Yawn! Same old, same old from certain posters on here. Surprised Darren hasn't been in here yet, as he's usually the first to pipe up and have a dig at O'Sullivan.
Noticed there is none of this about Neil Robertson now he picks and chooses his events or when Mark Selby pulled out of a recent tournament? No talk about them not giving a shit about their fans?
Enjoyable event so far with the qualifiers doing very well. Fancied Murphy to have a good run with the season he's had and way he's been playing but McGill put him to the sword. Stephen Maguire has to be one of the biggest wastes of talent there is, no offence to old 'angles', but he really
shouldn't be losing to him. Nice to see Carter get through, don't think he'll ever win this but after all he's gone through these past few years it's fantastic to see him back and playing well. Not sure of what to make about Ebdon on commentary; seems pretty boring and monotonous so far. Still take him over Virgo screaming 'where's the cue ball going' or trying to play comedian. Dave Gilbert played superb against O'Sullivan and would likely have beat plenty who do end up qualifying for the second round, whilst Sam Baird showed lots of promise last night against Michael White.
Final word goes for the Nugget and what a wonderful tribute the Beeb gave him yesterday, awkward hug with Rob Walker aside!
