Unreal - he played well, but plenty have played better.

By the way I think Cao played the best snooker over the 2 sessions so far ...

Some of Snooker Island's top posters have gone missing:

Bourne - not coming up back because he's upset
Smart - at the Crucible?
SnookerFan - at the Crucible?
Sonny - at the Crucible
GJ - upset Robbo lost his first ranking final
Witz78 - upset about something
Tubberlad - missing

Dominic must be kicking himself he needed to be at least 6-3 up and ready to fight a comeback. Judd's health will improve before the next session so I dont fancy Dom's chances now at all.

yeah, now that doms 5-4 down, judds likely to pull away in the next especially if he's feeling better. shades of the wonderbairn in 94 with his injury that he sustained

Tuesday 24th of April


2.30pm

Graeme Dott v Joe Perry
Ronnie O'Sullivan 7-2 Peter Ebdon to a finish

7pm

Stephen Lee 4-5 Andrew Higginson to a finish
Mark Selby v Barry Hawkins

What was Ebdon on about then?

peter sees this as a gettable challange

Come on Peter

8-2 Ronnie

That's the difference between the two players: Ronnie needs 1 chance to win a frame, Peter 3 or even more.

a challange or not you got to still play well very negative there and it cost him.

Absolute crap from Dott so far

yes pretty routine pots miss that what happens when you practice with snooker island mods

Ebdon was 2-8 down last time they played at The Crucible, and won, so why not again?!!

Some of the safeties Ronnie has played so far

Incredibly high standard in the Dott v Perry match

you are very welcome to place a 1000 pound bet on Peter - you will be a millionaire should Ebdon win this match

well that table needs one of these

This is up there with the worst I have ever seen Dott play

Didn't O'Sullivan cut his hair mid match against Ebdon last time?

Be in the championship by a mile. This would have made a great final. It is a shame they had to meet in the first round.

He shaved it between smashing Carter in the 2nd round and playing Ebdon in the quarters.

8-3. Will we see a midsession interval?

I don't like to attack a fellow Vegan, but Ebdon deserves the a kicking for this effort.

O'Sullivan isn't even in 2nd gear.

If I gave Dott more than 3 frames in the prediction contest then I made a grave error.

he sure did, and looked what happened to ronnie then.

maybe if the first round changed to a best of 25 lol

I am not sure who is playing worse, Ebdon or Dott?

It is a good job they weren't playing each other in the first round again!

Come on Graeme!

Time to pull your finger out and get focussed

Right, Ebdon needs to clear his mind, and come out and make 7 centuries in a row.

Believe in it!!!
