World Championship discussion

Well played Fergal just a shame you couldn't win it 10-7.

Barry Hawkins is all but out of the top 16 now I expect.

Well done Fergal

They've just announced that they're going to turn the table round in 15 minutes for the "O'Sullivan match" - poor Ding doesn't even get a mention - why then do they normally bring people off 40 minutes before?

well done Fergal, another exciting match

not sure what I've predicted but I suspect this could be worst round of predictions frome me

[Ginger Freak]

Hmm, live scoring says its 8-1 to Hawkins! I take it that means Fergal has won?

Looks like he has!

don't know, perhaps they are in a hurry because of television time and interest to this match not only in UK (BBC), but also Europe (eurosport) and China (CCTV)?

The score already updated to Ronnie vs Ding match, and yea Fergal has come through 10-9

They are in a hurry also to change to the Ronnie vs Ding score on the livescore board too

Well, if, in the unlikely circuimstances of Ding making a comeback, then the session may enroach on the evening session if given the usual 40 min turnaround.

I know the match is LIKELY to be over soon but the organisers cant afford to take anything for granted, hence the rush to get them back on.

The way I understand it is that they'll not start a new frame if there's only 40 minutes left to the next match thinking that that frame might likely not finish in due time.

Im keeping my live scoring on Doherty-Allen, i'll use this board for Ronnie-Ding updates!

BBC Crucible question surely has two possible answers. The question who is the oldest player in the draw and the possibilities are Hendry, Parrott and Davis. But Davis isn't in the draw anymore so the answer is Parrott.

Or am I just trying to be clever?

Why Hendry then?

Haha, see your point!

I think they mean the players DRAWN out of the hat for the championship, all future matches are mere FIXTURES. Or thats how I look at it anyway!

Therefore Davis is the answer!

[Alex0paul]

Is it me or is Mark Allen wearing clothes a couple of sizes too big for him?
