Sooky

Ding winning 5-3 against Maguire. Still not even close to being over though.

SEMI-FINALS (best of 17 frames) Fri 1330 & 1900: Ding Junhui (Chn) v Stephen Maguire (Sco) Sat 1300 & 1900: Ronnie O'Sullivan (Eng) v John Higgins (Sco) Predictions? I think that we could have an all Scottish final.

They are considering making it 15 ranking events a year instead of 6 and playing all around the world.

The UK championship started today and some games have been played but none completed. Shaun Murphy (Eng) 5-3 Gerard Greene (NI) Stephen Maguire (Sco) 4-4 Michael Holt (Eng) Mark Selby (Eng) 1-0 Jamie Cope (Eng) Mark King (Eng) 5-2 Anthony Hamilton (Eng) Ryan Day (Wal) 0-0 Liang Wenbo (Chn) Neil Robertson (Aus) 2-0 Tom Ford (Eng) All best of 17 frames so first to 9 wins

yep

This is funny

Why can't they just make it a straight knockout tournament?

Most confusing tournament ever! "Right, I'm trying to work out how Del Potro can win this third set and take Murray through with him - basically, the Brit's hopes seem to rely on Federer winning but more on that to follow. Back on court, Del Potro gets the deciding set under way with a confident hold." "It seems the only way Del Potro can win and take Murray through with him is if he wins this set on a tie-break. Anyway, nobody seems to know for sure so we may as well concentrate on the tennis and worry about that later. Del Potro holds out with ease too." "OK. I'm told that, if Federer gets to four games in this set, he and Murray are through - regardless of whether Del Potro goes on to win the match. Del Potro holds - sorry for the lack of description but I'm spending more time on my calculator than I am with my keyboard."

Them last minutes were so tense. Was so happy that that Kick taker missed. He was rubbish all night. Our defence were brilliant all the way through. First time we have beat the Aussies in 27 years

very true see how i never edited the post

I think your spot on.

same said for Russia

Role Models 8/10 UP 8/10

Just watched Billy Elliot 7/10 and Downfall About Hitlers last days when the Russians reach Berlin 9/10

Neil Robertson wins 9-4 against Ding junhui in a match which went to 4-4 but then it was all robertson.

Looking good for Robertson at th moment as he leads 5-4 and leading in this frame aswell

Robertson have taking a 1-0 lead.Its first to win 9 frames. think Ding will win any predictions?

Tonights game surely won't top the Higgins v Robertson game but im going for a Ding win though i'd prefer Mark to win.

My predictions were right: Mark Williams (Wal) 5-2 Robert Milkins (Eng) 57-66 75-51 83-24 (83) 73-30 (73) 73-4 50-78 (50) 70-65 (70, 65) Peter Ebdon (Eng) 2-5 Ding Junhui (Chn) 69-53 64-44 8-116 (107) 41-81 1-94 SEMI-FINALS (best of 11 frames) Sat 1300: John Higgins (Sco) v Neil Robertson (Aus) Sat 1900: Ding Junhui (Chn) v Mark Williams (Wal) In tommorows semi its first to 6 frames instead of 5

Its like i predicted, Williams is going to win easily but Ebdon and Ding are close.

Enjoy the games people

7pm Peter Ebdon v Ding Junhui Mark Williams v Robert Milkins predictions? im going for an easy Williams win. Though other game will be very close but i think that Ding might just nick it.

Friday’s Quarter-final draw: 1.30pm John Higgins v Mark Allen Neil Robertson v Joe Perry 7pm Peter Ebdon v Ding Junhui Mark Williams v Robert Milkins
