The only real chance we have had so far was the road race cycling, didn't happen. Tomorrow we will get a few anyway so you can stop worrying. Soon be above you crims in the medals table and will stay there.Cracking effort by the Krauts to keep England waiting. Every day, every session, every hour, every minute... The pressure grows to be the first home gold medallist.
Hoping it's Andy Murray, last day. Delicious irony.
Yes, judging by what some horse faced woman just said on BBC news.Anyone know if this park will be used for the individual showjumping?
I really want Lamaze to get back to back golds in that.
British Eventing team is stacked tbh. Mary King, William Fox-Pitt, Kristina Cook, Nicola Wilson and even Zara Phillips is a good team.The only real chance we have had so far was the road race cycling, didn't happen.

haha that would be amazingHoping it's Andy Murray, last day. Delicious irony.
Germany were favourites for team gold though so not like silver is a failure.British Eventing team is stacked tbh. Mary King, William Fox-Pitt, Kristina Cook, Nicola Wilson and even Zara Phillips is a good team.
This was your one chance in the horses though. As long as the Canadian keeps the showjumping out of the hands of Europe and the States I'm happy.
Burgey I am with Flem, to be honest as it is always so tight with so many top riders and horses it is always so unpredictable and tight. Probably the one sport at the Olympics that keeps you on the edge of your seat for ages at the climax as so much can and does happen. Most sports at olympics are between 2 or 3 only but any one of about 20-30 could be the winner in the individual and there were about 6 teams in with a great chance in the team but Germany were favourites and did win anyway.Flem, without wanting to offend you, do you have gender identity issues? Equestrian and all.. Come on mate.
Nah. Germany are no where near dominant. if anything we all got lucky with the US and Australia deciding to collectively shunt it and the French were French.Germany were favourites for team gold though so not like silver is a failure.
If we were to list our best gold medal prospects then the team eventing wouldn't have made the top 20.
I would say we have 3 rowing chances, 4 or 5 track cycling and 3 or 4 sailing events that would be clearly ahead of our chances of winning the Equestrian events.
Very original Burgey.Flem, without wanting to offend you, do you have gender identity issues? Equestrian and all.. Come on mate.
Oh ffs. I knew after I typed it that would be the reaction, be it from yoou or someone else. I'd have hoped after I'd known you on here for as long as it's been you might have realised I was hardly being serious. But anyway I apologise if I offended you. If its your hobby horse (pun intended) fine.Very original Burgey.
When the European coaches came to NZ in the 80s looking for work they came with the idea women couldn't train horses and riding was a mans sport. The culture shock was great, if a tad pathetic.
I honestly don't see how Rugby and all its off shoots like League which involve groping men are manly yet galloping an animal over a brick wall is a girls sport.
And Burgey, kids have killed themselves over the bullying, or landed themselves in trouble for hitting bullies or using the 500kg animal as a weapon. You're not original so its not very funny. Just a tip.
Yeah yeah yeah had a big reply to this but cbf. suffice to say I know you weren't being serious, and usually I let it go despite people who are playing your attitude with a serious face being one of the few things that really piss me off, but really, is that the best you can do?Oh ffs.

Ftr mate, don't come the sanctimony though. "Kids have killed themselves" - ffs kids have sadly killed themselves over a **** load of things mate, probably including any number of the things you've probably had a laugh over on this forum or elsewhere. So get off the high horse (another pun intended) in that regard.
