Allen v King

He'll win but king will keep it to maybe 10-6 10-7 , is the handicap -3 frames

That guy in the black and green stripes and his father are at it every year all be it wearing the exact same clothes it's weird lol

And in the same seats lol

I spoke to him when I was there, he has a season ticket for those seats and won't give it up.

Handicap is Allen -3.5

Good luck everyone

Ya My mate was on to him he comes every year for a few years this was in 2010 tho. Y has he been asked to give it up? Hey I'm considering a large stake on Higgins to overturn his 3 frames, he's a slow starter in these ,wud have to go back 10-12 years since he was last ko'd in the opening round

allen playing well lol

messed up every shot so far

No I mean if he doesnt renew it he will lose it forever, and they are good seats for every session.

He's still 5 for this Frame, good odds king won't finish up now

He's right not to airbag

Allen's safety horrific this first frame

he obviously agreed to lose 1st frame

Fixed he told his mates he'd let allens odds drift out for the first frame and miss easy reds,so poor this so far

Allen won't be enjoying this type of game.

Not that I'm bothered but why isn't Ebdon v Dott available to stream ? Have bbc red got it even? Allen isn't a cert here at all,king could frustrate the **** out of him unless he gets in amongst the balls and settles properly

allen was awful in that first frame , was all over the shop

He'll get this frame now surely

The pistol better start playing better from now on , cos if he continues to play like he did in the first frame he'll lose this match , needs to win a frame in one visit , like now

Ebdon v Dott on red button,its great stuff too! Looking like 6-4...life in it yet.

Ah right . 365 no coverage on stream

Thought beeb would put the match thats finishing on.

Taxi for Allen!

that fluke on the blue was outrageous !

Sniper down frame 2

Are BBc showing just morning and night sessions now?? In oz so not aware ,I heard ronnie match was shown at 10am live tho on terrestrial. Allen needs this 3rd frame to settle down. I don't think he needed to attempt that cut into the blind pocket he had a red at the edge of the cluster to take on

bbc red button coverage showing all sessions this week luke , and streams of both tables are shown on the bbc website ( not sure u can get that in oz though ? ) ,bet365 are showing all matches at the crucible

On red button for next 2 weeks.Will be showing a game each morning/afternoon/evening on terrestrial but will be cutting off early so will see how it works.Only one game showing on red button at the mo.

the beeb used to show a choice of both tables on the red button , throughout the whole tournament , the beeb's first 2 days coverage was very poor tbh , but at least we have some red button action now

Ive been looking on Red Button but so far found no snooker :o  Using Eurosport and online.

Never used to be live on terrestrial in the mornings

On red button now.

It was years ago I heard late 80s and and early 90s. No bet365 haven't a stream on my iPad anyways

'Another one'

This is shocking quality tbh.

Very scrappy and that suits King imo. Aleen has never liked mornin sessions though, he's a lazy little bugger. Expect a different standard from him this evening after a rest and a bellyful of grub.

he's a lazy little bugger

Let's hope Allen wakes up tonight.

if allen plays like he can he will wipe the flor with king,but IF is a big IF

So Allen shortened about 5 ticks between going 5-5 and 6-5?!?

Allen was yawning in the morning when he was introduced... and now he shows what tactics he's learned from Robbo on time wasting tactics...breaking his glass

dott and ebdon might not get back till 11.30ish pace these games are going

should be some late night ebdon antics then

then if their match goes the distance we might be here at 2 in the morning !

If King loses this frame I fear it will kill his challenge , will be very demoralising for him if he don't win it now

yep , goodnight king , a big body blow this

if he wins it

ballbreaker for king that frame

king looked like a man whos swallowed his bo $locks after that

And the 1.01 frame backers
1.01     £2,200           £6,746
1.02                  £5,567
1.03                  £2,322

but allen is one clever cookie round a snooker table,knows every trick

have u noticed that someone is laying all the frame betting markets with lays of 1000 @ 1.01, 1.02 and 1.03 both sides in every match ? not a bad strategy that , i bet he's making good money whoever's doing that

big miss

This is becoming a real slog.

I think Allen's in trouble here.

oh well handicap bust. very turgid stuff but could be a tense finish

ebdon/dott match to resume on the other table

Wouldn't mind seeing Allen get beaten here. He's one of those players who at times seems to think the game's played on paper.

cant believe allen will lose this

Mark Allen has to be one biggest ****s ever

Can't believe he's going to lose this match

got to go 9-9 cant have king winning this without a fight

On the evidence of the last few frames, King should be about 1.4 here.

I can Allen safety game has been woeful an his potting not great

King seems slowly be getting rub of green too

Did not see this coming

i backed allen 1.2

I didn't give as much back at 1.1 as I should have done....  Should have got what I lost on the Higgins match back and instead am going to get about a third of it....

allen losing to king

did higgins lose today

chance for allen

anyone here

These people are in all markets across all sports.

Any live stream for the snooker?

Good riddance to you

WTF

Typical Allen

Butchers another chance, deserves to lose

Allen was very poor

Fair play to King, played good snooker after that blow losing the frame Allen needed 3 snookers

Just like everyone else I have backed so far Allen looked tired, jaded, burned out.
Dotty got me out of trouble but that looked doubtfull for so long.
I think some long seasons are beginning to show.
My last throw of the dice is ding and you know what usually happens there
