It's better then at Telford though, when people don't buy tickets and ignore the snooker being on.

I'm supposed to be working, and I'm the only one posting. I got the live scores coming in over the Eurosport website.

just got back from a dental appointment but im here now

Ding Junhui got away with that frame now its 9-1.

and Hawkins 1-0 up hoping to win his first match in his 6th Crucible appearance.

Not going to get carried away with Ding's win here, it was similarly easy against Pettman last year but he suffered from being so untested in R2 against Murphy. This time he's got a much easier second-round match and will definitely be favourite but will be entering unchartered territory.

this is a nothing match for him ..

Burnett has had plenty of chances a Higgins or a selby would take them.

It'd be nice to see Burnett take the 11th frame. Seems pointless putting on a waistcoat and bow-tie if you're only going to be out there for an hour.

what a reason to win a frame

Ding definitly needs to improve to be a contender Williams looks superb yesterday but things can change

on debut Hawkins won 1 frame against Doherty hes already won 2 today Mags 0-2 Hawkins

theres a all time list of bad kicks now

Dennis

its easy to see why ding is a great breakbuilder he sees some intelligent ways to split the pack open

Maguire never has filled me with confidence as a player. Promises a lot but never delivers and unless he bucks his ideas up he could be facing an early exit as he trails 2-0 against Barry Hawkins.

Dennis making some poor calls today.

Ding is closing this out now

Ding 10-2 Burnet

Never in danger

Hawkins taking these balls really well to be fair, if Maguire is just making one mistake a frame you can see Barry making frame winners more often than not.

great snooker

So, Burnett took another frame? He must've used my waistcoat idea as motivation.

if they let people in with drink it would make a massive difference.

from standing around the bookies and bar area i always notice that during the morning and early afternoon most people are in watching snooker and im on my todd almost but then late afternoon more people start to want to hit the drink so mingle around the bar / bookies and by around 9pm onwards theres almost more out than in the snooker.

dont see what harm there is in letting people in with drink so long as there only supping away and being sensible

Has Maguire settled into the match yet?

as i said to the others at the weekend who agreed with me the Crucible trip for me is about this

25% of the attraction is watching the snooker in the arena
25% of the attraction is mingling around the bar and bookies area of the Crucible
25% of the attraction is kicking about Tudor Square drinking, soaking up the sun, perving, watching the big screen etc
25% of the attraction is the night out

Good on the BBC for putting Maguire/Hawkins on 301

british people sensible with drink ....

as if that will ever happen

Maguire could be out of this match by the end of their first session if he doesn't cut out silly errors and leaving Hawkins in amongst the balls. Fair play to Barry as he is punishing the Scot for his poor play.

TBH Witz i dont know whats the obsession with drink anyway you can drink anywhere 365 days a year and you making fuss about drinking in the crucible

does crucible drink taste different
