ORDER OF PLAY

I'm at the European Champs and I reffed MJW's son yesterday. His parents were watching of course, he's very young but with the right tools and knowledge from his dad could make inroads in the game.

Come on Mark('s son)

Does he play a similar carefree attacking game?

How is his single-ball-potting?

But which one?

(he has three)

Come on Judd!

Huge week for the guys in and around the top 16.

£1000 points separate Lisowski in 16 and Hawkins in 17

With Hawkins pretty much safe for the TC he should be fine for a top 16 seeding for the Crucible though

can't see jack making it to crucible through qualifying.

I wonder if Discovery plus/ Eurosport player will only show coverage of 2 tables during this event. They did that in the Wuhan Open and International championship.

Love the 130am matches

I certainly will be

Tivie-ing today's matches, so will watache tonight.

Century for Judd and he leads 3-1

I see Luca layed the smack down.

Won't post much today. Am on score avoidance.

Did just see that Luca laid the snack down.

Hopefully I won't see the score for the Ding match.

67 break from Thor and he gets a frame back and trails 3-2.

I meant smack.

But it probably applies.

I keep forgetting to not open this thread.

Now that's how you steal a frame! Judd clears with 59 and leads 4-2. Can he hold his nerve here for victory?

Century for Judd and he wins 5-2

I have got out of the habit of skipping results.

I just went on Facebook, and saw the Judd result.

Luckily I am working from home most of this week.

You bastard.

Murphy wins 5-3 :( Xu missed frame ball blue in that frame.

People who are allowed to work from home are hammers and they should feel like hammers (ps, I'm not even working today )

This might legitimately be the funniest thing SnookerFan has written on the forum
