[Letters]

STOP COMPARING THE SPORT YOU'RE WATCHING TO OTHER SPORTS!!!!

Great touchdown from Fed there.

The commentary has been awful throughout

[Letters]

2 sets to love

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Fed takes the second set 6-1!

Just one away for 19 and 8. :popcorn:

Out comes Fallon again.

[Letters]

1911 the last time there was a retirement in the final.

Will probably (literally) limp on and get thumped in the 3rd

[McNamara That Ghost...]

100% points won on second serve for Fed, in that set. :wacko:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Medical time out for Cilic.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

We get the reveal of the new Dr. Who after this match. Maybe it's Cilic.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Fed making it more difficult by slicing all the time. :lol:

[Letters]

If it's a woman I'm going to smash the place up.

Although I'm at home so maybe not

[McNamara That Ghost...]

What a backhand crosscourt winner. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Adv. Federer.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Saved with serve and volley.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Cilic holds on, 1-2 he leads, Federer to serve.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Two break points for Federer. :pray:

[Letters]

2 break points

[Letters]

Breaks

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Federer breaks and leads 4-3 in the third set!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Cilic serving to stay in the Championship!

[Letters]

Cilic serving our stay in it

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Cilic holds on, Federer to serve it out. :pray:

[Letters]

Cilic holds. Federer will serve for the title. With new balls

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Two Championship points!!!

[Letters]

2 championship points

[McNamara That Ghost...]

One remaining.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Federer wins 6-3 6-1 6-4 to win his 8th Wimbledon title, his 2nd Slam of the year,19th Slam overall and this one without dropping a set. :scarf:

8 is the outright record at Wimbledon.

Sampras :lol:

Renshaw. :haha:

Federer. :bow:

Last two Slams have been won without dropping a set in fact. :lol:

93rd title in total. :bow:

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

:bow:

What a man.

[Letters]

Game. Set. Match.

Disappointing final really

Federer :bow: Not a single set dropped

[Letters]

93rd title in total. :bow:
:wacko:

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

Congratulations to Roger. The greatest men's Wimbledon champion in the open era

I've seen every one of his 19 Grand Slam titles.

What a champion!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Wimbledon Champion and the new Dr. Who! :bow:

[Letters]

Tennis players :bow:

Once again showing up footballers as the arse holes they are

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Castle comparing Federer to Serena, Graf, Evert and Navratilova for some reason.

[Letters]

Tim Henman out of sync with his own lips :unsure:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Jodie Whittaker. :haha:

Letters smash.

[Letters]

Oh fuck off!

Maybe she'll be non-binary and not identify as male or female

[GP]

Good choice.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

I don't watch it anymore so it could've been Keith Chegwin for all it would annoy me tbf.

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

Letters, it's a tv show and more specifically it's a tv show that is ultimately for Kids

Frankly until Peter Capaldi was cast I've hated Doctor Who since it was brought back, more like a British Buffy the Vampire Slayer but it wasn't geared at my generation.

[GP]

It's a show about a time travelling alien. Why can't that be a woman?

[Niall_Quinn]

Simple. Because it's not done as a character development, it's done as another concession to political correctness - the disease that is destroying our society and culture. These faggoty liberals who believe they have a lock on morality have long since hijacked the BBC. That's the same BBC that would be dead were it not for the extortion racket that sustains it.

[GP]

lmao

I hope the next bond is a woman too.

[Niall_Quinn]

Yeah. "James" Bond. I wouldn't put it past the stupid cunts.

Don't often agree with NQ about...well, anything really but this.
A time-travelling alien can be either gender, as can an international spy or a "sleuth", but Dr Who, James Bond and Sherlock Holmes are male characters.

[GP]

Not any more.

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

Dr Who is a male character but I can't say I really give a fuck, and don't really see it as the thin end of the wedge in imposing moral conformity.
The real pathetic thing for me was the campaign to prevent Kris Marshall getting the part, people need to get out more.
It's not like it's a new idea, the idea of a woman Doctor Who is older than me (it was first mooted when Tom Baker slung his scarf on the hook).
I think people who are celebrating that the new doctor who is a woman are as sad as the people really getting bent out of shape about it (not saying that includes you Letters) it's a fucking tv show that in the main is no where near as good as it was because it's geared towards the instant gratification seeking modern tv audience who sit watching on a Saturday teatime.
If it happens to be on when I'm not busy I'll watch it.

[Letters]

Dr Who is a male character but I can't say I really give a fuck
:lol: I think that's a fairly reasonable response. I think it's silly but tbh they lost me at Capaldi, never liked him as the Doctor.
I guess at least we have DILF now.
It's more the reasoning behind it which rankles which as NQ says is all about political correctness and bending over backwards to show they dig equality.

There's no thin end of the wedge. Last time we saw the thin end was decades past when we should have had the sense to put a stop to this shite. We're into carpet bombing now, ensuring no stone is left unturned. And, to bring this back on topic, why weren't the women playing the men at Wimbledon? Fucking disgraceful sexism - even if none of the self hating women tennis players want that.

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

My only opinion on male/female dynamic in tennis (I don't watch women's tennis it's boring) is that if women want equal prize money that's fine by me but you should play best of five sets if you want to get it.

I'm the opposite Capaldi is the only one of the new broom I've liked.

If people want to talk about political correctness gone mad, they'd have gone for the awful Russel T Davies and the token gay characters everywhere. To the point where when there was a gay assistant it was actually subtle by comparison.

[Master Splinter]

Well done to Jodie Whittaker on winning the genderfluid singles title.

And to the organisms who won the to-be-determined doubles titles.
