noticed the "player in turn" indicator is now a little arrow, instead of the plain small bar

[daffie]

Indeed it is

Has the beeb given Thorne & Virgo a rest at this year's UK Championship?

No, they've both been sacked unfortunately, I did like John Virgo's commentary.

Virgo wasn't released, he's still doing the worlds they just wanted to try something different at the uk.

is it the World he is doing, I thought it was the Masters, as I think I saw him saying on facetwit that he was going to be signing his new book out front

Thanks Narl. If anyone else is missing John Virgo's commentary....

Where's that cueball going!?

the naughty-step for you Jonny, for repeating that awful catchphrase!
if you are being paid a lot of money to commentate on snooker as a previous professional player, you should blooming well know where the cue ball is going all the time!

[Hello, Mr Big Shot]

That Brown Ronnie just played was possibly the best shot I've ever seen.

[DeanH]

So SD needs to change a fiver? (mic left on) brilliant

Shame for Michael Georgiou, one moment of showing his capabilities but missed the next chance.

[jonny66]

I did enjoy that little comical interchange about the pound, but it would have been all the better if it included an enquiry about the final destination of the cue ball.

In which frame this was?

Murphy with a "parris cues" logo on his waistcoat, first time I've seen that.
