did anyone watch the end of the zhang anda vs anthony mc gill match , mcgill potted a red with two reds left and he had a simple yellow to go down for the two reds but stopped like there was a problem , i was doing something else as well am i missing something , he was only about 25 behind.

I think he had a brain-freeze and thinking if the yellow would not be enough for him to win. Checked the scoreboard.
He was 26-50 down, with as you say 2 reds on the table; took the yellow, missed the red and Zhang cleared for the win

Virgo and Darren Morgan commentating with Reanne Evans in the studio

First commentary I heard from Virgo was "I don't know much about Dean Young"
For balance - Eurosport, Phil calling Dean "Ding" or that is what it sounds like to me - and I should know

[trains]

thanks just reminded me , darren morgan's pretty good , on 601 now.

someone said on another site that with maguire's loss this morning he'll have to qualify for the crucible , doesn't surprise me that much or even if he doesn't actually qualify for the crucible , just a generic player for me really , hasn't shown enough since surprising everyone at the uk in what was it 2004 , long time ago.

i know , his contribution to snooker is that he wore a dinner suit in the 80's , knew alex higgins and has a salford accent , like the latter means anything.

[trains]

good comeback from ukraine's iulian boiko , looks like he'll have to go to q school to continue his pro snooker career though , mark allen or ken doherty next tomorrow for him

[Starsky]

Just watching the Hugill match and noticed the cue he is using which looks like a maple.
Has any one an idea of the make ?

And won the UK championship after being docked two frames in the final for being late.

[Neil Taperell]

First time that I’ve watched Chen Zifan ......not impressed after the first 2 frames , hope he improves during the course of the match .

[Neil Taperell]

How quick was Ronnie ......turned it on , went to sort something out on site . Then the match was over !!!

[Nifty50]

4-0 Scott Donaldson v Padgett. Played very well.

[Starsky]

Glad to see Maflin win against Williams .
He is one of those players who is great to watch and would be a loss if he was to drop off the tour. He reminds me a bit of Michael White .
