I don't think Milkins was too happy because at one point they came back from the 15 min interval, played one frame which lasted about 10 mins, and Neil went out to the toilet again while Robert sat there waiting. I like Neil, but I have seen him do that a few times in matches, thankfully not to the extent of Peter Ebdon. adamtuckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01634233085290108223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29605452.post-57460894445537769862013-04-27T12:14:56.933+01:002013-04-27T12:14:56.933+01:00Hello all, Cuetip here:

It was, indeed, the fourth.<br /><br />A great evening session, in my view.<br /><br />Selby .V. Hawkins. Session 2. Selby, 5-3 up, at the start of this session. A good quality Session fom both, shared, at 4-4. Selby leads, 9-7, going into tomorrow afternoon's final session.<br /><br />Murphy .V.Dott. Third and final session. 8-8, at the re-start. Murphy started well, to lead, 9-8. 9-9, 10-9, to Dott. Murphy levels, at 10-10, at the mid-session interval. A near 57 minute 21st frame. A re-spotted black. Dott plays a bad one. Murphy leads, 11-10. He went 12-10 infront, also. Dott made it 12-11. An edgy 24th frame. In it, both have chances. A good safety exchange. Dott, makes an error. Murphy, pots a great long-red, lands on the pink, and, does enough, to win the frame, Cclaim a 13-11 win, and no Scot, in in the event's Quarter-Finals, for the first time, in 25 years, since 1988. Murphy, is the second man through to this year's Quarter-Finals.<br /><br />I can not wait for more, tomorrow.JAMIE O'REILLYnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29605452.post-67851332221183229722013-04-26T21:18:44.470+01:002013-04-26T21:18:44.470+01:00Hi David.

M...Hi David. aA fine morning session, in my view. <br /><br />Murphy .V. Dott. Session two. Resuming 6-2 down, Dott, required a good start. He got it, by winning the session's first two frames. 6-4, to Murphy. A fine 65 break from Murphy, made it 7-4 despite dott playing on, for snooer's. An unscheduelled mid-session interval, followed, as Dott was gettin electric scock form the table, and carpet. Water was spayed on the floor to prevent this hapening again. Dott won the following three frames. Murphy, looking unsettled. 7-7. Murphy played wellin the next frame, to win it, and lead, 8-7. Dott, won a tactical last frame of the session. 8-8, going into tonight's final session.<br /><br />Selby .V. Hawkins - Session one. the first two frames were shared. 1-1. Selby made a great 101 break, in the third, to lead, 2-1. It was 2-2. Selby, won the next wo frames, to gain a 4-2 lead. Hawkins, won the next ne. 4-3. Selby, won a tight, last frame of the session, on the final black, to gain a 5-3, over-night lead, going into this evening's second session.

Clubs are closing down while others are greatly reducing the number of tables in favour of pool.<br /><br />On another matter, I've got to say it again Dave - these big bounces on the Star tables are totally unacceptable.These players are punching their tripe out trying to become World Champion and they have to contend with these big bounces all the time.There is no excuse why this should be happening on such a regular basis.I'd suggest that Barry Hearn, as well as writing to the BBC this week, should also contact the table manufacturers to express his concern at the poor quality of the cushions.We shouldn't have to put up with this poor quality.Raynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29605452.post-69458715555867660272013-04-26T13:27:55.974+01:002013-04-26T13:27:55.974+01:00Who was the last player before Poomejaeng to lose ...Who was the last player before Poomejaeng to lose a frame with three misses at the World Championship?Mattnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29605452.post-14319879932975373962013-04-26T13:27:11.908+01:002013-04-26T13:27:11.908+01:00Not wishing to be some conspiracy theorist but has...Not wishing to be some conspiracy theorist but has anyone else noticed how Ronnie O'Sullivan has been given a big break between his first and second round matches. His fist match was on Saturday 20th April, his second round match is tomorrow, Saturday 27th, giving O'Sullivan *a week* of extra practice. Compare that to Dechawat Poomjaeng. He won his first round match on the 23rd, and started his second round match on the 25th, yesterday. That left him *one day* of extra practice. <br /><br />Can't see how that's fair. Surely a week of extra practice can help iron out any problems with a player's technique or improve their overall potting or just help them to relax more. This does seem to give the likes of O'Sullivan an unfair advantage.The Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05880651698568010594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29605452.post-20172527752054104742013-04-26T11:13:04.597+01:002013-04-26T11:13:04.597+01:00Graeme Dott, 'electrifying' !

Fair play to Milkins, but he looked equally as poor as the Aussie, but just did enough. Looks as though the big guns are falling over themselves to make it an easy ride for Ronnie.<br /><br />But can anyone explain why both he and Milkins disappeared from the arena in mid frame, in around the 17th frame? I was watching with the sound off, so could not hear what the commentators were saying. Can't remember the last time I saw both players leave the arena midway through a frame. And when he got back, Milkins didn't look too happy at being kept waiting.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29605452.post-4826008368713178502013-04-26T10:27:36.933+01:002013-04-26T10:27:36.933+01:00eurosports coverage has been excellent, despite th...eurosports coverage has been excellent, despite the heavy breathing of mike h.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
