Okay, thanks

[Snooker]

One of the best matches I have ever seen, well played Jimmy.

[chrisdebag]

well so far ding is playing a great game nice to see people live up to the hype for once

[Sonny]

Ebdon was superb last night

[Kiddo]

I noticed this thing in his ear too. But I don't know what it is...

[Sonny]

My guess is an ear infection

[mirocri]

He spoke about some sort of ear infection as I have just read.

[Sonny]

(goddam no short replies)

[Sonny]

Performance of the day goes to Ding

[Kiddo]

Yeah, it's impressive when you look at his age...

[Sonny]

It's impressive when you look at his breaks.

Considering how much Ebdon was hyping him up last year I think he's starting to show everyone what all the fuss is about. I mean a 141 break of sheer class at the very first visit to the table in his opening match followed by a near 147 but for a kick when in prime position.

I wonder what odds the bookies will give me on a Ding v Trump World Final happening in the next 10 years. It should be quite long seeing as the last time I predicted something like that was a Ronnie v John Higgins final before they were tv famous, and it's only happened once (2001 18-14 to Ronnie).

[Kiddo]

Hahaha... That's funny

[chrisdebag]

i would have thought the best thing about going to it live is to get away from virgo thorne and taylor

[Sonny]

haha chrisdebag wins

[Sonny]

my predictions:

Hunter
Ebdon
Higgins
Hendry
Williams
Brown
Doherty
O'Sullivan

5 out of 7 so far

come on Mark!
