rocky - PLEASE do not tell us what is going on in real time world

We are watching on BBC so far behind.

I just feel he's (MT) too old school to do anything to attract new audiences. For instance Ian Stark during the eventing was telling us why fences were hard and what riders were having to do.

When the general popluace think we just sit there and the horse does all the work I don't think comments such as "interestingly enough this girl (she's usually well into her twenties/thirties" used to run a pig farm while holding down a second job as a lap dancer" (or whatever - you understand he didn't ACTUALLY say that!!!)

Lol I like that but i think thats why they always pair him with someone who's acctually useful!

It has to be said, BBC has been just rubbish with their coverage of the equestrian events.

I think they have been brilliant! They have never, ever shown so much coverage - long live interactive I say!

 

[PeanutButterDragon]

Great round there for the US!

I think volume of coverage has been great (although i do have sky so extra interactive channels) just technicalities like sound leveling and schedules need to be fiddled

 

[CrazyHippo1]

To be fair, in other sports the finals for medals have been taking place so they have taken main stage. At least BBC are showing the SJ, and they will show all of it even if it isn't quite live...

 

[GinaB]

Very nice round from the US

 

[jesterfaerie]

ARGH don't give away what is happening live please!!!!! Spoilt it was really looking forwards to see what they would do!

I loved the USA mare, what a cracking mare!

 

[only_me]

but i didnt?

 

[CrazyHippo1]

Another grey for Weezy

 

[Weezy]

Ohhhhhhhh I do rate this horse, just my type, again!

 

[GinaB]

The SJ is just full of horses for you Weezy

 

[peanut]

don't like her hat

 

[jesterfaerie]

She really recovered well out of that triple.

 

[peanut]

Has she got something stuck on the front of it?

 

[GinaB]

Oh goodness, I hope she's ok!

 

[PeanutButterDragon]

Oh dear

Poor girl

 

[CrazyHippo1]

Everyone is wearing those hats. They are GPA's with the countrys flag painted on..

 

[Weezy]

She really didn't need to jag his mouth like that

 

[only_me]

opps!!

 

[Skhosu]

oopss...

 

[littlemisslauren]

oh dearrrrrrrr

 

[jesterfaerie]

Owch hope that gate didn't hurt her leg or anything.

 

[Ezme]

shame good on her for just getting back on and riding out

 

[Weezy]

You can buy those GPAs ATM, special for the Olympics, pick whichever country flag you want

 

[Toyboyroxhissox]

oh dear!!

 

[GinaB]

Did she jab at him? I looked down to post, looked up and she was in the middle of the jump, then looked down to type again and missed her doing that
