If you set your clocks one minute slow, the delay is eliminated 
I have a few option to watch prime. The delay aint to bad on a dongle.

She comes back to tell me she's gone
As if I didn't know that
As if I didn't know my own bed
As if I'd never noticed
The way she brushed her hair from her forehead
And she said, "losing love
Is like a window in your heart
Everybody sees you're blown apart
Everybody sees the wind blow"

I aint that convinced a lifetime of behaviour has been changed in a week. I could be wrong but i think he throws a few tbh. He hasnt got the talent levels of Ronnie or Judd so i dont know what he is potentially thinking that he can walk through players who have had careers similar to himselfThink you're being a bit harsh, TBH.
Hey Wise. What's the craic with the "BDO" darts worlds this year? Did some Googling and saw that the WDF were still hoping to stage it as of a couple of months ago, but I couldn't see any updates since? Is it not happening?
BDO doesn't exist now, but Steve Brown has started a new amateur organisation. maybe they could be putting it on?

This link says the WDF will be doing it? (sorry, it's the Sun)

It just doesn't seem to have progressed from there! Thought you might know more.
I haven't heard anything about the WDF doing it. All I know is that Steve Brown will be setting up MAD darts as a replacement for the BDO (amateur darts) to help prepare players for the professional level
Afternoon gents - cracking start this afternoon.
It's a bit quiet here though!......

I know there's nothing in the rules to say that Ronnie can't carry on in a lost frame but surely there needs to be if he carries on doing it.
What would that rule look when written on a sheet of paper, that's the problem.
I guess there would have to be a maximum number of snookers required. There's nothing wrong with the rule as it stands because the players don't take the p!ss with it but ronnie carrying on when he needs 6+ snookers is detrimental to the game.
Currently needs 12 snookers and is still playing...................

Boils down to player behavior and peer pressure.
Ronnie will likely believe that he has no peers in the game, thus is free to do as he chooses, and this he has routinely done over the years.
Who can ever forget the robot interview.

I'm a fan of his but there is a limit. If he carried on like that as a one-off it would be no problem but he's been doing it all week.
Very few fans of the game would disagree that he has overstepped the mark this week.
5-2 coming up, 6-2 and Ronnie will be straight in to a taxi home 
Looks like another final Ronnie just doesn’t fancy it at all. Trump busting his little cotton socks and his opponent showing any appetite for it. The trouble for Judd being that should Ronnie put in a little effort, this is still far from over...
Ronnie can do that though. Rope a dope. Look unbothered, play bad, then up it out of nowhere. Very unlikely to get away with it against the world's best though.
And there he goes, a 137 clearance to bring it back to 5-3.
Very crucial frame that and out of nowhere he ups it! Great clearance!
I think it's great that he is challenging the sports leading governance,which he clearly is,and in such a snidey way, pure genius.
They still need you Ronnie, rest assured.

Judd played a poor safety that last frame giving Ronnie an easy opening red and letting him back in it..he was out with the washing,not at the races,toast
he still ain't the sharpest tool in the box,Judd..had he gone 6-2 up as he should've,the Rocket would've struggled to get to 4 frames
still can't see Judd not winning and he may still trot up but can't afford those mental errors

Given Ronnie's approach to conceding this week, I just thought I'd check what is contained within the rule book.
SECTION 4
2. Conceding
(a) A player may offer a concession, but this becomes null and void if their opponent chooses to play on.
(b) A player shall not concede a frame in any game, or match unless any player requires penalty points. Any breach of this Rule shall be regarded as Unsporting Conduct by the player concerned. If the referee has already Warned the player under Rule 1(a) above, the next frame shall be awarded to their opponent.
(c) When aggregate scores determine the winner of a game or match and a frame is conceded, the opponent shall receive the equivalent of the value of any balls remaining on the table, where Reds shall count as eight points each and any colour incorrectly off the table shall be counted as if spotted.
So nothing in the rules that specifically addresses when a player is expected to concede a frame, it would require the referee to deem carrying on when requiring a truck load of snookers as unsporting conduct and that would open up a huge can of worms.
The rules, understandably, are more concerned about preventing concessions than encouraging them.
So, we just need Jimmy White to have a word and tell him, "hoy Ronnie, stop being a prat, there's a good lad".

he's not breaking any rules. Ronald knows what he's doing
Although it appears that he no longer knows what to do with a razor 
Super start for Trump, going to be 6-3 in a minute or two.
Class from Judd. This is getting embarrassing from Ronnie to keep on playing on from impossible situations. Once or twice to get your eye in sure, but every time shocking.
Ronnie used to conceded frames all the time when only needing one snooker. He can be such a ****
Probably a bit uncomfortable for the referee as well.
Perhaps Ronnie has got a new deal with a sponsor where he gets paid by the minute.

Whatever advantage Ronnie thinks he is getting by doing this - he's not.........

Think he is just being Ronnie, so always unpredictable. Probably enjoying being different.
so he hasn't told his mate to back the overs in every frame?
Would be hilarious if that was the reason. Not a bad idea actually that wisey.
Ronnie is taking up valuable TV time and he knows it.He has an agenda because 'they' have an agenda, so he is playing the 'game' quite smartly imo.
He won't have liked a number of 'incidents' this past 9 months and more.
Off course agreeing or otherwise is a different debate.

Are you saying Ronnie will release the 'Krakken' one day 
7-5 then, and all becomes very interesting if Ronnie grabs the first frame after the interval.
All three of his frames tonight have been won in a single visit, class. 8-5, one away.
Remarkable stuff, one visit wins from both players now.

Evening Chaps.
One of the comms earlier in the week told a story about a league player who would NEVER concede. The frame would continue until the last ball was potted.
Both Ronnie and Cabby are guilty of bringing the game into disrepute, IMHO, and if the rules need changing, then so be it.

It was Neal Foulds who told the story, didn’t pay attention to the name of the player concerned though
Thinking about it, it could be that Ronnie has been showing solidarity for The Don, another man making a fool of himself by failing to concede
is this carrying on after losing a frame thing all about Ronnie not being frozen out?
if he finishes each frame potting some balls, he's never frozen out and thus never loses his flow?
That was the rationalization he provided last night, explaining that he was potting balls rather than attempting to extend the frame.
However, that was not the case on the majority of the occasions during the week where he routinely played on, attempting to set snookers whilst requiring multiple successes.
