Great 1st session so far, Maflin has played very well imo.


Got a tenner on Murphy & same on a Murphy/Trump final.

Missed that , watching it with the sound off at work .

some young lads in the audience with "the Jester Academy" (?) t-shirts on that also had a large GBL logo on the other side

Stop complaining, hardly seen it yet

i think it only seems to appear when a high break is on or a player is getting close to snookers req stage

Good solid start by the defending champ.

[Neil Taperell]

You reckon??? Even though he is in front . Looked a bit shaky to me .

Missed the yellow of it's spot and cued across a couple . Maflin has not taken his chances , if he had the score would be a lot closer .

[daffie]

Yeah I agree, Maflin has a chance with Selby not firing on all c's atm. Could be a good, tense final session later on tonight...

[Raldon]

Maflin need stronger matchplay imo.
Fu is struggling a lot, also some really bad safeties from him.

I know what you mean, but Maflin already needed snookers when Selby missed that yellow. It looked to me more like a careless miss than Selby being shaky. He then hammered that respotted black in, sign that pressure wasn't really affecting him that much. He potted pretty well at distance during the whole session too. Stats looks pretty good so far.

Anyone know why Milkins is 500 on Betfair, he's beaten Higgins the last 4 time they've met.

[RaveDave]

JV on the frame after the respotted black that Maflin was winning "Just shows you if Maflin potted that respotted black he would be all square in this match".

I hate it when people say dumb **** like this. The whole next frame would have played out totally differently.

I dislike the setup where players have to sit
right beside each other. Having your own
space seems much better.
