I actually only watched it from 0-60 in the last frame; this thread dragged me away from half-watching Bourne Identity on ITV2 with the missus. (Pam & I once spent three consecutive 65-hour weeks at work coordinating subtitles in 40+ languages for the 13 elements of the Supremacy DVD; it was so stressful we started to feel like we were Jason Bourne. So we've always meant to watch the original. But not at the expense of the snooker.)

wotta a game, easily up there w/some other masters finals over the years (hendry-williams finished on the black too, hendry-mcmanus a decade ago) - apparently these two will be scheduled to meet in the QFs of the world championships and that is a total shame.

Anyway, awesome n'all - totally happy Hendry is gone.
Apart from Higgins going out its all been predictable and one-sided so it ws good to see a thriller that finally get this championship on the move, so to speak.

The other really gd game is Doherty-Stevens (8-8), playing to a conclusion later on.
― Julio Desouza (jdesouza), Monday, 24 April 2006 10:57 (eighteen years ago) link
yeah but this is different because the white went in-off. so the black technically wasn't potted and hence it is respotted.
what i didn't get was another one, the ken doherty game last night(?) - it was 55-55 on points with a black to play. ken doherty missed the black altogether and the other guy was awarded the frame (matthew stevens?) and i didn't understand why.. or maybe ken conceded? surely they can still play for a re-spot.

(the in-off in the Hendry game resulted in level points, that's why it was respotted - otherwise the black can only be scored once, whether potted or fouled)

As for what happened last night: from the commentator's explanation its in the rules that if you don't hit the black in that situation the frame is automatically lost. xp = ok so yeah level points.
There ws a story a cpl of years that he converted but apparently he just went to a mosque and the story snowballed.

Last night, in the pub, as soon as the Barcelona v AC Milan game was finished, some bloke was haranguing the bar staff to turn over to the BBC interactive service so he could watch the snooker. So I guess someone does.

Anyway, Graeme's off his dot early this morning and has opened up an 11-8 lead over the Rocket. Ronnie's missing sitters. his "change your tip every time you play a shot" strategy seems to be backfiring.

He's long potting has been somewhat lacking throughout the tournament and it was only a matter of time before that spread to the rest of his game. xp
