I actually think that would fire Perry up even more to beat him.

Robbie's best hope would be against someone like Fu, Walden, or even MJW who has been struggling of late.

What happened at the UK? Is Perry the one who ranted about Robbie's playing style?

Personally I'd love to see O'Sullivan draw Ebdon.

Now that would be somethin.

And it,d be really somethin if Peter would spank Ronnies bottom and send him packin.


So there,s gonna be 5 Scots at the crucible this time,thats not bad at all.

If he does draw him, he will be the one who gets spanked like in 2012.

This isn't 2005 anymore, Ebdon long ago doesn't get in Ronnie's head plus he doesnt have the scoring power to stop Ronnie.

Well as you fully know yourself dear Andre,it all comes down tho the day,The Ebdonator just might get to Rons head again,alone the presence of The Ebdonator will scare,in fact terrify him+ Ebdon might serve up tough matchplay,bring his full mental ability which will cause Ronnie to lose his patience and crack like a egg does when it gets dropped on the floor + he might have his pottin boots on and serve up all the other fantastic skills he has as well,it,ll then be bye bye Ronnie.






Judgement day will have returned and The Ebdonator will terminate The Rocket and send him deeeeeeeeeeep into dispair and outer space.

Was the record for the number of top 16 seeds falling at the first hurdle, 11?

Fu, Maguire and White for me

Bingham - Crucible curse and all that. And he's been a bit dodgy lately.
Marco Fu - you've never know which one'll turn up
Perry - a 16-24 player masquerading as a Top 16er
Gould - never seems to quite reach the levels he used to promise.
M. White - his safety play is utter marmite

I think they are the 5 most likely to lose in the first round to anybody.
On the flip side the 5 most threatening qualifiers seeds could draw

Ding - obviously
Carter - obviously
Ebdon - let's be honest nobody likes playing Ebdon, and it's ugly but he gets results
Lliang Wenbo - could easily be in the Top 16 if he'd had a few slightly better runs
Wilson - he's been steadily improving for ages

Ebdonator; never heard of this animal. Is it related to one of these?

Holt one away from booking his place.

I think White could blow up if he doesn't get things going his way, re the Welsh Open; up his own chuff and believes the hype from prats like Morgan.

Perry is a class match player and terrific bloke; leave him alone. One of the few pros who will answer a twitter question and retweet fans' stuff. He predicted that Ronnie will win the Worlds by the way.

I think the longer format will help white to relax and play good snooker.

Fantastic green from Holt to keep this break alive, just can't find perfect position.

Great chance now.

He's the one yes.

King needs a snooker otherwise Holt is through.

Well, if Holt bottles this, what can we say...

King needed two snookers and has already taken one, let's see what will happen.

I once saw King win a frame needing 4 snookers, Welsh Open think it was.

King's got the snookers.

Second foul by Holt and the frame is still alive!

Holt gets away with it, played a terrible safety left everything on but King couldn't get position on the blue and left it over the pocket.

So with that we now know everyone who will be at the crucible!

All over

Holt is pure fodder

Not anymore, Holt wins.

King missed a fairly easy blue, Holt potted it and then pink to win.

King must be kicking himself! Missed a tricky but pottable blue and gifted the deciding frame to Holt, who is the 32nd player of 2016 WSC!

Over long format yes no doubt, he will get crushed if he meets any of the top contenders.

Probably already been asked but... what time is the draw tomorrow? Cheers

Ebdon hasn't won a Crucible match since 2008. He had five straight first round exits before missing the last two.

snookerlover wrote:Who holds the record for most consecutive appearances and can anyone beat it this year?

Stephen Hendry played at the Crucible for 27 consecutive seasons - he was ever-present throughout his career. Steve Davis has played at the Crucible 30 times! (but not in consecutive seasons)
