Modern day version of a modern day player, eh.. Lol

Is it just me or is watching Selby like watching paint dry....... the modern day version of Peter Ebdon.

It's just you mate.

Marco will be the happier of the 2 after the 2nd session , looked at one point like McGill was going to run away with it .

Hear Hear...all the best to DT with his recovery and hoping he'll be back very soon.

I'm hoping they can fit his hospital bed in the commentary box

Hendry's a bit dour and can't seem to empathise with people - not everyone can play snooker like you could Stephen!

I was watching Hendry on one of the Crucible Classic shows earlier. A second round match against Jimmy White in 1988. Hendry looked about 12, but hell he was fast, and I'm talking Milkins / Drago fast. There was no pause on his final back stroke, and virtually no thinking time between shots. I suppose when he matured and honed his technique, he slowed down an awful lot, which is probably why his name never crops up when we're talking about quick players, but he was silly fast when he first arrived on the scene.

I don't mind JV and DT - but I'm a traditionalist and don't like change! Happy to have them on for a week or two, 3 times a year. If it was every week then I'd probably dislike them I guess.

Davis is king for me though. Hendry's a bit dour and can't seem to empathise with people - not everyone can play snooker like you could Stephen!

Really enjoyed the Perry vs Wilson match and thought it was the right result. Both had some luck, but I think Perry's came at the more opportune moments. I agree about Wilson's conduct over the final two frames, but by then Perry had been banging his cue on the floor several times at missed shots, which I won't think is very 'gentleman' like either. If DT is Dennis Taylor and he has appendicitis I wish him well in terms of recovery but sincerely hope it stops him commentating forever. How some of these guys can take the money is staggering considering how lazy and terrible they are at the job.

What is MJW's problem with the ref? He seems very annoyed...throwing away the black towel a couple of times. All rather over the top imo. And he just had some words with the ref as well. Weird as normally Mark is so laid back.

Well he was playing terribly wasn't he, but I'm sure he's a LOT happier now, getting out of that session 4 - 4 is a real result for him. Holt will be kicking himself. Going to be very interesting watching how that one works out.

So how long is the recovery for appendicitis? It won't be the same without DT in the commentary box. Hope he can make it back for the last few days.

Jeeez JV is so horrible to hear........can't stand him. Nice bloke but his voice and expressions, dear me...

Mark Williams is one of my favourite players.... clearly not the player he once was (so inconsistent match to match) but how well did he do to get out of that session 4-4. Holt will be kicking himself he should be at least 5-3 if not 6-2.

JVs great! *feels temptation to write list of commentators in order of preference*

wow, never seen those words together before!

...but I wish they'd had JV on commentator!
