There isn't indeed...typical But...online should be possible I suppose.

This what I can't understand with the BBC, the red button is showing the Ding match from last night......Really!!

Surely they could put one of the 4 matches that are under way this morning on, providing they are being playing in the main arena of course.....

I hear ya...and I don't get it either...why is it apparently so hard for the Beeb to air more snooker during daytime hours...nothing else is on worth showing. Must be a rights-thing and of course as always a money-thing...it's a pathetic display if I'm honest!

Btw Sportlemon is also not showing anything of yet...HQ stream "Live event will be starting shortly". Too bad, guess I'll be forced to do some work instead then

the bbc camera men are on coffee break and do not come into work until the lunchtime session...

Looks like it's not being recorded at all, because it's not on the Eurosport Player either. You might catch the ending though, if they are still playing at 2pm when the next session is supposed to start, like Maguire-Brecel and Stevens-Yu yesterday...

Isn't that how they missed (failed to record) the first-ever 147 back in the days?

correct, I dont think Spencer ever accepted that...

Just googled some info about it and apparently the credit for first-ever 147 was later revoked 'due to the pockets on the table being wider than the regulation size.' I'd be pissed as well ffended:

Can someone please explain something to me, as it's been bugging me for a day or so now. On two occasions now, Hazel Irvine has referred to the shock of the "second highest ranked player there" Mark Davis being knocked out. Mark Davis is ranked 13, so how does that make him the second highest ranked player there when we still have the likes of Ding? Robertson? Selby? Trump? Fu? Allen?

Or am I missing something?

[Steve748]

Is it 'the 2nd highest ranked player' to be knocked out? That is how I understood her

Ah! "... to be knocked out."

Turns out I was missing something; a brain.

Sloppy stuff from Selby so far, again he finds himself 3-1 down at the interval.

Tian hasn't taken all of his chances (could have been 4-0 in fact), but he has taken some, unlike most matches in these last few years. So he is definitely more competitive and it could be tricky for Selby to come back. Lots of time though... :smile:

looks like the white will need to be cleaned a lot in the 2nd session
