spot on
And because the cloth is so thin if you cue a ball badly it bounces along the slate that on impact its air bound.

Steve Davis. "I came to Sheffield this year, to revisit friends."
Picture of him and Jimmy stood outside the Ally Pally.

Looking at the results alone makes Stephen Maguire look like a ninja.

A bit too much Stephen Fry.
And Alan Hansen, for some reason.

I enjoyed that last night.Good acting.It was heartbreaking to see Alex begging Barry Hearn at the end.
Rags to riches.And back to rags.
Alex ended his days drinking in pubs around Dublin playing pool for a drink with many losing to him on purpose out of sympathy.
A shell of his former self.Skin and bone.A sorry sight.

I Bet you thought Robbo might win the GP after disposing of Ronnie
and Marco Fu is a dark horse or would you give him as good a chance as Selby, Ronnie, Higgins or Robertson of picking it up?
Lets not forget my friend Robbo's Breakbuilding is 10 times better than it was prior to Hendry saying he was Amateurish.

I will be honest robbo isn't as confident since winning the uk in 2015 and so after beating Ronnie no way did I think he was fav for WGP
On Bingham Hendry is a paid expert we are not

And I make Fu slight fav for tonight based on this seasons form and robbo has lost his last few close matches at the WSC v Hawkins and Selby.
I hope Robbo Wins but think Marco looks more solid.

I used to fancy robbo for the pressure pots but his form as been off for a while , if he pulls this match off then I hope his confidence will start to return

By the way my comments do not show a lack of faith in robbo I'm just being a realistic supporter.

Hoping Dott can win the first mini session to get back into the match. Hawkins hasn't always been great coming back in with big leads so holding on that hope really.

My favourite part if that documentary?
Davis (to paraphrase): So in all those times you beat White and with all the heartache he went through was there ever any part of you that felt a bit sorry for him.
Hendry: ...(pause)....No.
Brilliant.

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
