another contest screwed up

my first glance inside a predictions contest thread for some time and some things never change

And it's not a predictions contest thread, so that's why I viewed it

Just laughing at the banter Paddy and not how you run them before you take offence


Anyway, owt interesting happen in the World Open today?

Depends on what you consider interesting. Walden beat Ebdon with Mags's cue and clothes as his didn't make it to Haikou in time for the match. And 15 year old Lu Haotian beat an experienced tour pro again, this time Simon Bedford. Everything else was fairly standard.

Lu Haotian winning again and now plays Selby.

he has proven himself under Wild Card matches scenario of being good enough to beat "experienced" and "Higher Ranked Players" so taking in mind hes on the Pro tour next year he really could thrive with a 128 flat system.

He's one to watch but he won't beat Selby. Famous last words of course. And Walden played and won with Maguire's cue? That's the story of the day if it's true! His cue must be about the same weight and shape surely.

But he's under almost no pressure as a wildcard. He has nothing to lose in terms of ranking points or prize money. Also he might not thrive if he's stuck in a Sheffield cubicle.

Fingers crossed though.

Not a cue expert, but it was a different wood apparently, and I don't think he played with any side during the whole match. Luckily his cue turned up at the end of the match, as I doubt Maguire would be so generous again, especially as Walden will play Mags in the last 16 if Mags beats Campbell.

Yep,i glance at it rarely too,but when i glance at it,the first thing that i always seem to notice is that that dumpling SMART is always at the bottom half of the table!.

Just watched a few hours of it I taped off of ITV 4.

What a win for Milkins. The Milkman.

Also, I caught Neal Fould's banter about McManus using Maguire's cue. Good performance from Angles, using an unfamilar cue.

No, dammit I mean McManus. I have an inside scoop nobody else knows about.

Just me being simple again, I fast forwarded through a lot of the analysis to maximise my snooker viewing, and just mistyped the name.

Wild WC wrote:Bloody hell snookerfan.

It's my new thing. I watch a blank screen for 3 hours, then I guess what happened.

Talking about analysis, in a somewhat round about way, what have people made of the cycling woman and Neal Foulds analysis combo? It probably doesn't show, but I didn't watch much of them two.

Wild WC wrote:Apparently Ricky Walden beat Peter Ebdon 5-2 with Stephen Maguires Cue.

Ricky's Cue did not make the Journey on the same Flight

So, is there any news on this? Has Walden been reunited with his cue yet?

Well,Alan and Ricky look similar anyway,so,you can be excused for mistyping.

drury is the weak link of ITV team
