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.

Just finishing watching it on youtube as I was cooking, Gilbert hit blue first on that snooker....

boy how many times Gilbert got close to potting the brown... and that double.... would have been ok on the blue each time.

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.

2 hours and 3 minutes for a frame of snooker!

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.

Yeah. He talks to much sense for the BBC.

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

Not a fan of Foulds? Or not a fan of the BBC?

BBC. I much prefer ES, but unfortunately don't have access to it these days.

So then how did you watch The Gibraltar Open?

They've decided on a re-rack.
