UK Championship 2012 - 1st round discussion

2-2 Pat game on! That was a steal that last frame. Luca seems settled now after that dodgy start...

Sounds like great timing for Eurosport2 to kick in around 10 minutes time so I can enjoy the remainder of this match...awesome prospect!

the tables really look lightening fast - after a few shots the red balls are scattered in the open. maybe its just me but seems to be less need for power shots from blue or black into the pack with the tables this fast?

I've just realized, the BBC production team seem to have cured themselves of their addiction to replays, I don't think there was a single one in that last frame, halleluiah! They probably just sold the necessary kit to save a few quid. Meanwhile, Ricky takes the lead, ay southpaw.

Am I the only one watching MJW-King match?

MJW was subpar through the first four frames, but I missed the first two post-interval frames.
Things looking bad.

Haha i think Luca will be on his way home soon, his long pot success is like mine , think the occasions got to him...

Yes looks like it. I feel he is a bit rough around the edges still. Too quick on his shots, taking liberties at times. Bit like a certain Mr Trump ( sjeez I sound like Hazel ). They're still so young though, will take a bit of time to get better all-round. If this still applies to the younger generation...I don't know. Hope it does.

Edit : still pulled one back though to 3-4

He's only getting in when Ricky leaves him in the balls, i seen him a couple of times this year and his long potting was faultless, i'm enjoying it anyway whether or not my sweep pick get's sent home! Here's hoping for a final frame...

[daffie]

Right! 4 each...anybody's game now.

C'mon Luca ! Good fightback . . .

[Rane]

Great sportsmanship from Brecel to call that fault nobody saw. And that in a very crucial situation.

[mythman69]

"to call that fault nobody saw" . . . what happened? I am only watching the scores update on World Snooker.

[daffie]

Rather low quality match, very lackluster and without any real tension to enjoy. Hoping for a better day tomorrow...

I don't know.. I kinda like it this way I find it boring at times seeing them pros finishing frames in one visit

Oh don't get me wrong...I'm the first person you'll find preferring the slower more tactical matches over quick-fire big break ones. But this match lacks something to me. However it has started to get more enjoyable the last 10 minutes or so. Hopefully we'll get a final frame decider...that could get exciting.
