Savage from Foulds.
brutal
For me Foulds and, to a lesser extent, Walker were the stars of the show tonight. Especially during the marathon frame at the end there. I thought they were great.

It was kinda fascinating end of Judgment Day. I couldn't stop watching even though Fergal averaged what...a minute per shot? Record, drama, controversy, it had it all. Triggering of twittards was also nice.
And shut up, Murphy.

Some people who were alive when the frame started, weren't when it finished. Probably (statistically).
And on that note...

Some people who were born during that frame, were collecting their pension by the time it finished.

The commentary made that frame much more enjoyable then it normally would have been. Foulds in particular talking about trying to stay impartial while having several digs at O'Brien.

The BBC need to get Foulds back on their channels.....but they won't.

As far as I'm concerned, ITV and Eurosport can keep him.

They've decided on a re-rack.
