Discuss!

[Mr P]

Oh flippin' heck. Why do I have to miss Mark AGAIN!?!

I was hoping he'd be on in the morning.

[Sir Ivanhoe]

This ones Mark Selby's. I'm probably last player to beat Mark in Leicester, abeit with a few blacks start. Guess who! Clue: I've got grey hair now you can't beat a good old un.

Snap. Very inconsiderate of the organisers to do that
Mind you I might be able to sneak back and watch it yet.

I've got up early on the weekend so I can finally watch some snooker! :snooker:

I don't actually know who I want to win the first match, possibly Jamie Cope as he really needs a confidence boost after last season. I saw him after his match against Ali, he just looked so forlorn

Hmmm, 4-0 down! Come On Cope! I want to see more than 2 frame!!! :snooker:

[Mr P]

Jamie dominating this match, is 4-0 up and looking good for 5-0.

Are you on about at the worlds? I saw the first session of that match and he really did! He looked as though he needed a big hug!!

4-0 well I certainly wasn't expecting that!!!

[cuemaxx]

It smells like 6-0.

yeah... that's the one, I saw him at the hotel afterwards... decided it wasn't the time to ask for an autograph!

I think Cope's putting too much pressure on himself because he's expected to win Now his back's against the wall hopefully he'll come up with something :snooker:

ohhh Jamie! The green!!!

[hitandhope]

Oh eurosport... Please just don't commentate... it's REALLY not worth it

Poor Jamie, that green probably will haunt him for a while!

[matoski]

I watched the entire match so far, and i can tell you, Jamie Burnett is on fire!
I hope Cope will put up some fight because it will be a long day at work without snooker

[rich45]

Shocking performance by the Shotgun...he does seem like a confidence player, prone to collapse a la Michael Holt. I cant see him winning tournaments unless he gets his head right. A shame because he is great to watch when he is in full flow.

[matoski]

Burnett is on a matchwinning break here. A witewash is now very possible with the reds spread up this nicely.

[ltfc39]

No idea what's going on here, it's like he's trying to lose 6-0! He's missing easy balls by an absolute mile, even my shocking breakbuilding could beat Jamie here!

Although Burnett is not missing a shot at the moment!

[very.tee]

why does Jamie Cope insist on hitting the self destruct button!

I've only seen two frames but all credit to Burnett for pulling out some amazing pots
