2016 UK Championship

[Cue crafty]

Yeah, wouldn't be surprised.

There are I guess "sport Billy's " who are happy to pay a sub to sky/Eurosport to watch "everything" sport cos they love it! Money well spent, good for them, happy days. For me however and I assume many others on TSF I don't want it all, I just want to watch what I wanna watch when I wanna watch it! Pay per view should be easier to access in a HD format.

they re doing that so u change to eurosport player and pay to watch. very sad .

Yeah, wouldn't be surprised.

I don't understand why eurosport aren't showing the Ding match on the main channel. It's on the eurosport player, so why are they showing old matches instead of feeding the Ding match? Anyway, Figueiredo 5 - 4 up now...

Kyren Wilson 3_0 down, mc Gill 3_0 down. Both need to win their respective fourth frames.

[Big Splash!]

Ordl, if I wore a hat it would be off; that's better than any other preview around - by a country mile. Thank you!!!

Enjoyed the Figgy Pudding / Ding match - shocker of a safety by Igor in the final frame at 61 - nil up to let Ding in to dish up. Ace break though.

Gonna watch Trump / Thai-phoon next - let's see how Trump's looking after his break.

Be serious man, it's not even close to being as good a previews as Wildey's! LOL

[Sc77]

Early days, but could be a few shocks tonight. Wilson is 2_0 down, as is mc Gill, and trump 2_1 down. Still fancy all three to win though.

Let's have a look at the other results so far.

Marco Fu beats Josh Boileau 6-2. So he fixes at least 5000 ranking points (and pounds), making this already his second most succesful event this season...

Barry Hawkins didn't suffer afterpains from his unlucky defeat in the final of the Northern Ireland Open. He beat David John 6-0.

Ryan Day (6-2 over Jimmy White) and Kurt Maflin (6-0 over Allan Taylor) set up a nice second round duel.

[JimMalone]

Yeah, he just about managed to squeeze his way past Figueiredo there, but once again, far from his best.

I don't know why but I have a feeling that he will have a few poor weeks now and will come back strong in the spring. Would be great if he would be again able to peak at the Crucible this time.

Ding fights back to get the decider at least. I had him going out early here, but I wasn't thinking about a first round defeat.

Ding wins 6-5.

[Sc77]

Ding left it very late. Thought my accum was done for.
