He can take Davis with him, doesn't add much at this point and is rubbish in the commentary box.

Davis always suffered from not being able to commit to an opinion, but he’s been so much worse since he retired and basically erased snooker from his life.

Does the referee's give the player a % of their pay to the players for doing some of their job?

Thought he’d be here to casually refer to Liang in slurs.

Yeah. About 5% give or take.

I was thinking about that - will players continue to get their own implements post-pandemic?
Does seem a bit silly getting the ref to do it, given how easy it’s been to do it themselves for the last year.

Neil is playing well even when he misses a shot you only think its a minor blip just no sign of the Wheels coming off at all.

good first four frames from Robertson. When hes close in he's very clinical and doesnt make any easy errors.

Robertson is great to watch when he plays like this. It's when he slows down that he becomes hard to watch.

Indeed. Liang didn't do a lot wrong, but finds himself 3-1 down.

BBC is still better with their features and sometimes studio analysis, but the actual match I usually watch it on ES.

WTF? Eurosport were advertising as having Mags on the main TV table. That's why I had the BBC on. Flicked over to see what was happening.

Yeah their features can be pretty good, as long as they're not constantly talking about the 80's. Think I'd still rather watch Jimmy White messing about on the practice table during the intervals.

Jimmy should never have been given another tour card. Don't like those free ride cards, but if they're handing them out at least give them to a player with a chance of doing something.
