I complained to the BBC about the Olympic coverage and got loads of stick from people on HHO.....still haven't heard back from the beeb yet tough.

Well yes but you had no grounds for complaint re the Olympic coverage, it was superb!

THIS on the other hand is a total cock up!!!!

 

[carys220]

I think Tucker and Tina have gone on strike!!!!

 

[only_me]

I just tried to ring to complain - and was told that i was in an "extended queue"

looks like other people are complaining as well

wtf is the guy in the middle of the lane doing?

 

[Emma123]

I'm giving up and walking rond the corner to the co-op to get some food

wonder if it will be on when I get back..

 

[kerilli]

no commentary any more, maybe Tina's strangled Mike Tucker. let's hope!

 

[Thistle]

dreadful coverage

 

[archiesmum]

ooooooooooo I saw someone jump in the distance... infront of the crowd and threw the trees!

 

[carys220]

HAHA!!!! Tent is Shaking!!!!

 

[Holidays_are_coming]

WTF is going on now!!!!

 

[hotellie]

what rubbish coverage....you can just hear the commentator talking about horses round the course while we watch a tent.

 

[Daffodil]

This is a shambles, and hardly worth setting aside the day for. Zara should have completed by now but have we seen her.... NO!!

 

[carys220]

Well OT is still going.....

 

[PeanutButterDragon]

Deja Vu again!

 

[Flame_]

The Olympic coverage was superb compared to this. I think we've only seen one horse finish so far, haven't we, and it was supposed to start at half ten? Something gone seriously t*ts up.

 

[Emma123]

And just as I stand up it comes back on- typical

 

[exracergirl]

Back! A bit behind time though as results are up on the website for the next few horses.....

Oh no, got the tent again before I could press continue!!

Rubbish!!!!!

 

[PeanutButterDragon]

AAAAAAANNNNND we're back to the tent people

 

[only_me]

can you hear MT laughing?

 

[clairencappelli]

This is the PITS they have gotten so far behind now i doubt they will show it all.

I have to get my horse in this eve!!!!!!!!

oh as i type OT HAD POPPED UP

OPS SPOKE TOO SOON HE WENT 20 SECONDS LATER THE TENT IS BACK! ops sorry caps lock.

 

[piebaldsparkle]

FFS next they will stop cover even the minimal equestrian events they due, sighting lack of spectators..................Of course there are no spectators with [****] coverage like this......................Wonder how many people would watch the Grand Prix if they showed each lap 3 times (in between pics of the [****] crowd). Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Great 3 sec of FC then back to the [****] tent.

 

[_April_]

Flint knocks that flag down.... again!

And we're back at the tent!

The worst thing is hearing the commentary - we know there is action happening!

 

[librauk]

just looked at the results, i wont spoil ppl's fun, but after 12 horses have gone 8 a re round, 3 retired 1, eliminated !!

 

[Chumsmum]

I've just complained to BBC by email - not good enough

Wish I had just braved the mud and gone today

I would go for a ride to cheer me up but peeing down again

 

[nic85]

what a lovely tent it is too...Ive got one in blue.

Now, where the flip are all the horses???!!!

 

[kerilli]

btw, you do all realise that Miller from on here is in charge of the feed getting through... what shall we do to her on Monday?!!
at least some pics are better than nothing... can't wait for the in-tent-shagathon to start.
btw, at least 4 have finished since we saw anything..
