Champion of Champions Snooker

Is the guy in front of the little boy who coughed the guy who wears Cov shirts at the Crucible and who is off here?

That would be FRB - Front Row Brian I believe, I dont think he is on TSF? With his dad I think but where's the missus? maybe see her at the weekend

For mid-week I think the audience has not been too bad, not that the seating is huge anyway, should be better today and onwards I suspect.

You leave pansy tennis out of it! =p Final frame deciders is what makes the game of snooker get some drama...

But there could be loads of extra drama possible.

if ever there was a match that should have been called a draw this was it because no-one deserved to loose.

Maybe World Snooker could introduce a must win by 2 frames format for finals and semi-finals. Could be some epic matches.

What do people think of that idea?

I've actually thought about that before... It would be interesting to see a match that was supposed to be best-of-19 go 17-15, or something like that. But ultimately it would kill the unique kind of drama and tension that only a decider can produce. :smile:

That was a great match pure snooker - Robertson and Carter both produced a absolutely quality match that had everything -great break building - seven centuries in 11 games - fantastic safety - superb long potting and a nervy decider - Carter might be gutted but both players played great and if ever there was a match that should have been called a draw this was it because no-one deserved to loose.

Just a quick nod to ITV if it hasn't been done already. Not brilliant crowds - or particularly enthusiastic, but I've been quite impressed by the amount of coverage the channel are giving this. The presenter feels a little awkward at times - she's certainly no Hazel - but impressed overall.

that pot that got him out of trouble was just tremendous.

Yes, that was a fantastic pot!

Lovely match, can't beat a midnight finish. :smile:

I couldn't agree more, one of the best matches I've seen in ages!!

[coomsey76]

Well, well, well what a miss from Carter!!

Robertson played some good safety in the decider, and that pot that got him out of trouble was just tremendous. He could have made a winning break from that, but his scoring deserted him at the wrong time. Lucky for Carter to miss a sitter in the end...

Yep, he really should have got that one . . .
