Does anyone else feel like they stopped Lucinda commentating quite quickly?

 

[Nocturnal]

Anyone managed to get the badminton TV app on an android phone?
Laptop has just packed in

You can watch it on a browser on your phone

Lucinda is brilliant, I don’t get why she’s so hated on here.

Did I miss something? What's with the Lucinda hate?

It’s bizarre isn’t it. And rather horrid!

If memory serves me right, when she did the Euros last year, her commentary was all over the place and people got a bit annoyed

 

[DiNozzo]

Good girl Katherine!

It won't let me, keeps telling me to download the app. Unless I'm being daft?

I'm sure Caroline Powell lost a shoe while turning at the Le Mieux mound.

ETA: looks like she's schooling round anyway.

 

[Patterdale]

It’s always very ageist with Lucinda too. Not pleasant.

But I digress!

 

[teapot]

Don't rate that make of martingale...

 

[Scoti1420]

What time does XC end today?

 

[Double_choc_lab]

How many more broken martingales? Probably due to clipping onto big girth guards rather than leather loops around the girth.

 

[OrangeAndLemon]

What time does XC end today?

If they were running to time, around 4pm with last horse at around 3.48pm.

They are about 20mins behind schedule at the moment

Thank you!

Are all these martingales supposed to be so breakaway?

Strangely the US horse now also has a flapping / broken martingale, so that's two on the course. They might be the ones that clip onto girth attachment, and it's the clip that breaks?

That’s a bit crap, given there is no android app!

Oh thats weird, I could watch it but I'm on iOS

I think the clips are breaking when the stud girths scrape over the fences. Must create a nasty pressure point if it is that.

Yeah, very.

 

[Northern Hare]

How wonderful that Nicola is commentating this year, after her fall last year. She's an incredible and very determined lady, I'm in awe of her.

Huh. Will keep trying

 

[rosiesowner]

Aaron’s horse is very smart

I'm on Android as well and can watch it ok via the Badminton TV web page accessed using Chrome - ie. not via an App.

 

[sjb10]

Can't add any helpful tips unfortunately . Currently watching on laptop but just tried again on phone and it started OK.

 

[greenbean10]

I think you can only watch live from now until it's finished, then you get the whole thing to watch back.

Thankyou! I will wait until it's finished then

 

[teapot]

Two more withdrawals - Tim Price on his second ride and Micheal Winter

Yes I was watching via Chrome too

 

[OrangeAndLemon]

2 more withdrawals (Tim Price & Michael Winter) 19 completions but I think 14 or 15 NF (either retired or eliminated)

 

[Ample Prosecco]

I love Harry Meade . Great comment about taking watch off and riding to get horse safely home

 

[Tiddlypom]

Nicola's pointed compliment to Harry Meade about putting his horse first... No doubt where that was aimed at.

Oli has completely trashed his reputation amongst his peers now.
