World Championship 2012 1st Round Discussion

[peterpackage]

Anyone else thinks Dennis Taylor commentates slightly on the Doom and Gloom side of things ?

He is always looking for problems for the players

[peterpackage]

Jones has the cue as far to the left of his chin as i've ever seen

Good player though, like the lad

what a miss from jones

looked for all the money to be in the next round but misses a sitter

pure pressure

[breakman16]

He just wants people to know when players arent in position A, it enhances the knowledge of the audience, if most of the time commentators were saying "he's fine no problem at all" then people like me wouldn't know straight away (as I don't play to any level other than knock around) if a player was minutely out of position or had the wrong angle, it's THE way to commentate, it makes people think yeah he's got the right angle, BUT it's not 100% what he wanted, it emphasises the minute nature of the pro game and makes people appreciate the skill more I think!

Jones does a Sam Baird there. Such a shame.

yeah, Murphy is not the player to let off the hook either, by any means necessary Murphy is still well in the match now!!

[spike]

Jones may live to regret that miss. Here's hoping for a deciding frame.

I've gotta laugh out loud at the only guy cheering on Ebdon is some 100 year old OAP

wow ronnie played two stunning snookers

got the one he needed, played two stunning pots left handed espc the pink

i underestimated his tactical skills but he can be good as john higgins if he wants

[montoya10]

Ebdon played quite poor and out of his character today. It could have been an a lot closer match if he took his chances

[Odrl]

I just switched over the see Ebdon throw away another frame. He really is poor today. Good snooker from O'Sullivan, but he should never have had the chance.

[nrage]

Cmon JJ! I like Murphy but I picked Jamie Jones for my fantasy snooker "team" so I'm hoping he can pull this off..

yeah he can, well near as dammit as good as Higgins, which really is all you need to be, he's perfectly capable of competing and winning tactical battles and playing great safety as we've just seen, a real bonus frame for him! When people say one of best of all time with Ronnie it's on merit, he can be great in all areas, his brain is SOOO quick too!

[Masterdoctorgenius]

jamie has to take this one

come on jamie

[montoya10]

Ebdon now pulls one back with a 90 break. He needs some magical snooker tomorrow.
