Fergal doesn’t need one! He’ll

do it on merit!

hopefully for him alright !,, tough match against English Robbo in the pipeline (or now, not too sure)

Joe_ Public

Robertson offered him a lifeline there but not to be for fergal, loses 2-4. Shame, had chance to go 3-2 the previous frame but just came up short. Still tight for the card, second on one year list which is his most likely route but a few behind him are still in the turkey event and he's not, so that could inflict damage. Gonna come down to the world's as usually does. Can't see how a wild card would be in the offing, quite frankly.

Strumms

Poor shot selection from Si, there was a not too hard safety clipping the outside of a red by the middle pocket getting back to baulk

Cracking pot on last red : "one of the pots of the week, no question about it" by Ron there, and he gets in to win frame 5. 3-2 up the Rocket against Ding.

The Nal

Do bookies even take bets on Ronnie beating Ding?

Ding has beaten him twice in the last 10 years. Lost 15.

Walden played well to turn over Ronnie this evening. Wonder will Ronnie do a shift for eurosport in the studio tomorrow?

Was in the studio the other night after he won that day

Rothko

It'd be great if Lisowski went on to win this tournament.

Rothko

I wonder if that missed red will come back to haunt Trump.

Rothko

Apparently not. He gets over the line.

Am siding with the fav Ricky Walden here... a bridge too far for the resurgent 'Gentleman' methinks,, aint seen Joe playing at all this week tho,,

Ricky were on fire in frame 2,, a big break to tie match at one apiece,,

he's nicely in here too, early on in frame 3

JP on top here,, looking good to go 3-1 up atm,, both these on top of their games tbf

edit: Joe misses a black,, not a lot for RW to go at tho,,,

2 centuries and two frames was the best Ricky could muster,, Joe will give anyone a game the way he's playing... I'm gonna chuck a score on him to beat Jackpot tomorrow 😃

Rothko

Pity, I was hoping that Ricky would win.

Vafaei means business here,,, Gwan Hussein!

Jimmy in a three piece and O’Sullivan in a pair of runners and t-shirt.

Good contest between Lisowski and Perry.

Rothko

Don't think many people would have predicted it to be 4-4 after the first session.

Arthur Daley

Forgot that Iulian Boiko is from Ukraine. Born in Kyiv in 2005. Only 16 on the tour at this time. No doubt the snooker family look after the lad.

Arthur Daley

8-5 Perry. Trump needing all 4 to win.

Brian?

Delighted for Joe. Really hope he closes this out early.

eric hoone

Perry has played well, especially potting from distance.

Snake Plisken

Delighted for Joe, great to see him win

Gentleman Joe!

Same as that. I had written him off. I still think he's past it and suspect this is a flash in the pan, but can't take away his performance this week. Delighted for him.

I think Hossein Vafaei has taken his place as in my mind as an outsider who I'd really support. He's good to watch too.

The Nal

The Perry era has begun

Strumms

Scrappy as fück start to Higgins vs Emery, must have been 10 minutes of play if not more before a ball was potted…

incidentally that red / orange carpet… tanning my eyeballs..

The Nal

The Milkman always delivers!

kirk.

Jaysus how many final frame 147s has Ronnie made, it's ridiculous

Never get tired watching the 5m break but he's got some amazing other maximums
