2023 World Championship

The Jones v Allen match should be interesting today, I'm interested to see if Jak keeps the form he's shown ( looking good right now) but also how Mark deals with that. I hope Neil Robertson will be taking interest too, might be a few lessons to learn from it.

What’s the China Announcement Barry refers to?

Not sure. Maybe about the missed events in China due to covid.

What’s wrong with snooker.org? Seems to be unavailable most of the time.

Herman is having issues with the new server setup they transferred to a while back.
He is working hard on fixing it.

Two debutants in the Quarter finals Jak Jones and Si Jiahui, for the first time since 1988. Who were the other two debutants to make the quarter finals in 1988 and who did they lose to and by what score

I believe it was:
Tony Drago lost to Steve Davis 13-4
Steve James lost to Cliff Thorburn 13-11

Well that was a bit of a strange session 6-2 Ronnie somehow.

Very odd, when Ronnie gifted Luca that frame by fouling the black, I thought I could win from there nine times out of ten! Weird how Luca just seems to be taking it as if it's a Sunday practice session. I know he's laid back but you'd think he look more focused for this one.

Blue to pink, he could have positioned the cue ball easily.

Probably bandwidth/money issues. Something else WS should be supporting or doing themselves, their website is utter garbage.

The blue he missed in the middle, I know he had some running side on it but for a pro, or even an amateur, that's a sitter. Has to be a lack of concentration and care on the shot.

A quick look up on CueTracker and Robert is your mum's brother!

Jones and Allen looking a bit nervy in that 8th frame. That was a wonderful long yellow from Jak, followed by a shocker of a green.
If it carries on like this they, and I, will be in bits by the time we get to the sharp end.

Loved Hendrys head in hands reaction to it after the frame. I know he bangs on about the same stuff Stephen. But always agree with his lack of understanding for players who don't have the right level of fire and intensity at the WC.

I Hope After all those disappointments at least Selby - Higgins will be a high quality Thriller. When they are in form they Are the two best players IMO. Though Selby wasn‘t in form the first two rounds, Hope he Lifts his game.
