[Randall]

first four frames, four centuries!

[DrZoidberg]

ronnie wins 9-7. great match, from what i saw of it.

[DrZoidberg]

welsh open has started today.

its on the red button if your not from wales. im watching judd trump scud fergal obrien 4-0.

[DrZoidberg]

ding pumped mark davis 4-0 this morning, which means ronnie is definitely qualified for the worlds, as 13th seed.

Incorrect. He is only 15th at the moment, he would have to win a few matches to go as high as that and hope others lose.

In theory he could go as high as 11th, but may go down to 16th.

Finishing 15th will result in him being in Selby's section. 16th and he lands in Higgings section.

the foreign welsh bastards just put up a graphic of the top 16 as it is just now. their all safe and they had ronnie in 13th position.

Those are the current rankings that take into account Ronnies 2010 Welsh Open performance (2,500 points) which of course gets knocked off this week, and replaced with the points from this week.

3 pretty big shocks so far.

granted first to 4 isnt much of a test but hendrys win over the aussie is surprising over any distance.

i was watching that. hendry went 2-1, and then they left it, even on the red button, to show the BBC Sport logo instead. cunts!

[Randall]

ronnie won 4-1 against the home favourite today, hendry lost 4-0 to allan.

[DrZoidberg]

maguire beat stevens 4-2 aswell. allen hasnt dropped a frame this week.

[DrZoidberg]

ronnie 2-1 against trump. a century each.

[DrZoidberg]

i've never seen a jammier prick than trump. gets so much run of the ball.

[DrZoidberg]

2-2 at the break.

[Randall]

ronnie gone 3-2 up.

this would be a useful donkey to get off his back.

[Randall]

my last was clearly meant to say monkey, no idea why i had equine thoughts in my head!

[DrZoidberg]
