It seems like they don't even pay attention cos they know the other ref watching the screen will bail them out anyway.
It's an interesting point. Maybe it's something they don't bother trying anymore, especially the less experienced ones.

Ever since after mid session yesterday Judd has been crap.
The way he is playing Rory could well do this.

You get the impression that Judd will never learn. Nobody is so good, all they have to do is just turn up.

Can we have the Day - Guodong match back on RB please? It was better than the Trump match.
EDIT: actually just noticed it's on Eurosport. Even better.

I think Judd took it for granted at 4-0 and switched off. When you do that it's very difficult to get out of that slump so I can see this being a grind to the end. 10-8 or 10-9 either way I'd imagine.

Yeah, I put Eurosport on. Figured the BBC would just be a Judd wankathon.

London Marathon on Sunday. Does that mean all TV coverage will be screwed?

Why don't have the same technology as they do in China where it overlays the original ball position on the screen? Why do they rely on guessing if the ref / players remembered? It's beyond me. buck me you could do it with an iphone app.

They do don't they? I'm pretty sure there's a monitor at the back.

Blimey, I used to think Ronnie's easy misses were bad, Judd is shocking right now.

Not sure I'll have time between this and Robbo to go for a pint.

This Judd match illustrates why he's only won the one triple crown event thus far, in spite of great ability.

If this was a Ronnie match rather than a Judd match then Ronnie would seize on his opponents nervourness and weaknesses and it would inspire him to up his game, but Judd doesn't quite have the same instinct yet to smell blood.

Had to turn over just to see.
Hendry sounds like he's close to tears wishing Judd to win a frame in one visit.

Yeah, unlike Selby, Ronnie, Higgins et al Judd just lacks that instinct, it's denied him so much success in the past.

Lolz I just turned it on too for the same reason. Seriously JV sounds like he's about to hang himself from the commentary box roof
7-6 Rory
Finish him!
