World Champ. 2009 -1st round discussion!

[bobbond]

Dennis is loving his new flashing circles and green lights

[Nugget]

Someone needs to give Williams a slap!

And how can he have gone a full day and not bothered to make sure his tip was alright?

I'm never betting on snooker again...

[Alex0paul]

Hawkins looks a dead cert for 8-8

Someone needs to give Williams a slap!

...

Kick his butt would be better... He's been playing ridiculous this evening & no flukes would help when you play like this

[Alex0paul]

Hendry 9-7 up. Should close out the match the way Williams has played.

[Hendry the 8th]

Remember that Hendry was 4-1 up yesterday and lost the next four. It's not impossible for Williams to win three in a row

[Alex0paul]

Dott goes 9-8 up.

Please win the next one Graeme, my heart couldn't take a decider.

Not the way he's playing now, gifting Stephen every easy opportunity.

[Alex0paul]

Almost forgot about the King/Mcleod match afterwards. Lucky King only needs one more else they could've been there for a while.

[Mal]

Dott goes 9-8 up.

Please win the next one Graeme, my heart couldn't take a decider.

I may well be speaking too soon, but with that nice red to the middle and the reds split your heart may have to be strong!

[Alex0paul]

Hawkins just about keeps position. Should be 9-9. Argh

[Alex0paul]

Hawkins misses!

Come on Graeme!

[Plank of Wood]

Well Hendry is through.

[Mal]

Chance for Graeme Dott!

Well played Stephen. improved towards the end, not good overall, but I think he'll be much better now

[khizzy]

what a match stephen.

as dennis said drama at the crucible.
