By the way: down on the shot, I declare Sam Baird #2 in the most fierce looking maintour snooker players...

Can you guess who's #1? Only active players so no Count Reardons here...

Only one possible...Maguire.

2 mins to knock in a straight red.... this is why Selby winds me up. Clearly just time wasting.

Terrific match this...c'mon Sam give us a FFD :snooker:

When the match on one side of the divide has finished, can those audience members who were using earpieces switch over to the commentary from the other match?

It's jus picks up a basic radio frequency. As soon as the one match finishes you just press search on the radio and it will find what's being transmitted. So, yeh.. They can, they just press search basically. Lol

You can probably tune it to the other match when watching the other live too. If you fancied, like...

Crucial frame for Baird.. C'mom level it

[Cov86]

Wow...Sam Baird really holding on for dear life here...11-10 behind now. Could go all the way

I hope so, I would be delighted to see Selby out. Baird is playing really well too... very impressive considering his relative inexperience.

Lots of close matches this year, surprised this thread is so quiet. Can't decide whether I should be supporting Baird as the underdog or Selby for the sake of the tournament big names.

Is it just me or have the BBC instructed the commentators to use more technical language this year? All of them seem to be using a lot more snooker jargon about the shots they are playing rather than just waxing lyrical about the players' temperaments etc.

Nearly 3 minutes for that basic thin snick safety there from Selby. Me thinks he's playing mind games now the pressure is on.

I am LOVING the ebo virgo combo! #lovingit

:biggrin-new: Brilliant!

[Billy]

Managed 10 minutes with the BBC, the combination of Ebdon and Virgo is like drinking Horlicks and Red bull!

:biggrin-new: Brilliant!

Ebdon.. "Do you want an organic banana smoothie John".

JV.. No, thanks, I'm gonna have a coffee ... Lol

[Cov86]

I want the two underdogs to win tonight. I've never been a huge fan of Higgins but I can't really look at him the same way since the 2010 fiasco. Then there is Slugby on the other table. Not helped by the commentator pairing either.
