Congrats to the Parrott, he's still got it!

[April madness]

Congrats to the Parrott, he's still got it!

let's see if he's still got it when he plays against Cope

[hegeland]

Aye, I suspect he will deliberately lose to give room for the new generation, he's already proved he can still win .

[snookersfun]

Is nobody keeping an eye on this?

5-2 Ricky Walden - Barry Pinches
2-5 Andrew Norman - Tony Drago
5-1 Michael Judge - Supoj Saenla
5-4 David Gilbert - Rod Lawler
3-5 Jamie Burnett - Liang Wenbo
5-2 David Gray - Jamie O'Neill
3-5 James Wattana - Mike Dunn
4-5 Robert Milkins - David Roe

[Goldspark]

Ha, looks like it might be Liang against Bond again.

[rivercard]

Well done again for Tony Drago, another good win. Should be a good match tomorrow against Joe Swail, shame it's not in the televised stage.

yeah he beat Steve Davis at he WC - if this is still a major reference of course

[footygirl]

Oooh careful Wim

[SteUK2006]

Parrott and Cope have played twice, and Cope won both 5-0 and 5-1(China Open 2006 Qualifiers and Masters Qualifiers 2006)

It was that bit-sorry if I've taken it the wrong way-had a rotten day at work

[archicrooks]

and another defeat for Wattana- another sad decline for a once great player !!!

I am watching scores online now:
so here it goes: looking good for Parrott, McManus and Domenic

1-3 Jamie Cope vs John Parrott MBE
0-4 Gerard Greene vs Scott MacKenzie
0-3 Stuart Bingham vs Alan McManus
3-1 Joe Perry vs Stuart Pettman
2-0 Dave Harold vs Joe Jogia
1-2 Barry S Hawkins vs Fergal O'Brien
1-0 Anthony Hamilton vs Adrian Gunnell
4-0 Dominic Dale vs Rory McLeod

[rivercard]

Dale just won against McLeod 5-0 while Hamilton and Gunnel are still locked at 1-1..

1-3 Anthony Hamilton vs Adrian Gunnell
5-0 Dominic Dale vs Rory McLeod

In my opinion the players who have already played a match would have to go in favourites because of this. I am not surprised by Parrott's scoreline and I hope he gets through although a Cope verses Higgins first round match is simply mouth watering.
