I did point out in the other thread that the reason nobody was considering Jamie B at the moment was that he has still not recovered from his very serious illness, but that post was ignored by our over-anxious Jamie B fan. Of course Jamie will be considered if he recovers form, it's just that at the moment that is not happening unfortunately. I suspect he tried to come back too soon.

Edit - oops, we're getting well off topic here. Go Josh!

Hi Guys,

I have not seen the thread about the perceived dismissal of JB on this board. I am Scottish and have never come across anything like that at all. I think if anything though it might be an over defensive response to some of the vile that gets posted on 606 regarding Andy Murray and his suposed Anti-Englishness which I am beginning to get incredibly p****d off at!! As it is I think Josh deserves a chance in DC but hopefully Jamie can find some sort of form and healthiness and get himself back up the rankings.


Thanks for that, Simmy. I know that most Scots are of your opinion (hence my mention of the paranoid minority), but the noisy ones can skew perception and some perspective-bereft Englishmen will be misled into aggressively defending that which doesn't require it.

I will continue to support the Scots in tennis with equal fervour to the English, Welsh and N. Irish (except Natasha Khan, of course) while they play under a "GBR" tag.

In which match was that? I thought he was out of the doubles here already and hasn't played in Metz yet.

I'm guessing that post was a case of Activeboard being silly and reposting an old post as it is identical to the post informing us of Bloomers' loss here in the singles a day ago.
