UK Championship second round discussion

5 - 3 for Dott.

[Miss_S]

If Dott comes out of this 5-3 it would be incredible after some of the balls he has missed.

Well, it is 5-3 to Dott now...

Williams has missed a few himself though. I think the two of them are tired. Starting a match so late maybe taking toll on both though I am delighted that Graeme has taken the two frame lead.

suspicious, suspicious that they show Maguire on a TV table

Ali made his first (and last) 147 against Ebdon...what´s coming today

Ali made his first (and last) 147 against Ebdon...what´s coming today

And they're playing each other in the masters this year too.
I'm expecting great things Ali!

[Kathrin]

Such a shame today´s one won´t be televised

[Rane]

It should be a two table format from second round.

[April madness]

It should be a two table format from second round.

I guess it is 2 tables starting from quarterfinal round, there are 4 second round matches each session played.

[spike]

i hope the Higgins v Junhui match doesn't disappoint, as on paper this has the potential of being a great match if both players play at the top of there form. Hopefully playing each other will bring the best out of them both.

The live scoring doesnt work!

[Kathrin]

Carter- Ebdon 1-0
allen-Murphy 1-0
other matches 0-0

[very.tee]

It's 1-1 in the Carter match now, but still planty of time
I'm watching Robertson-Maguire
Neil's looking good but managed to snooker himself on remaining 2 reds

[scoo24]

Ding working on a max, just potted the 15th black & perfectly on the yellow :snooker:

EDIT: He's done it Wonderful break, congrats Ding
