UK Champ. 2009 - 1st Round Discussion!

Looks like Carter will prevail, he's just started to play a bit at the business end of the match.

Rory Mcleod always reminds me of this

What's that. Lionel Richie out and about?

So let's see Rory fight for the decider...

I think the way this match has gone it's inevitable that it will go to a decider..

Stephen Lee will be sitting pretty at the moment hoping this goes on for a while yet.

It ruins the event as a lot of quality matches barely get shown early on so the casual viewer will have missed Selby's comeback and Higgins/Robertson.

This match is starting to send me to sleep before the cricket starts which is annoying.

I think it's rather fascinating.

I think it's rather fascinating.

Usually I would too but Carter frustrates me so much with all his huffing and puffing. Its like watching Mark King.

[miscuehamburg]

Great fight, Ali. Pity it didn't get to a decider though. This match would have deserved it

[Odrl]

There you go, not a midnight finish after all. Well, not in Telford anyway, it's 0:55 here.

Some of the pots both players got in that last frame were first class. Well done to Carter, but it's going to be an even tougher match against Lee.

Peter Lines eh who'd have guessed?

Interesting Murphy to regain revenge over Ding for beating him in the Masters hopefully.

A well earned victory for Carter, though you do wonder how much that match will have taken out of him.

Mcleod is finally starting to show now after such a long time in his career a great deal of consistency and a matchplayer who is going to be a handful for anyone these days..

Wikipedia says that Carter made a century against McLeod today. If that is true, I think that is his first century since the Welsh Open.

He made a break of 102 in his match with Mcleod..

Interestingly, in the last frames it was McLeod who lost patience...

I rather think it was one of his better chances to win something - it might appear hard to get such a chance again, to draw against another top16 guy not exactly on his day.
