Welsh Open 2009 - quarter-final discussion!

[rivercard]

I don't know how Selby messed up that clearence after the tough yellow, but well done Hamilton! I still think Selbys tactic backfired at him this time, he broke his own fluency, and it should have been obvious that slow play will not hurt Hamilton at all.

Can't wait for tomorrow. The return of Welsh Godfather Darren Morgan in the studio and commentary box

ES stops the coverage!

Demolished! That´s what Anthony will be tomorrow.

[hegeland]

Jan Verhaas just said the match will start in about 5 mins.

Not surprised, they have shown a lot of snooker today and they do have obligations to other sports.

Of all the tournaments on the snooker calendar the Welsh Open is the only one that uses 1 table for the quarter final stage. I went about 8 years ago and we didn't leave until 11.30pm. Sitting through matches that start at 10am is just crazy really but as we'd paid our money and the best match was on last we had no choice really.

I totally agree with your point that they need to consider the viewers and audience more, after all without them they wouldn't have a game.

There´s no reason to consider the audience. There has been ridiculous few to this tournament, nearly as bad as in Bahrain.

I'm watching BBC Wales interview with Anthony at the moment. I shall report back whether they play or not.

And as you can see I am aiming my rant on the players not ES.

[JiangYu]

Yes - They're Showing It! The BBC have decided to air it apparently but on Sky TV, it's scheduled to end at 10:30. Hopefully, they won't interupt the broadcast but for those who can stream it on BBC, watch that instead!

[hegeland]

Of course they are playing. Jan Verhaas has just put up the balls, the cameramen are ready.

BBC will be showing both semi-finals and final on interactive

[Odrl]

You're Hamilton's mother aren't you?

Yeah. Come on, this was a great match, up there with Higgins-Robertson. The only downside is that I think Hamilton will struggle against Carter, and I don't want Carter ruining the final.
