Well done Mark Allen, i actually won a snooker handicap tourney last year when i was semi drunk. Ex had left me the week before and i had the mother of all benders, next day a couple of warm up frames with my mate and i couldn't pot a ball. I went on to say i'll probably win it now knowing me, was on fire all day knocking all the long ones in and doing what i had to whether starting 21 ahead or 21 behind, although still people thought i was a bandit but i played surprisingly well considering and carried on drinking throughout the day.
I should add the German Masters qualifiers have been going on which is were Judd achieved this, but I couldnt be bothered doing updates for a million qualifiers haha so just thought I would just write who qualified after the qualification was over
@johnnybev1987 how was it, whats the atmosphere like now they have music in between frames and are u at the evening session as well
Was really good thanks mate, enjoyed it. Not alot of room if you are 6ft + which all me and my 3 mates are but still was good atmosphere, get to see my numero uno Ronnie.
Mixed match from Ronnie he wasn't really firing (although he ended up getting a couple centuries), the first frame he gave away 6 fouls (possibly 7) where he was getting out of a snooker and trying to clip the red to come back up to the balk line, old Ronnie would have probably give up then and gone home but he dug in and played some good stuff. The only frame i missed was the 137 as i went to the bar with my mate
Really enjoyed it and had a good day out, a few beverages before and after, enjoyed the respotted black frame at the end although didnt understand why Ronnie didnt play the snooker on the last red.
Was it just the afternoon session u did @johnnybev1987 or were u there for Ding v Lisowski as well
Just the afternoon session mate, was more than enough. I was tired anyway so with the lights sometimes i felt like my eyes were going. Watched some of the latter match in the pub and footy and Jack threw most frames away, although there was an interesting exchange with pink and black which lasted probably 15-20 mins (again he should have won)
good match so far between Hawkins and Robertson. 2 - 1 to Hawkins at the moment.
Ding did well yesterday. basically handing the Belgium 2 frames. one due to good sportsmanship on Dings part after knocking the white accidently. the other cos of missing a red three times for a safety shot.
out of interest is there anyway to see highlights of tomorrows semi final with Ronnie and Ding? been watching BBC's highlights coverage all week and its been pathetic. only showing a brief montage of the afternoons game rather than proper highlights.
6-1 Trump 1 more frame this afternoon, think this match will be decided by how both players come out tonight even if he is 7-1 down I wouldnt rule Ronnie out
Comments
Murphy went 7-6 ahead
Allen went 8-7 ahead
Then Murphy was in 1st had a horrible miss cue and Allen fluked a pink to win 9-7
And we are now 1 away from the 147th 147
All day tickets to The Masters on Wednesday 16th

They told him they wanted to go down a younger route with players who have played more recently or still playing.
Surely he could have sued them as thats ageist

Interesting that the 1st 2 matches went to final frame deciders and the 4 since then have been
6-2
6-1
6-3
6-2
Think Wilson v Trump today could go all the way to a decider
Round 1

Judd Trump 6-2 Kyren Wilson
