Meenzer 15830 Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 In the two marathon races that doesnt bring in the £$ (Athens & Beijing) she has failed. Again neatly side-stepping her achievements in other non-remunerated marathons and other track events over the years. And you're shockingly naive if you honestly believe an Olympic win doesn't equal £$, albeit indirectly. What pisses me off about her is the face the BBC wank off over her yet when it comes to people like Cavendish, Hoy, Wiggins, The two lighweight rowers etc, they say fuck all about them! Have you watched any of the BBC's Olympic coverage at all? It's been a wall-to-wall cycling wankfest, for a start, and quite rightly so. And the athletics commentators are more than up-front about our poor crop of medal contenders this year, Injured Saint Paula included. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What races has Radcliffe competed for in the last 6 -8 years and won? The ones that are large payout, hey if you can do it like she does very well why not. Youre at the top of your game so why not go for these? Like I say, its the way the media have stuck her up there as if she is a life saving doctor, or sports related, Martin Johnson (I hate Yawnion too), Botham etc. They have done more than just running two or three times a year. When I mentioned the cycling I did mean in recent years. The cyclist rightly so should have a mention they have won a large % of our trophies! There was little mention of Cavendish at this years Tour until he won 3 stages! yet if old sloppy head won the NY Marathon its wanked on the back pages! I do think its the media who portray her as our favourite when she isnt! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest alex Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 (edited) She wasn't fit, she shouldn't have been there She's now talking about 2012 FFS If you really think she's that good vote for her as Sports Personality of the Year Gentlemen, I rest my case The Romanian lass that won it is the same age now that Radcliffe will be at 2012, why shouldn't she run it? she can do what she wants, I don't understand what you hate so much about her. In the two marathon races that doesnt bring in the £$ (Athens & Beijing) she has failed. She wasnt fit for this year and shouldnt have gone. She was prob using it as training for the £$ races anyways! What pisses me off about her is the face the BBC wank off over her yet when it comes to people like Cavendish, Hoy, Wiggins, The two lighweight rowers etc, they say fuck all about them! Its prob the way the BBC have portrayed her has some superhero when she isnt, there are far better sports people around. IMO of course. Fucking hell man. At least Rob's on the wind-up (I think).
