UK Championship first round discussion

Dearie me Shaun.

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

Unpopular thing to do, but I confess to liking the attire.
(Midsession during the Ding vs. Davis match, so I finally got the chance to see it whole).

I like combination of black and grey in general and though all black wear suits some players, I prefer diversity.
The problem with the trousers isn´t the colour nor the pattern, but the ill-fitting cut. Or wrong material choice. One of that. Overall, nice change.

Of course, everyone has different fashion sense.

[mushka]

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.

Gosh, it has struck me just now. Ding is behind Carter officially!

So we know whom to thank for that.

The trousers look massive for him. Plus he isn't wearing his wedding ring.

He has been lucky to get Gould as most of the other qualifiers would be winning this 4-1, 3-2 at least.

But Ding and Davis are both former winners and thus duly deserve to be on the main table.

Heh good spot.

And yeah I freely admit to having zero fashion sense, I just think that the grey makes him look like a school pupil

You will have to excuse me if I am not fondly remembering Davis´winning times.

It reminds me of Swail's terrible grey suit he wore for the early part of the 2001 World Championships. They looked like pyjamas.

At least Murphy is wearing a black shirt though.

[PaulTheSoave]

What a joke of a frame. Ding leading 70, Davis pulled 3 snookers out of the bag, handed by Ding and then Steve missed an easy pink looking to nick the frame.

[mushka]

@ Matt

I didn´t mean to say you don´t have any fashion sense. Just that yours might be different from mine.

[spike]

Yeah there was no excuse for Davis missing that pink.

[Rane]

Yes it´s only three years since Ding won it, and was expected to be the new rising star. He certainly has declined.

And 2005 finalists.

[spike]

Ding is looking good when he's in and making the most of his chances when he gets them.

[Rane]

Great break from Ding with only pink available the most of the break.

[miscuehamburg]

Ding obviously had the better mid session. Hope Stevo can make it 4-4 at least?!
