Way too easy for Jones. Scored decent but could just sit back and wait for Mags to hand him a chance.

did anyone think Maguire would win that match? He always loses first round when seeded

Jokes aside, I thought all players stayed in Sheffield, or at least the North, for the duration of the tournament?
No. I think it was like that last year. But not now.
I think players usually nip back between the First Round and Second Round, particularly if they are in the early matches (i.e. finishing by Monday) or are in the late starting Second Round games. Last year they had a bubble at one of the hotels in Sheffield.

Just check the prediction contest. I was one of them. I figured the law of averages menat he would play well for a change. He really is a punter's nightmare. You shouldn't even back him with counterfeit money.

I've only got round to watching a few dozen in lockdown. Can be hard to sit through an entire movie at times.

Should I begin with the current series, or would you recommend going back to the very beginning?

From the beginning.
Each series has a unique story with a beginning, middle and end, but also contains a continuous conspiracy plot-line that runs through all of them with many recurring characters and references. A bit like the X-Files but set in a police station.

https://wst.tv/thunder-storms-to-beat-liang/“Over the last seven or eight years, in probably five of those I’ve blitzed through the first two rounds and everyone has been putting my name on the trophy. I’ve maybe relaxed a little bit, expected to win and thought that my opponent couldn’t possibly beat me over 25 frames. Coming here, I’m just ignoring all of that and playing the game on my terms. It is important I make players worry about playing me, rather than letting them dictate the pace of play.”
Maybe Robbo has finally realised that having a great first week doesn't mean much, it's only one week, and the tournament is 2 weeks long. Might be his year? Hope he meets ROS in the Final.

As others have said, defo back from the start.
I watched it all in about 2 weeks before the first episode of the new series. Absolutely gripping tele.

When can Higgins meet Ronnie? The semi-finals?
Providing he stops playing like a dipstick and wins this, of course.
