Badminton thread!

[Dunlin]

Ohhh poor Emily, her boy just said no, absolutely not.

Gahh about to hit reply and Universe pulled up. What a shame he was a joy to watch!

This is pretty disastrous so far!

 

[4x4]

Can anyone help me? We have newly installed Talktalk tv I have got motor racing on the red button and don't know how to change it? Any clues? Meanwhile will go back to fiddling with it!
Choc chip cookies for results! xx

I'm watching too, it really doesn't seem to riding well. It'll be interesting to see how the ground is for the ones going late on.

Hi everyone! I tuned in just in time to see AN retire, does anyone know why? Quimbo looked to be jumping fabulously. It does look rather slippery out there!

 

[debsflo]

Aaaaah red buttons gone off

 

[armchair_rider]

I wouldn't say disaster - Toddy aside they've all had stops rather than falls. The showjumping may end up as rather poor value for money ticket wise though - I foresee a distinct lack of competitors.

Well sat Ludwig

 

[starryeyed]

Ahhhhh the TV has a "temporary fault" !!!

 

[Cheiro1]

Nooo my red button has just decided it has a "temporary fault". Anyone elses?

 

[apachediamond]

Gah lost red button - temporary fault!

Lucky Ludwig over the log

 

[Hunty91]

Aaaargh, temporary fault!

 

[dafthoss]

No red button has gone! Any one else having this?

 

[BlairandAzria]

Well rode from Ludwig!
Now my red button says temporary fault!! Ahhh

 

[Dunlin]

Please no more temp faults!

Course looks horribly slippery, I would hazard a guess that's the cause of so many retirements and refusals, Emily's horse slid the last stride straight into the brush fence at 2/3 and Ludwig has just defied gravity.

 

[apachediamond]

Back on

No idea on fixing it but you may be able to watch on BBC website instead

Me too,Apollo frustrating.gone again

 

[starryeyed]

Annoyingly this isn't working for me but it is supposed to be streaming live on the website - may work for someone else? http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/live/equestrian/27064920

[humblepie]

Its all a bit hit and miss on the coverage even without the faults. The Swedish horse had been stopped as they said he had restarted but no saying where he had been held.

 

[9tails]

I thought Izzy was absolutely great on the first round, Pippa's horse was all legs and didn't seem to have much coordination. There's plenty of thrills and spills so far. But the Temporary Fault is annoying.

 

[apachediamond]

Boooooo BBC!

 

[Dunlin]

Just checked out BBC Sport Live online and that's out too. I'm not a million miles away from Badminton in North Dorset and the weather here is terrible at the moment, heavy rain, dark skies and strong winds. Oh well, I'm gonna stick the kettle on, who wants a virtual cuppa and biscuits?
