"His playing career might be over but he still has a tennis career ahead of him through coaching. Ive never been a fan of him either tbh. Personality of a fence post. If you want to look and call someone a hero that deserves your sympathy but would never ask for it, look at our Doddy Weir. Theres how a real man behaves when faced with a shit hand life can sometimes deal you. "yeah I agree with his personality hate his accent lol But it's still his life and what he's worked for all his life.for that to be cut short I feel.sorry for him..same as a young footballer just because they are loaded dosn't make it any easier on them personally.look at John Kennedy playing for celtic...promising career ahead of him then a horrific injury playing for Scotland and boom!! That's the end of that. | |||

Damned if he does, damned if he doesn't, it would seem. He is seeing a lifetimes' work and commitment slipping away from him, and all the money in the world won't fill that void. He has done what no one else in British mens' tennis had done since Fred Perry, twice, won Olympic gold, the US Open, and led Britain to Davis Cup success. He has done that on the court, where he shows his character, not as the shy, uncomfortable person in front of the media. If you don't like him, fine, but don't mock him for being human. | |||

"Andy Murray blubbering like a teenage kid in front of the worlds media . Give me strengthen. Not as if he will have a poor retirement. No Appologies for this one guys, he needs to man up. "That is a heartless attitude which disappoints me. Andy Murray is fantastic tennis player and you should be very proud of him. Nobody wishes to give up something they love due to health issues so my heart goes out to him. As others have said its not about the money its about competing in the sport he has dedicated his life to and to have to retire at his age is a devastating blow although a wise decision to make. Its a very emotional time for him and we should all be supporting him instead of slagging him. He has done Scotland very proud over many years so i wish him well in the years to come. | |||

"He mumbles like a teenager and wimpers like a child. He needs to take a brave pill and be a big boy. " See this attitude, man up, don't blubber like a kid, it's a bit 80's now is it not? Why reinforce a negative male stereotype when the effect on male mental health is clearly documented. It was his career, he loved it, he can't do it anymore, that would have me crying. Maybe a wee bit of space for humanity? Please? | |||

"Men are allowed to have and show emotions. Of course he's upset! He's 31! Tennis players are usually at their peak about then and he was most likely expecting another few years to win before winding down. As said already, it's not about the money at that stage, it's about the achievement for something he's spent his while life working towards and now it's over before he really had a choice. This kind of attitude is why male suicide rates are so high...
V x"100% agree. The guy loves tennis and has worked hard all his life and it's been taken away prematurely. And it's never good to be premature! I had to finish on a joke!  Maybe with a year or twos rest he might find a way back. You never know. | |||

"I agree with lots of the comments above about it being a devastating time but this guy is also a role model for thousands if not millions of kids. Its another example of the snowflake society. Sorry but its true . He should have came on and been proud of his achievements and proven what a great champion he is and said he will fight on , whether it be at competition or coaching level and inspire young people not come on in front of the world media and snivel and hide behind your hat because you dont like the question or the answer, thats what my 4 year used to do before they were educated that its easier to answer the question honestly and the reality of that answer was never as bad as they thought. " totally disagree there devil So emotion is a sign of weekness? | |||

" Yes should bring back the 50s where good men just died at their work and then next day got up and got on with it. There is me thinking we had moved on to. Guys allowed to show emotion, its his life, his passion and his obsession. He's done more for this country's profile in the last 15 years than a most. Snowflake society statement belongs next to every other stupid throw away catch phrase going about these days. Having a mental health issue or caring does not make you soft. It makes you human. And btw I think he I'd funny as fuck...listen to him | |||

" This kind of attitude is why male suicide rates are so high...
V x"100% this. The guy is clearly devestated for his own reasons. But nah, he has the personality of a fence post and should just man-up. Imagine "blubbering" in public?? | |||
"Id say being able to show emotion is manning up its something I would seldom do with loved ones let alone everyone" Totally agree. Men should be able to show emotions more without being ridiculed and emasculated for it | |||

But he kept on going, didn't give up. Now he is being forced to give up, he is still a shining example in my eyes. Even if he wasn't, he's still entitled to be devestated at his career ending and being able to show it publicly is maybe one thing that might help him through it | |||

On interview i sat in a room with 12 other " professional " people who all had the same opinion on a particular subject we had a discussion on except me . 12 people would have returned a child to a home because the parents had certain issues we should all accept as part of life. Only myself thought the childs needs should come first, thats why i was sitting the interview in the first place. I see Andy Murray as a role model for these kids and teaching kids that there life is over because of an injury and blubbering on TV is not something a well accredited sportsman should be conceying to young people. I really do have sympathy for the guy but going ott and burying your head in your hat is not teaching young people to overcome challenges, its teaching them whats the point. In my opinion. | |||

Maybe it teaches kids that showing your emotions does not make you a 'wimp' or a 'snowflake', if a top sportsman can do it then it's okay for them to? Rather than holding it all in then hanging yourself. Just a thought.
But no. These kids will learn it's not okay to show their feelings. Because people like you will be voicing their opinions on how Andy Murray showing his emotions was 'cringey' and he should 'man-up'.
Tbh honest though, if you can't handle seeing a grown man cry, if it makes you so uncomfortable then I'd suggest it's you that's the 'snowflake'. | |||

I was pointing out all the reasons he has not given up easily. But that doesn't really matter. It doesn't matter if it's Andy Murray crying on screen or any other sportsman. Male suicide rates are far higher than females exactly because men have traditionally been told to keep it in, don't show your emotions, don't be a 'snowflake', man-up. And you are perpetuating this by sharing your views that it's 'cringey' seeing a sportsman cry. However devestated he may be. Talking about it to the cameras brings on tears, he must be doing it for the cameras. Because men don't cry do they? It's not just you, I'm disappointed to see other guys on the thread perpetuating the same tired nonsense. Things need to change if male mental health and suicide rates are to fall. And it starts with letting me know they can let their emotions out, they can talk about what is hurting them. Without muppets like you telling them to 'man-up' | |||

I see Andy Murray as a role model for these kids and teaching kids that there life is over because of an injury and blubbering on TV is not something a well accredited sportsman should be conceying to young people. I really do have sympathy for the guy but going ott and burying your head in your hat is not teaching young people to overcome challenges, its teaching them whats the point. In my opinion. Despite him clawing his way to the very top of his profession, yeah he gives up way too easily The man overcame the dunblane tragedy and years of being laughed at by the media every time he lost a game. But yeah, he gives up way too easily...
Maybe it teaches kids that showing your emotions does not make you a 'wimp' or a 'snowflake', if a top sportsman can do it then it's okay for them to? Rather than holding it all in then hanging yourself. Just a thought.
But no. These kids will learn it's not okay to show their feelings. Because people like you will be voicing their opinions on how Andy Murray showing his emotions was 'cringey' and he should 'man-up'.
Tbh honest though, if you can't handle seeing a grown man cry, if it makes you so uncomfortable then I'd suggest it's you that's the 'snowflake'.
Your using the Dunblane massacre to strengthen an argument about a guy crying on TV because he has to retire through injury . Cmon. Dunblane and my appointment as a childrens panel member, next it will be Lockerbie as hes from Scotland to say its all those things combined. I never once saud i couldnt handle it i said i was cringing watching it. As said before it never came as a shock to him , he knew it way before this press conference so in my eyes it was all for the cameras.
The last line! "So what does he actually gain from crying "for the cameras" then? As has been pointed out, the guy is a fucking millionaire, so why worry what people think? | |||
"I agree with lots of the comments above about it being a devastating time but this guy is also a role model for thousands if not millions of kids. Its another example of the snowflake society. Sorry but its true . He should have came on and been proud of his achievements and proven what a great champion he is and said he will fight on , whether it be at competition or coaching level and inspire young people not come on in front of the world media and snivel and hide behind your hat because you dont like the question or the answer, thats what my 4 year used to do before they were educated that its easier to answer the question honestly and the reality of that answer was never as bad as they thought. If you think Andy Murray hasn't inspired children then you are clearly letting your dislike of him overshadow the big picture. You know, the more of your posts that I read, the more I wonder how on earth you got accepted on to a children's panel. Your attitude is so stuck in the dark ages it is often appalling Jen its not an attitude i have its an opinion only. My childrens panel acceptance was a bit of a mystery to me too.

You said him crying would teach kids how to give up too easily. I was pointing out all the reasons he has not given up easily. But that doesn't really matter. It doesn't matter if it's Andy Murray crying on screen or any other sportsman. Male suicide rates are far higher than females exactly because men have traditionally been told to keep it in, don't show your emotions, don't be a 'snowflake', man-up. And you are perpetuating this by sharing your views that it's 'cringey' seeing a sportsman cry. However devestated he may be. Talking about it to the cameras brings on tears, he must be doing it for the cameras. Because men don't cry do they?
It's not just you, I'm disappointed to see other guys on the thread perpetuating the same tired nonsense. Things need to change if male mental health and suicide rates are to fall. And it starts with letting me know they can let their emotions out, they can talk about what is hurting them. Without muppets like you telling them to 'man-up' "Muppets ? Plz refer to last post re abuse. Kids dont see that part of a sportsman , ie what they have went through to get where they are, they see a sportsman crying on tv because he got injured and his life is over, its far from over i assure you. . | |||

"You're just not listening are you. Nothing new there though. And yes I think any man looking down on another because he has the courage to show his emotions is being a muppet. How come it's okay for you to call Andy Murray 'cringey' and part of the 'snowflake generation' who needs to 'man-up' and that's okay. But I say you are a muppet and that means I've lost the argument as I have nothing constructive to say? You really do make me shake my head in wonder.

I have said in Andy Murray's case it was cringey and not a good look from a man who has achieved the top level of his sport and should be looking to enspire others, that in my opinion does not mean go on world tv and hide crying behind a hat making out it was all for nothing, his life us not over, its just a new chapter. | |||
"Theres a diffrence between knowing something and publicly saying it. unfortunatly in todays media driven society he couldnt just say nothing as he would have been dammed for that. the guy has done nothing but focus almost his whole life in the persuit of his dream......then faced upto the fact he is losing what has been all he has known. ive been in the unfortunate position of knowing something and coping with it but thesecond I had to put words to it to people every emotion bursts through at once. To be fair andy murray really wont give a flying fuck what folk on a swingers site think he knows the truth of the matter." ffs kola...here's me thinking he was reading all these? | |||

An adult who has been able to keep his emotions in check in the white hot heat and the world spotlight when serving for grand slams! So to cry about something which he had known is on the cards for almost 2 years was going to finish his career, no tennis player comes back from this to play at their highest level. So he hasn't been able to adjust to this possibility in 2 years??? What are you suggesting by saying it's ok to cry about that 2 years later? It's old news, he wasn't told yesterday his career was over and he'd lose everything. Are you suggesting he's got a problem with coming to terms with reality? It is he a "Man" in a child's body? Because it was emotionally immature and nothing else in my book. I get when he cried at Wimbledon, thats ok, he lost and he wanted it so badly and that's ok that's emotional. That press conference was just cringeworthy and I don't agree with He devil much. I'm not saying it was staged, but he let himself down in my book, and if that's how he gets on he comes across as self centred, selfish and ungrateful for the opportunities and privileges he's had and his own achievements. But the press love the hype and interest has suddenly rocketed in the Australian open when many casual/Wimbledon tennis fans wouldn't have batted and eyelid and he might have gone off unnoticed. | |||

"Only in Scotland, could a former World No 1 get criticised, for being emotional when retiring.....let’s all criticise him for being successfull, for being a millionaire and for having to give up something he loves. FFS this country and its inhabitants!!! " You're right! He's the first sportsman ever had to give up his chosen sport. Why don't you guys have a national day of mourning? Everyone can cry together! Ffs | |||

"Andy Murray can shed a tear over a lost career. He’s grown up in a town that lost 16 children and a teacher in the Dunblane school shooting where both Andy and Jamie were pupils at the time. Andy Murray reached world no 1 ranking against everyone’s expectations. He’s battled the media and his lack of personality. He may not have the charisma of McEnroe or Federer but he’s carried the weight of more than just a tennis career for most of his life. Give the guy a break. If you were cut down in your prime I’m sure you’d all find it difficult to hold it together at a press conference. " Well said! | |||
"I think everyone has made thier view clear.... but is he Scotland’s Greatest Ever Athlete ??? Yes from me... are there any other serious contenders ?.... should this be a new thread?.....what should I have for my dinner ?...." Only other contender I can think of is Chris Hoy | |||

"while neither agree or disagree whether he should man up or not surely his retirement is not headline news, not with everything else that is going on, ie Brexit, job loses etc etc. "It is headline news for many of the points raised here. One of the greatest Scottish/British sportsmen of recent time. Couple of points to add - yes he has been injured for over a year and spent that time recovering and trying to get back to form. It is NOW that he has started to accept that he cannot do that but has had to be in a positive if frustrating place during his attempt to recover that form. So yes, this acceptance is still raw for him. That’s what you saw on camera coming out. Personally, I’m a very keen tennis player as are my kids - the inspiration and pride that he has given us all - across the tennis playing community and beyond - is immense. I include Jamie and Judy in that too. As to his personality - fencepost? No. He is dry humoured true and monotoned but funny, whitty and thoughtful and kind. As to the money? He deserves all that he’s won and made and whilst I’d settle for a fraction of it I’d not begrudge hime for being wealthy. Can’t believe some of the comments that have been made here and sparked me to jump in to have to defend this man. Shame. Let the man have a greet ffs. | |||

"His playing career might be over but he still has a tennis career ahead of him through coaching. Ive never been a fan of him either tbh. Personality of a fence post. If you want to look and call someone a hero that deserves your sympathy but would never ask for it, look at our Doddy Weir. Theres how a real man behaves when faced with a shit hand life can sometimes deal you.
You say he has the personality of a fence post, but criticise him for getting emotional. Damned if he does, damned if he doesn't, it would seem.
He is seeing a lifetimes' work and commitment slipping away from him, and all the money in the world won't fill that void.
He has done what no one else in British mens' tennis had done since Fred Perry, twice, won Olympic gold, the US Open, and led Britain to Davis Cup success. He has done that on the court, where he shows his character, not as the shy, uncomfortable person in front of the media.
If you don't like him, fine, but don't mock him for being human."Well said, i have grown up watching many super players over the years,the last thing i ever would of considered was watching a Scotsman win Wimbledon!! Its to be proud of, a story that will be told for decades to all and especially (like Andy) to be conveyed to future "Andy Murrays" in Scotland where we never in our wildest dreams ever imagined a scot winning at wimbledon. I get the lack of sympathy in these tough times, he wont be filling in a "ability to work" form ever, to criticise the "way he talks",lack of perky upbeat after match interviews etc, he aint the worst, these feckin thick as shite obviously at the end of the day, the gaffer said, the boys done well,footy players that earn more in a week regardless if play pish or brilliant yet take your money via season tickets or gate tickets, those wee tits irritate me way more !,,  | |||

Everyone else has added mental health, dunblane tragedy, its ok to be a man and cry and incredibly my appointnent to the childrens panel ( wtf ??? ) to strenthen what was never debateable.

" Kids dont see that part of a sportsman , ie what they have went through to get where they are, they see a sportsman crying on tv because he got injured and his life is over, its far from over i assure you. . " I hope he will be seen around the world crying tears of joy this time , perhaps sending the RIGHT message to young people that you CAN actually overcome tough times instead of sending a false message that life is over after a tragic event or injury. A wee snippet from the media.: Andy Murray says winning a doubles title five months after thinking his career might be over is more special than many of his singles wins. Murray and Feliciano Lopez beat Joe Salisbury and Rajeev Ram 7-6 (8-6) 5-7 10-5 in the Queen's final on Sunday. Former world number one Murray had a hip resurfacing operation - from which no-one has ever returned to play singles - in January. "I've won with a metal hip. It is mental really," the 32-year-old said. Murray had the resurfacing operation - where the femur head is smoothed and capped with metal - just 157 days before he returned to competitive action at the west London club last week. That came shortly after he broke down in tears at the Australian Open, saying he thought he would not be able to continue playing if he had the operation | |||

"You've clearly never thought you'd have to give up something you love..." "Thought" being the key word here, sinderella. Hes just proven my original point of posting this thread 24 weeks ago. He is a role model and he went on tv blubbering away hiding in his hat, look at him now . All happy that hes fought through his injury and won another tournament. As i said 24 weeks ago , his life in tennis was far from over. Ps whilst i dont like the guy i still congratulate him on his latest achievement. Lets hope he now comes back and every tournament he enters and win or lose, he is humble enough to admit he was wrong 24 weeks ago by bubbling about his life being over . Now that would be an inspiration to young people and would get my respect . With millions in the bank he wont really care if hes respected or not anyway though . | |||

"Andy Murray blubbering like a teenage kid in front of the worlds media . Give me strengthen. Not as if he will have a poor retirement. No Appologies for this one guys, he needs to man up. "This, plus all the bollocks about ‘snowflake society’ is a fantastic illustration of a massive problem. Telling a man to ‘man up’ for daring to have emotions, for feeling anything, and for showing it is tragic. Be some out-of-date Neanderthal if you like, but get over thinking that you can tell others how to feel or act. It has nothing to do with you. ‘Snowflake’ use is usually an excellent indicator of narrowmindedness and a desire to impose a way of thinking on others. Good on him for caring and for showing it. It has nothing to do with his bank account, retirement option etc. Telling someone infinitely stronger, fitter and more successful to ‘man up’ is cringeworthy. | |||
