And he's on a nice break in the 9th... Keep going Mark!!!

Yey Finally!!! Btw, only 2 matches didn't go our way since the beginning of the tournament

Well played Mark!!! And tough luck, John :snooker::snooker:

What did Mark mean - For the glove???

Well played, especially in the end... congratulations!

[RGCirencester]

Ah "The glove" was the nickname for a friend of his in his pool team who died recently

[doorag]

kudos to all of you who called this.. i didn't see this coming myself.

Good gesture from Mark then.

I wondered what that sign was all about.

[very.tee]

Awww, well!

What was that?! Mark Allen was poor but made it through...

But John?! I have to say even though he did play really badly everyone has a bad day... that was really remarkable

I'm happy though But cheering for Mark Allen stops here: he's playing Selbs next

[Odrl]

This really is the worst Higgins has played for a long long time. Mark Allen seemed to be cueing nicely, but he made so many unforced errors, despite being put under no pressure whatsoever. He could be in trouble against Selby, although Selby wasn't that impressive himself.

I didn't enjoy this match particularly I'm afraid. Hopefully Day-Perry will be more interesting.

Oh Thank you for telling.

Was for his friend in his pool team nicknamed the glove who died recently

EDIT: that was a bit late...

[Mr P]

I know it was. Thats why I said it was a good gesture.

PS - Did Ali win last night?

So to sum it up Mark wasnt very good but was quite ok especially in the end...still needs to increase his game to hope for more
As for John...haven't seen him playing so poorly for years...yes he played badly at Shanghan semis but that was quite cool comparing to this
Well all have bad times now needs to prepare for ranking tournaments to stay no1, not much time left to Welsh though
Anyway good luck to both

anything noteworthy in the bbc interview ?

[missneworleans]

Mark Allen has a new cue...but I think you know it
