    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?

    Yeah, and going through a very tough draw indeed.

    In a country that can't even make up it's mind on the pronunciation of the letter 'H' what do you expect?

    Some people say 'aitch' (they are right) and some say 'haitch' (They are wrong)

    How does Swansea Steve manage to sit in the audience at virtually every single snooker tournament I watch on TV?

    Is he someone's manager or something?

    Or does he just have a lot of spare time and money?

    He certainly lives the good life, doesn't he?

    Best of luck to him. He seems like a nice friendly guy.

    I was really surprised when I saw her (Proletina Velichkova) the first time the day before yesterday. The way she looks I'd be less surprised if she was a successful ballet dancer. However she is definetely a smart women with great skills, very impressing.

    Yes, me too - what happened to her? Did she stop refereeing altogether? I never really kept track ...
    She does a lot of pool stuff around the world, she did the legends tours as well.

    I'd like to think so, as he's always been one of my favourite players, but I'm still a bit sceptical .... There again, if pushed, I really don't know who I'd go for ....

    The three Marks, the "runner-ups" Barry and Ali doin pretty good lately, Kyren will grind his way through, dark horse Luca... I'm looking forward to this.
    Luca? Really? Don't think he has a chance.
