WC 2010 - R1 discussion

thats more like it from Davis, 3-3

[Looki]

He's playing quite well atm. Nice to see that.

[ore]

So 3-3 and a cool oppening red. Maybe bonoman is right about that cueing? :snooker:

I wonder how Steve Davis manages to win his qualifying matches??? His breakbuilding is so poor.

[The Boss]

King is probably frustrated because he cannot watch his beloved West Ham play tonight. He should be well ahead in this match. King will be back to his Royal best in tomorrow's session

[cue1]

Indeed, it was a great effort. But he was very unlucky to end up like that in the first place after that great opening red.

Anyway, well played MARK!! Most probably Ronnie in the next round, should be a good match.

Absolutely, he was very unlucky but the shot was well thought out & he came sooo close to potting it!

Gotta love how Dennis Taylor circumvents the tightness of the match by saying Williams was a 'comfortable winner in the end'.
Anything for a convenient one liner eh Denny boy?

I was thinking the exact same thing! The score doesn't reflect how close the match was.

[matoski]

We should reinvent a new word for grinding after this match.

[Rane]

The old boxer got a technical knock-out from the referee. That was very exact respotted.

[ore]

Yeah this is something to check one's sitting on the ass endurance...

But Davis is kinda cool, isn't he, untill he misses something?

[FerruleFox]

It's pretty crazy Davis was able to qualify this year. It's obvious from his loose cue ball and missed pots that he doesn't really practice much anymore.

[FerruleFox]

I meant that as a compliment to his natural ability btw.

[superaussie]

good luck robbo

hard luck marco

[Rane]

Entertaining last frame, and 5 - 4 to King leaves everything open.

[The Boss]

That wasn't vintage King tonight. He'll play better tomorrow

[murdock]

Not vintage Davis either. Hopefully he'll play better today!
