Refreshing that we didn’t get a “I did my best” response, she’s clearly a winner who accepts nothing less than success. If she can stay injury free that mentality bodes well for her future.
Expectations maybe a little high.Some people comparing with Sonia,which is totally unfair. She was world class winning European,world and Olympic medals.Same as young players going to England trying to be the next Roy Keane. Maybe 1 out of 100 might make it.Sonia and Roy were the exceptions,but with loads of hard work and commitment who knows?
Not that clean, Michelle Smith,Martin Fagan,Cathal Lombard,Michael O Reilly,sprinter guy(forgot his name)!, Cian OConnors horse!There was an amatuer cyclist caught.Even Kelly in his day was banned for a month.
Wouldn’t mind been her training partner
Is she delusional she will never be able to compete with the African athletes. I really hope she isn’t get much taxpayer money for funding it’s an embarrassment watching them and the other losers who commentate on RTE, unbelievable.
Gobsh!te
She might if she was on the same stuff they are on….
Clueless
Jesus Noel, don’t hold back.
She was well able to compete with them as a junior, a few years of injury set her back. And she’s more than justified any funding she gets which I doubt is very much at all by winning a European medal this year. You’re a clown
Everyone is on drugs exempt the Irish athletes it’s great to have such a clean nation.
*Except*
Some coach, back home in the RTE studio. She needs to upgrade on that guy.
I think Noel we’ll all just pack up and go home. At least then we wouldn’t have to put up with the head up the arse comments you are likely to enlighten our live with.
