So how is "Cahill" pronounced? The announcers and referee are saying kay-hill just like the retired tennis player Darren Cahill, but I read that the normal UK pronunciation is kah-hill. How does James say it?

I would have said the normal pronunciation was Kay-hill - I have a feeling it's Irish though, so it probably ought to be kah-hill, but then they haven't mastered Ken Doherty's surname yet so it's a bit of a stretch for any others.

Given that snooker is a sport you'd think the governing body would have some sort of medical support, especially at the showcase event!

Meh, really depends on your definition, seen plenty of people say its a game, personally i'd agree with it being more of a game than a sport. Cliff Wilson also was of the opinion it was more of a game really.

Wonder whether they've even managed to master his first name ....

Interesting interview with Shaun Murphy. He praises Robertson and then talk about being bullied at school.

They used to take a percentage of the players' winnings into a health care programme and it seemed to fall apart when Chris Small had to retire due to ill health and either got a very small payment ie nothing. Not heard of anything since.

Looks like Robertson is betting favourite. is that a recent thing or purely down to being 2 sessions ahead of the trump/ding progress wise? I fancied Robertson going in to the tournament, his odds must've shortened loads

Before the tournament O´Sullivan was favourite with Robertson as no. 2. Reflects the season well be my opinion.

Are players allowed to postpone their match due to health issues like MJW's?

[fkhan]

Hope he plays well tomorrow leaving this behind.

Fair play to Shaun Murphy.
Comes across as a very decent person in the interview.
Good luck for the future Shaun.

Got a load of work done early doors so I could settle in for the conclusion of the Selby Wilson second round game. Looks like it's going to be a real scrap to the finish

Snooker is still in the 19th century qc2...
Even dentistry can't pull it into the 21st!
