WC 2010 - R1 discussion

[cue1]

From Sport has both tables

Mark & Ali won their first frame of the session :snooker:

[cue1]

After the first 2 frames, it looked like Mark could wrap it up before the MSI but Ken just won the 12th frame. 8-4 Selbs

Come On Mark!!!

On the other table, Jamie got his first frame on the board... 2-1 Ali :snooker:

Come On Ali!!! :snooker:

[cue1]

Lol, Mark potted the last black with the butt of the cue

He leads 9-4 @ the MSI...

[Masterdoctorgenius]

harzel said that marco was runner up four years ago

Lol

[Masterdoctorgenius]

and that laing met ronnie in the 2nd round last year

she is preety good at talking but has no true knowledge about the game

[BikiniKill]

Did you hear Michaela ask what the commentators were saying when she was trying to work out whether there had been a foul on the green or not? Never heard a ref ask that before!

Even with the slowed down replay, I (and the commentators) couldn't make out if the brown had been hit before the green, so I guess she made the right decision.

[cue1]

Phew!!! Tense 4th frame between Ali & Jamie but Ali just potted frame ball blue & it's 3-1 Ali @ the MSI

Come On Ali!!! :snooker:

And if Mark keeps his head together here, it should be 10-4

Come on Mark!!!

Edit: Mark on a maximum

Edit2: Grrrrrr, I jinxed him but he wrapped up the match 10-4

Yes, it was definitely at least simultaneous, if not the brown first.

[Elaine]

nice win for Mark quite convincing
shame though he didn't get a max, that would be something special to end the match like that

Ali Carter,so boring to watch....Jeesus

Cope loses his head playing against that child Ali Carter.

Shelby was brilliant and can go long way.

[Mr P]

This is shocking snooker from Cope, about to got 7-1 down...

[Odrl]

A great clearance for Carter. So this match looks like it's not going to go close at all. And Cope will now probably finish 17th in the rankings.

[Mr P]

Looking like 8-1. Cope will just want to play the next 2 frames and get it over with!

Well if he plays like this, let it be...
Who will be 16th then? Have Ebdon's chances increased?

[goldengirl]

Feel so sorry for Copie - or any player that fails to show their best!!
So glad to hear Steve Davis talk about "rolling" rankings - great idea - much more interesting and exciting! But could have situation where top players are out of the final stages of second event!! But it will depend on starting points.No doubt Top 16 will still be well protected.
