I think this says it all:

101 Roy Stolk (Career Best)

[Lindea]

Yes looks like it

He might have problems with his back again.
I hope he'll be fit again for next season

[lagermike]

Well, there goes Finland's best ever chance of their first ever world snooker champion!

That's Roy Stolk's profile on worldsnooker as I was curious who that guy is. I didn't know you could enter the Main Tour by winning the Romanian Open, tho. Is this info accurate?

I've heard Rolf Kalb mentioning it a while ago...there were some German players participating in the Romanian Open, too bacause there was a Main Tour spot available

Wouldn't it be great to see Andrew Higginson go through to the Crucible? I forgot who else he has to play along the way but I'm sure he isn't scared of any names (the others might be scared of him tho ).

Anybody know what the odds are for him becoming world champion?

he has 3 more qualifying rounds to get through just to qualify for The Crucible, and he definately has no easy draw. . Each match is very tough, and arguably ech one gets tougher than the last, in Q2 he plays Scott mackenzie then Ricky Walden then Mark Selby !!


Betfred have made him 125-1 against becoming world champion, with Parrot and Drago at 1000-1.

I find it surprising that Stephen Lee is so low at 66-1. With him being a ranking winner last season and a consistent member of the top 16.

referring to Statman's post. Did Abernathy not reach the crucible once?

No he didn't. The only 'A' is Roy Andrewartha, who played in 1984 (from memory).

[GOMH71]

Excuse me Statman but what do you reckon James Leadbetter needs to do to stay on via the one year ?...

[snookersfun]

It doesn't look good for your 'A's TS:

tony drago 9 - liu song 9

Come on Tony !!

survival on the main tour could be at stake.

[Aggrolite]

I think that's the end of Drago this year. Does that mean he dosen't keep his place? Big shame if he dosen't.
