    Northern Ireland Open starting in Belfast this morning. Already the scoring has gone down. They have to bring out an old fashioned score board so the players know the score. But no scores available to Eurosport for now.

    Don't see the BBC standing for it at the triple crown events

    WST really need to get some good IT people hired. Anything to do with electronics seems to throw them and it lets the rest of the show down badly.

    When is Doherty playing this week in Belfast? The Live scores and Match scores and schedule is now difficult to follow on the world snooker website.

    Tomorrow vs Burns.

    I use the Sofascore app (for all sports). Really good little app.

    Comfortable win for Aaron Hill earlier. He is certainly closing in on a top 64 slot the way he is going now. Without relying on the one year list.

    Good win for Jordan Brown against Robertson too. Robertson not having the best of form recently.

    17 year old Stan Moody is starting to win matches now too. Currently closing out the win on Rod Lawlor. In a real clash of the generations.

    Murphy v Fu, mental decider.

    Has hill the ability to become a top 32 or 16 player ? He had a good run in China as well . Would be great to see a young Irish lad challenging for an odd tournament .

    Time will tell. The vast majority of players now take time to season and mature. Like Trump, Brecel, Robertson.

    A Jimmy or Hendry or Ronnie won't turn up and start blasting away the top players like those did from 1980-1992. I think the game itself has changed.

    McGill using a carbon fibre cue. I wonder what they’re like to play with

    Young McGuigan was on the brink of the win there. And McGill hands it straight back to him.

    McGuigan two up with three to play and McGill needing three snookers to tie. Fist pumps from McGuigan. McGill wims the frame on respotted black and takes the next two to win the match.

    He played great but lesson learned.

    Into the last 16, probably play Lisowski there but another good run in Northern Ireland for Hill

    Matt Selt fairly losing the plot in his match with Lisowski. The head gone like a club player.

    Young Moody also into the last 16 tommorow which is a great week for him.

    He seems to be tactically quite good which is somewhat unusual for a young player. He seemed to struggle to score heavily in single visits but that has changed recently. I would say the signs are good for him.

    Selt looked like he was off his head in coke to be honest. He was all over the shop.

    Lovey player, then his concentration lapses. I think he 2nd guesses himself too much. He’ll definitely improve on that.

    Lisowski looking solid at the moment. Hope Aaron gets an opportunity to shine.

    I see Three Cues is out. Switched briefly to his second cue, before returning to the first cue, then losing the match. He should probably drop this nonsense now before it becomes a problem.

    Consecutive QF and last 16 appearances, promising. No shame in losing to Lisowski, hopefully he keeps this up.

    Top Trump comeback from 1-4 down. Great shot making at times to keep breaks going.

    Was down there earlier in the week. She was in my hotel. Never quite worked out who she was.

    Lisowski will never win a tournament, seems to be only able to play one way.

    The 7 frame run by Judd put it away.

    Certainly having a great season so far. Keeps this up and he would have to get his 2nd World title. But still plenty of twists and turns before all that.

    Unfortunately Hill and Ken have been drawn against each other in the Scottish Open qualifiers, next Tuesday.


    I’ll be rooting for Hill, hopefully keeps his good run going.
