2 re spots wow great pot by Davis

[daffie]

Hoping the Spaceman progresses...very likeable character and a good player. Gotta love the shoes

[HIPPY147]

surely Dale cant lose from here

[daffie]

Me too. Still gutted.

On another note, why on earth did the BBC let Neil Foulds go over to Eurosport. I'm not sure how much more of Steve Davis I can take. Love hm as a pundit/person in general, but as a commentator, just ARRGHHH!!

It's the incessant jabbering and pretentious style that irritates me so much. If he just spoke normally it wouldn't be so bad, but it's like you can hear his brain ticking over as he constructs his sentences; those annoying pauses in his delivery as he searches for clever ways to say something that's really very simple.

Couldn't agree more...my sentiments exactly And I wholeheartedly agree with others on this forum who find the BBC commentators obnoxious and at times disrespectful towards the players. They should tone it down quite a bit imo.

I really don't care who wins with the Selby vs Carter match.









/Come on Carter

[Chappy5]

Where the hell was this Mark Davis yesterday???

At least we would of had a decent game and i am hoping he can come back to make a match of it but i doubt it from 9- 4 down.

I'm surprised the players can concentrate what with all the fake noises from the audience

[daffie]

I spot a contradiction there, but each to their own!

I get it...and I don't agree

- I like watching Selby and his extreme tenacity
- I do not enjoy watching Carter (too negative)

Selby to win for me, Carter is a tough opponent but Selby has enough class to take him even if he doesn't play his absolute best. Should be a close match maybe 13-10 13-11

I sincerely hope Selby wins, for multiple reasons:

- I like watching Selby and his extreme tenacity
- I do not enjoy watching Carter (too negative)
- We need a strong enough opponent for ROS (Ali's death-stare doesn't work, we know that much )

Agree with all that. My two worst commentators together, Virgo and Davis, plus my worst player to watch (Selby).....makes me wonder why I am watching/listening!! I suppose I am hoping for Carter to win, but given Selby's luck in the 2nd and 3rd frame, i wouldn't bank on it.

Its taken me a few days to get over Ding's loss.

Me too. Still gutted.

Davis really had to put some effort in to lose that frame. It was kind of like the third or fourth frame between Williams and Robertson yesterday, but Williams managed to win in the end, while Davis successfully threw this one away...

Davis missing easy pots
