What a shot from Mark Davis, gets an almost impossible snooker on the pink, but flukes the pink at the same time. 1-1. :smile:

Crazy clearance from Williams! Best of the season so far.

[streamer45]

Terrific break by Mark Williams, top class!

[Odrl]

Well, that clearance was just ridiculous. He never even stopped to think about things, he just kept potting them and knocking reds off cushions. :smile:

Wow, what a break .... that was perhaps best break I have ever seen ....

Did Cope play well in his 5-1 victory over Selby? Or is it a flattering scoreline?

Yes, fairly well. And he was better tactically imho which was a little surprise. He played more mature than I've ever seen.

Bit of a thriller going on between Ebdon and Maguire.

[sberry]

What was Ebdon doing arguing with the ref there, that looked a free ball from here?

Ebdon didn't think it was a free ball.

Discussion about a free ball. 2 things for me :

- The ref should make a decision, regardless of what the player thinks
- Ebdon should eventually, after voicing his opinion, accept the refs decision

Btw as far as I can tell from the tv screen, the ref is correct.

[vmax4steve]

Ebdon simply trying to influence someone who he considers to be an inexperienced referee, shamefull really, definate free ball. Clive Everton must be sitting behind someone wearing a sombrero, dork!!
Interesting to see how Maguire simply went from that point onwards, missing balls by miles, looked like watching a match down the local Legion.

Thanks for the update. Just read the match summary on worldsnooker, hopefully he can have a good run.
