when robbo starts taking ages i know 9 times out of 10 he will lose that match as his rythym has gone
A decisive robbo is a winning robbo

Even Robbo in this game is taking things to excess. I know he's struggling a bit, but anyone who plays snooker knows that 90% of the time there's only one shot to play. If you want to take a bit longer over the 10% that's fine. Robbo is more than taking his time over every shot. Never heard of rhythm?

Maybe he wet himself before he got to the toilets, and was too embarrassed to come back to the arena?
