I don't know exactly who chooses the tv matches but it's fair to say of the 4 remaining matches this is the one I have absolutely no interest in whatsoever.

Expected them to choose that one, Ding has just been on and the other two don't appeal to your casual snooker fan.

How long before there is a stream for each table in these PTC's do you reckon?

Ding being on before wouldn't stop them normally. These are the people who, if given the opportunity, would just show Higgins, Selby and Trump matches. Not that I'd complain about that.

COME ON ANTS !! Joke tv table choice. The crowds are no better than last 2 days but cos theres less matches in main hall more people are watching the tv table which will make you tv viewers think theres far more people here today.

Kendo clearly stuggling out there. Not making it remotely difficult for Joyce atm.

Ding looking lethal. Ants didnt get a look in in 1st 3 and a half frames, totally frozen out but coming back well.

Kendo suddenly upped a gear. First frame won in one visit to go 3-2 up.

What a mad decider that was. Destiny Ants would win that match i think tho TT played a few wild attempts. Got to think Higginson a banker to beat Ants now, a very draining match that was to watch let alone play in.
Drago mustnt have a house to go home to, hes still hanging about the venue haha

That Witz explains to you why Drago got the wildcard. He's always showing an interest and watching the other players and he's a great character to have around. He would have been missed a lot by the other players if he hadn't played on tour this year.

This is the sort of event Higginson thrives in, unlike finding himself 4-0 up in a best of 9 in Berlin against a high profile player.

Ding first player into the final. Ants and Higginson still have a way to go though, so it might start late.

Weird. Showing some of the UK final as highlights, looks like it's the frame when Selby made that great 98 break.

Well, I've put Eurosport on and they are showing the UK Championship final.
What match are we waiting to start?

The final. Starts 8:45 or maybe slightly later as the winner of the second semi, which is still on, will need 15 minutes.

Ants needs snookers now. Shame, it would've been nice to have a Scot in the final, especially a young up and coming player like Ants.

What happened with Ding and Ken-Do? I wouldn't have minded seeing that.
Bloody Decemeber. Always stuff to do.

Scrappy opening frames, Ding missed an easy yellow to 2-1 up but then went up a gear and looked like there was going to be only one winner after that.

I don't recall Ding and Doherty ever playing before. I assume they have, and I've forgotten about it. They must have played at some point.
