For God's sake, that useless paper have printed pic of Dutch team on front page instead of Briitish dressage winners. First time they've won and they can't even manage to get the right team. AAAARRGGGHHH!!!!! I don't know how to post pic of it. Maybe just as well. Make you as mad as me.
 
They're useless, Eurosport online reported yesterday that it was the eventing team won gold on Monday !! errr !!! right medal wrong discipline. BUT .... at least equestrian sport is getting noticed at long last and may bring in some overdue sponsorship and keep these talented horses in the country.
 
Words fail me :mad::mad:
Thought you may like this little video / song Its titled I read it in the Daly Mail so it must be true :) Very amusing !

Just emailed the express. They have it right on the online edition but not in the paper edition. Emailed BBC breakfast as they obviously did not pick up on it either when they were just discussing front pages.

You would think first medal ever in a sport would warrant a bit of precision from journalists, especially as it's gold AAARRGGHH
 
Daily Mirror have done it even worse - not just once but twice including big double page spread...

BUT...

Great news is that it's all over twitter and being discussed all over the place by people who don't usually talk about the sport, and they're pretty much universal in their support of GB and criticism of the papers... it's all good to have people talking about the sport in support!! A blessing in disguise!

Has the Daily Mail done a review of their act yet?!? I haven't heard of them before. They're good.
 
ah, i bet thats because the press were all screaming for them to come back for more photo's, but our dressage team and the germans had already walked off to get their horses, so they all started taking pictures of the dutch on their own! Idiots, they were clearly standing on the BRONZE podium position aswell :rolleyes:

as if the BRIGHT ORANGE wasn't obvious enough :D

Glad people are talking about it though :p
 
It was an agency picture and the agency captioned it wrongly, but you would think the orange livery would be a bit of a giveaway.
