Badminton commentary thread

[Weezy]

WEll done Bruce and Smog He is very local to me

Gosh they are pinging riders out of the start now, I think there are 4 riders on course at the moment, or am i being blonde??

HaHa - noooo - it's not live... the TV looks like they're shoving them through quicker than they are. That's why when you listen to the commentary you can hear something different going on to what we can see.

Glenbuck looks like he could go all day

I hope so, would love for Zara to do well in the run up to WEG, would be super exciting

 

[PeanutButterDragon]

So far so good for Zara, hairy through the lake but she rode him well

He looks like he could jump the moon today

 

[SonnysHumanSlave]

He looks like he could jump the moon today

agree with that

 

[criso]

I think the TV is shown on a slight delay anyway so they can choose not to show a fall that looks too nasty.

 

[brighteyes]

Class through there, Zara

 

[PeanutButterDragon]

Niiice tackling of the corners there!! Almost as good as Emily earlier on!

 

[Weezy]

Oh nooooo, bugger for Zara at the Colt POnd

 

[Vizslak]

i think he looks a tad tired now

 

[brighteyes]

And then GAH!

yes, that's why they didn't show Louisa - does anyone know what happened?

 

[JenTaz]

the tv is on a delay as if im right im sure the first person on the course was at 10.45 and the coverage on tv only started at 11 if im right :S not totally sure though just going by what is says on the badminton website

 

[SonnysHumanSlave]

what?!?! horse just stopped.... is that a 20?

 

[PeanutButterDragon]

Ah no Seems to have come unstuck a little now

 

[Vizslak]

pull him up!

 

[criso]

wasn't sure I missed it as I went to the loo at that point.
If they don't show it on the reply that's generally a bad sign.

 

[Weezy]

Should Zara retire? Hard one...he seems to have gone completely *off*

 

[Vizslak]

Should Zara retire? Hard one...he seems to have gone completely *off*

im willing her to retire

 

[brighteyes]

I think Zara's horse isn't on the wavelength he ought to be. I was wondering about the running order, too.

 

[PeanutButterDragon]

Is it or does Glenbuck have days with wings and then days where he literally switches off and argues with Zara?

 

[noggin667]

Can't wait for Little Tiger

 

[brighteyes]

When you look at the expression on this one's face compared to Glenbuck

 

[SonnysHumanSlave]

he seems ok now.

 

[noggin667]

I was literally just thinking the same thing. I'm sure I've seen him do this before.

 

[brighteyes]

Can't wait for Little Tiger

Me either, but I am nervous for her...

 

[Weezy]

Well he seems to be OK now at the finish - glad they got round, I was a bit worried if I am honest!

 

[Vizslak]

what an odd horse! he's not too bad at all now!!

 

[PeanutButterDragon]

Can't wait for Little Tiger

Little Tiger!! ALWAYS a treat to watch!

Well I'm glad Zara is home, that round started brilliantly and then became hard to watch!

 

[noggin667]

Ditto Ir eally hope she has a good round.
