You actually going?
I tried to but but as soon as I landed in Belfast I had some sharp pains in my lower back caused by some Mark Allen mates who immediately handed a nice deportation order to me. Next flight you'll hear from the venue is mine.
Shame really, I had some really good questions for Allen's bird, hoping to understand what's wrong with her.

That Allen's missus?
Meh. He did better with Reanne Evans, in my opinion.

Remember that year at the UK Championships when Marco Fu brought his wife/girlfriend/whatever she was, and she gave Dennis Taylor a Christmas card?
The bucking fool didn't stop going on about it all week. Made it sound like it was the only Christmas card he'd ever received.

There was probably a picture of him potting the final black of the 1985 final on that christmas card.

Kyren meanwhile doing his usual business. Potting everything. 3:2.

Joe Johnson taking lessons from Hendry, it seems. Says that both players are 'trying to win' and not relying on safety.
The safety game gets a tough time these days. Poor thing.

If you dont have a fairly good enough safety game these days you can hardly win a tournament. At least if you face great safety players like Selby, Higgins, etc..

How is playing safe not trying to win?
I'm pretty sure the point of a safety shot is to make it difficult for your opponent. A person who refuses to play percentages, or keeps taking on pots that aren't on, is much less likely to win than somebody who knows how to play safety.

So the fire in Allen's belly wasn't the reason after all. Now that I've seen her better, I don't fancy her all that much...I find that little girl's mom from that Virgin TV's commercial on Eurosport to be much much more interesting.

It's a great match. MJW in on a break to try and make it 3-3.
I haven't watched many matches this week, but the pockets look a little generous to me. Maybe someone else can comment on that.

Can't picture her at the moment.
How does she compare to the Chicken Madras bird?

50/50 for me, but if it goes 4-4 I fancy Kyren to win more than MJW.

Have a look at the next commercial break on Eurosport or later at the evening matches.

You're playing a hard game Snookerfan, that's a very tough question. Chicken Madras bird has the opportunity to show off quite a bit, while the Virgin TV's mom just sits on her couch staring at her annoying daughter in complete apathy.
Typical match probably going to a decider, I think. I 'd put a fiver on Virgin's TV mom to win, though.

Wilson was showing twitching and nerves all through that break and it finally caught him up. Will missing that glorious chance affect him in the decider?
Here we go!

MJW gets more kicks than anyone on tour.
It's part of the reason that I think cueing has a lot to do with kicks.

Gutted for Williams, seems like he's been playing better this week than he has for a while.
I'd love to see him win another major.

I'm rooting for Hossein Vafaei and Anthony Hamilton in the evening matches. I will be watching mainly the Vafaei vs King on ES Player.

Oh, is it Mark Allen match on Eurosport?
I thought it was the Mark King match?
I'm less fussed now.
