He doesn't do any of that anymore!

A shame, it was quite entertaining.

But I like his attitude asking an ovation for Cope, a true gentleman.

You could see a load of people in the audience wanted Cope to go through - would have made for a few entertaining matches.

Ebdon Swims to safety

The Shotgun kept firing but he couldn't shoot down the swimmer

Cracking match. Deciding frame at the Crucible is always a special thing to witness.

Even Peter Ebdon feels the pressure sometimes, he just copes (no pun intended) better than others. And of course a true class act, giving the applause to Cope.

I feel sorry for Jamie as he played well, and probably should've won. Hopefully he'll crack the top 16 next year.

Yes it's unusual to see a player applaud another player when winning! Ebdon has always been a gentleman and it would be good to see some of the young players today take a leaf from Ebdon's book!

Well I know at least I will be watching another match then...

Hats off to Ebdon. Not my favourite player, but is there a better scrapper? Never let Cope get away and when the pressure was on he dug in and did the business.

Hendry, it pains me to say, is living on past glories currently. His safety is just not good enough and he misses far too many balls that we've never seen him miss previously.

Higgins and Ebdon have impressed me more than anyone else so far.

Cope played a stupid shot on the brown!
He could have finished Ebdon if it weren't for that critical error.

Indeed. The press headlines should rea "Brain Dead Cope throws away match to Ebdon"
There was no need to go anywhere near that pack of reds.

Cope is a little rough around the edges, and his inexperience showed during vital times in the match and none more than the deciding frame!
