I think they can finish before the next one starts, they can even afford a slower frame of say 20 minutes, almost 5-2 to Williams now.

I haven't decided which match to watch tonight.

I find Mark Allen to be one of the biggest pin ends on the circuit, almost to the point where he puts me off watching him. But Ding played so poorly yesterday, I'm not sure I can suffer through another Ding match so soon.

Maybe I'll let Eurosport decide which match to watch.

Twenty minutes is a fast frame for Rory. It takes him ten minutes just to break off.

Judd didn't play that badly. Apart from when it ran scrappy in frame 5.

Or is Xiao playing well? Not seen any of Xiao yet, despite the excellent television coverage.

The break off shot is a shot to be well thought through

Rory McLeod 3-5 Mark Williams
Rod Lawler 1-6 John Higgins
Judd Trump 6-0 Dechawat Poomjaeng
Stuart Bingham 6-2 Jimmy White
Sports Hall
Andrew Higginson 4-6 Li Hang
Jamie Burnett 6-5 Chris Wakelin
Liu Chuang 5-6 Robert Milkins
Chris Norbury 0-6 Anthony McGill

And Rory pulls one back. 3-5

Williams has to win this one otherwise there won't be time left until the next session starts.

Do you think they will pull them off?

Maybe not as their match is on a non TV table, but you never know. If it was up to me I'd let them continue until they're finished because as I said it's not a TV table.

I think Angles and Holt went on past 7:30 yesterday, so they won't be pulled off.

I find you to be one of the fattest turds on the forum.

Looks like Williams is about to kill this match off

Rory can still win this frame though.

McManus and Holt played to a finish yesterday, that was the reason for White and Campbell finishing late, they'd had to wait for them to finish, to be fair to McManus and Holt they'd had to wait for Dott to finish.

And the let Hawkins and Zhang run into the next session. I think pull-offs are unlikely. Although they might drop the next match on first evening finisher if McLeod gets his way in the match.

Now it's all over though for Rory. Mark Williams progresses to the next round.

Rory now needs a snooker.

Rory needs four snookers, so only another ten minutes to go.

All over now as SO said, glad that match didn't drag for much longer.

Williams v Walden in the next round should be an interesting one.

What are the telly choices tonight?

Williams will play Walden in the last 32, I would like Mark to have a good run here again.

Allen vs Harold and Wattana vs Ding

snooker loopy wrote:What are the telly choices tonight?

Ding v Wattana and Allen v Harold.

I'll stick with Ding's match, keeping an eye on the other one.

I'll start with Allen, I missed his CoC match against Carter and it's about time I watch him play again.

Sunday 1st of December

NB 1pm

Rory McLeod 3-6 Mark Williams
Rod Lawler 1-6 John Higgins
Judd Trump 6-0 Dechawat Poomjaeng
Stuart Bingham 6-2 Jimmy White
Sports Hall
Andrew Higginson 4-6 Li Hang
Jamie Burnett 6-5 Chris Wakelin
Liu Chuang 5-6 Robert Milkins
Chris Norbury 0-6 Anthony McGill

NB 7pm

James Wattana v Ding Junhui TV
Mark Allen v Dave Harold TV
Joe Perry v Daniel Wells
John Astley v Stuart Carrington

What was Wattana like in the first round?

Also I've just noticed Robbo and Ronnie's matches are afternoon and even, when will TV companies stop dictating match schedules?

Why should they stop dictating? The TV companies are the paying customers and they'll always show what most of their viewers want to watch.

Ronnie is tomorrow at 7 p.m, not afternoon. Robbo don't exactly know, but Wild will tell you.
