Looks like Higginson has a knack for patricide.

Ebdon was always a tough opponent for Robertson. I am not sure, though, that he can cause him real trouble nowdays.

Don't forget to vote Green today if you have a Green candidate in your constituency. Be selfless for a change.

Wattana making a rare appearance in the 3rd round. Snooker used to be very big in Thailand. Here is Wattana winning his home event in the 90s.

Don't listen to vodka (unless you live in Brighton, do you live in Brighton vodka?), use your vote wisely, don't bucking waste it, even if you have to vote tactically. Good luck everyone and may the best party win. (Even though, let's face it, they're all rubbish.)

I don't live in Brighton. I have swapped my vote with a voter in Bristol West though.

Johnson will win unfortunately which shows how retarded many people in Britain are.

Can't argue with that, think you will be proven right in the early hours of Friday morning.

Come on Graeme

I’m sure Gilbert has played Xiao before in that infamous Shootout match

Gould beat Ronnie once. In the power snooker final years back.

Please no politics in a match thread, start a thread. Serious Dan.

Great post match with Ronnie yesterday saying 'I have been playing a bit too attacking'. No sh*t.

What happened?

Xiao potted match ball after the pips

Also in that interview, they were discussing whether 12 seconds AST was a record, and apparently Teppy had a quicker match to which Ronnie defensively said 'yes but was it decent snooker?' Makes me wonder if Iranu's theory holds some water...

What's Iranu's theory?

More importantly, was the match a record for the fastest Best of 7? I checked the official timing, it didn't even reach 33 minutes like we mentioned, it was 32 min.

Iranu's hot take is that ever since Trump said a couple of month's ago that Teppy Lad was the most exciting player on the circuit, Ronnie immediately started going for everything and playing as fast as possible.

Yeah this surprised me, the ref could barely keep up, Ronnie waiting to strike the cue ball on many occasions. If I'm right - the ref must call the score before being able to play the shot or it's a foul? (Andre?)

(Gotta love this uploader, the interview finishes and then it's three minutes of him playing a computer game.)

Yes the ref must call the score otherwise it's a foul.

Sometimes with ROS playing it's just less than a second, but as long as the ref is satisfied he played it legally, he won't call a foul.\

I was also one who said it's too much of a coincidence.

Wattana!

Potential Ding v Trump match tonight

Robertson besting his bogeyman 1-0 and in the balls for 2-0
