Championship League Snooker 2009

Liang Wenbo is in some discomfort out there with back trouble.

Quite.
He has a nagging Trump too... so, a chance to rest his back in his chair.

Monique,

Thank you for sharing those links. Previously I was watching it on atdhe.net, then I found acesportstreams.blogspot.com. Though www.fromsport.com seems a better picture quality, less jumpy picture.

How bad does it appear to be?

Well a couple of times after he missed before he sat back in his chair he kept his legs straight and bent forward as far as he could and just held his position for a second or two.

(One for the older generation to try )

Liang isn't holding his sides anymore, but has just played poorly. His longpotting is nonexistent at the moment and despite some miscuings Davis leads 3-0 and deservedly so. The difference in tactical experience shows.

Nevertheless, Davis can't afford these miscuings against Walden or Dott.

And it's another whitewash for Davis.

Solid break building from Trump beats whining Dott 3-1 with a few great right handed shots too. I half expected Dott to continue ala Robidoux but with a face like a smacked **** Dott shakes his hand.

My friend, I am evermore convinced Trump is the real deal !

Still lots of flashes of his inexperience Noel but his showing signs of the promise I was aware of 7/8 years ago. Interestingly enough watch out...Wenbo has a safety game!!

What the hell are you talking about?. If your going to spout sh*t go do it somewhere else.
Dott did nothing in those frames to deserve those comments.

With all due snooky I shall ignore your comments as an obvious Dott fan and admire your loyalty to him. If you watched the match youll agree.

[snooky147]

With all due respect I did watch the match. There was no whining by either player in what was a high quality affair. If you want to criticise his playing well fine, but dont tag on imaginery traits on whining just because you obviously dont like him.

An eye-opening fly...

Stevens deftly swept a fly off the table and threw it away.
Chamberlain marched over smartly and stepped on it.
This is the principle difference between players and referees.

COME ON STEVE! Great 71 break to take the first frame!

[bongo]

this could go either way!

edit - Dott keeps missing now!

[bongo]

As Dave Hendon in commentary said, if Steve wins this frame then the pressure will be on Dott, he was within one ball earlier...

edit - it's 2-0!

very interesting frame coming up...

strange shot from Dott, Steve nearly went in off...then missed!

[noel]

COME ON STEVE! Great 71 break to take the first frame!

"Great"??? GOD-LIKE!
...needing to run all the colours... does so effortlessly up to a straight pink into the side pocket... then easy stun up for a lovely black and a great clearance... BUT...Steve miscues shamefully.. pink caroms into yellow corner right in front of a horrified-looking Dott and the cueball miraculously winds up on black for the win.
