Wonder if the pub will put the Jimmy match on.

They did not.

White 3-0 down.

Is Jimmy being televised?

Dismal from Wakelin. The worst performance I have seen for a long, long time.

Don't think so. I'm watching on Eurosport player and can only watch the Trump match and the Fu match..

I had Patsy talking for a moment.

Hoping to be back at my parent's home for 1pm tomorrow for the numpty match. (Why couldn't it be him I missed?)

Honest John in the evening. Back at my home, for once, for a few beers.

Wakelin looks like he hasn't slept for a week

You missed the start of Selby's decline earlier....

So I understand.

Like Ronnie, I expect Selby's decline to last several years and to include many raking wins.

Jack's back!

Feeling sorry for Wakelin now.

Zhao Fu warming up

Zhao is an entertaining player

...plenty of swagger too.

and im sure he will lose a lot more aswell as winning a lot of tournaments you cant win them all

Dale went on a run from 2-5 to 5-5. Just spoke to Graeme on phone. It was a nervy final frame but he held himself together well. He will be glad to get out of that sports hall.

The UK is the lesser of the 3 triple crown tournaments. It is why O'Sullivan hasn't even entered the event at least 3 times. Snooker needs to get to a stage where it isn't just about 'The Crucible'.

The UK was by far the second biggest tournament until 2010.

It still is the 2nd biggest ranker as it offers more prize money than the others.

Even with the format being shortened, it's still one of the few tournaments with a Best of 11 from the start. Only The Masters and the IC have it.

Shortening the frames of the UK was an ill thought out mistake. Snooker needs an event of 'best of 17' from the first round. The UK is now an average event.

It's the second biggest ranking event, maybe the second biggest event full stop, but it isn't a patch on the UK of old.
