Absolute joke that Docherty and Davis (when he commentates) get these gigs ahead of Mr. Everton.
I like these commentators
Virgo
Taylor
Thorne
Everton
these are passable
Foulds
Parrot
detest
Griffiths
Davis
Docherty
Probably missed a few regulars.:D
Personally I can't stand Parrot commentating. All he does is criticise the player's every shot.
It's not like he is the worlds greatest player himself is he? :rolleyes:
I know this is a bit late to ask, but does anyone have a clip of John Higgins' entrance since his ban ?
Was hardly anything shown. It was the second match on the Saturday so no introductions from Rob Walker, just him and Stephen Lee walking out together. Quite a decent applause

Not happy. Although I do like Shaun Murphy, I was really rooting for Robertson to win tonight. Bet that delay for the scoreboard glitch didn't help his concentration, either.
Shame Mark Joyce has lost, as well. Surprisingly good player, and I'm not really a fan of Mark Williams.
Higgins and Murphy in the final, for me. Murphy to win.
Hope Higgins wins...I can't believe both Selby and Robertson are out :):):) Usually one of them stays right through to the semi final just to get on my nerves.
Has Robertson got no shame? I just saw his post match interview where he basically said Murphy won by luck by missing a lot of balls and getting away with it by leaving them awkward and safe.
Erm....Robertson that's how you won your world championship so you'd be best keeping your mouth shut. Every game you missed pots and fluked it safe where others did the same and left you with reds miraculously rolling over to the pocket!
That genuinely annoyed me but thankfully Murphy (who I also dislike) told him straight.
.....Back when Northern Ireland had top players like Higgins and Dennis Taylor Scotland never had anyone did they? Don't remember Murdo MacLeod making many semi-finals
It's quite likely you had an Englishman, Irishman, Welshman and Scotsman when Ken Doherty was in his pomp, but of course he's from Dublin, not Northern Ireland....

Because he was found not guilty & has served a ban of 6 months for bringing the game into disrepute.

They must have ummed and ahhed for about three seconds before grudgingly welcoming him back with open arms and champagne.
What a scam to get away with. He must have been splitting his sides behind the scenes.
I can't find it - but there is a video of his first frame.

Thank you, both.
The scoreboard's broken down. Oh well
It gave Bunter Murphy a chance to go off and eat a couple more pies!!
Go Robbo.
I thought he looked a little less heavy this afternoon. He obviously had not had his lunch.
Looks like the Pieman will win this now.
Williams 9-7 Joyce.
