Yep, very arrogant and pompous imo, probably takes longer to do his hair than that match lasted lol.

Maybe refs should get their own walk-on music

Pomp and Circumstance, anyone?

It's no surprise RO criticised this ref. Why does he re-spot the colours so damn slowly? He places it down above the spot, pauses for about three-minutes, and then rolls it onto its spot like he's in super-slo-mo.

He is very theatrical isn't he ?

That was a llllloooooooonnnnnnngggggg match

It involved Barry Hawkins. Don't know what it is but he seems to cop for these late-night slogs more so than any other player!

Hard luck Stu, no shame in that performance. Happy Birthday Baz.

Poor Stuart not even getting a ripple of applause for laying a snooker. The whole crowd are thinking, "Come on, Stuart. Shake his damn hand - I've got a bus to catch!"

Maguire was using an Ash cue I think. When did he switch back to Maple again?

Carrington sinks a great long red.
Joe Johnson: That shows his fighting qualities
Carrington missing a black off its spot to lose the match

So this means its possible to go from having fighting qualities to choking in the space of 31 seconds? I'm confused.

Carrington has definitely grown into this session, and (a rare thing) I feel for him....

And the way he tells the crowd to shut up while he's replacing balls, why??
Comes across as a bit of an egotist to me.

It's nice of the commentators to constantly remind us that at the crucible we're watching "match-play snooker", i thought i was watching the annual African Elephant piggyback race.

Ballsy red from Hawkins

hmmm comparing to golf: maybe Bazza should try Snooker Strokeplay?
