Murph is doing well here

Indeed he is, although he has broken down now...too bad.

[daffie]

Indeed! Btw that suit would match Murphy's walk-on music of today perfectly...(great tune btw!)

[DeanH]

Selby suit, ok this suit is not the best looking but much better than that silver/grey suit he has worn in the past

[daffie]

Btw Mike Halet on Eurosport, so I'm staying with the Beeb for now Nice combo anyway with Ken and John in the box (so long JV doesn't get too excited)

Why doesn't the reigning champ kick this tournament off then?

[daffie]

That was a lovely break from Selby to take the first frame. He's also made an effort to dress a little differently. It's not great, but still better than the boring black and white combination. :smile:

Yes he looks very dapper indeed. Btw always such a great combo of lighthearted players to watch these two isn't it. Always with smiles on their faces, a bit of banter, and awesome matchplay to boot :snooker:

Man I'm loving this!!!

[bingo]

In my short time of watching snooker (4months), I have seen a long tie worn instead of a bow tie in the form of mark selby lol

[scottley]

They showed that missed final black from Ken again in the preview...wow that gets to me every time

Gotta feel for him, even now.

Good question. Imo a combination of :

- good knowledge of the rules (duh) and interpretation of those in specific situations where it's called for (very important imo)
- good solid commanding presence, but at the same time blends in like he's not there at all, and a good rapport with players and audience
- tall (jk)

Well put daffie

The look on poor Kens face.

[daffie]

they also showed the female stripper - that always gets me

Yeah...and still does ()

Hmm...I really should stop writing and start watching!

[Alba_]

Yes he does. On the other hand I do like Ken D.

same/jv is a twat.

What makes a good referee out of curiosity?
