Anyone see Neal Foulds doing the racing on turf tv ? Should be on the mic in Cardiff instead. Hendon and Studd <-yawn->

After Ronnie won frame 3, that match was a foregone conclusion. He was struggling, but McLeod didn't have the killer instinct.

Personally, I would prefer to watch the more evenly-matched pairings, such as Stevens-Doherty tonight. :smile:

It was a great game by both players.
136 to start by Matthew followed by the next two frames, then a great come back from Ken
old school in places - great snooker

I've just noticed that the miss rule isn't being used so far in the tournament, I'm wondering if they will be bringing it back in the latter stages of the tournament

Are you sure ?? maybe it was just a sensible decision from the ref

miss rule is being used, maybe the frame(s) you noticed this were in snookers required stage?

[jrc750]

Just used there

Snooker.org says Selby vs A Davies is a tv match,Milkins vs Brecel would probably be a better choice ratings wise.

Disagree with this totally
Rather see someone trying to beat the World Champion than a couple of no hopers

Lol both of those 'no hopers' have qualified for the Crucible,Milkins more than once and beating Neil Robertson when he was there,you could even argue as Milkins is a little unpredictable Brecel has a chance to progress,I retort your objection Sir

[jrc750]

Maybe i was a bit harsh lol, Luca has been a big disappointment for me, after seeing all those videos of him knocking in 147's with either hand i was expecting to be the next big thing, but no, not even close

[trains]

Yes but there's the bearing in mind that when he's playing pro's they're a bit harder to get 147's against than perhaps some of the opponents of those youtube vids,just from the continental ratings its a wee surprise for me thats all.

[robertmac]

Robertson is nice to watch when he is break building
but yes it can be very one sided.
O'Sullivan is apparently complaining again about the
venue which is nothing new. He seems to love to be
in the news.

And there are aspects of this year’s set-up, indeed all early rounds for 128 players at venues with multiple tables and more open spectator viewing, that particularly irk the five-time world champion.

Throw in the usual scramble for practice table time with so many professionals in the building and you had a recipe for a headline-grabbing outburst in a BBC interview after his 4-1 win over Vinnie Calabrese.

Impressive this from Walker.

[daffie]

Wow...how much does Walker remind me of a young John Higgins! His general way and mannerisms, his whole demeanor around the table, the way he plays his shots. Incredible! He even seems to have the same color outfit. And a pretty good snooker player as well
