2019 Welsh Open

[fkhan]

Yeah, and going through a very tough draw indeed.

[Hal]

Have not seen much of him before, only caught last two frames, but those two frames O'Connor took it well. A little bit too mechanical in my eyes, but he seems to be potting well in the moment. Maybe a surprise winner on Sunday?

I don't like what they've done with The Traders Tavern.

[QuickDraw]

That's one long cue O'Connor uses, anybody know the specs?

Lost the booths for tables, opened it up a bit, music still loud though

I think it's more the short body he uses that makes the cue look long...

Nah, just commentators and you know how much they get wrong

Yeah, we've just had a studio segment with Goldstein, O'Sullivan and White, and they couldn't even coordinate about which mispronunciation of "Xintong" they were going to use. Goldstein and O'Sullivan went with "Zintong", whereas White preferred "Yintong". :wink:

The rain in Spain stays mainly on the plain.

The Water in Majorca ain't what it oughta.

If you think the big region BBC coverage of the snooker is lacking, spare a thought for the Welsh. It's just as though BBC Wales can't be arsed. They're showing the same Rugby match on both BBC2 W and BBC RD. No snooker until 9pm.

[Billy]

Can anybody tell me the name of this new referee?

Certainly easier on the eye than Paul Collier's miserable trap!

Top players definitely tapering

Robbo might try to win only because he hasn't won much recently

Shootout will be fun as it's a totally different vibe

[crocodile]

Still a few top players in the race with Selby, Higgins (who plays Lisowski next), Robertson, Ding.
But I wouldn't rule out a surprise finalist with this format.

Beginning to look like it now ....

[fkhan]

Maflin is leading 2-0. I hope Neil catches up.

[neuronic]

Kurt unleashed...

[fkhan]

Is this a tournament of upsets?
