Welsh Open match discussion

[vao]

"because Ronnie was annoyed with what Jan Verhaas said to him, when he conceeded a frame he could still win"...do u think ronnie worried about being investigated of match-fixing?

[dannyd0g]

i missed that....did he say ranker?

no - he didnt specify that.

[missneworleans]

Well done Ken and Stephen, at least through!

[Peter147]

Oops, I didn't realise there was a separate thread about the interview. I should have looked first!

do u think ronnie worried about being investigated of match-fixing?

Ronnie didn't take part in the Malta Cup so he has nothing to worry about.

At the top of the bbc2w show just now, Oliver whats-his-name said that Michael Holt has never made it past the last 32 in a tournament !

This must be more bad bbc research ? Surely he beat Ronnie in round 1 in malta a couple of years ago, and must have had other last 16 appearances at least ?

Well he's been to the quarters on three occasions - 1999 UK Champ, 2003 LG Cup and 2005 Grand Prix.

Thanks Hegeland. That sounds more like it.

ding 5 - 4 campbell

Ding showed great maturity in this match, and a superb 65 break at the end.

Murphy and McCulloch's match is two hours late. Could be a late night if the match gets a bit scrappy and defensive.

.

agree with that hege. he dug deep when the match wasnt going his way and marcus was playing well

his win completes a treble bet i put on at the bookmakers today (the first snooker bet win out the last 4), so at least he won me money, though as it wasnt a big bet id have liked to see a fellow Scot go through.

[Ekphantos]

Just came home and according to the live ticker Murphy and McCulloch are in their first frame
Couldn't the have some matches in the morning to avoid these late starts?

[Alex0paul]

What a Win! Mark Williams wins 5-4 after trailing Fu 4-2

[toupihiggins]

Well done Mark!!!!happy to see that he can win again..what a comeback

[Alex0paul]

I hope Ian wins tonight (or tomorrow at this rate) just to hear Murphy's excuses

[Alex0paul]

Is there any live streaming for the McCulloch match?

In the 2005 Embassy World Championship he entered the last 16.
