World Snooker Championship 2024

The less said about the last result of the day the better

Maguire beat Carter 10-7 Woohoo

Maguire's not so bad when he's beating the players I want out. Unless Haotian rallies against Tubbs, I'm going to need Maguire to take Tubbs out as well.

I would rather boil my own head than see Misery Maguire win against anyone.
If it was him v Satan I would definitely want Satan to win .

The only slight saving grace is that Carter is out but he is not the priority for me.
Get rid of Maguire and I'm generally ok.

Result:

Shaun Murphy (8) bt Lyu Haotian 10-5

A comfortable victory to progress.

Meanwhile Gary Wilson is having a mare against Stuart Bingham

Now I'm totally relying on Maguire to beat Tubbs.

I think I'd want Satan to beat Maguire if he promised me a life of debauchery. But when it comes to Carter, Tubbs or (edit)McGill (oh and Hawkins as well) I'd be supporting Maguire all the way.

Noooooooooo.
Maguire must lose.
Murphy can lose in the quarters .

I say come on David Gilbert .
Angry Farmer for the final .

Bingham leads Gary Wilson 6-3 but oh my word what a miss on the black off the spot at the end. Chance for 7-2. Terrible but amusing miss .

Well, on balance, I'm more pleased that Carter lost, and if Tubs also loses in turn, then even better. Maguire's just a hysterical choice to back, he would make Big Bob Milkins look calm.

Mark Selby did what he had to do and made it tough for O'Connor, but O'Connor eventually won a closely fought 16th frame to win 10-6

Both last year's finalists gone in the first 3 days.

Tom Ford beat Ricky Walden yesterday, which is how it should have been.

Milko 3-0 down to Pang, looking ominous. I'm reminded that Brian Trueman thought that an Old English sheepdog should have a Gloucestershire accent when he worked on Jamie and the Magic Torch.

The Robert Milkins walk on music always brings a smile . Love it .

However he trails Pang Junxu 4-5 after their opening session .

Result:

Stuart Bingham bt Gary Wilson (10) 10-5

That means seeds 1, 5, 9, 10, and 11 are all out in round one.
