Ronnie has been in 3rd gear through the rounds. whether or not he will have to up it is down to Allen. I reckon Allen can do it. should be a good final.0

Keep it as is Paulie.
O'Sullivan played very well today. He has slowed down a lot, but his long potting especially in the first session was clinical and his safety was very good too.0 -
Right so I will put whole of scottish open draw on here in the next 30 minutes depending on how quick i type, the rankings wont be accurate as such as World Snooker havent updated their website yet, will take a look at Matt on twitter to see if he has updated them yet and if he has use his0

The interesting thing for me in that draw with it being flat 128 is that 2 amateurs meet
Poomjaeng v Simmonds good chance for 1 of those to get to 2nd round and earn a bit.
The Scottish Open 1st round losers get nothing but if you get to last 64 its £2,500
Winner: £70,000
Runner-up: £30,000
Semi-final: £20,000
Quarter-final: £10,000
Last 16: £6,000
Last 32: £3,500
Last 64: £2,500
Highest break: £2,000
Total: £366,0001 -

I forgot to add as I expected Ronnie pulled out of the Scottish Open earlier today, so Daniel Wells will be happy a bye to 2nd round and a guranteed £2,5001

3 Amatuers remain and all 3 have a shot at winning imo
James Cahill-beat Selby at York at took Akani to a final.frame decider, had a nice victory in round 1 here and is facing Yong who beat McGill but McGill has been poor all season so that wasnt a surprise to me and I think Cahill has a chance of beati g Yong who is ranked 75th
Luke Simmonds- he is facing Yuan Sijun who is a class player on his day but I think Luke has a chance to take it close maybe to a decider and then who knows
David Lilley- brilliant win against Tom Ford who played so well at York and David who is an amatuer but has made the most of the Challenge tour and has won an event in that, he has a very tough match against Mark King but I think David could cause Mark some problems1 -
Great write up @paulie8290 , thanks!
I did catch the end of Ryan Day vs Rhys Clark, Day was 3-1 up with 2 centuries and 90 break but went down to the decider. Why i mention this is Rhys Clark is 24 has been playing since 11ish (cant remember exactly) but already said he is going to retire from snooker at a young age, was really willing him to win yesterday. I like Day but shame someone in their early/mid twenties is going to call it a day, this kind of contradicts the fact the tour is more open to lower ranked players.
Any thoughts?0 -
Yeah Rhys has said he has fallen out of love with the game, Barry Hearn made a good comment last week which I think relates to this well, its brutal down the bottom of the rankings and only those with will and those who want it will survive.johnnybev1987 said:Great write up @paulie8290 , thanks!

I actually agree with Barrys statement, you dont want players who are just plodding along, you want players who want to be the best they can be and put the effort in and yes it is brutal down the bottom and you grt no money if you lose in the 1st round, but if you want to progress you put the practice hours in.
Last season Rhys won 1 outbof 15 matches he played, this season he has only entered 4 competitions so far and won 1 match, he has said he doesnt practice anymore either and he only entered this event as he lives 30 minuted from venue.
Whilst I agree you dont want to see a 23 year old fall out of love with the game, I also think desire has alot to do with it and you dont want people on the tour with no desire.
Ask anyone on the challenge tour and they would say they would swap with Rhys in a heartbeat, players who play in these small events are desperate for a place in the tour and a chance to make it big.
Rhys has alot of talent, he showed that yesterday against Day and I would love for him to change his mind as long as he putd the hours in and fully commits.0
