Is it me or my telly, but does Dennis Taylor mumble ? It always seems much quieter when he is commentating.

A guy knocked on my door earlier, looked the double of a younger Dennis Taylor. Even spoke with the same accent.

Fu beats Murphy 6-4... the top half is wide open now.
Gould v Fu semi-final perhaps? |

What did Ronnie Wood add to Eurosport's studio team yesterday evening, apart from being a celebrity, and a mate of Jimmy White?
I wasn't even sure he was with it some of the time! |

Looks like Darren was treated to a bit of an exhibition by Robbo there - 97% pot success rate

Cheers Clarky. Only £6 a ticket too. Only downside, those ruddy seats weren't the most comfortable
Really want to go to a Tournament one day and with Sheffield being just one hour away there's no excuse! |

They're extending the length of the PTC finals latter stages too aren't they? Instead of it being best of 7 throughout the SF will be best of 17 I think and the final best of 19. The theory being that with 100 grand at stake, just having to win four frames in the final is not hard enough work heh.

Isn't the whole point of the PTC a quick match ? It's like making T20 Finals Day over 40 overs a side

Possible eclipsing Ken Doherty for the worst attempt at a black when on 140.
Poor guy looked gutted. ![]() Personally I still see Ken's as worse because he was one of the best players around who had already dealt with some of the highest pressure scenarios. I reckon this will feel worse though because Ken can at least console himself with all the other successes he had. |

My personal opinion is that, being two tables away, Joyce playing his shot at more or less the same time as Un-Nooh had any impact on him missing. I don't think he would have been conscious of it tbh as he has his back to it, it wasn't as if Joyce was in his eyeline.

You are probably right but it still leaves the question of whether it is good form to let someone about to get a 147 have silence and all the attention. Maybe because they are more common these days that is part of it. |

At least the 2 egg look-a-likes (Bingham and Hawkins) are both out. I couldn't care less who wins now.

Such a shame the Higgins Robertson match wasn't a final. Would of been great. I do think the winner of this tournament is from this match.

Well done to robbo. Shame John looked like he got a kick on green. I'm still not a big fan of the reduced frames. I remember the original format of best 17 and final best of 31. Wish it would go back to that.

So I guess this is maybe Robbo's to lose. He is a class act.

Evening all, first time in here for a while. I haven't seen much of the U.K. Championship at all this year which is very unlike me as it is one of my favourites. So who is looking good so far? I'm watching Selby at the moment, I have a weird crush on him.
