Seriously get your facts straight.

What about Dott?

Yeah, cant believe eurosport kept us waiting all that time showing some highlights from higgins match, and then ending their transmission... watching it on fromsport skullman, I bet you have been watching it there also

Hmmmm - true, looking again at Higgins draw it's actually pretty good. People talk about how poor Higgins has played - but that is only by his own high standards. Apart from one tournament, Maguire hasn't done a whole lot and Dott, like Higgins has had a few results but nothing to write home about. Despite how poorly Higgins has played this season, he is in the correct section of the draw.

Weird how the top quarter, with the defending champion is weakest. Toughest in my opinion is bottom quarter with Selby/Allen/Ding/Stevens, and then the second quarter with Trump/Murphy/Lee.

The crowd's not very enthusiastic are they?

Yes, I'm feeling slightly the same way after seeing the Robbo debacle earlier.

Plus, this place isn't as good when Snookerfan isn't around to terrorise.

Graeme seems to be potting okay seeing as he had some work done to the cue last week. It's a good match so far. Did not see the first frame and had to log into Bet365 to watch and be forced to listen to idiot Yates ramble on forever.

No, eurosport shedule for tomorrow is great, not sure about the weekend, but I think they wont do the same as they often do by not showing the semis or final live.. The weekend has plenty of hours reserved for snooker, so we shoulndt have to worry too much about going on fromsport..

Perry misses on 36, when it looked like a good chance for him to go 3-1 up. Graeme should be able to punish him and level.

Anyone else think that it's strange that it's best of 7 throughout? At least make the semis best of 9 and the final best of 11.

Dott makes a mistake as well though and lets Perry back in.

I feel the same too.. dave hendon on his blog also said that the final should be, at least, best of 11, to give it more recognision and not to be over so quickly, like last year, when shaun won 4 nil, match lasted barely an hour and a half..

Nothing like a scrap on the colours

And Dott wins it. 2-2 now.

This match has a decider written all over it, and honestly dont know who´s gonna win

robbo

hard luck jack

Just realised that Ronnie doesn't have an afternoon match tommorrow, while Judd does. Signs Ronnie is being replaced as the main draw in events?

I guess the format is how it's been throughout the PTCs so I can see why they've kept it best of 7s

Yeah but the PTC are basically qualifying events for this, so the matches here should be longer. although this doesn't feel like the PTC final. Some of the EPTCs had a better atmosphere than this.

I would rather watch a standard PTC to be fair.

True, and for a ranking event, the arena should be bigger, or at least house more people, because there hardly fit 200 people in there, very low number for a ranking tournament

Sonny wrote:Good win for Jamie Jones from 3-1 down against Higgins. Not many have done that.

Sonny Too true,Well done Jamie jones,Didnt see,Very busy,Shame i missed it.

The problem with the best of 7 and the lack of big ranking points for the winner is that this tournament doesn't really feel like a ranker. Also the arena isn't that great.

The arena is far too small, so even with a full house, there wont be that many people watching as I said above

ohhh God, I HAVE to turn the sound off, I can't stand Yates.
