2-5 for Jimmy too. I wonder if the guy is up to make some sort of comeback.Comment

A great week for Jimmy, had half expected Tom Ford to be too tough a hurdle even though he hasn't really fulfilled his potential over the last couple of seasons.Comment

congrats to JimmyComment

Great result for Jimmy.
He manges to qualify for the first event this season with 1 extra round to play, when he only qualified for 1 event in the whole of last season, playing 1 round less !
Hope he keeps it going in the next round and following tournaments!!"You can shove your snooker up your jacksie 'cos I aint playing no more!" Alex Higgins.Comment

Well done old boy, well done....
I've just come home and saw the result...great comeback from Jim... as i said ( and others aswell ) in a previous post, this season he looks mentally stronger and he keeps fighting...great job, coming back from 2-0 and against Ford a fairly good player....
I'll be back this year......

JP has charity engagements which were made before the dates of the qualifying were known.Originally Posted by dannyd0g View Postany idea why JP has withdrawn ?
Surely hes not doing a Ronnie and taken a dislike to playing overseas.
Back to the NI and Jimmy has pulled one back to 1-2 against Ford.
Just noticed that all the higher ranked players seeded through to the last 48 won their matches this morning, forming a solid wall that no qualifier could get over. Wonder if Jimmy or any other lower ranked players will upset that order this afternoon ?TSF World Champion 2010

Fantastic weekend for Jimmy - I thought Davies would beat him, and I was convinced Ford would beat him, so I'm delighted to be proved wrong. Looking forward to seeing him in Belfast

Well done Jimmy !!!! I just can't beleive it !!!!
I followed the live scoring on WorldSnooker until Ford was 2-1 up and had a good chance to be 3-1 in front, so I thought Jimmy had a mountain to climb and definitely couldn't make it.... So when I saw the result this morning, I really thought it was an error... But he did it !
I'm so delighted !!!!!!Last edited by Sodapop; 18 August 2008, 06:46 PM.Comment
