Medal for Ireland ! Great story for Cian O’Connor
At least 1 silver and 3 bronze I may have to go saucing
Horsey set 1 - 0 Croppy, TASE, Bandage, WADA
Let’s be prudent here and wait for the horse to successfully come through doping control before opening the champagne.

A fucking disgrace.
Skelts has graced the Royal Dublin Society for so many years, every year without fail, that I almost consider him an Irishman now. Gutted for a great supporter of Dublin and its famous Horse Show.
Paidi O’Se I’m sure will once again be thrilled for Cian O’Connor and his horse. Can’t say I am.
This is a different horse chief.
Superb from Cian, he was a reserve this morning and came within .02 of a second to have a run off for the gold.
On his knees just a few short years ago, a real rags to riches story.
The cunt.
Wow. I’ll buy my copy of The Belfast Telegraph with extra pride now knowing what a victory this is for INM.
Dutch guy clear in 49.79 - pressure on

Pippa Funnell, multi Olympic medallist and BBC equestrian pundit: “I’m absolutely shattered, gutted. The whole nation will be gutted for Nick. We all knew how hungry he was. That horse has jumped clear all the way through and just touched it on the way down. Whether nerves took over I don’t know. He really didn’t deserve it. He will live with that forever, coming so close.”
Fuck!! Last fence down. Beat the time
Knocks the last fucking one down, superb effort from Cian
A real gutsy performance from Cian. Possibly could have steadied himself a bit better into the last but was always under that bit more pressure going 2nd. Well done Cian. Well done Ireland.
Who was the fit blonde one cheering him on?
What colour medal has Cian won?
A sort of brownish hash coloured medal

Did he come first, second or third?
