Doms changed his hair colour again. He looks he's dipped his head in a tin of black paint. Ha ha

He's shoes are something special too.

He looks like 'Robbie' from CITV Lazy Town (you might get it if you have kids)

That's so funny, l can see what you mean, hadn't seen it before you said.

I thought Eurosport would have snapped him up and paired him with Neal Foulds [ another great commentator ] .

Thought the BBC would have used Foulds as well .

yep I thought Eurosport would have got CE ages ago.
Neil Foulds has been on BBC but for those skits between sessions with the others for quizzes. but I don't know if he did commetary or studio pundit ?

Yep, they'd make a good paring in my opinion too.

Guys did anyone hear willie Thorne mention that the free ball rule had changed recently? He said this as the ref backtracked on his free ball call in the match Davis vs Dale? I need clarification as I heard something like this a month ago and couldn't get any answers

interesting, from what I understand the Free Ball rule has not changed for many years. But what usually happens is a rule is slightly amended and years later people say "oh that's new"
like the Foul and a Miss rule is considered new but appeared in the 90s IIRC

Yes I did hear that and am equally bemused?? As far as I was aware it was still "see both sides of any ball on..", rather than "Full ball". If it's changed, then it's new to me??

Can anyone clarify please??

Full ball for Miss consideration

I presume that's Full Ball for the 3 misses and lose the frame scenario??

Mark D must get this frame to have any real thoughts of come back in session 2.

Anyone know what cue Dom is using these days? It looks stunning.

see a post earlier
we think it is a Maximus

Thanks...

Well done Dominic.. Good session that, scored well. Mark Davis had a lot of bad running though.

Off to Crucible all day tomorrow.. should be a top day

[Raldon]

ah could be as the square plate did look less busy than a Eureka. the tv-shot was acute

there was a closer look to the cue during Dale using the rest. The splicing did not look like an Eureka to me.
..and at the end he was waving with the extension...full Amboyna obviously.
So Stupree is probably right
