

 

[Volotaire]

Northern Ireland is part of the United Kingdom, but not Great Britain.

Yes yes, but the specifics aren't really meant when the terms are used in everyday language.

 

[Smellycat]

That last game was unreal! I am glad Murray was able to pull through

 

[LuuKyK]

Hes trolling. Yes, and Northern Ireland and Wales.

Right, got it, thanks.

 

[Myshoe]

Great Britain is the main island consisting of three countries, England, Scotland & Wales.

The United Kingdom also includes Northern Ireland.

[miserable]

the person who won murray both the olympic gold and wimbledon: juan martin del potro. you're welcome.

all hail the Pope!

 

[Hasphat'sAnts]

Happy for Murray.

Tough to watch him last year, but I'm sure it's all worth it now.

 

[daviyoung]

Fuck's sake.

Great Britain = England, Scotland and Wales
United Kingdom = England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland

Murray is now British. Had he lost, he'd have been Scottish.

 

[PowderedToast]

the person who won murray both the olympic gold and wimbledon: juan martin del potro. you're welcome. andy didn't even thank him, tsk tsk.

lol, so true

 

[Randdalf]

Whoa, Murray was present during the Dunblane massacre when he was young. Didn't know that.

 

[Gregorn]

Well done Murray my son

 

[Sax Russel]

Heeeeyyy what's inside?

 

[szaromir]

I agree. That's how it usually is with Murray. Push and retrieve until you win, thus being the better player.

The better player on the day always wins.

Dude stop pretending Djokovic's game is any different.

 

[RedShift]

Who wants to talk about the tennis?

Last game was insane and tense, couldn't deal with it.

 

[Lunchbox]

murray wouldve choked if he was english

 

[LTWheels]

Sovereign nation state = United kingdom
"Countries" = England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland.

 

[Smellycat]

Murray almost broke the trophy lol

 

[Stinkles]

Scotland within Britain is basically the equivalent of a US state within the usa

not exactly. It has its own currency, law, government etc. There's nothing exactly like the way the United Kingdom works. More like a tiny, rainy EU. And it is seeking full independence now- which Murray's victory may irrationally affect.

 

[Volotaire]

Mixed Doubles final on later. Might tune in.

 

[Vashetti]

Well done Andy Murray!

My mum screamed herself hoarse at the TV lol

And LOL at the people questioning whether Scottish=British

 

[LordAlu]

Northern Ireland is part of the UK not GB.

Actually the term Britain can also refer to the United Kingdom, as the full name is the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. However you're right that including Ireland it is generally referred to as the UK

 

[caesar]

Whoa, Murray was present during the Dunblane massacre when he was young. Didn't know that.

Yeah, I think he was very small. What year was it again?

 

[Jill Sandwich]

 

[bud]

half of the people there didn't even get an autograph. what a douche.

 

[Acorn]

murray wouldve choked if he was english

I know your Joking. Because we are the ultimate chokers (Scottish) aside from Management.

But Sir Alex is a good luck omen for Murray. Was at the US when he won too.

 

[kharma45]

Just because people use it doesn't mean it is right.

GB does not include NI.

 

[Randdalf]

'96

 

[daviyoung]

No, it's the UK of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. Great Britain is separate, and just the one island.

[Go_Ly_Dow]

So Sir Alex Ferguson won us Wimbledon.

Absolute legend.

 

[jdforge]

I'm British and born in Northen Ireland. Go figure.

us states have their own law and government and scotland doesn't have its own currency it just has bank notes issued by scottish banks (english banks are allowed to but dont bother)

 

[Acorn]

I really hope he refuses Cameron his photo op.

Cunt.
