He's been in that exact same spot before. It's the same old faces every year.
You won't believe this, but those people are sitting in 'season ticket' seats. As long as they buy those seats for every session of all 17 days, I think they have the option to buy them again the following year. Some of the faces are famous and the players see the same faces at eye level every year. It's bizarre. Check out the guy in the Coventry City shirt, he always were's one every year. Some of these folk have been attending for many decades. They've seen it all, literally. Obviously, they really don't want the tourney moving to China!

Careless from Cope. No matter how good the balls are, you wait until you get far enough in front.
5-5 now, when it looked like 6-4. He'll feel sore now. The frames you lose that you should have won, tells you how far you go in this tournament. Give anymore away like that and Murphy will be the winner here.

Surely commentators shouldn't commentate while there still in the tournament? Bias and all that.

There's an old guy in a suit sitting in the front row. He was already sleeping through most of the afternoon session and now it looks like he's sleeping again!

He comes over from Australia each year. Probably still jet lagged

It's like 2009 all over again with these buckets...
That long pot from Murphy was never in

I don't agree with those season tickets at all, it deprives the chance of other people to stay in that particular seat reserved for only those who have that season ticket, like that guy with the Coventry shirt and the old man always sitting next to him.
I know they are always there every year but I don't agree with those season tickets or whatever at all.

Cope won't win this match I'm certain of it, makes too many basic errors and even Murphy not playing his best he will win it.
Had Cope won that previous frame I would have given him a chance, not now.

Hi, been busy these last 48 hours. How has the snooker gone? Ronnie great or solid in beating down Hull? Kendo great or Bingo crap? Burnett deserving of his lead? Carter v Xiao good match?
PS no access to streaming from here unfortunately

Ronnie was solid not brilliant, not bad - average ronnie.
Bingo was awful this morning, didn't turn up.
Burnett played okay in the latter stages this morning but was assisted by awfully Perry performance.
Carter v Xiao the stand out match of today and yesterday by far. Cater won it by a whisker but easily could've gone to Xiao if he'd played better in the first session.

I hope this goes close and becomes a twitch-fest between Cope and Murphy

He'll possibly be facing one of them some point down the line, he'll have a preferred winner based on that.
Griffiths commentating on his own players is worse though.

If I'm at my PC I might as well avoid Thorne and co if I can.
