2014 World Championship Qualifiers

Go on Fordy! 5-3 up, 6-3 would be a nice lead to take to tonight.

[scottley]

Nice ton to finish off, Ford now right in the driving seat 6-3

Jamie jones could of gone 6-2 down so lucky! Holt missed a link over the pocket hit it dead weight bounced out.

I wonder who could be potential banana peels for those in the top 16. I don't think Fu would want to draw Gould, Ding probably doesn't want to draw Day or a Chinese player and possibly O'Sullivan wouldn't want Ebdon (although he has had the better of him in recent times).

Also I reckon Judd and most players will want to avoid Mark Williams if he wins currently 5-4 down to Angles McManus

[mattynoy]

Hoping dale wins!!!!

[Giggity1984]

C'mon Copey!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!

[scottley]

Stevens looks to be striking the ball well, he needed to win that first frame and he's done so, c'mon Fordy.

[Valiullin]

Oh, cr**. It's tough to be a Graeme Dott fan.

[scottley]

Great pressure clearance by Stevens, but to be fair he should have had the chance, pressure starting to build as the winning line gets nearer.

[mattynoy]

Heading back to the dale game fingers crossed put big money on him tonight lol

[scottley]

Half chance for Ford but a bit of pressure creeping in, just shows what a big prize reaching the Crucible is, i can see a few more twist and turns yet.

[brusque]

Shaking Stevens vs. Crashing Ford ... two losers battling hard .. not even fun watching their misery

[brusque]

Oh, cr**. It's tough to be a Graeme Dott fan.

Kyren Wilson is flying at the moment ... to be honest I kinda expected that result even when Dott is a great match player

[scottley]

Well done Fordy, great win for you lad.

[brusque]

Really enjoying the way McManus is choking desperately poor Williams to death here .... McManus with his non existent potting or balls will be crushed by a half decent player rather easily though
