    Ken's right back in this quite amazingly. It's a poor standard and whoever progresses will have to up their performance hugely for the next round.

    No, the match ends tonight. This is just the mid-session interval.

    Eurosport will stick with it I'm sure.

    Good break from McManus, not looking good for Doherty

    Think McManus has this frame unless he makes a mistake, the noise from the other table is so annoying even for viewers. Imagine trying to focus on a shot!

    ... Ken would need to pull out something special at this stage...like Kirk Stevens's (of old) special shooting powder..?!
    He seems to me to be playing at a faster pace than he used to years ago...

    Yeah, agreed. Also he missed a lot of key shots by whacking the ball out of it, that might have worked back in 1997 or whenever he won this but if I'm not wrong the jaws/pockets have changed somewhat since then?

    Yeah true...he seems a bit jumpy at times on shots, not like before, but still, fair play, hegot that far so more luck to him.

    selby will win by a heavy margin the next day anyhow it was delaying the inevitable if he got through,Ken cannot break build anymore, selby would have embarrased him which im sure he will do to Alan Mc the next day

    is the bbc actually able to show the sessions that they're cutting short?

    or has eurosport outbid them or something?

    bit of a shocker the way they're carrying on

    I'd say the BBC isn't getting the viewership that they used to so elected to not show it all day

    What's the craic with the bbc messing with the old snooker theme tune 'drag racer'? - classics are called classics for good reason, the feckers hah.
    Feck it I'm off for the first game of snooker in years - night all!

    Only one match on Red button and on Saturday there was no red button game as they were showing final score. It's a pity because for Winbledon next summer they will have 6 or 7 games on the red button and not one game will be cut short.

    Ya it's just a choice of one match anymore on red button,they haven't even an evening session anymore on BBC ,Theyv cut back on it a lot u kind of need Eurosport if u want to watch it wall to wall ,Theyv given it a lot coverage and backing in comparison to the BBC

    Eurosport were my saving grace with the Olympics too..they show all.of the swimming. The BBC don't seem to think ppl want to watch the actual matches. They are all about replaying the black ball final and showing fancy stuff with Hawkeye and interviews. I like that stuff too but not when there is actual snooker going on.
