Hard to predict which ones will do well and which ones wouldn't. a few upsets which could happen but wouldn't be especially surprising if they did happen.

I too would like to see a televised debate between Dott & Barry Hearn!

& Steadman's 32!?! I assumed he was 20-odd. Where's he been???

Don't give them the viewcount. If they can't make money out of that type of article they stop making them.

Lots of snooker fans post links to tripe like that published at this time of year to get angry at it, then rant and give them publicity. Less the better.

So, let's move on from World Snooker proving once again that they are about as useful as a condom at a lesbian orgy.

What do we think is the tie of the first round? Williams vs Stevens?

Yeah some good ones there. I'd fancy Davis to beat Ding, especially in Sheffield.

So, to confirm, the matches that I have tickets to are;

Mark Selby v Kurt Maflin
Stephen Maguire v Anthony McGill
Barry Hawkins v Matthew Selt
Neil Robertson v Jamies Jones

Not necessarily the most marquee group of qualifiers ever, but not a bunch of mugs either. Might be a couple of good games there.

Besides, such is the atmosphere of The Crucible, I could be watching Skullman vs Wild playing, and it would be amazing.

"Now we're going over to Davis and Hendry, as they prat about pretending to be in the matrix, whilst discussing cue ball control and consistency...."

Course, they won't. It happened on the same day as the World Snooker Annual Golf Day. We all know which one the commentators care more about... <laugh>
