Royal London Watches Grand Prix First Round Discussion

[João]

grrrrr, let me watch the matches already!

Can anyone describe how's Hendry looking like? Hopefully not as bad as in the Premier League.

[Mignon]

Any news about live stream outside the Uk?
Can't understand politic of ES and BBC.
Why are they so bloody selfish?

Obviously, they want to help snooker become more and more popular!!

Marvellous digital picture over here. Nice widescreen LCD 40 inch BBC2 coverage. Gilbert can make it 2 all. But still not decided.

[JiangYu]

Dott is out on screen!!!

He's not playing well at all, missing so many easy balls Got to fancy Gilbert's chances now I think.

To those outside the UK, the stream on the BBC isn't good. It plays for 5-10 seconds then the picture pauses for nearly a minute. It goes around in this cycle every time. I've tried deleting my cookies and restarting but it makes no difference. I've got 10 meg broadband so it's not the speed of my PC. You would expect a much better stream from a massive company like the BBC. It must be down to them not increasing the size of the server or not streaming in a high enough kbps.

I hate cycling, especially when it is broadcasted instead of snooker on eurosport
I apologize to all people who like cycling for being cyclophobic.

I feel much better now!

Is Steve Davis using his new break shot?

[steedee]

is david gilberts haircut a homage to a young alex higgins?

[tallguy]

C'mon Robbo.

[spike]

Gilbert makes it 3-3. Hope Hendry can get over the line in this match.

Looks like 4-3 after that difficut shot by Gilbert but I reckon it's going to go all the way to a decider.

EDIT: Ouch, landing up to the pink. Maybe there's a twist and Gilbert goes 4-3 up. If he does, I think he'll take the match.

[spike]

Yeah JiangYu it could well go to a decider. Gilbert's inexperience is just starting to show in this 7th frame and Hendry is now 4-3 in front.

[tallguy]

Does Steve need snookers now ? World Snookers shows the score as 64-38 in favor of Robbo.

[bobbond]

Steve is 27 behind with 27 on the table
