BTW, the broadcaster, here BBC, has a big say in which matches are shown on television. I suppose they consider Davis and Jimmy to be bigger crowd pullers than Mark Allen, and I think they are right in that.


they may as well all it premier league mark 2 if its moreabout crowd pullers than rankings as for years white was in it

Yes, when it is on television it's about getting audience because that's what sponsors are interested in, not ranking points. Ever heard about economics? Get real.

I never said they don't matter, but they are certainly not the sponsors top priority.

Ideally 2 Tables should have been in operation so that all 64 players in the 3rd round played however that wasn't done Mark as did we all know the score for donkeys so no use crying over spilt milk he was 2-0 up in a best of 5 for Christ sakes.

He was 2-0 up frame-ball against Fu in the CL final as well, maybe a mental problem there ?

He was 12-10 up vs Dotty, and had first visit in the final frame - choked red to corner (regulation pot)........Allen has a choking streak. :redneck:

He was 2-0 and Fu needed a snooker of the final pink to which he got. Not much Allen could do about it :sad:
