Q School 2012

[LittleMissAlexa]

well done Chen Zhe, Martin O'Donnell, Sam Baird and Ian Burns for qualifying for the tour

[LittleMissAlexa]

and a special mention to ian burns for saving snooker from the plod

[Rane]

Sam Baird should have received the 2nd wild car anyway.

Great that he qualified so strongly!

+1. Great to see Baird back.

Q School 2012

Agreed. Gradz to Sam!

Great to see Sam Baird back on tour. His run in (I think it was the) Welsh Open earlier in the year showed his potential. Wouldn;t be suprised to see him creep up the rankings quickly over the next 18 months

Just goes to show how hard this game is now...

yep gilbert hit 24 tons last season not bad for a player who has never been in the top 40 hes a cracking player

McGill is arguably a future top 16 player

[CueInAction]

Agreed with that, Lisowski is another name you can add to that list. Michael White too. Saying that, they're all still young players who haven't hit their prime yet (excluding Gilbert) so there's still time for them to make it yet

[LittleMissAlexa]

gilberts not a pensioner look at stuart bingham he didnt make the top sixteen until his mid 30s gilberts roughly the same age as jamie cope

[LittleMissAlexa]

tony knowles lost 4-0 to gary wilson maybe he will retire after the 3rd event

[Neil Taperell]

Thought he already had

[LittleMissAlexa]

not if hes playing at q school

[Neil Taperell]

Or just making up the numbers . Not sure how he thinks he can complete at the highest level again

[trains]

2 straight events Robbie Williams v David Gray in round 1,if they're having an order of merit they should have reshuffled this as they're both in the stronger group of players.
