Grand Prix 2009 - 1st round discussions!

[Mal]

Come on Shaun! All 4 players from my snookermanager.com dream team have gone through (Doherty, Allen, Cope & Ebdon) just hoping Murphy does too to gain more points.

Well, I've got Doherty, Allen, Robertson, Hendry and Ebdon, so I can't complain!

Another seed drops out - Five of the twelve have gone. In a standard draw there would be one half probably quite open, but the the random draw could make things interesting round by round.

Well battled Pinches but poor poor stuff from Murphy to miss that yellow in fr7 and allow Pinches back in. It really was a bit of a nightmare as a defeat to a player ranked 50-something is nothing short of disastrous.

Great job done by Barry. Nice to see him in some form again & the match was very enjoyable

Another seed bites the dust..

[Mal]

Am I going to speak to soon by saying Well done Barry! Just brown and blue...

I hope Mark improves for his next match as he couldn't have played much worse than what he did tonight.

just in time for a final frame decider and it doesn't seem to be kicking me out every two minutes like the justin links.

Thanks again.

The way this match has gone i wouldn't be surprised if Mcculloch takes it to a decider. Hopefully not though.

I would agree with you there, especially on the last part

[cebs]

cheers for the link.

McCulloch sure is taking his time on his shots. Up and down a couple of times... Might be a bit off-putting to a player like Allen. Manage to take the 7th frame, fortunately though.

lol: "he's got previous with that pocket!"

Mark's been left in amongst them if he doesn't win this frame from here I'm going to bed!

Oh My God! I can't believe it!

EDIT: This is just AWFUL! What's he doing?!

EDIT2: Ok, you've redeemed yourself somewhat Mark Phew!
