Meh, that lucky snooker behind the yellow was the coup de grace, I'll be back tonight

Great start for Dechawat Poomjaeng

[Odrl]

higgins is in seriouse dead line

all his titles he won in the past two years were a struggle, not one convincing one. in all of the them he came from behind rather than dominating them. he isnt the same player anymore

Well, he's only won one in the last two years, so I guess you could say he came from behind in all of them. :wink:

He's definitely not at his best though. He's playing like Hendry of the last few years, a good patch here and there, but not strong enough to win him matches when you put it all together. I've switched to the other table where Poomjaeng has made a great start. It looks like it could be high quality. :smile:

[DeanH]

yep, Dechawat has made a fantastic start but as we have seen in the past, Stephen has the ability to make a come back. Interesting match.

I thought maguire is known for choking rather than for making a comeback

[willtyson]

Quite like Dechawat so wouldn't mind seeing him do well, but I wouldn't count on a 2 frame lead at this stage to have the round.

could be true of choking at the winning line in the past but I am sure have seen him coming from behind a few times

So just got home from work, starting my snooker day with a big delay Take a wild guess which match I will be focusing on right away? Yes you're right...Ebdon vs Dott...I know the scoreline already from where 'rain stopped play'...but I hear it's been a very good hard fought battle, plus commentary from duo Foulds & Hendon...this must be my lucky day. Bring out the swords boys and let's get fighting

I love Neal Foulds' commentary. Can't believe the BBC let him and Clive go and yet retain the services of Thorne and Taylor.

That's why Eurosport is the snooker fan 1st choice Who cares about beeb :P

[cyberheater]

Poor Poomjaeng for jumping the pink. He was pretty close to stealing that frame.

[Odrl]

Well played to Mark Davis. It will be interesting to see how this quarter plays out now... Mark Davis and Stuart Bingham are both strong players of this season, and we have two interesting seeds as well - O'Sullivan and Carter. I would say O'Sullivan has an excellent chance to reach the semi-finals now.

As for Higgins, a bit of bad luck at the wrong times combined with mediocre form, to end a pretty underwhelming season. It will be interesting to see if he comes back stronger next season, like he has done a couple of times in the past. :smile:

Has this been confirmed, or is Foulds simply freelancing? I did wonder when I heard him on Eurosport the other day, whether he's officially been dropped by the Beeb. Yet another ridiculous decision if so!

:biggrin-new: Poomjaeng applauding his own shot! That's the best thing I've seen all week!

Not going to lie, but I'd only seen Poomjaeng play twice before today; but after this performance he seems like an absolute legend! Could watch him all day.
