Apparently he did it for Queens and some people assumed he'd do it for Wimbledon too.
Either that or they're just making up shit for the fun of it.

Kinda fucked up people assumed that. Now he looks bad because he isn't.

Just saying.
Just saying.
Its only the final of Wimbledon that is currently Cat. A, for such a huge sport why isnt the rest of it? Look at some of the other sports in Cat. A too, the national for one. List means little.
Snooker bigger than golf? Pls. I guess darts is too?
I blame it on Andrew Castle for mentioning it at Queens. It wasn't supposed to go public at all (about him donating the Queens winnings).
but the rest of the championship is category b, same as golf...
The point about snooker and formula was just my opinion, but it seems at least one study supports me.

Anyways, it was nice discussing this. It's rare to have a civil discussion on gaf. Too rare.
Gotta rush to a bbq.
Thread moving rather quickly - not sure if posted yet.

congrats Murray, I didn't expect you to win it when it started but you deserve it 
Yeah he's rich but not give away £1.6 million rich...
Delighted for Murray. Not my favourite player as I've said a few times - will always love Federer more, prefer Nishikori, Tsonga, Tomic and Del Potro right now - but I'm glad he beat Djokovic, and he did it in style. Certainly not as boring as some make it out to be, and the only ones who still pull the Scottish/British bollocks are salty turkeys who can't stand him for the reason he... gets a bit angry sometimes and he looks like a rat?

no one should think bad of him, its his prize money he earned it fair and square and boy does he deserve it, whatever he does with it is his business
To being the only scottish man to attempt an afro?
Yep. I would also like to see him grow massive side-burns, a porno tash and play in a shell-suit.
And only the netcord knew, and did everything in its power to prevent him winning.
Not necessarily if England take the Ashes.
Actually, I think it'd be quite nice if someone next year went "It's been *one* year since a British player won at Wimbledon..."

Remember when ITV switched to CGI versions of these guys? That sucked ass.

BBC montages are so awesome. Someone needs to gif the sunset plane part for future GAF threads.

Hmm, I remember watching an entirely different closing montage on the BBC today. imo was far more moving. It showed all the Wimbledon credits and lots of different footage from Murray as a child mixed in with it. Remember thinking it was pretty epic at the time. Still pretty cool though.
What a disgrace!
I hate when Britian does good at anything...they milk it waaaaaay to much. Relax. FFS!
Dude, we suck 99% of the time. Give us our moment in the sun.
Sure I'll give you a moment but you know the press will milk this for months/years on end... :/

UKGB! UKGB! UKGB!
... nah we really suck at nationalism. Being proud of our achievements isn't very British. But it's nice to let go every now and again!

That was the end credits for the men's final; the one posted here was the end credits for the whole tournament.
Could only find 2012s for the specific post-Final montage. It'll turn up, I'm sure.
(All this got me digging out some of the Epic Montages from the Olympics, god, I love the Beeb.)
This is the UK press you are talking about. They'll be berating Murray again in 6 months for being too angry.

It was actually for the whole tournament. Because it was showing a montage of all the matches including womens etc. showing Federer/Nadal/Serena get knocked out. I'm gonna have to dig it out of the internet from somewhere xD
It'll be on iPlayer for now, at least. If I remember, I'll have a go at capping it if someone more competent hasn't done so by then.
Haha...touché..
I love it, they got at Henman for not showing emotion and now get at Murray for showing too much.
Bunch of pricks.
They do this all the time.
England national team in football..."No Passion"...as if passion is the missing ingredient to ending Englands football drought...
Ha no worries. I'd only mentioned Rory as a fleeting example, I didn't expect I'd have to then start defending golf as a sport
He probably will get one some day, just not yet.That's okay, as a Murray fan I still have absolute faith that there is no-one in the current professional circuit that he can't lose embarassingly to.

BBC Wimbledon 2013 Closing Credits (Pure Imagination)
Just left click it, it should display in your browser, or right click and save it. Didn't bother with YouTube because BBC/Artist will pull it within minutes.

i'd say the US open is certainly gonna be a rerun
John Dunbar
correct about everything
healthy del potro might do some damage. of course expecting that guy to stay fit is a big if.
Hoping Del Potro & Tsonga can step it up big time outside of the Clay Courts.

Thing is with Del Potro is I just don't have confidence he can win over 5 sets on a hard court with his current fitness. If he wants to take out Murray or Djoker, he has to be ruthless and do it quick.
