Ding vs Stevens has been pretty interesting so far. Nice to see Stevens playing carefully.

Re Michaela Tabb

Firstly she's not a bad referee- but she's not ready for the world final yet. I would expect her to get a semi final with Jan Verhaas getting the final
I don't think any ref has got the world final without doing the UK Open final first.

I would expect her to get the Welsh Open final this week though

I can understand what it must be like for Michaela knowing that any mistake will get magnified. We are all human, men make mistakes as well but it tends not to attract as much attention.

My job is football commentary- and there are some men with the station I work for who detest the idea of a woman commentator- for the simple reason of my gender.

Michaela- stay with it- and carry on doing what you do

Dominic Dale is playing well and holding Higgins 2-2 at the mid session interval. Come on Matthew Stevens (My lucky dip

[spike]

Nice to see Dale holding his own against Higgins. I know It's early but I've got the feeling that it could go to a decider

Yes just what I was thinking spike. Dale is surpassing all MY expectations and im very pleased for him just hope we see a bit more quality from him.

I think the Marco Fu match has reracked for the second time.

The end is nigh for the spaceman I fear. 2-4 down to Higgins.
