Hope she falls flat on her ugly face. Or sulks off again when she's not winning. [-X

as one of our few world class sportsmen, women, call em what you want, i hope she is back to her best

b*llocks.

 

she gets paid to be a professional athlete. professional footballers don't walk off the pitch if they're getting beat 3-0 with 20 mins left - they get on with it and face defeat like professionals.

 

"it was too hot" in greece apparently... well fook me Athens hot in July/August eh there's a turnup. Why the fook wasn't she training in Greece prior to the games to aclimatise?? She's like a scouser - becomes a victim of something she did wrong.

 

don't have any sympathy for her at all. if any of us walked out of a job cos it weren't goin our way we'd be sacked.

It'll not be too hot for Paula this time around, though.

 

I tend to see both sides of this argument. She is one of our few world class athletes, but her approach to the Olympics seemed all wrong.

if you were as good at your job as she is at hers, you'd walk into a new, better paid one tomorrow

with a reputation for being half-hearted and quitting when the job got tough??

always worked fer keegan, and btw, she 'quit' once

 

in her younger days she was often out-kicked after making the pace

 

she somehow made herselfa better, faster athlete through sheer hard work

 

folk who call paula radcliffe 'half-hearted' are mis informed

 

you wanna change yer snout

She's got a house just up the road, directly opposite the Priory boozer. I can just imagine her staggering out after a session and only making it halfway home, collapsing in the gutter

Did you know she actually shat herself just before she pulled up in the Athens run?

 and btw, she 'quit' once

 

in Athens she dropped out twice - the marathon and a track event, may have been the 1500.

 

Fair play she wasn't good enough - but i refuse to feel sorry for someone who has had the chance that thousands in this country would do anything for (compete in the Olympics and get paid a decent living as an athlete) - only to "f*ck it I'm not gonna win so I'll sit down".

I thought she sat down cause her legs wouldn't move any more

 

Quite hard to run when you can't move your legs

Just been looking up the word 'pedantic' in the dictionary

I've never been a fan of athletes who wear pop socks.

any sane person, or a quitter, wouldn't have run the 10000m a week after being unable to go any further in the marathon

 

to suggest she's had opportunities denied to others is inaccurate too

 

and where did i say i feel sorry for her

 

i just feel she is unfairly looked on as some kind of failure, when she quite obviously isn't

 

those same folk that have a go at her now, praise the likes of gerrard/lampard/terry/rooney et al, as world beaters, and prefer to knock her, when clearly she is a world beater, and they are not

 

anyway

 

just going for a run

post of the hour

 

well done

Anyone who can shit themselves and keep running will do for me.

spose its better in her keks than in the bath

I shit myself at the Reebok once when Youri scored :-$

Fennt - what does pendantic mean?

 

PB O:)

ABC it's as easy as 123

Anyone who can shit themselves and keep running will do for me.

I seem to remember shitting myself and running many times in the late 70s 8-[

Was that a shitty run or a runny shit

She was actually ill when she ran the marathon in Athens, but she still decided to give it a go. She shouldn't have bothered as everyone has just given her shit for stopping.

She'd been taking Ibuprofen as the British Olympic team doctor had told her too, the only problem is they give you the shits, so she basically ran the marathon on an empty stomach, equivalent to not eating for 3-4 days. I find it amazing that she managed to run as far as she did.

 

I wonder how many of the people on here that are slagging her of have actually tried running any distance?

 

Pity you can't support a British Athlete.

A very fruitful days fishing on a Friday, even got her personal trainer.

i`m pleasantly surprised at just how many athletic specialists have visited this board in one day. amazing. i didn`t know that cyberland had such quality knowledge

She's a bit on the skinny side though :-#

 

PB O:)

Has anybody here - seen my old friend, Abraham

do you reckon she likes it up her pipe?
