Good luck to the Guy but its not whats best for the sport.
As usual, you talk complete marmite.
how would a 50 year old hasbeen playing at 20% his very best beating young up and coming players be good for the sport?
its not the antiques roadshow
Jimmy is the most popular snooker player the game has ever seen. He has always put bums on seats and if he makes it to the Crucible, fans will flock in.
Yes definately
it would create a HUGE BUZZ around the tourney.. unlike someone like Guodong who I'm not saying isn't good, but obviously woulnd't create that buzz Jimmy would. And just imagine if Jimmy qualifies he draws Ronnie first round.. No one could deny what a cracking match that would be. So I'm all for Jimmy to qualify, though like I said earlier Milkins is the real deal for him. Although he still has a match to win against Guodong, and the chinese player can very well recover, so Jimmy can't afford to relax.

but nostalgia has no place in taking this sport forward.
players flock to the crucible to watch jimmy after seeing him cockerel up simple shots they would probably never go there again.
if jimmy plays well and get there then fair play but against Pengfei he made 4 break over 40 and Today 3 Break over 40.
its just rubbish poor.

one match I would absolutely love to watch is if Drago qualifies and then somehow drew Ronnie first round... similar to their match at the Crucible back in 1996 2nd round. Tony so far going very well and leads GIlbert 5-4, though for Tony too things don't get any easier and if he wins it, he'll face Fu in the last, a tall order for him, but not impossible of course.

By the way, when is the random draw made? Is it on Monday after the qualifiers finish like last season?

Yes, Drago against O'Sullivan would be a fun match to watch.
Though Drago against anyone is usually entertaining. Fingers crossed, he wins tonight.

I'll be honest, I really don't want Drago to qualify as that means no Marco Fu, who could do some damage this year, depending on his draw.

Fu been good this season, top 10 on the one year list and hasn't lost in the qualifiers since Wuxi, and he's better than a few of the top 16.

First frame of the evening won by Steve. 5 all.
If it follows the same pattern as in the morning, we could be in for a late one.

Exactly!
I've got nothing against the Chinese players out there but few of them have Jimmy's flair and attacking brilliance.
few of them have his size gut or a wig either

My sources (aka Matt from PSB's twitter) tell me Jack's lost from 7-3 up against Davis, so he has history.
Hope it doesn't happen though.
