UK Championship 25/11 - 7/12

O'Sullivan is carrying an injury and it's possible he could be forced to withdraw from the tournament at some point. Badly twisted ankle I've read.

posted the otherday it is heavily swollen but i still think he will be ok. probably turned it over whilst running.

I bruised my ankle when I was 17, coming home from college. It wasn't pleasant. I couldn't put any weight on it for a a couple of days. The day after it happened, I literally needed somebody to help me off the coach that I'd been lying on all day, and walk me to the toilet. I couldn't walk from one room to the next without assistance.

Saying that, I took two days off college and then was back in again. I should've stayed off longer, but after two days of laying around all day, I got so bored I wanted to leave the house. I was still hobbling, but I made it through the day.

I don't know why I tell you this, other than to point out that though he'll probably be in extreme discomfort for a few days he should be able to manage. Though, I was 17 and Ronnie is 39, so I don't know if that'll make any difference. It may be offset by the fact that I am a slightly heavier weight than Ronnie, lol.

I'm watching it on Betfair, put £1 on Ronnie just to watch it thinking I'll get my money back no problem, not looking that way so far lol

[crawfty1985]

Not got a chance of seeing it myself, following on Live Scores. Does his injury seem to be hampering him in any way? Stuck a decent wager on him to win 6-2 and could be doing with the return lol!

worldsnooker live stream very poor quality stop start with small delays....I'm gonna try paddy power stream although that's only a small screen....seems silly all this hype for the tournament but no way to watch i t properly, Mr Hearn take note....you want these pros in the qualifiers, well we want to watch them!

[Rocket147]

Ronnie 2-2 at the break. Wells playing well it seems. Swail 2 down to Lines. I'll be shocked if Swail loses that one.
