2018 Scottish Open

[...] Murphy must have played very well to beat Baird playing like he was against Carter.

He didn't, as it happens, and Baird was pretty awful to be honest. It was more a case of Murphy playing slightly less crap than Baird. He won't go much further in this playing like he did here.

He is to my ears. But this is Eurosport so I don't think it's likely he'll be in the coms box even when he does lose.

I think they must do what they do best. Play!

Foulds has just mentioned an incident in an earlier match where a player thumped the table so hard he suggested had it not been the last frame he may not have been able to continue anyway.

Anyone know who it was?

Yes, i was wondering who that was too. Anyone know?

[fkhan]

Well well. Two quarters and two white washes. I wonder what the other two quarters have in store.

He described it as a 'sickening thud'. I'm curious.

[fkhan]

The first upset of the evening then. Day is out.

Judd is through in style. I expect Mark vs Judd in the final.

I haven't been watching this tournament so not sure who you're referring to tonight, but Michael Holt's the famous example of this - smacked the table so hard he broke one of his knuckles and had to go to A&E.

Is Michael Holt in this?

I know how this is, different day seems like a completely different player, some days you can see the line, other days your seeing double. Will watch it on youtube, Baird can play that is for sure, so can Murphy but not during that match I guess.. Cheers

I think Carter is a very consistent player always very acute and dangerous, tough as nails. Got Baird at is best..

Allen said he will be out on the town last night after his win. I get the impression he maybe suffering a bit today.
