Well I haven't read through all the posts by any means but wanted to give my impressions on today.
Davis was at times painful to watch, but can grind down Bingham. Safety needs to be perfect though.
Thought Day played very well for 4 frames but the break did Judge some good. Hurdle cleared though and looking forward to Higgins vs Day, as both will bring out the best in the other.
Selby vs King, barely saw a ball so won't comment.
Hendy vs Allen. Great game. Errors, good break-building the lot. The way hendry came out to come back to 6-6 was brilliant, Allen dug in and got to 8-7. Hendry should have had it back to 8-8, but Allen went 2 clear with 3 to play. 17 was Hendry, then 18... Allen seemed too interested in the scoreboard, and I think that lost him concentration. He then tried a miracle shot on the blue (he does hit the ball TOO hard for me).
19 was Hendry at his composed bet. Interested to see where he rates that 75 amongst his best breaks at the Crucible

They can both improve, of course."You can shove your snooker up your jacksie 'cos I aint playing no more!" Alex Higgins.

Good point. It also showed the way he played that pink at 100 miles an hour in the right middle pocket. Where a subtle roll in would have been okay. The same applies to Cope, also hitting the ball to hard.
ps. I guess I will switch to The Williams match, dreadful start of the davis match and they clap every ball he plays, even straight forward pots. Disgusting!

King with extra motivation
With Mark Allen and Matthew Stevens going out in the first round, a victory for Mark King will all but seal a Top 16 place for next season. So close now for the Romford Godfather
15 Mark Allen 2800 25725
16 Matthew Stevens 25413
17 Ken Doherty 1400 25119
18 Mark King 2800 25000
19 Jamie Cope 24744
20 Joe Swail 3800 24725
21 Stuart Bingham 2800 23625sigpic

King misses last red in maximum attempt
For those of you who were watching the other match, Mark King missed a difficult last red along the cusion after potting 14reds/14blacks in his maximum attempt. It was a great 122 break nevertheless. He'll know that just one win could be enough to secure a place back in a Top 16 which he should never be out of. He'll be even more fired up tomorrow if that is possiblesigpic

Have you ever posted on another topic out of interest?
