snooker.org seems to be giving steve davis fans some hope

White would get the arena full whoever he was playing. It's good for Snooker if Jimmy gets to the t.v stages.

Whatever happenes, at least Jimmy is starting to win some matches. He's definatly playing better. IMO, it would be a disaster for Snooker if he wasn't on the tour.

If Jimmy can´t compete any longer I see no disaster in him falling of the tour, but luckily it seems like he has found some form again.

Very exciting match between Gould and Wattana. Wish I could see it. Back and forth all day.

[missneworleans]

Ah what a match
Shame they both cant be at the venue
But well played Martin he had so many heartbreaking loses so this was his time

Wattana lost 9 - 8....big shame. No dis-respect to Gould he's a quality player. Just want to see the Thaiphoon on TV again... one day..

[Mr Snooker]

I felt sorry for James Wattna today did very well to take Martin Gould to a deciding frame, i reckon he would av given dotty a good game in telford, but god luck to Jimmy tomorrow against Joe Perry, let's hope he wins because it will be nice to see him play Hendry on TV again

Steve Davis' defeat means he drops out of the top 32 for the first time

[Mr Snooker]

let's hope he gets back the top 32 in for the world qualifiers, the thng is will Steve carry on playing if he falls out of the 32 after Sheffield I hope so and I he think he will do, and also Stephen Hendry could also drop out the top 16 after Sheffield do u think he would go to the qualifiers next season

[trains]

Barely seen Steve Davis this season but I'm sure his safety's still class and I dont doubt his enthusiasm,just from those two aspects alone I'd be a bit surprised if he fell out of the 32-48 if his ranking isnt at the lower end,plus age imo is a little overrated in this game.

[Gargon]

I think Steve Davis will easily stay in the top 48 if he plays like he has so far in the last year or so, but he will need to improve drastically to get back into the top 32 at the German Masters and the Welsh Open.

If Jimmy can´t compete any longer I see no disaster in him falling of the tour, but luckily it seems like he has found some form again.

Jim is a top 32 class player at least it's just that he's still lugging round last seasons poor ranking points when he completely missed out the UK so didn't even get a seeded losers score. When the cut off point comes round next year he won't lose many points, this should help improve his ranking as long as he maintains form, if that makes any sense. Oh you'll see next year...

[Rivers]

It doesn`t look too likely for Steve regaining Top 32, but you never what how things could unfold.

Jimmy White indeed hasn`t got much points to loose, and he can still qualify for UK, so he is in a pretty good spot.

[missneworleans]

Oh no let's hope Stephen wont drop out from top 16
Maybe not end of career but that might be a final downfall

2-1 jim, after losing the first, come on
