Grand Prix - Quarter-finals discussion

[Forman]

i think the premier league clashes with the bahrain tournament.

lol beat me to it

[Ellena]

Ellena, they and also Selby are to miss Bahrain because of Premier League.

There's tennis on ES, so...

Thank you Darrus, didnt occur to me PL could be the reason .

As for ES .....Ill send them a bomb

[Monique]

Ellena, where have you been living?
They don't play in Bahrain because the dates clash with the PL league. Selby, Ding, Higgins and Davis were contracted to play in the PL that week prior WPBSA set up the Bahrain tournie without discussing it with Matchroom and Matchroom has made it clear it would sue the players if they don't.
Matchroom had decided of the PL calendar on the bases of what WPBSA had foreseen end of previous season and in agreemement with them. So Matchroom stance is very understandable. Themselves have contracts to honour ... with Sky for instance.

Wondered if anyone knows the prixe money breakdown? Its usually on GSC but I couldnt find it.
Also, noticed that theyve updated the rankings over there which is great, but spotted that those benefitting from the Bahrain withdrawels have not been credited their extra points (bar Jimmy!)

1- 0 to Davis. Brakes of 43 and 42 and some safty between them. If I could just watch the game, not the damn live score. If Davis keeps scoring like this and a litle bit better, he has a chance to win, he can't just make a tactical mess out of every frame like he did with Gunnell.

[darrus]

Damn BBC and Eurosport altogether
Last season it was so amazing - being able to watch everything... Well, good things don't last
I'm all for moving every snooker event to China or at least to Northern Ireland from now on.

[tallguy]

Will Eurosport begin streaming after tennis is over ?

[Ellena]

Trump is 2-0 up.

Snooker on ES now..WOW

[Forman]

Trumps leading ronnie 2-0, fancy his chances of a whitewash?

[darrus]

I don't like this result so far

[João]

It's not worrying for Ronnie yet. How many times has he been losing early in the matches lately and then sprints to win 3-4-5 frames in a row?

[noel]

Snazzy exhibition brown!
Trump has finally fired up The Rocket.

=o)

[darrus]

Ronnie isn't playing well so far...

[Forman]
