Tony Drago might not have been the most successful but he was really unique, there's still noone like him. He was also a top 16 player in the hardest era.

With Drago it wasnt the flash shots that done him in but the nothing shots he took for granted by rushing.
Ive always thought Drago did not play at his natural pace he played a tad too quick and it cost him.
Today i see a lot of players do that sort of thing.

Indeed!,good on him for doin that,coming back from 4-0 down against any player is a wonderful feat.
Hard luck to the young Scot,(18),Chris Totten,who just lost 5-4,against Un-Nooh,he was 4-3 up,but unfortunatly could,nt pull it off.
He has a wee consolation of registerin his first ever century break,in the 5th frame he knocked in exactly a *100* .

V. funny, but I always thought it was a bit harsh of McManus to not allow play to continue.

Dott is a much better player than Drago, in my opinion

Hmmm; has a BO7 ever been pulled off early?

Maybe so.
But I don't really have any sympathy with Drago. He conceded, can't then change his mind. His own fault.
