just out of curiosity why was michael georgiou no longer a house or sponsored player at the frames club ? cheers

He moved to Ireland last year . Gutted for Michael , such a top guy . Hope he goes to Q School and qualifies .

yes but didn't he leave frames and become a house or sponsored player at the legends club in leytonstone , so why did he leave for the leytonstone club , just curious , i visited the legends club a few years ago , they had star stickers on tables that weren't anything like pro tables , don't mean to come across as rude to them as its all rather expensive but they shouldn't really

good win 6-3 for Fergal O'Brien against Rod Lawler, Fergal needed that win to have a chance of staying on the tour as well.

Well done Jimmy.

[fkhan]

Any idea what cue he is using ? Use to use a MW

Thanks very much for that , so a Parris Cue it is then .

White is playing some splendid snooker tonight.

[Neil Taperell]

Tight match though .

[fkhan]

Yes, O'Neill edging ahead slightly now.

[fkhan]

A tight match from the get go as Neil said. White hopping past the finish line in the decider.

It was one of those where it was a shame that there had to be a loser . Too good a talent to fall off of the tour , hoping Michael manages to climb up the rankings .

i recall one of his issues being that his club he played at shutdown and he was struggling to find another to play at . Not sure where he plays now though .

Dale v Fan - Dale has not played a match yet but Fan has... so not all players have to win 4 to qualify?

[Neil Taperell]

No, it is tiered for 3 rounds depending on your ranking .

amine amiri from morocco has never won a frame as a pro let alone a match yet eurosport presumably think his match will get a bigger audience than ben merten's , its like there's a masochist behind these decisions getting his kicks from criticism on forums like this and social media :disillusionment:
