    Is it just me or is the standard of play really bad this year?

    This Ricky Walden Barry Hawkins match is like two amateurs playing so many mistakes.

    but the game is tied 11-11 and the bbc cut it off. I cant get the red button coz I only have basic upc.

    its really bad. I know the commentary on eurosport isnt the best but at least they stick with it til its over!

    its not on red button or eurosport. its not on the tv at all, coverage of snooker is gone downhill really bad this year

    BBC are a disgrace this year. Not showing important games, games not even being available on red button,only showing 1 hour on the evening session.

    Out of principle I'm watching Eurosport

    Any coverage of Ken Dockerty game?


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,318 ✭✭✭Absoluvely


    It's not on TV as far as I know and is only being streamed on some websites.

    This was a moment ago, but subsequently McManus missed a shot and Ken knocked in a few balls.

    Live on BBC2 now for the next 30 minutes.

    Would be lovely to see Doherty get through! Lets hope he shows some flashes from the past in this session!

    Both players making some incredible misses in this frame ^_^

    Which is working out in Ken's favour so far :)

    Been very poor quality so far! I'd say they can't wait for this frame to be over

    Live on Eurosport now. Bbc coverage is poor, constantly cutting away from frames


  • Registered Users Posts: 78 ✭✭Choodefat


    Anyone know if the rest of the match will be live on any channel?


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,238 ✭✭✭Kaizersoze81


    Channel 423 on upc


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,877 ✭✭✭purplecow1977


    Id have played better myself!


  • Registered Users Posts: 41 Forthright


    Complete and utter dross from both players. If Doherty could discover the form he had against Bingham in the last session he would have this in the bag. Mc Manus is there for the taking.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,997 ✭✭✭Grimebox


    Did the commentator just say "McManus is getting himself into a bit of McMess"?


  • Registered Users Posts: 9,292 ✭✭✭Adamocovic


    Shocking horrid stuff to watch, after the last two frames of the earlier session I had some high hopes for this one. Boy was I wrong!


  • Registered Users Posts: 41 Forthright


    Selby is the big winner here.

    Mc manus looks to be on the ropes if ken could only take advantage

    Yes he McCertainly did.

    Ken has been getting a lot of lucky breaks in this match that've kept him in it and helped him win most of the close frames.

    If Ken wins this frame I could see McManus having a bit of a McImplosion.

    What matches are on tomorrow?


  • Registered Users Posts: 9,292 ✭✭✭Adamocovic


    I hope I'm wrong, but if McManus wins this frame I think it will give him the confidence to close off the match. Though both players have been very poor so far McManus showing more signs of getting out of the slump...and yes Selby is the big winner here.


  • Registered Users Posts: 41 Forthright


    What matches are on tomorrow?

    Murphy/Fu, Robertson/Allen, Dale/Walsey & Trump/Day


  • Registered Users Posts: 7,513 ✭✭✭seanhynes


    he needs this frame or its back to the commentary booth/punditry


  • Registered Users Posts: 179 ✭✭AlwaysAnyTime


    ah feck, it's McManus frame to lose now


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,238 ✭✭✭Kaizersoze81


    Great frame to win for ken . 11-8 now


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,318 ✭✭✭Absoluvely


    Boom!

    McManus McMisses again!

    KD 8 - 11 McM
