China Open Qualifying Discussion !!

From 2-0, Scott goes 2-3 down...

Scott goes even further behind, while Adi whitewashes Bedford. yay for him at least.

McManus v Drago last time they met we all know what happened.. Drago went nuts, slapping his head multiple times and conceding the match prematurly, only to regret it soon afterwards...

let's see what happens this time around.. he'll concede the match when 4-1 behind... wonder where that also happened

Good win for Thanawat Tirapongpaiboon,"Thai-Namite"!.


He hasn,t half hit some form has he,where as Brecel,"Belgian Bullet" has taken his foot of the accelerator!.

SOS starting to find his feet now too

this time Drago wins the decider against McManus with a 50+ break

Any idea what'll happen to Cao and Poomjaeng if this goes to a decider? Will they pulled off or will they delay the next TV match?

The best way to describe is really by showing you the video of what really happened.

yeah and its ironic Witz that he now has to play Bond... at least Drago redeemed himself in this match against McManus.

EDIT: and this match against McManus wasnt a ptc one, it was instead in the German Masters qualifiers Witz.

Cao needs snookers now in the decider... Gone off the boil recently.

Thanks a lot for that Andre147,i watch,read,hear about a lot of snooker but i never knew bout this crazy incident!.



What makes this frame even more crazy,is that Alans well known for getting out of snookers,he aint called "Angles" McManus for nothin but in this frame he misses gettin out of 2 snookers which are fairly easy!.



I thought i,d seen it all but that was really bizarre behaviour from Drago.




It was a careless miss on the pink from him,mind you it was a careless brown that Alan missed as well,in saying that he was obviously put off by Dragos behaviour!.





Drago got revenge today though.



I hate to think what he would,ve done today had he lost to McManus again.

Yes hendry_fan, I too think that Drago's behaviour definately put Alan off and he missed that very easy brown to yellow pocket and those escapes from snookers.

What's even more bizarre is that right after Drago shook Alan's hand prematurly, as there were still points on the table for him to win but it was an easy shot for Alan, Drago regreted soon after, but at least had the decency to say that it was not fair as he already had shaken Alan's hand, and Alan duly accepted the concession.

And then Drago goes off to slap his j«head multiple times in frustration. At least he reddemed himself today and won in yet another decider against McManus.

Absolutely!.

Todays loss will be tough to take for Alan,thats the 2nd decider he,s lost in a row,he was 3-1 up against Jack Lisowski and ended up losing 4-3 in last weeks Munich Open (Betfair ET 6) !!!.
