Just about getting used to the lack of commentary on the livestream after a few hours, surely they could've found some hasbeen needed a few quid and let them go? Mainly just to keep us updated on outside tables.

How do poomies antics normally go down in open table settings, surely he's a possible to get moved to the main arena if it wouldn't peeve the other players too much.


Didn't Phil Yates commentate on the Crucible qualifiers?


Possibly. Didn't watch them so couldn't tell you.

lol that would be funny... apparently Ronnie as twisted his ankle so not a certainty to be playing on Thursday :sad: Oh Dear, and I was looking forward to see him maybe have a good run in this tournament... let's hope he quickly recovers from this.

He will play unless he can't recover... like Andy Spark said, might have to hop around the table like Alex Higgins did once... <laugh>

I remember seeing some footage of Higgins hopping round in 1989 and it was quite funny :chuckle: , he won a few matches too. Also Higgins was still limping when he beat Stephen Hendry 9-8 in the final of the Irish Masters!

Of course Ronnie is more of a rhythm and grace player than Higgins and doesn't care about the game as much as Higgins. This might destroy his rhythm and his game in the short term. :irk:
