Mike Tucker Gaffs

Hahahaha ! classic MT moment... calling the Mexican a woman the whole way around, even when the round finished and the camera was on his face. It wasnt until the score caption came up that he spotted his gaff.

A mistake made, apparantly, because of the weather situation. Yeah. Gotcha. hahahaha !

To be fair, Andy Austin was equally to blame in that situation though.

Absolute muppets - the rider was clearly quite a large male!
 
If it makes you feel better, Lucinda seems to be if not on par with then very close behind MT during the showjumping. I haven't watched the eventing yet, so I'm guessing she was better then.

Personal favourite is her saying "And now we have Meredith Michaels Beerbaum. Rides for Germany. You can see how she's such a small woman." She spoke for the whole round about Meredith's riding history, her marriage, pointing out Meredith's particular style.




Except it was Henrik von Eckermann. Big man. Riding in Swedish colours. And she only realised when Meredith's round started.

At least she corrected that mistake - I've lost count of where she's spoken very authoritatively and been completely wrong, including about the WEG (winning) combinations!

I noticed he kept saying double clear when they had had faults in the xc, surely DC is clear across both xc & sj?!! Then in the 2nd sj round he kept saying riders had gotten 2 double clears!!!

I missed WFP's round XC. After the clear in the SJ, MT said "ooh nice DC for WFP and Lionheart". Argh!
 
I enjoy Mike, I think he's really jolly & human.

Thought him and Ian were funny in the Eventing and loved Judy clearly having him terrified in a corner during the dressage.

the only commentator I simply cannot stand and have to turn off is Peter Churchill.
 
Must admit it really wound me up yesterday that neither MT nor Andy Austin seem to have any clue what the rules actually are for the SJ.

MT kept making comments about riders having poles down and how that will help Nick Skelton out in the individual final - well no it won't as the top 35 riders all start again with a clean slate tomorrow. I know the rules are complicated, but as the commentator he really ought to know the basics - which isn't a silly mistake, it's just ignorant! :rolleyes:
 
He keeps forgetting we can still hear him through his co presenters microphone.....
I heard him asking what's the name of that Dutch Princess over here - or words to that effect.
Prize plonker!!!
 
I thought it was great when he said he wasn't going to apologise but he was taking his headset off so he could sing the National Anthem
