    The wheels are starting to fall off with Heathcote.
    A few wayward shots creeping in
    Vital he wins the next frame if he's gonna win the match.

    Sickener for Jimmy

    Fergal 3-1 against Brecel. Looks like he's dictating the flow of the game. Half way there!

    Fergal is 4-2 up now. It would be a really unlikely win. Is anyone watching it? What kind of game is it? Fergal just got a 79 break. Great stuff.


  • Registered Users Posts: 13,023 ✭✭✭✭Joe_ Public


    No pics but fergal just stolen frame to go 5-2 ahead. Obviously playing well. I dont see it as all that unlikely. Fergal is a fighter and can up his game under pressure, Brecel is young and talented but a bit brittle. Thats why he's not top 16.

    The Heathcote Carter game was entertaining. I hadnt seen or heard of heathcote before but he showed some steel to finish off carter.


  • Registered Users Posts: 19,873 ✭✭✭✭El_Duderino 09


    Couple of quick frames to Luca. 5-4. Hope fergal can get over the line.

    Jaysus 60 point lead and got mugged somehow. Gone to decider now.


  • Registered Users Posts: 13,023 ✭✭✭✭Joe_ Public


    Brecel needs a snooker. Hopefully no more drama.


  • Registered Users Posts: 13,023 ✭✭✭✭Joe_ Public


    And gets over the line. Nervy one in the end but no matter. Just Liang Wenbo between him and a return to the crucible. Another ok opponent I'd say, good to watch but flaky as hell. Eminently winnable.

    Have both Fergal and Ken secured their cards for next year now?

    Neither as of yet. Both outside top 64 cut off point as things stand. Top 32 finish probably suffice but it's really tight and impossible to call. Also a further chance on the one year list but that could go anyway. Just keep winning matches is only way to be sure!

    Interested as to how Fergal won a frame 37-29. Must have been a quality one!


  • Registered Users Posts: 13,023 ✭✭✭✭Joe_ Public


    Ken 1-2 down, very scrappy match, threw second frame away with chance to go 2-0 up. Seemed to start well but standard quickly dropped. Hopefully can dig in and fight, king looks poor too.


  • Registered Users Posts: 19,873 ✭✭✭✭El_Duderino 09


    Ken 3-1 down now. Decent 60 break for Ken there. Pity he didn't kill off the frame but great lead.

    Edit. King snatched that frame. So its 4-1 to king now


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,854 ✭✭✭zuutroy


    Black off the spot missed at 60-0 and he loses it :(


  • Registered Users Posts: 13,023 ✭✭✭✭Joe_ Public


    Disaster. Bit unlucky with the safety shot, gotta hurt.


  • Registered Users Posts: 13,023 ✭✭✭✭Joe_ Public


    Thought there was a handy snooker for ken off that red there but he didnt appear to think so!

    Looked like massive fluke for king to start that break though didnt see any acknowledgment. Hard to see a way back from here.


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,854 ✭✭✭zuutroy


    Ken potting some great single balls buy also making too many mistakes and King is doing a good job of punishing them.


  • Registered Users Posts: 13,023 ✭✭✭✭Joe_ Public


    Massive let off after missing another frame ball. 3-5. Still in it.


  • Registered Users Posts: 13,023 ✭✭✭✭Joe_ Public


    End of the road for Ken I'm afraid. No excuses on the day, just didnt play well enough. Not sure where he goes from here.

    Joe Perry losing the rag on other live table. Not sure I've ever seen that before.

    Joe Perry losing the rag on other live table. Not sure I've ever seen that before.

    It was about Clarke "distracting" Perry with his towel ???

    I didn't see much in it myself
    and Perry was under pressure throughout that match.

    Gentleman Joe :pac:

    Didn't see it either; was flicking through the channels.

    Saw the end of the frame, and he was talking to Clarke. Comms said he was explaining himself or apologising - something like that. Repeat on Eurosport 1 now. 3-2 to Clarke and Joe well up with 2 reds left. Think it's this or the next frame it happens. Have it on record.

    Former World Champ Graeme Dott cruises past David Grace 6 - 0.

    Yeah, wasnt deliberate and got the feeling perry was in a huff as much because he just wasnt playing well. Clarke did well to hold his nerve and close match out in the circumstances.

    Joe is probably the closest thing to a shock in the qualification rounds so far.

    Would love to see Dott get through. I always like him. He can still be excellent on his day. He seems to feel every bad shot more than most payers. I'd say his self-talk is abysmal.


  • Posts: 7,792 ✭✭✭[Deleted User]


    Just seen it there - frame 7 it was.

    I think Joe was right. He was going for maybe an 8/10 midrange pink into yellow pocket.

    Clarke shouldn't have been moving around imo - pretty sure he was in Perry's line of vision.


  • Registered Users Posts: 13,023 ✭✭✭✭Joe_ Public


    Fergal on the live schedule tomorrow 1pm. Good news.


  • Registered Users Posts: 13,023 ✭✭✭✭Joe_ Public


    Huge let off for Fergal there, would have been a bodyflow losing that frame after Wenbo needing snookers.


  • Registered Users Posts: 19,873 ✭✭✭✭El_Duderino 09


    He's staying well in the match. If he can get back to 3-3 then it's already a decent performance. He's done himself proud.

    Ah damn it. It's 4-2.

    Should have been level but let that frame slip. Frustrating cos Liang has been missing loads but not being punished sufficiently.
