    Wish I'd put a quid or two on her for a wee interest she was 20/1 before it started.

    Allen should tell her where to go if she wants to shake his hand after

    Would have been a deadly blow if she had have potted that red in the 4th frame. I thought Allen conducted himself very well, tremendous clearance in that 4th frame.

    Because of the short format of the British Open comp, it’s been a real kick in the balls as far as betting goes. Results have been all over the place!

    Anyway, mone big Williams!

    I think that’s what made it an enjoyable watch. Also the fact there was a random draw after each round meant if could throw up any match up. Something a bit different.
    Also maybe an avenue to get players in the periphery table time of a televised event and gain experience for bigger more prestigious events so they don’t buckle as still many of the top 16 are over 35!
    A few Chinese boys look ok, esp Bingtao but other than that, I think the old guard will be here for a while yet.

    Totally, mate. It was very intriguing and enjoyable to watch as a direct result of the format. My credit card disagrees, though. Got shafted betting wise. :86:

    I’m no surprised!! So unpredictable on such a short length of game.

    Nice one, will watch that. Snooker players find pool easy, they could definitely easily transition to a career in pool. Very few pool players could do the opposite.

    Think the only difficulty snooker players have in pool is with the break off shot.

    Was great to some fantastic snooker by Mark Allen yesterday.
    Some absolutely great shots, and rounded off with a stunning 147.

    Will be interesting to see how far he can go.
