UK Championship first round discussion

[very.tee]

Higgins-Swail match has finished. Does anyone know who'll be on the televised tables tonight?

[very.tee]

Now I know, they're giving us
Ding vs Davis and Murphy vs Gould?!

I wanted to see Ali

Dearie me Shaun.

Not sure whether the shoes or the grey/white waistcoat/trousers are worse.

[PaulTheSoave]

Lets see if Davis does the 2 cushion break off next frame. If he does, I am off watching the American Football instead on NASN!!

[PaulTheSoave]

No he did not. Steve must be in an attacking mood tonight!

[gby4]

Davis playing OK, and having some flukes too, although they don't help much.

[gby4]

He is on attacking mood, taking on long pots.

[JiangYu]

Good Point. So why does Martin Gould wear glasses when he's playing if he looks above them - Short/Long sighted?

[spike]

It's all square with Davis & Ding.

I should have thought so.
In situations like this, I try to remember that deciding which matches to televise on the basis of the ranking system is in the long run probably the fairest way. However, lots of times it favours less interesting duels.

Davis on ES.. colour me surprised. Oh well.

Doesn't the fact that Shaun is wearing a bookmakers logo contradict his religion?

Or has he given that in too?

Pleased for Mark Williams today and good to see Joe Swail back on form too.

Just wished Psycho Ebo would pull his finger out and hurry up!

[spike]

Davis is 2-1 up on Ding, but Ding is in but has just broken down on a break of 41.

[João]

Davis is up for a shock it seems.

[gby4]

Great snookers from Ding, yet even better escapes from Davis . 3-1 to Steve!
