Anybody else see a black rectangle appear on Eurosport then?

Yes I got that as well.

Good first session, hope Robbo doesn't run away with it now, I'd like to see a decider after yesterday's flop.

What time do we resume, is it 11.30 UK time?

No, the first session has finished now.

...4 minutes and we're back with the final session.

[SnookerFan]

Come on Robbo! Finish the job!

[daffie]

Let's go Murph! Get back in it!

This could be all over within 1 hour...hopefully not and stretch the match to its limits and provide us with a final frame decider. One can hope...

Quick Q : are camera's really that offputting when you're on a shot? I have never played the game on competition level, only with mates in a club. Is it a case where you are that much disturbed that you will most likely have a problem making the shot, or could you just try and blank it out, focus and continue with the shot? I've been wondering about his lately....

Btw not talking about flash...that I understand as being enormously offputting.

Notice the distinct lack of coughing and sneezing coming from the audience as compared to a UK crowd.

Yes, I would imaging it can be enormously distracting

Ok...apparently it is. Still don't see it myself, or rather can't visualize it. Maybe should head to the club and ask a mate to take pics while I'm at the table

Someone moving about in your eyeline...that I can imagine perfectly. But a camera clinking...? (I mean...not much else going on there is it?)

Robertson's back in and cueing well.

EDIT: Looks like Neil got distracted by a member of the audience. Nice snooker my Murphy.

Neil misses a snooker...Murphy back in with a small chance to clear up from here.

Murphy with his best chance now and should have cleared up. This is not a good frame to lose!

Poor red by Murphy. Why didn't he just roll behind the brown?
