Cross Country on TV today!

[Jeni the dragon]

The cross country is being shown on the BBC Red button today. 9.45 until around 2.30.
Getting all my jobs done slightly early so I can watch a couple of hours before work!

Thanks TP, fingers not working properly this morning!

 

[Micky]

Err what cross country...🙈

Well the Red Button did not make easy to track it down but I’m in!

Is this going to be our general thread for chatter and comments?

I’m settled in on the sofa for the day. Coffee and croissants for now, picnic and Prosecco for later!

 

[Jeni the dragon]

I'm working at 12 so recording it all for when I get home!
Course looking really tough going by the first couple of riders!

 

[fetlock]

I'd need a lie down after that course too.

 

[Jeni the dragon]

Absolutely! Did give me a moment of panic wondering who had fallen off!

 

[Lexi_]

Assuming it’s FEI or German tv providing this coverage but I’m finding it quite confusing! They keep cutting away from people about to jump fences and we could do with more (and correct) names on screen given that everyone is in white colours.

 

[DiNozzo]

Who is commentator on the red button?

 

[lannerch]

Harry Meade is one

 

[TheOldTrout]

Damn I hope I can record red button...

Should be on iplayer if you can't.

 

[lannerch]

What’s all this mascot on your shoulder , none of them are wilberry ?

 

[Jeni the dragon]

I'm probably the only one but I find Harry Meade very hard going. Think I'll be muting it soon.

 

[fetlock]

Ouch

 

[DiNozzo]

Ah I like him, I just couldn't remember his name!

 

[Lexi_]

They look like Wilberry to me!

Jenni, I’m finding Harry less annoying than I usually do. He hasn’t yacked on about anyone being from a good hunting family once!

 

[Lexi_]

Blimey, Colani Sunrise was throwing some shapes there!

 

[lannerch]

The ears are too long looks like a dog

 

[Jeni the dragon]

I thought they were Wilberries?
Time is looking too get-able. Be interesting to see how things progress.

Yup, definitely had some strong opinions about being made to wait to start.

You may well be right looking more like wilberry now hope so lovely to see

 

[lannerch]

Kai ruder not the perfect start athletic horse though

 

[DiNozzo]

Yes Piggy!!!

 

[shortstuff99]

The time (and even the course a bit really) is far too easy and it looks to be a bit of a dressage competition at the moment. Disappoints me when this happens.

 

[DiNozzo]

I've got Equiratings on FB live, HHO, and the red button and don't know where to put myself 😂

 

[Jeni the dragon]

I've had to leave it while I get ready for work!
Hoping everyone gets home safe!
