Better be careful. We don't want Murphy putting that weight back on.

Sounding a bit like a Doherty vs McManus second round match.

Exactly the match I thought it would be.

Brilliant tactical snooker being played here

I admire your cool

Because just like in the last 2 years it's not a young, hungry player who is causing him trouble but players who are even older than him, Hendry, M. Davis and now McManus.

I would be reeling if this would be happening to Ronnie.

It has been hard to see SO but iv kinda accepted it now. Players peak at different times and I guess Higgins was at a younger age. He is a world class player thou with a good cueing action and reading of the game so I'm not giving up hope of a return. :)

Yes old school stuff, gotta love it

call the police

fu missed a black off its spot after scoring after will in the first two frames

Whereas on the other table it's a pot fest so far

Marco Fu 2-0 Martin Gould
John Higgins 3-7 Alan McManus

Angles looking strong here. Can complete with Higgins in safety, so if Higgins can't score strongly it looks game over

Great steal from McManus to go to a 8-3 lead

ALAN

That was a tremendous clearance wasn't it, and that's 2 big clearances he's made in the match after Higgins was well in front in the frame.

8-3 now

Marco Fu 2-1 Martin Gould
John Higgins 3-8 Alan McManus

Higgins is going to go out.

Have any One Direction members been seen in The Crowd today?

We're watching a wonderful standard. This makes watching Seniors Snooker completely worthwhile.

Higgins is getting thrashed.

hmm alan

that steal will hurt alan now

alan should have won by now

8-4

if higgins wins the next frame it is game on again

John will never go down without a fight. C'mon john!!

John and Alan having a nice chat...

Looks like 9-4 is looming. I must say this is poor even by johns sagging standards.

Alan has to kill the match off as soon as possible

he actually has a point there

I dont get these millions of pounds in China thing though
most money at a Chinese event so far was 625000 pounds half of the current WC prize money

Gould with a vital steal. 4-2 instead of 5-1.

I believe it should be in China every other year. Fairs fair.

If Newport isn't big enough for the Welsh Open then how the hell is the Crucible big enough for the Worlds? The World Cup is staged in different countries on different continents each time, so I don't see why the WSC shouldn't be staged in different countries if World Snooker is truly building a world game? Traditions are fine and sometimes new traditions are necessary. Forget 900, I reckon we could put 10,000 bums on seats if promoted properly. Why not reach for the stars instead of accepting sub-standard? Because the two table set-up with a dividing wall at the Worlds is a joke. Old farts are holding snooker back.

Marco Fu 4-2 Martin Gould
John Higgins 4-9 Alan McManus

Has Ken Doherty got a chance of getting through to the Quarter Finals?

Discuss.

Different class from gouldy

I guess you must be an idiot as well then because I agree with you :p

Last time Alan McManus reached the last 16 was in 2005 and he played Ken Doherty lol


he beat Ken 13-11
