Kyren knocking some cracking long balls. Shame he's not as reliable with close balls.

Yes, for example, I know that you fell out of bed this morning on all four sides. I'm not sure how you did it, because it's quite hard to achieve, but I know you've broken your own record and it's put you in the best possible mood.

There is more chance of Wasley winning the lottery than winning this tournament.

Anybody watching on Eurosport? They are bantering about a format change next year. Said there's rumours.

The BBC aren't even showing it are they?

Yep, Barry is going to play round robin. He's only a small bird, but Barry is giving him a wildcard because off his little red breast.

Maybe you should learn to write before insulting the intelligence of others.

What rumours? Given a journalist will probably have a source in the meeting details will be out before the morning papers go to press.

I'm calling 128 (which I bloody hope doesn't happen) and wildcards granted (which I again bloody hope doesn't happen).

128 would be the death of the World Championship. It would destroy everything.

This will be the last World Championship as we know it.

The dartsification of snooker will be complete next year.

Are they not? I had it on the website, and have now changed to Eurosport.

That wasn't really the bit I expected you to concentrate on....

I was already thinking of giving next year a miss.

Can't wait for polo tops and best of 5s.

Well you can hardly call Hearn changing the World's format a rumour as he outright said that he was going to announce a change on Wednesday.

Ffs, I hope it's that inconsequential. Who cares what the players are wearing? It's not a fashion show.

If they cut the length of WC matches I'll be dreaming of assassinating Barry Hearn with a snooker cue, snooker is a long match game. When you get down to Best of 7s or 11s there's much more luck involved.

I'd like to see a worlds with L32 25 frames L16 33 frames QF 45 frames SF 59 frames F 75 frames.

To be honest I think there would be an outcry if he allowed players to wear trackies and t-shirt to tournament matches.

Kyren closes to 8-7. Let's see how Ricky reacts...

Not from me, there wouldn't. I couldn't give a stuff.

Wilson reduces to 8-7

I now give him a chance of winning the match again, even if Walden makes it 9-7.

Walden too is not exactly the greatest player under pressure has to be said.

Michael Holt beginning to bottle it already.

Is Ricky choking?

Robertson looks like he has a bye into the semis the way Allen and Trump are playing.

As long as they still wear shirts of some description, I'm alright.

He'll get that big 100, you see if he doesn't.

You don't know that until Robbo starts playing. he could end up being crap as well.

I don't think Hearn will cut the lenght of the WC matches. Mark Allen said on twitter it would be terrible to shorten the WC matches, and Hearn answered "don't worry Mark".

Walden showed good bottle against barry at the masters

Everyone saying he's dartifying the WC is wrong, he never touched the WC's in darts and left them firmly intact with long matches.

He did state he wouldn't touch the crown jewels, now whether or not he keeps his word is yet to be seen.
