2014 World Championship Qualifiers

Stevens looks to be striking the ball well, he needed to win that first frame and he's done so, c'mon Fordy.

C'mon Copey!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!

Hoping dale wins!!!!

I wonder who could be potential banana peels for those in the top 16. I don't think Fu would want to draw Gould, Ding probably doesn't want to draw Day or a Chinese player and possibly O'Sullivan wouldn't want Ebdon (although he has had the better of him in recent times).

Also I reckon Judd and most players will want to avoid Mark Williams if he wins currently 5-4 down to Angles McManus

Jamie jones could of gone 6-2 down so lucky! Holt missed a link over the pocket hit it dead weight bounced out.

Nice ton to finish off, Ford now right in the driving seat 6-3

[scottley]

Go on Fordy! 5-3 up, 6-3 would be a nice lead to take to tonight.

Yes, I think it is a remote scoring thingo . . .

Who says men cant multi task

lovely break by McManus, 4-4

Does anyone know what the white remote control looking thingy Eirian Williams is carrying? He keeps looking behind the camera at what i assume is the scoreboard? Surely he isn't scoring the game as well as reffing?

And i am assuming Tom was warned he had to hit it on the 3rd attempt thats why he played to land on the yellow dead weight and potted the black, i'm watching on sport lemon with no sound/commentary.

I'm sure someone will put me straight, i'm of the opinion that the 3 miss rule should not have been applied here because the cueball was not replaced after each miss, so he is playing 3 different shots from 3 seperate positions.

Looks like most people are watching Alan Willo, i would be to if a local lad were'nt playing.


Typical an incident has happened that i'd liked to have heard commentary on, i wonder if someone can clarify, right, Ford goes in off on the yellow, the yellow lands on top of the black which is over the bottom left pocket as you look, Stevens puts him back in, so Ford puts the cueball roughly on the yellow spot and plays to go cushion first to catch the yellow thin and back to baulk, he misses completley, the cueball comes to rest near the baulk cushion, Stevens makes him play from there, is this strike one? I'm thinking not because the ball has not been replaced, Ford then misses the yellow again and again Steven makes him play from where it lands, so now if it is the 3 mss rule he has to hit it, now Ford tries to play a slow roll up and land on the yellow but pots the black, so he must have needed to hit it, surely the 3 miss rule only comes into play when the ball is replaced each time?

I'm pretty sure you are right there and the 3 miss rule would have applied if he hadn't potted the black.....

Where's 'Mr Rule book' aka Dean or Snkref when you need them!!
