Hi, there doesn't.

You think four minutes 42 seconds is fine for a shot? The refs want to be sure they'll be backed up if they warn the player and if there are actual times given as general guidance by WPBSA then they'll be more confident to give a warning.

You should have listened Dale's commentary on Ding's match against Gould. I've never heard a commetator rooting so openly for a player.

I never realised how much muttering he does to himself when seated. Mutter, mutter, mutter. :chuckle:

I once got the hump with Taylor and accused him of bias on Twitter. He denied it.

Yeah, I don't remember him being like this before. I wonder if he's becoming a grump in his old age. :chin:

Absolutely disgusting! Whatever happened to professionalism and pride in your work. OK I understand that watching Slowby is painful, but these are supposed to be professional commentators. :irk:
