    If Clarke wins this to go 9 - 7 he's taking it. Can't see Allen winning 3 in a row.

    Before today I never knew who Dave farrar was. I'm sorry I do now. Isn't Hendry enough for commentary? Often less is more.

    This lad is not one bit fazed by Allen or the enormity of the situation. Good signs.

    You have the Spaceman and Yates on Eurosport. Classic combo.

    Very enjoyable match this Allen v Clarke. Wouldn't write Allen off yet, think Clarke needs to win it with this frame to win 10-7, or else I think it will come to a nervy decider.

    Impressive 76 break to pull one back by Allen

    8-9, Allen finding a bit of rhythm again, hard to call now.

    Allen capable of having the match won in 25 minutes if he gets a chance, scores so quickly.

    Scandalous error from Mark Allen, played it like he didn’t care that he’d knock the black in, Clarke the deserved winner.

    Better player, seriously impressive performance. Allen didn't do a lot wrong but knocking that black in there was criminal.

    Should have come off the bottom cushion there with touch of side and try hold the white behind the green.

    1/12 favourite for this game i believe, was Allen. First big shock. Thought Allen could go deep this year but beaten by the better man.

    Fair play Clarke, will be keeping an eye out for him over the rest of the tournament, I like his style and hope he does well.

    If he repeats that I'd fancy him to take McGill but i couldn't see any of them beating higgins. Higgins getting the absolutely plum draw this year.

    Well thats my pick to win sent home early.
    Allen really should be comfortably beating someone whos barely hanging on the tour.

    Higgins v Trump would be a great semifinal and looks likely

    Would seem the likely call alright. I know Kyren Wilson always has his fans but he's a bit workmanlike for my liking. Remember when trump and himself used to be a grudge encounter so could be interesting if they do meet. Not sure the w/o actually in Wilsons favour.

    Clark was 14-1 in running, 2-0 down. Maguire any chance of a comeback? 8-1 in Ladbrokes

    Yeah I only caught the last frame. Seems to have both decent safety and potting. Although can be a bit rash like when he lashed the red (for a double I think) when frame was virtually over and nearly went in off.
    Was some great shots in that 48 break he got in the last frame that a mere mortal would not get. Plus he won the 4th frame with three snookers. Definite all round player.

    Guff about stuff, and stuff about guff.

    No. Martin Gould is playing out of his skin. I can see him going deep.

    No chance. He was out of sorts and I feared he would smash his cue at one point. No way back.

    Gould's breaks 57, 103, 77, 103, 100, 83, 103. Seems to like getting 103's. :D

    I must have jinxed Maguire thought he could win outright! Glad I did not put my money where my mouth is.

    Gould is 38 yo. Eight years since he was in top 16 and slid since. Maybe Maguire can come back a bit and pressure him... I doubt it.

    He hasn't annoyed me so far but not so much Ted Lowe, I thought it was 'whispering' Bob Harris in the box with Hendry there. He does sound a bit like whispering Bob.

    Yeah, he reminded me of Bob Harris too. Made me feel like looking up some old clips of The Old Grey Whistle Test again.
