This tournament is now wide open. Many of the favourites have gone out now and there are some surprises especially in the lower side of the draw. I would love to see Ricky Walden continue to play well and make a run to the final. I think that 147 really helped him and gave him much needed confidence.
The upper side of the draw is still packed, it's very hard to predict who's gonna make it to the final. I would prefer Trump. Whoever makes it to the final from this half will be the favourite in the final.

Well what a cracker this uk is this year,Ronnie out, Very unlucky with unwanted kick in decider but missed too many opportunities earlier in match and the balls bit him .Judd potted like an Uzi on steroids. :ahh:

Selby out to Fu,You couldnt predict that. :ahh:

Gould very unlucky in his match with the r ighteous man.Great fighter is our gouldie. :hatoff:

Maguire or Allen for the title me thinks.

I am loving new format and i feel barry has got it right,Every match i have watched has been top quality snooker. :spot on:

This i feel is in no small part due to Barry Hearn and the PTC'S keeping all players match sharp and the rolling rankings which incidentally i banged on about for time on another snooker forum as Potquick the great.

The rankings are spot on and most importantly current where the form of players is concerned,And this UK is proof of that.

I'm loving it,Happy day's. :ahh:

I will support Allen. It would be funny seeing Hearn having to shake Allen's hand on Sunday night saying "Well played, but I will still see you in court", with Allen replying "buck you old man, you can stick yer trophy up your ass".

Come on Allen!!!

Well i think that wouldnt happen,Mark Allen would be overjoyed to win the UK. ;-)

I don't care what his view's on Barry Hearn are,He obviously has strong feeling's about all the recent changes in the sport.I t is up to him what he think's.

But,He is a really decent fella,I know because i met him in a bar across the road from the crucible during the 2010 world's playing pool next to myself and another regular poster on this forum.

We played pool next to him and we got chatting about the poor state of the pool cue's we had to use. :-)

Smart who was with me asked him if he wouldnt mind having a photo took with us,He duly obliged and we wished him well in his campaign.And then he carried on playing pool with his friend's.

He really is a top bloke,No big ego,Just a regular guy ,I felt privilaged to have met him.

Come on Mark!!!! :D :D

Trump or Ding from the upper side of the draw will progress i think.

Murphy/Fu from the bottom draw.

I always liked Fu. Still remember that amazing clearence (with the red on the cushion) that gave him the Grand prix tournament against Ronnie. You would feel he should have earned much more cause he is one of the few players that is REALLY not afraid of anyone. His record against the best of players proves it...

Defarmation of Character

the list is endless to be honest


Slander, Defarmation of Character? Really

Can you also provide me some examples of the endless list as well because as far as i can see niether of what you have wriiten will stand up in a court of law considering Hearn has also acted childishly?

Don't you think Judd will beat Mags?

Fair play to Maguire, I never expected him to beat Higgins, but I'm still not sure he's a contender to win this tournament.
