"So in that situation would you rather stop on the ground or land with all blown tyres? You can hardly go into a holding pattern and blow them all up again :-)"

Come on Pace......get your brain in gear.

The tyres would have blown in an attempt to get the aircraft stopped after V1.....READ what I am posting FULLY <

Farrel my post to you was humorous :-) Why though would you blow all the tyres applying the brakes at 135kts?

I have never suggested that in 999 out of 1000 problems that you do not continue the takeoff after V1 nor have I stated that you try and stop with 100 metres of runway remaining or any other length of inadequate runway Left. I have suggested that in certain rare conditions you have to go out of the envelope of your training and restrictions to save the day as in the Stanstead to Leeds fire where the Captain aborted with such a severe fire that the wing was in flames too.

His actions in ignoring V1 saved all the passenegers on board.
