Off bbc2 for nothing and switch to red button and what is on....

Holding logo, wtf.

Barry Hearn needs to have a major word with the beeb, or sack them off and go to itv.

That's right, absolutely nothing on the red button until 3.30pm. The BBC once again demonstrating their absolute commitment to the sport.

I reckon Dale would have fared better against Ronnie. Hmmm... :/

[Hinzy9]

But he played Robertson in 2012, and Robertson did give him a game, didn't he?

Comfortable win and would have been more emphatic over a best of 33.

Now hawkins will win sevens frames in a row

[scottley]

Yes we could watch it online or Euro but why is it not on the red button? You've got stations like bbc 3 doing nothing until 5:30, why not bang it on there? Hopeless!

BBC3 shares bandwidth with CBBC during the daytime so it's not possible.

red button is there for this reason, this is a joke.

Is a number to complain to?

They keep saying watch online, red button or connected tv, love to see one of them explain what a connected tv.

[RaveDave]

ffs there is nothing on the red button why the **** aren't they showing it on there? At least it is on BBCs website I guess...

I thought it was a great match, 13-10 in the end, and O'Sullivan was behind after the opening session. I don't know, maybe it's wishful thinking on my part, but if Neil Robertson can't give O'Sullivan a decent game then it really is all a bit pointless. :smile:

Anyway, unlucky for Hawkins not to be on a red after that great split, maybe he could have started to put something together, but things are just not going for him. O'Sullivan with a chance to pull further away...

As soon as Hawkins starts to play half decently he miraculously wins a couple of frames against the "invincible" O'Sullivan.

Funny that, isn't it?

He really needs the last two as well though, before he can start thinking about coming back in the third session. 10-6 is not too bad at the halfway point, but 11-5 or 12-4 would be a bit much.

Hawkins odds have just gone from 200-1 down to 100-1 to win the WC, what a difference a few frames makes...

It's a huge stretch to call what Barry is playing half decent. Too many absent-minded mistakes. Frames that could go either way and Barry managed to pinch them. Nothing funny or surprising about that.

[montoya10]

Well, this is some irony. Barry first played a poor shot to split the pack and somehow got a red. He then played a much better one a couple of shots later and got nothing to play with.
