Would you go on.

With pleasure. 10 years at the top of her game. She’d ride you into next week.

I would gladly let her ride me into next week.:slight_smile:

The real question is how the fuck is Azerbaijan in Europe

No. I dislike her face and general personality.

I have ridden many, many girls whose faces I disliked and whose personalities I had little regard for. And I enjoyed it the most of the time.

I’m sure you have and I’m sure I have, but there’s about O’Rourke that really irks me. In fact I find a lot of athletes difficult to tolerate. A lot of them seem to have a very preppy, almost childish attitude.

Aye, to be serious for a moment, a lot of them seem like dickheads. I suppose if you’re an individual athlete it may become easy to become a self-centred prick. Like that time FenwayPark took his good self off the board in a huff.

Everard 6th in the 800m final earlier.

Britton running now, live on rte.ie with no commentary. 5 laps to go, she looks comfortable enough.

Moving up. Good chance of a medal here…

Scratch that, she’ll probably come 4th

3rd not so bad considering she it’s her first proper track season, I think.

Bronze! And could’ve gotten silver.

Kiernan said this was just a prep for the World Cross Country Champs for her. Some final lap from her. She’s some athlete.

Go for it.

yeah, they always have a superiority thing about them.

yeah but Kiernan is a bollox. Fair play to her though, id imagine it’s hard to change from cross country to track.

indeed, it would be rare to encounter a professional footballer, intercounty hurler or provincial rugby football member with a childish attitude, must be something unique to athletics.
just looking at the posts here it seems this is not live on RTE who have chosen to screen sunday mass instead, im working today but i was watching eurosport yesterday whose coverage is excellent. In previous years RTE would always have live coverage of these events.

it was on RTE 2.

cheers count and apologies to all in Montrose who are following this thread

I nearly did the same mickee321, when someone on here said it was on RTE i flicked to RTE ! and then subsequently cursed the soul who i had thought steered me wrong, it was only on further browsing I found it.

it must be my age but when a person say rte i think “rte1” and I nearly always think “network 2”
