Bahrain Championship - Final Discussion

[steedee]

starting to regret backing robbo to win 9-7

It has alredy been mentioned couple of times, but yes. Good old Europe would be a much better choice. I cannot image that had this been hosted in Germany the attendance would be worse. I simply cannot.

An understatement, maybe? After the WSS-Final last summer in Berlin Higgins attested the crowd to be the best he has ever seen.

How long has this frame been going on for - a potential new record against Marco Fu and Selby's 70-odd minutes frame?

The record went in the China Open with a 93 minute frame between Murphy and Harold.

Its 11pm local time there with a potential 4 frames left could mean a long night.

Not sure about the frame as a whole but they've been on the colours for 25 minutes. Massive frame this.

does robbo need snookers?>

[MalJackson]

Ive watched most of this match

matthew cant get ahead, robbo is showing rock solid temprament here

im also suprised that robbo has displayed a much better safety game too

[JiangYu]

Haha - Love the Dennis Taylor Pose

Yeah I've watched it all, that could prove to be a pivotal frame as Robertson hasn't been behind yet. It'll be interesting to see how much a frame such as that takes out of each player.

I concur that Robbo has displayed excellent temperment (apart from a rash red a few frames ago).

Poised fascinatingly now.

[Matt_2745]

Be impressed if Robertson recovers the way this match and that frame have gone.

[miscuehamburg]

What a frame. Matthew leading for the first time...c'moon. The fluke on green was decisive. The crowd -of course- applauded to it

[Matt_2745]

Snooker crowds applauding flukes is one of my pet hates when at the venues, if you see some killjoy sat tutting then it's probably me

WSA Live Score does not seem to work and Eurosport prodcast is over

Would be delighted to see that Robbo just missed an easy pot. I think he is breaking in to pieces now.

Well maybe I misunderstood - my hearing is far from perfect - but I'm under the impression Rolf Kalb said that was NOT a fluke ... So the crowd certainly is excusable.
