Isn't Cahill actually related to Hendry not sure if blood related though so looks might just be a coincidence.

He is the fruit of Hendry's loins.

Yep, he's Uncle Stephen. His sister's lad, I believe.

Great session from Robbo with moments of brilliance. 1-3 for Lines.

Lines 4-3 up

Jamie Curtis-Barrett has come from 0-4 to 3-4 against Joe Perry

Decider alert between Thepchaiya un Nooh & Liam Highfield

And Angles back on against Michael Wild, and has just forced the decider here too...

What a bottler this Wild bloke is. Abit like his namesake on here.

Lines one frame away!

Excellent stuff from Robertson and Lines extends his lead to 3-5.

In other news, Liam Highfield took the decider against Thepchaiya un Nooh

Only a bottlejob will save Robertson now as he seems incapable of raising his game.

5-3 to Lines

It'll be intriguing to find out who (if any) was the last defending champion to exit the competition prior to the TV stages.

Should Lines win of course

Matthew Stevens wins

The doors to reach at least the semis are wide open for the Rocket.

Robbo

Alan McManus.

Wow Robertson was really bad, it's been a long time since I've seen him struggle so badly for multiple tournaments

Massive to McManus.

Worrying sings for Robbo. And he's in his mid 30's now. Hope for him, that he isn't one of the early decliners.

Someone get Neil a sausage barm!

If Angles wins this match he'll be the 3rd player to do it from that deficit in Best of 11, the other 2 being Bond and Poomjaeng.

He's only gone and done it!!!

His long potting was way off, which has been his main strength

And in that I'm discounting the fact that O'Sullivan didn't defend his title last year or that he conceded his first match of the 1998 UK Championship defence.

Judd Trump, Mark Williams and Matthew Stevens have all been defeated in their first match of a UK Championship defence in the past decade and a half. They used to hold over four Last 32 matches when 48 players competed at the venue so presumably if it has happened it'll have come during the era when the BBC TV stages started at the Last 16 or third round matches.

Not a good day for vegans.

double post

Been saying Robertson is finished for a while now. Hopefully you mugs start listening now

He's the son of Hendry's (former) wife's sister. So there's no blood relation.

Really shocking result this Robbo defeat.
