... I expected a closer match.

So did I.

well... what can i say? 'mon the ****in' Kaaaaaaaaaaaaat

Just to explain this, Mark Williams is my lucky dip for the Grand Prix. But even if he wasn't, I'd still believe in resurgence. NOW just really would be a good time.

At least Mark Williams won this 4:3 on the black
So good for your lucky dip austrian_girl!

[samasnookerfan]

Come on Mark!!!

Seems I spoke some words of magic there! Congratulations to Mark Williams for winning his first professional match in 2007!

yayyy at least it's a win to boost his confidence a lil... he's a classy player and indeed one of my favorites (form is temporary but class is certainly permanent )...

snooker life is just unfair at the moment... I just headed home head over heals from university to drop in for the selby match and now they are showing robertson -.- I mean, I like neil lots, but what the hell... so looked forward to the selby-ebdon match. *grumbles*
well. but it's still snooker so I'm partly happy.

about ricky walden: is it only me or has he a REALLY funny way to move around the table? when I saw him play in fürth I wasn't sure he wouldn't simply fall asleep while "moving" ... it took some time to get used to this sight I must admit. nonetheless he played some nice shots there. admittedly I never really expect him to, simply because he makes a slightly drugged/ extremely sleepy impression ^^

speaking of MAGIC, Maija & i had quite a laugh yesterday as i managed to work some black magic for John Higgins, one of Maija's faves (mine too) & my lucky dip, during his match against T. Pengfei on two separate occasions that led to the latter missing a couple of sitters ...

one of my favs too, so thanks for working some magic his way

[Wim]

Though Higgins is not my fav (I find him a rather boring player, not attacking enough ) his game looks quite good. A bit early to say but with ROS certainly favourite here.

cap_comp%5B1%5D.jpgAnyone has a look on BBC last scores page? It seems snooker is now a trianthlon discipline ...

[Miss_S]

LOL Mon, what can I say? After all, it is the BBC we're talking about


F***, Matthew Stevens is out, now that Liu Song has won his match.

OK, I'll be cheering for Higgins, Carter etc for the rest of the tourney, and maybe I'll actually get time for my studies now

Argh such a shame for Ebdon's *almost* 147. Couldn't believe it.

[elvaago]

Very disappointed with Davis and Ding, can't say I'm unhappy to see Greene and Fu come through though.

And Robertson's played very poorly too, which is surprising since he won it last year so the format must not be the problem.

Robertson suffers from the same condition Maguire and Ding suffered from? Being really successful and then falling into a deep deep dip.

[Alex0paul]

I am really dissapointed with Dott's attitude in this tournament. He does not look bothered at all and it seems as though he has given up before the event started. There has been nothing of his usual grit and everytime he has missed he has a look on his face as if everything is against him.

[elvaago]

He was moaning last year at this format. I'm sure he isn't giving it all he's got. But oh well, other players are and it looks like Hamilton is very sharp.
