It's extremely frustrating.

I'd like to see Dale there. When he is playing well it can be very entertaining to watch.

Yeah the time difference is a pain, I've had this abroad and as someone else pointed out earlier, Eurosport coverage at weekends is very hit-and-miss.
Nice steal from Dale there. Hope he wraps this up today - got to go out of town to re-cover a pool table tomorrow, so don't want to miss any!

My WS sources tell me that ITV were very pleased with the audience figures from the Champion of Champions, and they're keen to have more snooker on.. Credit where credit's due, Well done to Barry and his team!!

There is no play on Thursday until the afternoon, this is a pre-caution in case there are problems, but it's always been ready for play to start on time Thurs pm in years gone by.Last edited by snookerpoolman; 27 April 2014, 04:16 PM.

Robertson was un-beatable the other night and there was Ronnie on the table next door.. Made no difference whatsoever to either match... I was there sat in the centre, hence saw it all...
