Itâs 2.15.
I wen out for a look and Iâd say the first 50 to pass were as pale as I was
He is the son of former Clare hurler Sean Hehir
Makes sense with the Clare connection heâd win it when all the big shots are having a break.
No sponsor so no prize money this year means people running for the glory
They should introduce a handicap system so anybody can verify a time say under 3 hours and has a chance to win the money
So all them black fellas were coming over here because we were offering them handouts? I am appalled to hear this is happening in Modern Ireland.

Kisorio, who has competed in world cross-country championships and ran the third fastest half-marathon ever, told the German broadcaster ARD last year that he took illegal drugs âbecause everyone told me, I wasnât the only one â and none of the others got caught for dopingâ.
Makes sense now that Mr. Coghlan, who feels Seashell Myth did nothing wrong and shouldâve been involved in the Olympic Ceremony or torch procession or whatever last year, went out to Kenya to make a documentary on Brother Colm.
This Alberto Salazar chap (Mo Farahâs coach) is the focus of a Panorama programme tonight, he is accused of giving steroids to Galen Rupp who was second to Farah in the 10,000 metres at London 2012.
Farah himself is not implicated by the programme but draw your own conclusions.
Allan Wells who won the gold medal in the 100 metres at the 1980 Olympics is also said by the programme to have taken steroids.

That makes depressing reading
I called it. Wasnât exactly hard to call, in fairness.
I really hope Nike arenât forced out of sports funding after their run of horrible luck in athletes they fund turning out to be dopers.
Next theyâll be saying Dame Kelly Holmes was juiced up.
You did. The start of this thread is a great read. Until the bit about how the genetic makeup of Irish people predisposes us to be outstanding hop-o-me-thumb boxers. In fairness to you you called it from the get go.
And Piddler on the Route.

Will we ever again be able to believe in an athlete? How long will be before the jamacian lad is outed I wonder. That would be the end of athletics
Saw that mo farah program. He is juiced up big time . Shame on uk Athletics , good clean runners like tassotti canât get a break cps of these cheats
Come on. Pretty well all pro sport is corrupt to some degree and has been for donkeys years. Who is naive enough to believe in an athlete.

I drew my own conclusions about mo farah long ago.
Piddler on the route (actually it was a log), was apparently implicated in operation puerto.
