BEING SERVED BY MR HUMPHRIES

Congratulations and good luck to Colin Humphries who will referee today's Welsh Open final, his first.

It's a good omen. Colin often ends up officiating at exciting, high quality contests.

His first ever match at the Crucible saw Nigel Bond edge Stephen Hendry 10-9 on a re-spotted black in 2006.

He also donned the white gloves for Ronnie O'Sullivan's 5-2 defeat of Ali Carter in the 2007 Northern Ireland Trophy, in which Ronnie made five centuries including a 147.

It's good to see a new face being given a chance out in the middle.

Yes it is about time. Good luck to him. I thought it would be Michaela, but if she's going to get the World final.......

Why are so many people on this blog - and indeed in the snooker world at large - so obsessed with Michaela Tabb?
