Betfred World Championship (Mon April 24th) Last 16 !! !!

Some people do stuff that is really exciting with their time off. I get snake hissed and watch snooker.

Jason wasn't watching snooker. He cares more about El Classico.

Great walk on song, sir Dott.

Think it will be quick wins for Hawkins and Selby. Beast mode Hawkins usually appears on the finishing sessions here, unless it has already appeared once.

My mistake.

Ken.

I'd like to see Xiao get a couple of frames.

Wish I'd booked the whole week off now instead of just Wednesday onwards!

Willie Thorne commentating.

I've not had to work for the whole tournament. It's been awesome.

Always book the 17 days off

Did Selby start playing in Willie Thorne's club? Who knew!

I have done a couple of years previously but this year I have other commitments for my holiday days unfortunately.

Just as well Taylor never opened a club because if Allen had played in it we would here as much about it as 1985 final

I usually book 2 weeks and just miss first sat and sun

Every player seems to have great cue power according to Dennis

Ugh, I can hear it now: "I always remember Mark Allen was practising in my club a few years ago, and after he had just finished making a century break a punter came up to him and said "Great break, Mark but I could have potted all those balls!" It was quite... amazing.[hrrrrmmmppppphhhh]"

Hawkins misses a black off the spot

Dennis : Barry has a great technique

Next pot missed

Agree Hawk rarely wins easy so I expect Dott to get close enough.

Problem is Dott won't try and keep it tight. He will go out guns blazing miss two or three by miles and stick Hawkins in and it'll be 12-6 in no time

yea he hasent got the right ballance in his game at the moment.


hes like Hendry was at the end of his career

Its AMAZING

Why play a low percentage pot? Play a good safety ffs

Add the heavy breathing at the beginning and the end and it's perfect.
Oh, sorry, is that what the "hrrrrmmmppppphhhh" is? Perfect.

I see tv directors still haven't mastered the art of snooker coverage. Who cares where the balls end when we can have close-ups or "Ton up" garbage in the audience.

That's what the hhhrrrrmmpppp is ;)

Good time for Mark to get his first century, knocking the wind out of Xiao's sails after a strong finish to yesterday.

Why are the BBC obsessed by how many centuries are made this fortnight?

Seriously, who cares?

It's noticeable that every year we've had buckets there's been over 80 centuries

Who in the house?

Gomez in the house.

Xiao.
