    Some people stoop low in Ireland, like that scumbag in Kerry Michael Healy Rae who rigged a Reality TV Show so he'd win it! FFS

    Yes there is a massive difference between 10km and 26.2 miles but to say it's stupid when you see people patting themselves on the back......is uncalled for imo. I decided to do it for a charity close to my heart and I started training everyday for months (believe me I was never a runner) and I did it on Monday and I ran the whole 10km in 1h25. Now I'm not claiming Ive done a marathon but I am damn proud of myself and it was a big personal achievement as it was for many other women. I find your post to be ridiculous and offensive.

    I am assuming you are a women, apolgies if I am mistaken, in which case I find it even more ridiculous. Did you take part?

    I didn't take part in that race - however I did do a couple of 5km runs and a 10km run before, I trained hard for months for the 10km run and was dead proud of myself for having completed it! And anyone who completed the mini-marathon should also be proud of themselves, and particularly if they raised money for charity in doing so.

    I haven't the slightest problem with people posting on Facebook saying how proud they are of having taken part in the mini-marathon.

    I do however think it's silly when you see Facebook posts such as "Completed my 1st marathon today in just under two hours - deeee-lighted wiv myself" (direct quote), and several others which I saw along those lines. A marathon is used in athletics to describe a 26.2 mile event. It does look stupid when you see those sort of posts.

    Rosie's still digging that hole for herself:

    http://www.independent.ie/lifestyle/independent-woman/celebrity-news-gossip/im-no-cheat-i-did-run-the-full-10k-but-not-that-quickly-says-rosanna-3133783.html

    Says she got the number mid race so that's why the time is off. Still maintains that the photos were taken after the race despite the fact that you can see the finish line.

    "No, no, dig up stupid!"

    Rosanna on the 7th:
    “Carmel was ahead of me so it clocked her start time and she ran back and gave me the number so it clocked my finish time, giving me a time of 43 minutes,” she explains.
    Rosanna today:
    "At the last minute, I decided to go ahead with the race. I had to get the number after the race began, so the final time and name listed were inaccurate."
    Carmel Murray's recollection:
    “She asked me if I had a spare race number, which isn’t unusual when some of our participants can’t make it,” she said.

    “I had none so I gave her mine, because I’m not a competitive jogger.”

    Any explanation for how Carmel was informed that she needed to come back and find Rosanna? Or how she managed to find her in a crowd of 40,000? Or why Carmel seems to think she gave it to her before the start?

    Easy, Rosanna was the one with the perfect make up

    Rosanna's story is making less and less sense as she goes on!

    Do they not realise they should have said Carmel started after her and then cut across to 8/9 km to give Rosanna the number. That would at least make a bit more sense.

    Still makes no sense.

    If this Carmel one started first, ran a bit but had to track back to give Ms Z-Celeb her number then that would still take time and I don't see how it would cause the chip to clock in at a fast time as it's done part of the course twice.

    I would like the race organisers to offer their view and explain why she's not disqualified.

    That's the thing, even if she said she just turned up at the finish line for some photos, even that would be better.

    What I don't understand is if she didn't start with a number, what was the point in getting one at all?

    Seems she has the Sunday Independent on her side too. Article in todays paper Living section by Will Hanafin "Rosiegate scandal is a non runner" (Sorry, can't find a link) saying that "her explanation for the discrepancies seem reasonable but it hasn't stopped the conspiracy theories spiraling out of control" and how "the fanciful theories surrounding Rosannagate make Barack Obama's birth cert saga look positively tame by comparison". The tone of the article seems to be off course Rosanna is telling the truth, anyone who says different has an overactive imagination.

    Not really too surprised about that, Rosanna had been appearing in the Sindo for years now. It was inevitable they would support her.

    The Sindo kisses the ass of every z-list celebrity in the country, plus isn't she employed by that company anyway. I flicked through it at a hotel and an equally condescending story was on page 3 I think by another author, so that's at least two clueless hacks based on this story alone writing for that yoke.

    The Sunday Times were less taken by her excuses.

    It came up again on Liveline today. The CEO of the ISPCA is now playing dumb, saying that they are just taking her at her word and he "hopes" she did run the race, but they have no idea how the time of 43 minutes showed up when Rosanna is saying she did not complete it in that time (having claimed an hour, 50 mins and 49 mins in different instances).

    Looks like it's not going to go away, no matter how much the (S)Indo/Herald tries to refer to those raising the issue as "deadbeats".

    Heard liveline today and the CEO of the ISPCA was clear when he said it does matter if she did not run the race. I don't think he is very happy with her at the moment.
    I did not catch the start of the programme. It's looking more likely she did not run the race.

    I don't think she wants to be known for saying she ran a mini marathon for charity only to get someone else to run it for her.
    If she did not run the damn thing she should say so. She looks like a proper idiot now.
