During a marathon, a runner in full view of the other runners & spectators gets in a car and drives the course only stopping near the end. The last 100m they run to the finish line to lots of applause & congratulations on how great they were for finishing first. Imagine the fume.
Blame linesman/ref (who were a disgrace mind) all you want, but we brought it on ourselves. One of the worst 2ND half performances of the season for me!
