Pretty sure they went back last year

Yup! They reverted to the ‘original’ quite some time ago.

I noticed that yesterday and thought it had been a while since I had heard it. It's synonymous to snooker as Soul Limbo is to cricket or the Ski Sunday theme.

Yes exactly mate and thanks for reminding me of those too, not sure what the golf one was but as soon as I hear those tracks it’s instant memories. 👍

The BBC do get some things right, going back to the original Drag Racer track by Doug Wood is certainly music to my ears! Grew up on it and it evokes great memories. 🎶 🎸

Coffee 10 am tomorrow for conclusion of Higgo match. Could go all the way.

How do players blank out sniggers from the crowd, that are clearly a result of something that’s been said in the commentary box? Plays a terrible shot, then there’s a brief pause before a laugh ripples through the crowd. The poor player must be wondering what’s been said.

JV having it both ways, he says the blacks in an ideal spot to lay snookers then calls Higgins snooker ' genius '.

Oh well, again Xiao son you asked for this.

Frame 12 Higgins v Xiao, once this happens, you just know we're in for a fun finish.

It's amazing isn't it, that one shot so nearly cost John the frame, but instead, gives Xiao the chance he needs, as well as a possible lifeline for John, which in the end played a big part in him winning it.
Only snooker can do this.

Xiao hedging his bets a bit too much there, on the snooker and twice on the black, you've gotta break eggs sometimes Mr Cueman.

[PatBlock]

On normal pockets that would have worked.

Yes, very probably.

I like this idea from Mark Williams, cheeky, nearly pulled it off as well.

With Selby out O'Sullivan must be fancying his chances. If he gets an eighth it'll be one of the greatest sporting achievements full stop I grant you that. However it will slightly coloured by how easy his route to the final is going to play - it's not until the final it looks like he'll face serious opposition - just have a look at his potential opponents. Nothing to scare him there until the final.
