2016 Northern Ireland Open

[Alba_]

Really? why do you say that?

The match will be on Youtube soon enough. Watch it back and tell me he wasn't trying to gift Jimmy frames. He didn't want to batter Jimmy 4-0. Which would have been the case if he played properly.

Anyone who doesn't see what is going on here in blind. Frame fixing of the highest order right here...

John higgins match is over.

Haha quick punch I like it

Liang "million pound" Wenbo looks to be going out against Mark King

[OmaMiesta]

haha, Its hard to say. Ronnies been playing pretty unpredictable lately with spurs of greatness followed by sub par performances...but yea wouldnt be surprised if he showed Jimmy White a bit of respect in that regard.

And that means the match is fixed? Ronnie has been lacksidaisical in loads of matches in the past against players he likes, then he could play the same player a month later and whitewash him, its the way he is, hes not a robot.

[Cue crafty]

He's looking better and his barnet is like a little thatched cottage.

Ahh bless him, I love the Wind! but he is reminiscent of a Gothic chipmunk when he wears his leather jacket...

Jesus was nervous for him on the last red cheeky double

That was absolute class that shot, to pull it off so calmly as well!

[Ramon]

Superb maximum clearance by Higgins!

especially the last positional shot from black and find the right angle to play the double.
It had to be so precise to pull out that double and get back to black .
excellent played.

Just watching Jimmy and Ronnie next to each other on the studio sofa. If they ever retire and need a bob or two they could definitely tour as Steptoe & Son…

hahaha! That got me laughing. Jimmy as old Steptoe and Ronnie as Harold... ha!

[screw-back]

Go back one more season and he is listed on the EoM.

I'd say it was well documented at the time on WS but since their new website format, a lot of old information is either hidden or removed

The WS website is badly created but there is no-one there willing to listen to Joe Public.

Coral are offering 70/1 for Jason Weston to beat Mark Davis,currently 0-3,worth a pound,can't be bothered to take it though

Jason Weston didn't make it in the 90's. What makes him think he can do it now? Waste of his money!

[crocodile]

Mark Allen seems to want to make sure he goes down as the least likeable player in snooker history, I don't think he'll get that one out of the hands of Mr. Hann though.

Heard of Trump then?

[jonny66]

Heard of Trump then?

Donald? Judd seems like a likeable enough chap when he's interviewed.

Been meaning to ask, was anyone watching Doherty-Hamilton last night? When Ken got two snookers back in the end and could close out the match had the pink 'near' the yellow ball pot and cue ball behind that 'line' (pink position) towards the cushion so it wasn't exactly an easy pot but by the look of it on from tv it would have gone and it was almost ideal to go to the black. Doherty didn't even think about it, like it was impossible.
