BBC's playing up...3 3 audio 1????

Yeah that was a bit annoying from the beeb. Well, Carter strong favourite now, but a glimmer of hope for Gerard - good start tomorrow and put Ali under pressure and see how he copes with it.

Lol did you hear that 3 3 audio 1 too mal?? Weird. Well done Greene nice little comeback. If he can take tomorrows first mid-session 3-1 (To trail 6-7) I think he can do it.

Yeah i wandered what the hell was going on there! Good to see Gerard win that last frame - still in with a chance of upsetting Carter and Kathrin. haha

Why is the King/Mcleod and/or Allen/Gould matches not on BBC interactive anyone know???

[tai pichit]

how poor is hendry nowadays? i'm a huge fan but i find it hard to watch him now. in his prime he would have won that session 7-2 or 8-1,
i've posted on this forum before saying he should retire but no one agreed.
he's become hesitant, deliberate & basically a shadow of his former self.
i'm in the process of copying hundreds of his matches from vhs to dvd & the difference from the 90's & now is massive. his cue ball control is nowhere near what it used to be & his safety play today was not even top 64 standard. it's so disappointing to see the greatest player to play the game struggle so badly.

True. Nice revisit of past crucible years on BBC interactive atm.

Looking at some of those clips of Steve Davis can you get him to grow his back too!

Ronnie looked really good in close quarters but as it's been mentioned many times in commentary and the stats clearly show it's his long game that needs to improve.
Good win for O Sullivan none the less....and Stuart played well i thought.

Ronnie played pretty good imo. He had a potting percentage of 95 %, he made 10 50+ breaks, 3 century breaks and one of them was a 140 total clearance. Can you ask for more ? Of course peoples expectations are pretty high when it comes to Ronnie. Ahhhh...and he almost made a 147.
His long potting is a problem but it can not get any worse than that.
