4-2 Ken Doherty - Mike Dunn

No sympathy. Why is he playing so quick, its not working and hasn't worked for a year. Stupid shot selection that he wouldn't have played around 18 months ago.

Ken over the line next

5-2 Ken Doherty - Mike Dunn
4-3 Stephen Maguire - Fergal O'Brien
2-2 Stephen Lee - Nigel Bond (Bond looking good for this frame)

edit: and yay! Maguire through as well 5-3

Lee/Bond at 3-3 (go Nigel)

True unless Bond and Lee are really dead-locked in a tremendous safety battle (or they dropped asleep on the shots) ... grrrrrrrrrrrrrr
Any other source?

looks like the scorers decided to take a break the moment the Maguire match finished.
There is globalsnooker, but nothing much moving there as well right now http://www.globalsnookercentre.co.uk...China_Draw.htm
and BBC, which is hopelessly behind
nothing on bwin
edit: and http://yahoo.eurosport.co.uk/snooker...fullpage.shtml
seems stuck as well
do they have the same scorer feeding his data to all of these???

Shocking news for Dott! He's completely lost it lately! He used to be so carefull before each shot and take his time, now he does it so quick and carelessly. A shame because this guy in form can win against anyone.

Pinches turns out to be a dungerous player though, remember him doing quite well in the 2005 Grand Prix once he got through the qualifier stages.

Edit: Well played Ken! Finally showing us some form after some disastrous seasons

[The Noose]

Whats the Lee vs Bond current score?

[Mignon]

That's the question of the morning! The match must be over by now..

[TIP147]

Have somebody new results from Lee - Bond Match ???

[Rane]

Stephen Lee is having a lunch break

[Mignon]

Has anyone seen on worldsnooker.com anything like 'sorry folks, we have let you down, we had technical problems etc'??...

Just curious......
