UK Championship

Starting shortly...

On Higgins outright for this at 14's, read somewhere that he is targeting this & I don't think the standard set by Robertson, Murphy et al is insurmountable if he can get his **** together. If he if going to mount a serious bid to return to the summit, it must be this year.

He has a right chance Neil. I have a few quid on himself. Main bet was Trump.

Done the business without any scares today. Carter suffering badly with the Chromes again. He has some rotten luck with his health. Deserves any luck he gets on the baize.

Excellent start Callit.

Mark Allen is big at 1.57 against Martin Gould in todays 1pm game, and worth a bet at that.

Gather Everton are at full-strength away at Boro in the cup tonight, they've shortened a bit but 2.66 is still value I think. Class edge and that plus their pace and power.

Ooops,
Thailand's Thepchaiya Un-Nooh misses the black that would have given him a 147 break and a prize of £44,000 at the UK Snooker Championship in York
Un-Nooh.....his name says it all



ROLL ON THE HIGGINS CHOO CHOO (on at 16,14&11's + in various accums).

Some cracking shots in that 140 (shoulda coulda woulda 147) break too...including the last red...Such a shame...Shades of Ken Doherty's missed black at the Masters

No mercy from Neil Robertson, follows up Un-Nooh's 140 with a brilliant 145.
...Robertson rounds off with a 6-2 win over Thepchaiya Un-Nooh!

Higgins out in a baize of glory - "I had chances in the final frame but didn't take them. He deserved to win." - Higgins on 6-5 loss to Robertson.

How is snookerpunter's tips going?
He had Trump and he mentioned a bet on Higgins, Mark Allen was another but as sure as night follows day he will have backed the winner. More than likely it will be aftertimed. Good luck snookerpunter.
