2015 Betfred World Snooker Championship

Staggering. They're not even showing it on the red button!

For Pete's sake, I've done it again! I brought the game up on the BBC website and it wasn't until JV said, "Thank you, Hazel," that it dawned on me it's on BBC One! I've been faffing around for ages and it's been on BBC One for the last damn hour!!

I see your point, but despite my disappointment with the BBC's lack of commitment, I only turn to Eurosport in emergencies. Or at least I did before I downsized my Sky package and lost the Eurosport channels.

I can understand that.

Back to the match. Come on Robbo.

Does anyone happen to know the name of Graeme Dott's walk on song? I was desperately trying to get my SoundHound app up and running, but the song had finished before I could manage it.

Question: Is Selby the most hated world champion since Dott in 2006? Perhaps moreso because he beat Ronnie?

Personally, I don't mind if Selby comes again and wins another world title, though I'm not a fan. I just didn't want him to be the one to break the Crucible curse.

Actually Selby is probably my favorite player out there. Along with Mark Williams. So not for me.
Used to dislike Dott because he seemed so overambitious and, but that changed totally and I have grown to really like Dott.

Happy that Ding reached the quarterfinals again. Only his third time at the Crucible.
I really hope now he goes on to win the whole thing, but I still have my doubts.

Robertson has evened it 1-1 after having a tough
frame 1. He needs to get a few one visit frames
tho to get himself more settled.

Thank you

[Balthski]

Neil in the grove now. Ali will need to stop the rot post interval or this one could run away from him.

[robertmac]

Nice 129 break by Robertson to go 3-1.
Carter needs to win a frame after the break.

Ding 13-9 over Higgins.
Bingham 13-5 over Dott.

Allen leads Hawkins 9-7 so a close match.

Stevens vs O'Sullivan should be interesting too.

It's a Glasgow Rangers favourite.

He was on top of his game the whole last season and he didn't show up at Worlds. Maybe this is the time for the opposite of that to happen.

Well, I won't hold that against the song. I still like it.

Superb session from Neil Robertson, very heavy scoring. He will be very hard to beat if he continues to play like that. We've seen that sort of form a lot in the early rounds this season though, and not so much at the business end of tournaments...

Yeah. I'm to lazy to search it, but I have the feeling in the last years often some people got World Champion (or had good results in Sheffield) who hadn't been THAT great in the tournaments leading up to the World Championship. I could be wrong though.
