Welsh Open 2009 - Discussion

[Mc2G]

She's in no way a bad ref, It's just that when she makes an error It's magnified more so because she is a woman i feel.

Yes I agree with you. I've heard from numerous people, that she was accepted as a ref, only because of her looks

[attilahun]

I wouldn't say she's a bad ref... Just over estimated!!!

I think that is the right word...over estimated.... Ok, she can ref matches in tournaments, but not finals, at least for the moment, considering the mistakes shes made. I really dont think Brendan Moore is below M. Tabb and hes not getting matches in later stages.....

[The Boss]

I hope they show Mark King's match with Dave Harold. Will the Butcher's slow tactics stifle the Royal Boss? Will King keep his cool? Possibly the two biggest hard men in the game at the moment. My money's on King to knock him out in the 9th. Common sense they have to show it

I disagree. It's magnified because she was 'fast-tracked'. She was of course fast-tracked because she was a woman, but if there is any kind of discrimination here it is a positive one. After someone is fast-tracked like Tabb was, it is normal that the expectations are higher, she has to deal with that.

well lets agree to disagree then.

[João]

Which match is going to be broadcasted by Eurosport? Stevens vs. Ding I suppose?

I hope we don't disagree about the fast-tracking, because that is a well-known fact, otherwise I agree.

No i dont disagree with you about the fast-tracking at all!

[adamxx]

I hope they're airing the Ronnie match at one on bbc?

[Mc2G]

No, they will broadcast Higgins vs. Dale

[Lily]

No, they will broadcast Higgins vs. Dale

ahh good, i had a feeling they might

[very.tee]

Not sure if anyone's mentioned this but in the second round Anthony Hamilton will play Michael Judge
In the quaters, if Mark Selby looses, which I hope won't be the case, we'll have an all-qualifiers quater final on our hands.
My guess though is that Mark Selby's draw has got very easy (on paper anyway.)

[superaussie]
