She should have got someone to push her along in a big bed for the 10 km...............................while being shagged senseless on it for the duration of the race.

Trust me, she would def of come first in that race!!

I so would.

Even despite the fact she's technically 50% Chris De Burgh.

Rosanna-gate?

So if she tripped into a gate while running, would it be Rosanna-gate-gate?

Was never sure why this event was ever billed as a marathon of any sort. 9km? Hardly a marathon in any sense of the word.

Sounds like a mini-marathon to me.

Indeed! Feck all the charities which were supported - the important thing here is getting pedantic about terminology!

I guarantee you that within 6 months, she'll be spilling all to Barry Egan in a "Sindo exclusive" about how "beastly internet trolls bullied her" when they called shennanigans on her.

With that in mind, be aware that there will be a few choice quotes lifted out of context in here and wanged into a Communications Clinic brief.

As far as I know she does a lot of charity races and there would be no real reason why she would have to cheat. Maybe she doesn't want anyone to see her coming across the finish line looking sweaty and red (normal after running 10k).
I did get some satisfaction beating her in a race a few months back...she probably looked a bit better crossing the finish though :P

Her Da rode the babysitter back in the 90s.

You think she'd have moved on by now,.

Well, no, actually. I have no gripe with the monies raised or the causes supported. None whatsoever. Just a gripe with the fact that its not a marathon in ANY sense of the word. if they choose to call it a quarter marathon then I'll fully support that title. The important thing is the title of the event. Exactly.

My name is URL

They'll not take her medal back.. having her in the race raises its profile somewhat and since it's all for charity anyway; it'd probably be a disservice to make a huge deal about it. Still though, very deceitful of her if true.

This is all hearsay.

I have a suspicious story regarding Rosanna Davison’s alleged participation in the mini marathon…. I saw her coming out of a house on Leeson street and joining in the race at around 9km. Of course this in itself is not evidence enough as to her lack of running the previous 9km.
