One going across would work better

Neal Foulds posted this picture what the Crucible would look like with three snooker tables set up after someone suggested having 64 players at the Crucible for the first round of the World championships with three tables in play. Cruciable Three Tables.jpg

So which of the Seeds do the Qualifiers want?

Carter must be their No 1 pick?

Thanks to Maguire\Vafaei for doubling my investment B)

I misread this and thought you typed "Ali" as he's a moody little git when things aren't going his way.

yes he is - Ali that is; I have seen him on non-TV tables and some of his actions around the table are dubious at best.

Alfie showing his frustration, banging the table when missed that shot; I have always liked when my opponent shows their frustrations and anger in their own game, as it lifts my game.
Come on Alfie, calm down, play the balls, focus on your match and stop looking at the other tables

Un-Nooh qualified, really glad for him also classy act by Alfie at end.

well done Un-Nooh - keeping ahead of Burden who was always clawing back

Shame for Burden (Q-School now?) as I have a soft spot for him as being the first Pro-player I spoke to

He still managed to pinch the frame after the F&M fiasco, good lad. I agree with you about the table thumping, always gladdens my heart. 😀

And here's Wakelin... He's got some people on the pitch... They think it's all over!

Just edged it, must've been the lessons we've dished out to him over the years

The White/Robertson match is key. If Robertson wins, I should keep the lead. If White wins it's all to play for.

I think I could possibly draw if Thepchaiya Un-Nooh loses to Burden. I would need a massive turnaround in the Holt-Milkins match to have a chance of winning. :smile:

Well, what the **** happend to Liang Wenbo ??? 9 nil down? How on Earth ?! Was he sick or something??
