2016 UK Championship

[PatBlock]

Has Mei been coached by Nigel Bond, seems to address the table in exactly the same way. Bond was the player I supported growing up, it was his few seasons as a contender for the world championship that got me on his side. Still a pro isn't he?

Yep he's still with us as far as I know, ranked No. 69 atm according to snooker.org.

That's unreal 52 down with 35 on

Terrific comeback from Fu in that frame!

Switching over to the Fu vs Mei match now as Higgins seems to be cruising to victory over Woollaston.

And that would be django reinhardt's left I presume.

That I had to look up. Didn't know that little (no pun intended) fact about Django. But yes I agree with you on that...probably just a 2 or 3 digit count

[PatBlock]

Par for the course really with Judd. The times he has been gracious or magnanimous in defeat can be counted on one hand.

Meanwhile John is up 3-2 vs Ben.

[PatBlock]

Just finished watching Judd's comments on the BBC after getting beat 6 - 2 by Oliver Lines, very disappointing.
"It kind of gets to the point when the balls run like that where you can feel sort of invincible...." & "Even when he missed he didn't leave much...."
A 6 - 2 defeat, 20% down on his opponent's safety game and blames luck. Come on Judd, at least have the good grace to aknowledget when you've been fairly and soundly beaten.

Gilbert beating Carter was quite surprising

[PatBlock]

Oh well, the family semifinal's off then, Peter Lines beaten 6 - 2 by Liam Highfield, disappointing to see Anthony McGill out as well. Doesn't look like I missed much this afternoon, televised matches-wise anyway.

I'd like to watch Delu v Brecel tonight but it's not being televised so think I'll concentrate on Higgins v Wollaston initially and see how things develop.
Wonder if they'd let Ben's wife ref on one of the other tables in the arena while he's playing?

Was busy in Seattle over the weekend so I missed quite a bit as the streaming was blocked. Has Binghams head stopped shaking yet?
