Why

[eggsarascal]

Do marshals/spectators have to clap every time a runner runs past? Surely those running know the people at the side of the road are in support/admiration of them without being clapped at? Go on a jolly to Shropshire to listen to my mate bell ringing, (leave it Bolam) and there’s an half marathon going through the village, I came for the sound of church bells, not bleeding teenage marshals with redraw palms!

Yes, but when I’m trying to listen to the bells peeling bah bah black sheep and some little wench in a hi viz vest is out clapping the church bells it’s time for a vent! You

I can just imagine all of those applauding spectators moaning "why is some prat ringing bells when we want to enjoy this race in peace?"

She should have the decency to clap along in time I reckon.

 

 

 

However guilty as charged... I wasn't in Shropshire but guess what I was doing this morning? Got to encourage them to run faster so I can find whoever has the flask of luke walk tea. (I was in the woods this morning, bottom of a slippery slope watching them style it out as they slid, less clapping but more piss taking really)

Human filth.

 

Worse than the kiddy fiddlers, should be strung up by their privates and left to rot at the village limits as a warning to others.

 

My blood is boiling here!

 

 

[Mike Hill]

Terrible.

 

You should slap them for applauding peoples efforts.

 

Go on,do it.

I'm as angry as I've ever been!!
