Lol being a dick? That was one of the greatest feats in the history of sports. Absolute genius stuff....how can someone be offended by that rather than struck by complete awe....Who else could call a 147 and actually do it, the sheer confidence and arrogance, incredible stuff lol.

He was a dick because he waited around for the answer instead of getting on with it ! As if to say if there's no way I'm continuing if no money for it.

Didn't Ronnie call King nothing but a banger in his book.

Yep ronnie beaten by a sausage....

Not a great day of snooker so far, an easy win for Selby against a very poor Un-Nooh, and a hard-earned win for Ben Woollaston against a struggling Robertson.

An entertaining match between Carter and Zhao Xintong tonight, less than three hours for all nine frames. :smile: It could have gone either way, but in the end I think Zhao's inexperience cost him again. He just went for one or two too many. Still, this was the best run of the season for him, and I'm sure he will be a much stronger player in a year or two. :smile: Now, if only we could get David Hendon to stop calling him Zhao Yintong... :wink:

Ford secured is place in the WGP with the win over King.

Yes, that would be a great improvement.

He refused to shake King's hand at the end of the frame, amazing feat it was but he still behaved like a dick, anyway it was nice to see King come back from 4-1 down to beat him, I hope he told him to sling his hook at the end

He shock Mark King's hand after potting the pink, when he "played" at not going to pot the black; after potting the black, he then shock Jan Verhaas' hand. To me he did not have to shake Mark's hand again

I enjoy that match, good for Mark to gain the advantage now (5-4 H2H) not many can claim that

I said exactly the same thing last year, the Germans are an extremely tough crowd! There's been some superb shots that have one by with not so much as a ripple of applause!

They certainly enjoyed that escape from The Sheriff, as did I. What an enjoyable match this has been so far. :smile:

Very well played Anthony, 5 - 2 win over Selby.

Good match between Bingham and Gilbert, although the decider was ridden with mistakes, just like Robertson-Woollaston and O'Sullivan-King. :smile:

What about Yan Bingtao's performance to reach the quarter-finals? At 16 years of age, he is one of the youngest players ever to reach that stage of a major ranking event, and I wouldn't put it past him to go even further. :smile:

Yes, 5 - 1 against Michael Holt, great result for the lad, and Holt's no mug either. Looking forward to his next match with Bingsy tonight.

Over the moon for Anthony , what a fantastic result . The Hawk next , that's going to be another tough match .

[Rane]

Starting the season from scratch Antony Hamilton is inside top 64 on the provisional rankings. When was the last time someone broke into top 64 in one season? It doesn´t happen very often.

[Neil Taperell]

Bingtao is doing well on the one year list as well .

Only 13 centuries so far , seems low .
