Possibly the lowest standard frame of Snooker ever televised.


Taylor looked physically great for a 79-year old.

I can give him a pass due to his age, even when he completely missed the red he was going for with ball in hand, but that guy he was playing was awful.

Alfie Lee looked a legit prospect (I only watched his first match last night) with a bit of seasoning, although Fouldsy's eulogizing over him was getting a bit tiresome.

Got Lee vs Townsend on from earlier this week.

Patsy Fagan
Nigel Bond
Eden Sharav
Jamie Curtis-Barrett

All in Monday's group

Re: The 900

Massive fluke on the red for Ryan Davies got him back into the frame but Aiden Owens has held on and into the week's final.

A couple of silly errors yesterday, but even more convinced that within a few years Alfie Lee will be on the tour and a top 64 (if not higher) player.

What a top man, the Silver Fox. World Amateur Champion in 1968 - then turned pro. UK finalist in ‘78, beat Reardon to reach the Crucible semi in ‘80 and reached No.7 in the world. Looking great for 79.

JCB wins today's final.

Patsy Fagan and Eden Sharav play again tomorrow.

Thought Ali Carter was pretty good on commentary, certainly much better than Billy Castle who never shuts up and who seems to think that you can't have silence for even a few seconds.

Carter was good in comms on a frame at the shootout a few years back I seem to recall

Just put this on and Patsy Fagan playing Eden Sharav, seemingly in the Semi Final

Re: The 900

Postby Minimum Break

Patsy knocks the black straight in playing a safety and gives away ball in hand.

Re: The 900

Postby Minimum Break

Sharav only made 9 from ball in hand.

He was 2 points in front with more than 5 minutes left and tried to park the bus.

Patsy snookered him and he missed the pack off 2 cushions.

Re: The 900

Postby Minimum Break

Patsy wins but that was only a first round game.

Still, he'll be back tomorrow for sure

No idea what Sharav was playing at with the scores so close and so long remaining. Playing some ultra negative stuff.

Patsy Fagan (almost) won the week.

Philip Williams has just pipped him right at the end of today's final.

Re: The 900

Are we sure it was the real Patsy Fagan?

Or just somebody Dennis Taylor has identified as Patsy Fagan? :chin:
