I'd love to see Murray tell her where to shove her f*cking knighthood.

Me three. I'm wondering how best to go about being awarded one so I can do the same.
Re: New sporting Knights from queenie
Seems being an Olympian is a sure fire way to get an honour.
Loads of sportsmen and women with long careers in other sports are not even considered.
Re: New sporting Knights from queenie
OBE's for Chris Coleman and Michael O Neill (NI) for services to football.
Surprisingly, nothing for Roy Hodgson for services to comedy.

Arise Sir Ken Dodd
Ffs if ever you needed proof that the whole honours thing is a load of bollocks, there it is right there.

Unbelievable
Re: New sporting Knights from queenie
Absolute fecking joke, Sir Andy Murray, Sir Mo Farrah - Victotoria Beckham (a working mum - my arse) These and many others get very well paid to do what they do = that should be reward enough
Re: New sporting Knights from queenie
The majority of people who should be recognised in this way are those who provoke the remark "Who?", and then later "Wow, they have done great work for people".
Andy Murray has been rewarded with many millions of pounds and international recognition for his sporting achievements, if you want to give it to him for his charity work then fair enough but he does not need an award from the Queen for his sport. Others who have been given it in recent years have been awarded because of the circles they run in and arguably have done more to hurt the country than help it (see Gary Barlow etc.) rather than their selfless work.

Well perhaps the Queen feels some affinity towards the unfunny, gap toothed scouser, both of them spent years not paying tax.

Ken Dodd ran faster than Mo Farah when the taxman was behind him.

Re: New sporting Knights from queenie
When Ken Dodd was having his appendix removed the Surgeon found another £100,000.
Re: New sporting Knights from queenie
My Brother was only saying ( on the 27th of dec ) that it is funny to see Murray now, he used to be " Oh and I am Scottish, Not British , blah blah blah " But when he started to win things and the serious sponsors came knocking, it was " Oh British and Proud "
funny that

They waited until he cleared his tax debt.

I don' t think he did.Somewhat surprisingly he was cleared.
Re: New sporting Knights from queenie
As Pearcey3 rightly pointed out Ken Dodd was found not guilty of tax evasion. Amazing how many overlook that tiny detail. Mud sticks, as they say.

I thought it was more the London papers labelling him as Scottish when he lost, but claiming him as British when he won?
