Things that give you the sh1ts

You're right, leave him there.

You're really gonna hold it against a bloke for finishing his race at the Commonwealth Games that he's worked so hard for?

Couldn't even name the bloke so I can't hold it against him, but if the Comm Games medal is worth more than being a good human then I under rated the Comm games.

so you wanted him to be the 16th person to hover over the Scot did you?

[HH3]

Correct me if I'm wrong but is this the Australian you're all saying should have stopped?

The guy to the right of the lady with the Elastoplast bag, and to the left of the first aid trained police officer.

Of course not, he was in a race.

[Lightning McQueen]

Imagine winning gold by running past him and the Scottish bloke dies.

What could he do? What if he helped him up, helped him along and then he suffered a cardiac arrest?

[Booney]

I'll concede, just run past him.

Play on.

Interesting take on this Booney. I had this type of opinion pegged for hysterical middle aged women wanting people to think of the children with no knowledge of sport or the medical fraternity.

Play on indeed.

Where are the 15 people MW said that are hovering around him?

[Spargo]

I think our bloke should’ve stepped on him before continuing...

[The Bedge]

Made me sick watching on the news all the spectators on the fence taking photos, staring at him, and then a journo/photographer standing over him taking photos.. not one person offered shade or water or anything! Just stood and stared!

Ashamed to be an Aussie seeing that.. and how there is not an ambulance or emergency staff on standby for an event like a marathon is beyond me!

My knowledge and understanding of sport is first and foremost you're a good sport.

Play on.

Unless any of you have run a marathon, you have no right to judge.

Can't compare stopping after running for 40km to John Landys 1500m run.

If the Australian had made the Scot fall over and didn't stop - well then there may be some argument.

There's a time and a place.

[HH3]

I like the part where no one can bring themselves to admit they overreacted.

I’ve never laid an egg but I can make a damn good omelette...

I've never run a marathon, but i'm sure it would be very difficult to stop/start - especially after that distance. I suspect it's one of those things once you start and find a rhythm you cant stop until the finish or else your body will just shut down.

So i'm with you.

Also if I was running a marathon and saw a guy on the ground, I would think there would be support staff and trained professionals nearby rushing to help, so no need for me to get involved, he'd be in safer hands.

There was by the time he got there going by the photo

So we can only ever have an opinion on something we've actually done?

Rules out lots of things for me and will make this a pretty boring place.*





*I've been to a boring place so I'm allowed to comment on one.

Yep and he missed his moment.

I'll admit when I'm wrong. That seems to be the difference here.

I made one this morning.

2 eggs, one tomato diced, some onion and capsicum with a bit of cheese to top finished with cracked black pepper. Was delicious.
