World Series - A grande final in Portugal!

[Stunrunthru]

The tables look awful. Very dead cushions and funny shaped pockets.

I met Steve Davis at an exhibition shortly after a world series event and he said the tables were 'bloody awful'

ERR curious question... why didn't ronnie o sullivan participate in this event?

ERR curious question... why didn't ronnie o sullivan participate in this event?

Hendy? Carter? Perry? Fu? Allen? Ebdon? and others?
Because this is the "Final" tournament of an invitational series and they were never involved from the start.

That woman ref is a joke, I don't know how she has qualified to be a ref. She's made a couple of glaring mistakes in the two matches I've seen. Just check the above when Higgins flukes the black, she calls foul Steve Davis 7 but she gets away with it because I don't think anyone was taking any notice!

[hegeland]

Yeah, I noticed that. She's very poor indeed! I think just like Michaela Tabb she was chosen because of her sex and looks, but with the exception that Tabb actually knew her job!

[crucible77]

i had to laugh in one of the matches when she was putting the cue ball back after a miss, and she put it behind the brown so the player had to tell her it was behind the yellow

[rivercard]

She also called a foul and a miss when a player already needed snookers, and she wanted to award the frame to Ruberg when Brecel went in-off the black, even though it was Ruberg who needed the black to tie the framescores. So yes, a very poor referee, hopefully she will not make it on the MT until she actually learns something about refereeing.

[spike]

she sounds the business....NOT!

Meanwhile, in Portugal there is a high quality affair between Graeme Dott and Shaun Murphy which is locked at 4-4. some hefty breaks on both sides.

Cmon murphy

[Alex0paul]

Live scoring says best of 9 but Global Snooker say best of 11. Which is correct?

[GryZnook]

Best of 11 should be the Final only, according to the Running Order page on the official website.

[snooky147]

I may be wrong but that was a 60+ break in every frame I think. Murphy has won if it's best of 9.

[GryZnook]

Well done to Murphy then, because I think I saw Dott 4-2 up at one point on that live scoring page (but couldn't follow it closely).

We could have a repeat of the WC final, tonight

[darrus]

Yes, Dott was 4-2 up and was playing ok too, but Murphy rescued this match - like yesterday with Selby, where he also was behind at some point.

Another gogod quality match is on now, Higgins-Maguire.
