In relation to the other question, you could tell Dott was tired, but Neil was desperately trying not to make a mistake - and can you blame him really? It was the biggest match of his life and I'd certainly be taking things slowly. And it paid off, thankfully. I'd imagine if he made another final he'd be more relaxed now.

He wasn't playing particularly well either. Most of those frames could have gone either way really.

Although I do like to play pool and have played a bit of snooker myself but I find it oh so boring to watch on TV.

That's a good question. I suppose he'd have to be stripped of it.

Glad to see someone else noticed the constant coughing during the final.

Was it like the time that guy coughed at the right answers during Charles Ingrim's game of "Who wants to be a millionaire?"

You know that ones I'm talking about, right? They hired models to be ball girls at some of the ATP tour venues just to get more people watching. So funny.

Yeah, only without Chris Tarrant. And with balls on a baize instead of questions on a board.

Heck, they were nothing alike.

I don't watch Formula 1 but yeah, I'd say it's along the same lines. Now they need to get her kitted out in that gear!
