    O’Sullivan looking imperious right now. Can’t see past him in this type of form. Looks mentally at it as well.

    Local lad Anthony McGill just missed a great opportunity there to get a 147. What a pity! Think he had potted some 12 reds & 11blacks, but missed a rather easy black. I thought he was going to do it. What a chance missed. Great pity.

    Neil Robertson is the winner for me the last tournament nobody could live with him .
    The Glasgow guy McGill must be kicking himself as he could have won a couple of more frames there but bad mistakes had cost him .

    John Higgins and mark Williams should be good tomorrow. John didn't play well in the first round, Mark did play well. Loving Mark's break off shot these days too and how it's winding people up :D

    He hits the cue ball off the back cushion and nestles it against the pack of reds. World snooker have already contacted players asking if they think it should be banned. Not sure why, maybe just cos it's such a defensive shot and may lead to more boring frames.

    Ronnie has copied it for his break off shots today against McGill and it hadn't been doing him any favours, he'd been leaving reds open for McGill in a few frames

    He’s a crackin’ player, no doubt, and utterly relentless most of the time, but has been a bit tepid against Lesowski. Btw, his barnet a joke! :giggle1: He looks like a right dodgy * case with it. Most guys with curly hair are victims by default. Poor sap! :giggle1:

    He rolls the cue ball into the back of the pack off the top cushion dead weight

    I'm surprised the players allowed this break to be legal and a couple of times players during a frame were rolling up to the reds for five or six shots and will drive viewers away it's boring and negative .
    Still think one red should come away from the pack to be a legal shot and just my opinion .

    Mcgill is absolutely outstanding, guy has balls of steel. Would love him to go all the way.
