World Championship (Sun 22nd of April) Round 1 Disscusion !

Gould not finished just yet, 9-7.

Gould just loves being the underdog - from 9-5 down he started playing well.

Luca with a nice century 6-2, but he needs the last one to have a slim chance in this match.

The reason ive been missing is sonny was on my laptop screen and it just crashed

Gilbert wins 10-8, Brecel wins the last frame of the session to make it 6-3 to Maguire

Stuart Bingham 1-8 Stephen Hendryto finish
Neil Robertson 7-2 Ken Dohertyto finish

Luca looks like a star of the future to me, it's great that a player on the continent looks like being so good, it could really galvanize european snooker. Once he'd adjusted to the conditions he was lovely to watch. Obviously a bit raw round the edges but only to be expected from somebody that is still virtually a child. I think he'll be a world champion in the future.

A real possibility

So what match are people watching then?

Tempted to support Supermurph, but also want to see how Cao copes with Allen.

nice shoes is there now watching Murphy.... lucky man he is

Cao highlight reel

Right Griffiths is commentating on Cao vs Allen. Supermurph on the stream then.

I'm pretty sure Pistols aren't allowed in the UK

Come on Jamie teach Smurphy a snooker lesson

Jones misses the yellow. Giving Murphy a chance here, which he doesn't take...

No I do. That's why I'm listening to his match and having Supermurph on the stream on mute.

That's a wise choice.

Flukes!

Cao only makes 33

Cao is so nervous today. Missing easy shots when he was knocking all sorts of good shots yesterday.

time for mark to respond than

Allen misses.

Hopefully Cao can take this frame and settle down.

6-4 Cao

PS I think JV needs to learn how to pronounce his name.

Pockets are very generous this year aren't they?
