I was at that match. (Judd vs Mark Allen.)
It was a wildcard match. 11am. Very few people there, as I recall. The old Wembley felt empty.

Not many times you will have 2 players making their debut against each other since 1975 that is.

And there was only about a dozen of us there to witness it.

Surely Allen won't join the other three big names in exiting the tournament this evening?

Dave is well capable, you never know...
I expected Carter to beat Selby, but certainly not the other 2, especially this last one.

If Allen does lose tonight I think it's in contention for being the most surprising start to a Masters tournament.

Predicted Allen to win, but would be happy if Gilbert makes it through. My predictions have gone down the drain now!

Same.
I was on course for a perfect score today with Robbo at 5-1.
He really put the ‘cockerel’ in peacock today.

You travel with a pint glass?
