Me too <ok>

After all Dale is involved in the longest frame ever isn't he... against Harold I think.


That was Murphy v Harold in the China Open wasn't it? 93 minutes


No, think the record has been broken recently, 1 or 2 years ago, it's now 94 minutes, Dale v Harold I'm almost sure.

Dom and Harold beat it last year in the qualifiers, can't remember which. Think it was 98 or 99 minutes long.

Edit: It was the 2013 World Open last 48.

Surely must be a coincidence.


He's such an attacking player that all the grinders try to slow him down.

Good question, Cliff or Griffiths should have been the ones :grrr:

At least they have the latest Crucible finish, something close to 4 a.m <laugh> The match where Cliff made the 147.

13-1? <laugh> Never thought Dale would be capable of such a heavy defeat, must have been something really wrong with Gray there, almost a whitewash in a Best of 25!

David Gray was one of the most infuriating players ever. Unbelievably talented but his temperament was awful. Lost 13-2 to Ebdon in 2006 as well

I said better, not best. With some of the poor performances that's not saying much.

lol, Ronnie made 5 tons in that match didnt he? And still lost 10-9, must have been a good match I think, but in a way I'm glad I was young at the time so didn't watch that <laugh>

If it were on Youtube tough I would definately watch it, but dont think anyone has it :shrug:

Dotty once missed the entire pack of reds from his break off shot, remember it very well, a match against Michael Judge at the Welsh Open.

And if Dom wins here, he again will meet a player who caused a huge upset. Same outcome?

That's a very vague pattern. Maybe you should leave it to the likes of Alex or me?
