its as if Davis has lost his love for playing the game since he got involved in the politics of the sport with Hearn.

He really ought to have retired this summer, if not after last years WC if he knew he was going to miss so many events or not practice for others.

yes he has not got the love anymore although Jimmy fell to the brink he still loves it.

It's a shame that the 2010 World Championship wasn't Steve's last tournament, in a way.

And they won't smell good.

sam craige looks chavvy.

Jack Lisowski going well 2-0 up over ford

I'm pleased to see Yu Delu doing well. He has beaten some very good players in wildcard matches before, but with the roles now reversed, I always thought he would struggle in the qualifiers at first. It's good to see him starting with three wins.

It will be very tough for him to qualify though, with Ryan Day as his final opponent.

Will he win though? Think Trumps going to Ibiza tomorrow so he wont want to miss that

baptism of fire for Sam Creigie and to hold fergal this long tells me he has patience and he competed with him

Wednesday 29th of June

2.30pm

Tom Ford 5-3 Jack Lisowski
Michael Holt 5-1 Kurt Maflin
Fergal O'Brien 5-1 Sam Craigie
Anthony Hamilton scratched Tian Pengfei w/o

Scott Mackenzie is Making the most of his second chance he is 4-1 up on Tony Drago on the verge of a last 48 spot against Ken Doherty.

His Best Result was the 2006 China Open last 16.

Should we add Tony Drago to the Steve Davis should-retire list?

Aside from the Drago game, would sure love to see this evenings games, looks like they're all very competitive.

hes only been back on tour 2 seasons.

he had a great 1st season and last year his form tailed off towards the end of the season and has continued thus far in 2010-11.

One "big" name i feel we will see slip off tour this season is Alan McManus, hes been in serious decline for some years and laterlly seems to have somehow continually clung onto top 48 status similar to the way he used to always be in the top 16 despite doing little of note.

Id advise Angles to call it a day and focus on his commentating career.

I fear you're right, though it's a shame. I always liked Angles. Be good to see him have a decent run in a ranker before retiring to Eurosport Commentary. But, like you, I don't see it happening.

Cmon Gilbert, even though i hate you, do the honourable thing and eliminate the Bulldog

I think it could be Swail's last season too unfortunately.

to be honest i wont be sorry to see the back of Swail.

Nor would i be sorry to see the tour ridded of the following........

Ian McCulloch
Adrian Gunnell
Andy Hicks
Peter Lines
Nigel Bond
Jamie Burnett
Dave Harold
Barry Pinches
Mike Dunn
Rob Milkins
Anthony Hamilton
Feargal O'Brien
Gerard Greene
Rory McLeod
Tom Ford
Marcus Campbell

All boring grinders and has beens who should be wiped off the face of the tour to make way for the young guns.

So obvious Gilbert would bottle this decider

Couch what a joke
