Fucking clown show. Even the person in charge of the replays, scores and graphics is having a mare. 
 

I think the Canadian is the late, great Cliff Thorburn. On the red button coverage Virgo said “we’ll let you have a look at the stats while the players are out of the arena.” Next thing you hear is Cliff whispering to Virgo “go get some,” and then the sound of a bottle opening and someone going “aaahhhh”

Camera angles are shite these days, watching now on BBC2 and the table looks almost square.

I was just thinking the same. Too high up. Just needs to come down a yard or two. 

 

Higgins looking good to go through here.

One of the reasons I can never watch it on ITV or Eurosport, that and all the ad breaks. The Beeb was always alright, I shall be writing to points of view.

Adverts aside, the coverage on ITV & Eurosport is ace. Alan McManaus is far and away the best pundit.

Mark Allen has beaten himself here. 

He usually does. He's in that mould of players like Bingham (I know he won a worlds) and Hawkins who get themselves into winning positions then bottle it with silly misses. Ding is badly suffering from that the last few years as well. I can't stand Allen but I'd love him to win here.

Can’t they get a bottle of fly spray in there?

 

Why’s it swarming with flies in there in January anyway? Has someone left a burger down the back of a seat?

Hahaha I just noticed that fucker bottom right. It's Allens smell. No chance he washes daily.

Let’s see if he bottles this now…

 

Should be looking at a decider.
