Not getting ahead of myself, and MJW will have something to say about it (as will Fu or Jones, and Murphy), but we could have another O'Sullivan vs Selby cracker on Sunday :snooker:

Glad it's not just me , I have changed to Eurosport to get away from him. Talking about damp cloths and finger marks and saying that's why they are running out of position, ( by that thinking they would never pot a ball In our club with no heating and an unbrushed table)then two minutes later saying the cloth is that slick and fast, that's why they missed , utter rubbish, they didn't cue right, you can see it, it's obvious.

DT is the worst, least knowledgeable commentator ever. How the BBC axed Everton for him is a joke. Instead of sucking the players' plums, what he should be saying is that was a crap screw back, Jimmy could screw em back on a cloth half as fast in his heyday, Judd Trump can screw em back on the same cloth now. "Ronnie has just missed a sitter by not cueing straight" instead of ''is there a damp patch?''

The only damp patches are in DT's trousers after he climaxed looking at Ronnie and the pool of liquid that sits atop his walnut brain.

I bounced to the RedButton Channel (Sky980)

I had to take a look at this as I wasn't sure what you meant. I didn't even know this was a thing. A Red Button channel that saves you having to actually press the red button.

Handy to know. Thanks

Wow this table is a mess! 7 reds in the balk area...

Well done Jamie...3-1 up at the msi.

2 all then..a fair result I reckon.

Yes fair enough, sense of doom on hold, for now....

If players were so concerned about the condition of the cloth, i.e. finger marks, then players like ROS would not slide into every shot, buggering up the cloth

I have Ron more as a Tony Montana lookalike

[PatBlock]

I wish O'sullivan would stop pulling that Ron Corleone face all the time, it looks absolutely ridiculous. :grumpy:

I have an impending sense of doom....:nightmare:

DT has no clue. The idea that the table is damp is utter rubbish. Any no.10 at 40 degrees will play lovely. It's under hot lights, jeez. Poor excuses because top pros simply can't miss. Sorry pal, Ronnie didn't cue em straight at the back end of frame 2. As for MJW not getting much screw, he didn't get through the ball DT, ya cockwomble.

Thought we had decided on either cheesewomble or cheeseball

Nervous and scrappy so far...but enjoyable nonetheless

Snooker needs to change the seeding system to ensure a more balanced and fair tournament.

Neil Robertson has been awful this season and he is ranked number 7 but because he won the tournament last year he's the number 1 seed.

Selby and Higgins are ranked 1 and 4, respectively and they should not be able to meet in the 1/4.
