UK Championship 25/11 - 7/12

[snookerball]

they will say "yes they are", Red Button and online via BBC Sport website...
and then highlights later tonight, and then the Extra shows at 2am ... :sleeping:
what more could you ask for :biggrin:

Eurosport (free on most Sky packages, others not sure of) are showing the sessions live, as well as streaming (sportlemon and hahasport) for live coverage

The official streaming is blocked now it's televised #stupid

Eurosport is available on Virgin Media. Anyway it's Judd Trump or Nigel Bond to choose from apparently the current International Champion wasn't worthy of a TV Spot. #stupid.

Beeb bein ******s are not televising the evening sessions . That decision really shows up why bes of 17s were discarded.

It's amazing what a difference a couple of days can make for Marco Fu. I think he was the only player to come through the 1st round without making a single break over 50, and today he had three centuries against Lyu Haotian. :smile:

Yes. He's a an incredible and deadly player when he's got his eye in and more then capable of winning any tournament he enters.
I'm really surprised he hasn't won more silverware. The only failing I see is that he isn't aggressive enough at the back end of matches, especially on a final frame. Preferring to play safe and conservative which often allows his opponent to pot a long one and get in. Often I've heard commentators berate him for not taking on the shot and muttering that his lack of attack has probably cost him the frame and match.

I don't blame them. Obviously 'Flog It' is much more important that the UK Championship. FFS

nice century from Morris

but the tone on condescension from Thorne I could do without

I always thought it was more a case of Jimmy having Ms Champagne and Mr Colombia over a bit too often in the old days

Yes. I think that might have a lot to do with it. In a recent interview he said he could still win the Worlds. Makes me wonder if he's still on the stuff.

Having that hairy alien creature on the top of his head probably doesn't help either

Lady luck deserted Jimmy long ago and that carries on into his old age.

White didnt do much wrong and played better
than I have seen him play in a long time. He
gave Ding a good fight.

[mstone]

feel for jimmy there 6 .2 seems abit generous tbh

[cyberheater]

You're a jammy git Ding

[daffie]

Not really it's not

ok ok...I got it. But seriously...really it is

[daffie]

Btw I think it's a good idea having the punters and hazel in the players lounge. Much more active with people around going about their business...very enjoyable to watch imo. Hope they stay there throughout the championship.

Now that Selbys gone. I can't see Ronnie pulling out.

not a chance. unless he physically can't play he will be there!
