• Thank you very much | Diolch yn fawr

    All at JackArmy.net would like to thank everyone who has played a part on this site over the past 25 years whether that is through writing, contributing, moderating, posting or just visting and reading.

    Without any of you the work that has gone into the site would have been pointless and we will always be proud that we built, generated and managed a community that was such a big part of the Swansea City supporting life for so long.

    It has been a pleasure to bring to you the site for so long but the time is now right to turn the lights out for the last time but we do it both with a heavy heart and a sense of pride driven by the so many messages received since we announced the closure.

    The site will remain here for a period until we archive and mothball it for the last time later this summer but all aspects are in a read only format.

    Thank you though for all the memories

    Phil Sumbler

Retires, what a Tennis Player he's been, outfukingstanding,

Thanks for the Memories Andy, enjoy your retirement. 👍 👍 👍
 
I thought he was playing in the mixed doubles with that fit English bird?
No he played in a game of doubles with his brother, but they lost and I think it was pre planned to retire after the game, don't think his injured back will allow him to play another match.
They were all there wishing him well, so I can't see how that would have happened if he was planning to play another match.
 
Fair play to the lad, he's carried the weight of a nation throughout his career and done so with dignity.
Aye, Scotland.

With England and Wales desperately hanging out of his arse, glory hunting.

Well done Andy, you'll be missed. Have a great retirement, hopefully as a commentator.

Scottish when he lost, British when he won.

Took a long time for the Wimbledon audience to warm to him properly, Henman was more to their taste, despite his failure to win anything. Unsurprisingly that changed when Murray started winning gold medals and Grand Slams.

Not sure about glory hunting. I tend to support the great sports people of the United Kingdom on the world stage, regardless of where they were born.

Same here. Although I will admit it made it more enjoyable for me that he is Scottish rather than English. There was clearly plenty of English tennis fans who wanted the first Brit to win a Grand Slam since Fred Perry to be English.

I'm not really bothered about nationality, I lean more towards the person.

I just support great sports people in non team sports. I preferred Bolt to Christie and Federer to Murray if I'm honest. I respect Murray massively though. It's just all relative. tennis players are playing for themselves, their nation is incidental to them, unless you are from Ukraine at the moment.

The Scottish bit earlier was tongue in cheek, but JS is right for any Scottish or Welsh...British, but only if they win.

He'd have smashed Henman into oblivion if they had both been around at the same time, Murray was fitter and had far more ability and was/is more likeable than the stuffy Henman.
