Legend
The word you were looking for is I have friends eulogising on FB and producing the same old photos of them in their twenties in a photo with CM like he was their best mate, it irks a little but they obviously feel great affection for him, no point mentioning this, s like I said, wont make any difference apart from them getting all aggressive for daring to say anything, no good will come of it, he fked up, people know he did, no need to keep bringing it back up.

TBH whose fault is that? Sad but true.
Yes it was a terrible shame, and I suspect Colin would deeply regret his actions if he were here. But we've dwelled on the past for too long. It's time to let it go and just remember him for the sporting hero he was to so many. Everyone makes mistakes, few pay as dearly as he did. I don't think his fate and mistake take away from his status as a legend in his professional life. I knew the father of Graeme Duncan (the other adult in the helicopter) very well. He was my parasitology lecturer and class president in university, and also a close friend of my in-laws, so I know the devastation the accident caused to them. But he was still a legend. Just one that, much like his professional life, took too many risks when he really shouldn't have.

Say he was a 19 year old boxer with a Ferrari FF, who went out without a licence or insurance and drove recklessly, killing himself, his passenger and his son, and his own son.
What would we say then??

We'd say he was a fking tit, but this isn't some young scumbag we're talking about, it's Colin McRae, the local lad done good. He's a legend and a hero, with occasionally errant judgement.Say he was a 19 year old boxer with a Ferrari FF, who went out without a licence or insurance and drove recklessly, killing himself, his passenger and his son, and his own son.

Hero and Legend are much overused words, he was a famous sportsman who had a degree of success and was very popular, he could drive a car very quickly through forests and avoid the scenery at least 75 percent of the time and by all accounts was a nice bloke.
People do over eulogise, think the adulation is way deeper than the bloke in question, its cars, rallying and all that, he is a focal point, the embodiment of the whole, and being no longer with us seems to help in that "legend", same with Ayrton Senna.
