I know some people criticise the amount of replays on the BBC coverage, but sometimes it is useful to see a shot again, or from a different angle (I'd have liked to have seen a different angle of Stevens going for that tight pot, where he hit the pink). The onscreen graphics are pretty poor as well, they look like something from the late 80's (and their irritating habit of flashing every time the score changes is surely unneccessary too).<BR/><BR/>Sorry, just had to vent for a bit there :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29605452.post-61118028922704892192008-11-15T16:35:00.000+00:002008-11-15T16:35:00.000+00:00Intermission came timely for Robertson who is look...Intermission came timely for Robertson who is looking nervous<BR/>at 4-3Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29605452.post-43714995676443691182008-11-15T13:00:00.000+00:002008-11-15T13:00:00.000+00:00I still see lots of empty blue seats :(I still see lots of empty blue seats :(Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29605452.post-57001837991164376102008-11-15T11:59:00.000+00:002008-11-15T11:59:00.000+00:00There is a much better chance of a good crowd toda...There is a much better chance of a good crowd today as Saturday is the weekend day in Bahrain.<BR/>Friday is the religious day and it's rare to see people out and about before the evening.<BR/><BR/>I think it's going to be a cracking good final. Both players back to form and with renewed confidence, so although I've no doubt it will get twitchy as they approach the winning line, I think we could see some good open flowing snooker for most of the match.<BR/><BR/>and I'm not biased at all Cymru Am Byth - Come on Matthew!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
