A hangover for Nigel Bond , a great win for John Astley in beating Hawkins 4 Nil and another impressive win for Ursenbacher in whitewashing Holt.
well done to Andy Lee in beating Fergal O’Brien, a much needed victory.

Sam Craigie docked a frame for turning up late .........at least he made the match this time .

WS needs to have a word with him , 3rd time in 2 seasons . Either turn up or we will give your spot to someone else more deserving.......is what I would be saying to him .

I think that's the speed Mark Selby needs to try and play at. He has shown he is cueing well on certain shots and just needs to get on with more to flow better.

im beginning to think he is succumbing to OCD, like the person who has to check every door, window and light switch etc etc before they go to bed Selby seems to be trying to look at every permutation on the table sometimes before taking a shot. If he went more with first instinct on the shot I'm sure he'd be right more often than not.

I think he must have heard me?!?! Playing Mark Joyce his AST is 20 secs, and he's just potted an amazing shot to the middle, one that I never would think he take on in a million years and won the frame!!! Eureka!!

And Figuereido didn’t pot a ball!!!

I hear he didn't get much of a chance - one loose safety and lost 4-0

Gary Wilson beats Rod Lawler 4-0 in under 45 minutes - breaks of 101, 50, 69

I'm surprised any one could get through four frames in that time playing Lawler.

Fairly sure people who get home from work and watch the earlier ROS v Dale match will enjoy it! Quite a mad old match and some great snooker.

Anyone else think the audio sounds strange? Everything sounds heavy and it almost gives the impression the ball is bouncing off the bed of the table a lot.

Has the miss rule changed?

I wanted to upload a video of Sharav missing three times before getting a warning. Tried using the new upload feature, didn't work, tried using the old method, didn't work, just have to make do with a link.
Is there a way to do this at all now?
