BetVictor Welsh Open Last 128 Discussion !!

Allen dodged a bullet there I see... and sometimes players need this wake up calls and wouldn't surprise me too much if he now went on to have a great run at this event.

Meanwhile... CMON DOM

Dale wins the decider.

Will have Poomjaeng next, two characters no doubt

Peter Ebdon 0-4 Li Hang


I just read a summary of this match from our brand new Snooker Island poster "rocketronnie147",.......


,......viewtopic.php?f=486&t=5131



I did,nt even see 1 min of this match,but even so there were numerous odd bouts of play on Ebdons behalf,there,s no way that this was due to him match fixing,i mean come on,surely no one could be that stupid to risk doing it,especially after what happened to Stephen Lee and the amount of times "match fixing" was talked about during that period and after that incident happened.





Mark Allen 4-3 Sydney Wilson.


Talk bout havin a close shave,Allen was 3-0 behind but comes back to win 4-3,an absolute sickener for Wilson!.






Ken Doherty 4-0 James Cahill.


Uncle Hendry might not be pals with Ken anymore after this result!.






John Higgins 4-0 Tony Drago



Higgins wastin no time sendin Tony packing.

Christ on a motorbike I had both Allen and Dale in an accie, but only saw Allen's score at 3-0 assumed the worst now Dale giving me a scare time to rest.

Although too I didn't watch that Ebdon match, I agree with hendry-fan.. surely no one would be that stupid to risk doing something like that, I can only think Ebdon was very poor because he sometimes tends to put in performances almost to club level you feel.

I might watch a bit of it now though to see how it went, it's already on youtube, russian commentary but who cares...

Top match. I'd love to see Dale have a decent run in this tournament.

Reminds me from a years ago Ronnie in an interview talking about when he went behind early on thought people might accuse him of 'doing a peter ebdon'.

Wasn't there suspicions around Ebdons match with Liang Wenbo a few years back in the NI Trophy? Unaware of betting patterns didn't the ref report Ebdon for not trying his best to win the match? This was at a time when Ebdon was on the WPBSA board. The match wasn't televised so little evidence other than the referees drawings of odd shot choices.

Plus the then current board had previous of trying to sweep things like that under the rug and hope no one noticed.

The authorities should really have taken action over this atrocity from Ebdons career

No they shouldn't because he really can be a clown at times

Skull how has Selby been playing so far?

Started to watch now, currently 2 nil up.

Best way to describe it is solid. Made a good fluent break in the first and then some mistakes started creeping in, but nothing serious.

Helped a little bit by Swail's mistakes

Very one sided matches so far.

Steve Needs this next frame, can't see him recover from 3 nil down.

Dominic Dale is perving up Michaels Tabb on Twitter.

Maybe she'll find it refreshing change of pace from when you do it?

Early evening for Selby and Gould, both through 4-0.

Could be an evening of whitewashes. The other 2 matches with a chance to end 4 nil too.

Higgins v Doherty in the next round huh.. interesting match, and remember Doherty did beat here last year in their opening match best of 7 too, and the way both Doherty and Higgins are going atm wouldn't surprise me to see a similar result.

Just one match left and it could also end 4 nil.

I hope it doesn't though and Steve manages to win.

Could be a good match. Both were in good form in their last 128 matches and their China Open qualifiers.

3-0 Noppon.

Davis whitewash still on...

Yeah no way back for him now I feel.

Hasn't been playing well lately and I'm afraid he'll drop of the tour when the season finishes. A lot of that too has to do with his decision to go for that stupid jungle.

I wonder if he knew and this is his last season.
