Murray in damage limitation mode

During press interviews earlier this month, Andy Murray said he would be supporting "anyone but England" in the World Cup finals. He now appears to have entered damage limitation mode

In a statement posted on his Blogg yesterday, he said: "I Want to say that I'm not anti-English!" . Funny thing is that bit of his post has now been removed although most of the comments referred to in a BBC report about it are still there, including one from a droll Scot suggesting he get himself a tee-shirt with the slogan "Anyone but me" on it.

The BBC report is on their Scotland pages. Pity they couldn't post it on their England ones too.
