2017 Welsh Open

Absolute pearler from Darren Morgan during the Trump match. Jud rattles a pink in the jaws of the middle bag, "Jud's unlucky there. He's made the pot but the pink hasn't gone in."

Keep taking the pills, Darren.

What the hell happened to Fu? He only scored 70 points in the entire match.

I didn't see the match, but Fu must have been poor when Muir only got two breaks over 50?

I thought the BBC's decision to stay with the snooker yesterday had something to do with the fact that a Welshman was playing, and I was obviously right. Once again they're showing that ****ing 80s music loop on both the Red Button and the Red Button Channel!! It's been on the last two nights on a 12 hour loop!!!! How in the name of God does it take presendence over live snooker???

I'm with you on that, soooo annoying I'm trying not to swear!!!

It must have something to do with money is my guess.

Couple of things I wondered about watching snooker today

1 can Lee Page please buy me a lottery ticket and 2. who else had a beard at 15?

hahaha, don't worry my friend. I'm working on a time machine. I'll ring you up as soon as it's finished to get back in time

btw, you're already a decent player . Just enjoy the game .

Ramon, give up on the time machine, if it was gonna work you would have already rung him by now!

What is it with O'Sullivan - wins the first three frames in under 40 minutes and looks pretty much unbeatable and then seems to lose interest and starts watching the match next door and then loses the next four frames to go out!

When Davis won frame four I just had a feeling that was going to happen and it did!!

No! Never give up on the TSF time machine! It could save us all! Just don't use a Delorian, they are crap!

Right better go, that's the phone ringing.....lol.

The next time you get that feeling, you'll know what to do ........................

Imagine the odds you would get on predicting that !!!

This tournament is also interesting, cause we are now closing in on the World Championship and it's one of the last chances to gain important points to move into the Top 16 of the World Rankings and get seeded for the Crucible. And the fight now is very close. There are 14 players who should be pretty safe.

But if I calculated right there are nine players who fight for the last two places:
15. Day 194.587 (who did not qualify for the China Open, so he has no chance to gain points there)
16. Perry 192.800 (out of Welsh Open already - against McGill)
17. Gould 192.475 (out of Welsh Open already)
18. McGill 187.625
19. Gilbert 183.750 (out of Welsh Open already - against Day)
20. Walden 182.675 (out of Welsh Open)
21. King 176.950
22. Holt 172.475 (out of Welsh Open)
23. Mark Williams 165.475 (out of Welsh Open)

The rankings already include the 4000 points gained for reaching the main draw of the China Open.
So with a deep run here Day, McGill and King could gain precious points.

So everyone of them lost, changing nothing about that calculation.

Well done and another win for Barry. I've been watching him like a hawk

solid play by Igor Figueiredo to beat Dominic Dale 4-1.

Great for him. First time he gets that far in a ranking event I think.

Yes (the only other last 16 was a PTC in 2010)
I also think it is the farthest for any Brazilian in a pro event ever?
