Bingo having a nightmare season as defending World Champ much like Dott had in 2006/2007.
And I can't see that changing to be honest, doubt he'll win a title this season with only this and 2 left. He won't break Crucible Curse, it's inevitable I'm afraid.

He isn't in the PTC finals, so just the China open before worlds.

Yes, and we all know he won't be winning the last one, so just this and China left, and this one isn't going his way so far.

You always do, but this tournament doesn't deserve them to be honest.
Only ITV has made this more important than it really is.

He hasn't qualified for the China open yet either with his match being held over.

Remember that time Robbo was 4-0 up over Selby and lost?

Lost 6 in a row. Remember it quite well. Bingo hasn't got Selby's comeback powers though.

Good point made earlier by Foulds, most Best of 9 tournaments now are in China.
They used to be the norm back in the day, now it's Hearn's favourite Best of 7s.

Yes time flies I know.
I remember it well, both hadn't been in a high profile match since then, and after that both started meeting each other at the business end of tournaments quite often.

I watched The Flash this morning. It was the one where they went The Reverse Flash home to save Cisco. (Most recent televised episode in the UK.)

I am still on Season One of Arrow.
I got the box set in October, watched about eight episodes but then haven't caught up.

I thought that might happen.
Edit: Bing needs the interval.

Well if Bingo loses this frame in the same manner he lost previous one... no way back for him.

3-1 then.
This could still be a long afternoon if it gets close, and Perry too is known to choke at important times.
We'll see how it pans out...

Good god it's like someone said "Let's get the 4 dullest characters in Snooker, and stick them in a ranking semi-final".
Predicting a Perry/Murphy final, not that I could give a squirt of p*ss who wins.

I'm watching the England rugby at 4pm.
They might've potted a ball by then.
