He is in danger of losing his original values, if he hasn't already. He can appear smug and self satisfied, and this puts a lot of people off. Also, his habit of staying down on the table after he has played his shot - for much longer than any other player - is very annoying.<br />However, the main reason many followers of the game do not like him is the incident a few years ago during his match with Stephen Maguire, a great player who is popular and down to earth. Maguire came out to start the session, but had forgotten his chalk and asked the referee's permission to go and get it. Whilst he was away Murphy spoke to the referee, who in turn consulted with the tournament director, and it was decided that Maguire should forfeit a frame. Snooker is supposed to be a gentlemanly game with rules of etiquette, and Murphy's intervention was seen by many as being extremely unsporting and opportunistic.<br />He's at the top of his sport now, but to stay there he needs to take a long hard look at himself and try to find some true character again. It's time in fact for him to practise what he preaches.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29605452.post-6197854518887805012009-04-28T02:03:00.000+01:002009-04-28T02:03:00.000+01:00Have no time for Murphy generally but any player g...Have no time for Murphy generally but any player getting booed is not what you want to see.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08321009220810847329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29605452.post-75931077458365240822009-04-27T15:14:00.000+01:002009-04-27T15:14:00.000+01:00tataAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29605452.post-17460398259182737262009-04-27T11:23:00.000+01:002009-04-27T11:23:00.000+01:00Anon,
I don't know if you're an F1 fan, but a few...Anon,<br /><br />I don't know if you're an F1 fan, but a few weeks ago, Brawn GP won their case to keep their "double-decker-diffuser" based on Ross Brawn's interpretation of the new rules. Ferrari are lagging in the championship and disagreed with Brawn's interpretation, their only real defence was to name-call and call Ross Brawn a "supremely arrogant man".<br /><br />As an analogy, it doesn't fit that well. :o) But Murphy comes across as a strong minded individual who generally believes he is doing the right thing, both privately and publicly. I think you always have to admire a person for their unconditional belief in themselves and their beliefs, be it religion, or anything else.<br /><br />This can backfire when you're in the public eye, because people can interpret this as "preaching" and I think the public are cottoning on to this with Murphy.<br /><br />On the face of it, Murphy seems to be the instigator of the split with his estranged wife, something I didn't know until I read the tabloids. For no reason at all, I thought Claire was instigator of the split and felt some sympathy for Murphy. This of course could be complete rubbish as we all know how the tabloids can lie and exploit people from time to time. Still, it seems the majority of the public believed what I believed until Claire came out in the tabloids. Rightly or wrongly, when in the public eye, hiding your personal life from the masses can be a dangerous game as Murphy is beginning to find out.<br /><br />On the plus side, I like Murphy and I think he's one of the best players in the game, that's good for the game. He advertises it very well and in the correct manner. The game would be poorer without him.<br /><br />But for some reason, as an onlooker from the outside, Murphy's private life seems to be imploding on him.<br /><br />Andyandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14040711881348024153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29605452.post-34720153134405567202009-04-27T10:51:00.000+01:002009-04-27T10:51:00.000+01:00andy
