Goood morning, Hegeland!

Am I too silly for this, or are they all showing Stephen Lee v Marco Fu?

And no Carter, no Maguire. Dang

Edit after Hegeland's 2nd post: They are showing table tennis, it seems.

[snookersfun]

Better than British Eurosport – their coverage this mornigng has just started and they've got Dale-Liu on from yesterday!

[hegeland]

Seems as if Stephen has found his bow-tie now.

No surprise any match with Tony is the quickest usually.

[Maija]

Absolutely unrelated to what's going on right now: I though Yang Qingtian had a very curious technique on delivering his cue. It seemed like it went everywhere on delivering the shot. Everywhere but straight through, that is. (Or maybe that was a sign of me being tired *g*)

Higgins v Cope at 2-0 now. Cope on the table with 34 to John's 1. Nice and slow, lads, leave some match for Eurosport to show!

[hegeland]

Funny, Johan Oomen takes up the yellow ball and then goes to Fu, "you have given up the frame, haven't you?"

John Higgins 2-1 Jamie Cope
Stephen Lee 1-1 Marco Fu
Peter Ebdon 0-1 Dave Harold slowest match today?
Ryan Day 2-1 Tony Drago

[Maija]

Peter Ebdon 0-1 Dave Harold slowest match today?

Just about as huge as shock as the Drago match being fast.

: I thought Yang Qingtian had a very curious technique on delivering his cue. It seemed like it went everywhere on delivering the shot. Everywhere but straight through, that is.

quite often a very long bridge. (when no "real" reason to use)

perhaps adding to the fault you seen of occasional non straight delivery

[Semih_Sayginer]

Higgins takes a 3-1 lead against Cope

(the table doesnt seem as "slow" as it did yesterday.....)

[April madness]

Ryan Day 3-1 Tony Drago
Peter Ebdon 1-1 Dave Harold
Stephen Lee 2-1 Marco Fu

[Semih_Sayginer]

Stephen Lee 2-1 Marco Fu

and looks likely to be 3-1 very soon

[hegeland]

Sensational long massé from Cope to pot red, shot of the championship so far. Pity he missed the next red, almost a sitter.

COME ON TONY!!

[Semih_Sayginer]

4-1 to Higgi

Cope doesnt seem to have settled at all, and has missed a few "easy-ish" shots thats cost him

Not slow at all..already 4-1 to John.

What is slow is this forum.. it took ages to load a page

Great shot! But, well - he does seem to go for everything.

@Semih: cheers, I got so mesmerised by the cue wobbling, only caught the effect, then, it seems!
