Am back. Robbo you Aussie bastard :td: ;-)

In all seriousness, well done Robbo. I hope he wins the tournament now, although Higgins might be a problem.

Also :hatoff: Stevens. Didn't think he could do it. Don't think he'll go any further, but I thought he would lose to Smurph and Judd as well.

How did Higgins play? Well enough to send Allen back to Ireland?

robbo is closing the points gap to the top 2 and going to the worlds with the 2011 worlds points removed he could be leading the way

Good to see Higgins firing again. Any 3 of the 4 can win it, Stevens being the big outsider for me. I mean he's done well to beat Murphy especially with MJW's cue but having seen a picture of Judd's tip it's no surprise he lost that match. Did he actually play with that tip? Surely he had it replaced.

supporters of certain players are certain snooker players fan not a snooker fan.

i have my faves but that changes Round by Round depending who wins or loses it don't affect the tournaments at all for me.

Tomorrow i want Allen and Robertson to win.
