right everyone else knock lots down!!

 

[Skhosu]

what have they done to russel..is he just very hot? looks like a completely different horse, I didn't recognise him!

 

[volatis]

think thats us out of the medals

 

[Puppy]

Ok guys, lets start willing those poles to fall now!!

 

[Hovis_and_SidsMum]

POOO!

 

[lucretia]

how did that clear the second

 

[haybales]

you know thats actually making me really angry now, i think its really quite unsporting of the teams who lodged the appeal

 

[Skhosu]

lol, first time I've heard the commentator say oh dear peter dont fall!

 

[Rachel_M]

Remember the talk yesterday, with regards to Russel being so disunited behind? For the ones who follow showjumping, is he usually like that around corners he has to change the rein on? He seems okay going around corners on the same leg but he looks like a horse that can't decide what leg he wants or should be on.

 

[lucretia]

damm it

 

[Forget_Me_Not]

I'm thinking, with ours being experienced with the Hickstead derby things like the ditchs double and water should an advantage

 

[Puppy]

DAMN! Could have done with PE having a few more down!!

 

[DiablosGold]

Haybales I can't help but think so too, only the Germans didn't - respect to them.

 

[lucretia]

i have looked a fter this next one and i dont believe it ever has more than one

 

[librauk]

hmmm, that was a lucky round....that horse JM, does not sound right in his wind ??

 

[CrazyHippo1]

Hope for two good rounds out of Tim and Ben. Even if they cant salvage a team medal, it'll keep them in the standings individually

I know. I mean FFS, we were *disadvantaged* not to have four in the first round!!

 

[PippiPony]

When I watched it yesterday they made a comment that Russel can either be brilliant, or fight all the way. Poor Nick

 

[little_flea]

Oh nooo poor GB. :-(

Decent round from Peter & Headley Britannias husband (Jaguar Mail) though.

 

[missshell]

It stinks

 

[lucretia]

but Mini is mad for it today

Particularly as two teams [namely the Australians and the Germans] weren't even going to get through to this stage, then they were lucky that it was decided that they could. Just seems a real shame to me, seeing as if John had gone in and got himself eliminated then he could have jumped - I bet the other teams would have wanted leniency if they were in this position.

 

[volatis]

the swiss will want to discard this one!

 

[missshell]

Not a good round for the swiss

 

[lucretia]

i rest my case again!!

 

[Forget_Me_Not]

HA HA YES!!

 

[Puppy]

WOW! That's a turn around for Switzerland!!

Great news for us though!

 

[Starbucks]

well switzerland aren't doing great!!

 

[RachelFerd]

oh gosh, this swiss round is not going well
