I don't know either. Ask MDG he mentioned it.

Basically like big break, 15 reds with black you get 5 questions and can take a red off for everyone right, fastest time to clear wins, selby leads with 1min 14s

Holt, the form player of the tournament so far. I need a lie down.

It's a feature thing they do during the mid-session intervals. Basically, they lay out a number of balls on a table and see how fast players can clear them up. Before that though, they get asked questions about their own career and the more they get right the more balls they are able to take off the table meaning an easier clearance. Kind of like Big Break from years gone by.

They have a leaderboard of everyone that's taken part so far. Selby currently leads it.

It's this years nonsense, just like previous years when they had feature like Pub Quiz, Potless etc.

New cloth always helps the ball in it is true. But Dott said these pockets are huge, the biggest he's ever seen in Sheff. I trust Dott, he knows his stuff. I've hit shots like Wilson hit last night and I've hit them absolutely plumb and they won't drop on a 3.25" pocketed table. On those tables with a generous undercut at 3.5" the balls are dropping. The same happens at a different club I go to and we've measured the pockets at 3.5". You'd be amazed at how just a quarter of an inch can change the game. WS also use a generous undercut, this is the eliptical shape the rubbers are cut. Make no mistake, WS fitters are very experienced; this is no accident.

fu starting to fire now

which is how you manifest anything! Assume it's happening already and it will envelope around you.

Fu invokes narcoleptic episodes in me, I want the smiths fans and all round good guy McGill to win.

Fu has the aura of a turtle

What the buck does that even mean?

They had the template for the pocket the other day and parrot said they where 3.25, so I dunno what to believe

Have they mentioned Functional Snooker?

Outside The Crucible, there was a big sign explaining the rules to Functional Snooker. But, at no point, was anybody playing it. Nor was there any kind of table set up, giving anybody the opportunity to play the game.

just like wenbos (missed double on) green mcgills missed red with the spider could be the turning point

BLOB from Holt

let's have a whip round and buy mark williams a razor, he's a scruffy git.

is fu ever happy?

They did a Snooker Mastermind thing a few years back;

Was that the time, Dennis Taylor did it, but they had a "humerous" clip of him running round, stalking Michaela Tabb first?

I don't mind Fu.

Interviews I've seen of fu he comes across as a nice guy, but his table demeanour makes him seem quite dour

fu has the match under control now

Lot can change in a long match.

MJW closes to 4-2 barring snookers.

Holt's played well but has been flattered a bit by MJW being very poor.

You allowed to clean the cushions??

The template eh? Hmmm, not sure, the template doesn't cut the rubber, it's a bloke with a stanley.

open table and MJW cant make a frame winning break

MJW closes to 4-3.
