The Snooker Thread (Part 1)

All matches in the second round so far have been very close.

Chance for Trump now. Frame 20 was an utter sickener for Yan. Should have closed it out for 10-10. Trump snuck it on the black after been 60+ down. He needed to draw level. He’s been a frame or two behind all night.

Horrible shot

Trump has that ability to get himself out of trouble with incredible pots.

This is a great competition. The standard is light years ahead of the 80’s and 90’s.

He does. I’d be very surprised if Trump is not in the final at the very least. There’s a good bit of talk about Kyren Wilson but I don’t see it really. Wilson is a solid player but his cue control and break building is a notch or two below that of all the top players.

One of my favourite competitions all year.

Wilson is flakey

BBC or Eurosport?

Eurosport always has matches available so I have tended to go there in recent years. Joe Johnson is great I think.

Robertson :rofl:

Going to the wrong Barnsley :relaxed::relaxed:

A comedy of errors before the first frame even starts!

Hawkins with one of the all time worst blown frames there missing a dolly pot on the black for frame ball at 61-0 up and Robertson steals back in.

The Hawk battling away as he always does here, 6-5 Robertson and now a massive frame here.

What happened?

Anyone see the row between McGill and Clarke earlier?

Looked tame enough to me. McGill took offence at Clarke standing in his eyeline for a shot. McGill ran off behind Clarke after the frame as he went off stage and they came back on and that was the end of it - I think.
