Serious question. Would that hairstyle not have cost her time???
Maybe if it came down to 1000ths of a second. Adeleke looked tired in the semi and she was slower again in the final. I think her semi time would have got her the bronze. Apparently the US college season is brutal in terms of the amount of racing they do. The runner Adeleke beat into 2nd in the NCAA final didn't make it out of her heat. You could see at 250m her head was already rolling from side to side. I think she was just knackered. But she has huge potential and is now a genuine medal contender in future Olympics and World Champs.
Will Adeleke have to go back to America again?
That's a tough enough gig and only 20 years old. Pity she couldn't get that level of training in Ireland but probably not available.
Great potential and hopefully she stays injury free.
She's turned pro so can't compete in the NCAA but will continue to train in Texas with the same coaches. Relatively few of the big meets she'll be targeting in future are in the US. Only one Diamond League event each year.

Hello joemass are you going to be a man about this?
I hope the money was paid up. Looking that poster history Joe Mass has form for calling out people who don't agree with his opinion .

Very sorry about Motty - feels like part of my childhood is gone. I was allowed to stay up to watch MOTD from 7 / 8 years of age and at that point the classic combination was Jimmy Hill as Presenter / pundit, with two games shown, commentated on by John Motson / Barry Davies. Great times.
Personal favourite would be the 'Quality goal from a quality player' line for Tony Currie's goal for Sheffield United against West Ham and this commentary of Ronnie Radford's wonder goal.
A man whose absence from the commentary box, made the heart grow fonder.
R.I.P.

People need to understand how the GAA disciplinary system works. The media are consistently bad in this regard.
Also - read the rule and try to understand it. If this gets pushed the logical penalty is a small fine (read the rule before you come at me). There are options for penalties presented in the rule from severe (award/forfeiture) to moderate (replay) to light (fine). In the range of possible breaches of this rule ask yourself truthfully - what category does it fall into? About 10 seconds of playing time where the ball doesn't come near the play?
And if Glen appeal and a replay is ordered Kilmacud will lawyer up and fire this back at them. Do the rules state what sort of infractions is severe/moderate and light?

The one game I thought they were hard done by was a game where it was near over, draw I think at the time, where Small committed a fairly obvious free, in scoring distance, and the ref ignored it.
Sadly too many refs got free holidays off the back of Dublin wins.
