World snooker Championship qualifiers

[PatBlock]

Just a quick reminder about my world championship prediction contest peeps, in case you weren't aware or forgot, it's free to enter and you could take 50 pounds off me if you win. It's open for another week, but if there's a tie, first correct entry wins. If you're interested, it's here:

Angles McManus decided to retire. Probably makes more as TV pundit.

I was only kidding as I do enjoy watching the big golf comps . Lots of my family play and my in laws are obsessed .
It’s funny the connection between golf and snooker and how many people play both . It’s definitely the eye hand coordination thing I believe .

Anyone know why they’ve changed ref at Mid Session Interval in the Donaldson v Dale match?

Anyone know why they’ve changed ref at Mid Session Interval in the Donaldson v Dale match?

He was sniffing and snorting all the way through the first half of the session, it was very annoying, must have a cold, hay fever or something, I presume that's why he was subbed. Can't ever remember seeing a match with 2 ref before. Has to be said, the sub is a huge improvement, all round.

That's a fair enough reason, I wouldn't feel too happy if I were one of those two players witnessing that when trying to win/earn a living.

Zhou turns his match against Xu around. Hope he gets through to the main tournament.

Particularly in the current climate.

If a match over-runs and the referee is scheduled to do another match after, they will be relieved so they can have a break and get ready for the next match.
If a referee feels unwell, I am sure they will swap him out as well.

There have been several matches this week where the scheduled referee has been replaced.

Wowzer Scott Donaldson fell over the line. Unlucky Dom.

And after Dom was leading 5-4 . Tried to watch it on Betfair but they were only streaming one match. Would have loved to see the Spaceman make Sheffield. Hope he keeps going next year and sorry to see Alan McManus retire

Really? I haven't noticed. Mind you, I probably wouldn't have noticed this time if it weren't for the lack of sniffing.

Yes Dom played quite well didn't he, but I think Scott deserved the win overall. Good match.

Bet365 is better IMO, more matches and more stable, for me anyway.
