Poor old Hendry's averaging less than seven balls potted a frame. Oh well, chance for Ryan Day to play in a one table situation for the first time tomorrow!
Talking of whom, I didn't know he married his father's sister-in-law...that's not one of those Wiki wind-ups is it?
Whilst it's sad to see a great champion like Hendry getting an absolute tonking, when Maguire is in this mood he is an awesome player. When he gets the bit between his teeth, his aggressive and bullying way of playing is so effective.
Who do you mean TC? Not the fella that beat Davis 10 - 1 in a first round match, 1982?
Yup, Tony Knowles. His name cropped up when Maguire went 10-1 up in fact........ Virgo said he hadn't been too clever lately and hope he gets well soon.

Well I noticed the other day that he's entered this year's Q school
I don't know about you but I find the BBC's red button coverage of the snooker quite poor. Twice now I have seen some looped coverage. Also when you try and find the coverage on the red button, its not there to select.

He was cleared of an attack on one of his employees in the pub he runs in Bolton last week. Don't know whether that's what he was referring to
I'm not quite sure what happened to my post earlier but I'll say it again. This was thrashing was always on the cards. Maguire is looking really on form and Hendry came up an atrocious Higgins in the last round and didn't play well himself on the way to a 13-4 victory.
Maguire was my dark horse for the championship, he's down to 11/4 now after this.

I have found it very hit and miss this year. As you say half the time it can not be found, and when I do find it I have no sound. I have to keep swapping tables to get the audio.
I think my Sky box is allergic to Willie Thorne so deletes the sound when he's on. :cool:

Thanks, I missed them mentioning him on the commentary.
Do you think he said anything that was inaccurate or untrue?
Well admittedly I didnt see all of his match but I'm sure Ali said something in his interview about Judd not being a good sportsman (not apologising for flukes?) and just smashing balls around etc, but in that last frame Judd laid some very good snookers and displayed good sportsmanship when he pointed out he hadnt got a free ball when he was at the snookers required stage
Yeah The Sun are about a year late with this story though cos he entered Q school last year, and was soundly thrashed by Mike Hallett in the first of them!

I have to say its as if they find a few hours spare on one channel and stick it on wherever it is free.
Hazel said the other day that they did not show Hendry's 147 in its entirety because they were dipping in and out to the other game. Sums up the coverage really.
I find that the BBC Snooker's coverage is poor at best.
It is like an ex-player old school reunion. I don't see the logic in not having Clive Everton commentating.
The fillers between frames and matches are just plain terrible.

In what way?

I googled him and found this >> http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/sport/4267889/Look-cues-back.html
He is making a come back!:eek::D

Aww, Knowlesy's dream is to win The World Championship next year! :eek: I think that might remain a dream.
A pro misses an easy pot - a kick.
There be the laws of snooker.
If he couldn't win when he was 'young and good looking', it ain't gonna happen for him now!
When TK hit the headlines in 1982 he was the singularly best looking thing to have ever to hit the green baize....... and didn't he know it.

I wish ITV or Channel 4 would get the rights.
In 1982 there were only old men and a few others playing!
I know the commentators just took it for granted, but did Hendry just not hit is at the right angle?
I have a view on kicks which is not mentioned too often.
I believe it may have something to do with the sweat and natural grease from the players bridge hands constantly being rubbed on the table.
He he, I remember it Stunty!!
