Round 1
Best of 19 Frames
5 on the bunce for Allen
Wu was unstoppable last night
mark turning the screw
Century to go 7-6 up
frame 10 was massive - both players in multiple times
Watching it you could feel that whoever ended up losing it, they would have the stuffing knocked out of them
Mark took it and has kicked on
Looks a different player now
Probably won't get 8 frames played this afternoon
To me, to you. This is embarrassing in an elite sport event.
Why haven't they installed a system to replace the balls precisely every time without this comedy skit? It's hardly an impossible feat of technology to project the previous placement onto the table.
I always wondered why they don’t have a system where lights shine in the colours and placement where the balls were.
mad frame this
strangely riveting viewing
what did referee just say???
The ref Martel seemed annoyed when yer man on crowd said “rerack” anyway..
Hendry is losing the will to live in the commentary box. That’s the bit I find funny. He already suggested fouling and potting the black on purpose. 14th frame by the way for those watching back Wu v Allen.
"House of Games will now be shown at 6.30 on BBC2"
Could be a.m. the rate they're going…
I can't stop watching.
It does seem to be just stubbornness at this point on his behalf.
This is why Billards never took off as a spectator sport.
This is a farce. The black isn't close enough to end up dropping. Should have been a re-rack 15 or 20 minutes ago.
I think the player behind should lose frame if not willing to try break the stalemate
Shambles.
And now the ref hushing the crowd up.
I hope they keep at it.
Crowd cheering every shot 😂
Only then did Martel say anything to the players. Because he knows the crowd are taking the piss out of him indirectly.
This is great craic
Crowd shaming the Marcel into doing something about it.
Should go to a re-rack
Allen doesn’t want a re-rack but the Ref has the final decision. Come on Ref get off the pot!
Ref needs to grow a pair. Comical stuff.
Holy moly, had the telly on in the background, just turned to pay attention - htf did they wind up like that?? Have rewound as far as I can (31 mins), and I'm still nowhere near the start of the frame!! Going to sit down and watch it through now.
Referee doesn't need to explain. Just act! He had to be coaxed into this by an official
Do both players not have to agree?
Maartel was braver tackling that protester years ago, Than making a rerack decision now.
Jan Verhaas would have had this sorted 20 mins ago.
