Was thinking about it myself but it looks like I'm being hounded to make a return to super league.
Salford City Reds or Wigan Warriors?
I'm not really built for that game.

Fair point

jj will be shocked.

Saying that, Drago is staging a little comeback. Has won the first 3 frames today and has put 41 points on the board in the next frame too. Currently 5-7.

Luca Brecel on the verge of a complete and utter breakdown beating Barry Pinches.

Wonder if he lives on the second floor?

EDIT - win confirmed 10-3

Post by **Snakehipsx2** » Tue Apr 10, 2012 7:07 pm

Two good wins for Brecel against established players, the fucker looks about 12 in his photo on WS.

How did Drago do in the end? Can't check at mo, still not home!

Luca Brecel has another biggish name in Michael "Shakes like a shitting dog on telly" Holt. Holt is the Mark Walsh of the snooker world away from the cameras so if he gets past this I'm going Karl Munro on him for the WC.

Jimmy White 9-8 up.

Post by **The Ginge Reaper** » Thu Apr 12, 2012 10:50 pm

would have been nice to see the nugget at the crucible.

ebdon was at our club again on monday so i have become somewhat of a supporter.

Post by **The Ginge Reaper** » Fri Apr 13, 2012 8:27 am

To fill in the gap in the above, Morris bear McManus last night.

No play today.

could be a record number of chinese this year looking at that.

marcus campbell has been around a while now, if he is the guy im thinking of he used to have the voodoo sign over hendry for a while in the early 90s.

Was thinking that last night too. Also, 5 of the 16 players who won in the last round started at the beginning, so a few scalps along the way (according to seeding, of course).

I have decided to go on Sunday afternoon to watch these matches draw to a conclusion

55) Stephen Hendry v Yu Delu
57) Marco Fu v Joe Jogia
58) Mark King v Luca Brecel
59) Marcus Campbell v Liang Wenbo

Would certainly cause a stir if he won, a new nationality at the Crucible?

Brecel had fun getting out of a snooker in the 18th frame last night
