Qualifiers start tomorrow morning at 1000, 2 tables, BO7s. Looks like there's more structure than roll-on, roll-off, start times for the remaining tranches given as 1300, 1600, 1900.
Tom Ford v Dylan Emery & Craigie v Dean Young look the most interesting of tomorrow's fare, though Ricky is massively underperforming this season. Peng Yisong is dangerous but is just as likely to dish up 3 massive chances for every frame he nails.

2-2 Judd barring snookers
3 on the spin for Judd. Judd being quite slack, but Xiao's arse is flapping like a barn door in a gale.
Robbo misses very makeable match balls twice, LTT takes his second chance to force a respot.
4-3 JOC. He's playing really well again, like the JOC of 3 or 4 seasons ago.

Jamie J gets the snooker and a free ball and can now win the frame. Pink difficult on the side.
Nails it! And the black. Punches the air and goes out for a slash. He's going to feel invincible! 3-3
Theppy wins a protracted W after Jamie J got a start. 4-3 Theppy.

Unbelievable feck up from Selby, great break from Jack to steal, 3-2 Selby
Hossein's laid some cracking snookers but so far Cabby has hit them all.

Cabby finally misses one but Hossein needs another.
Jack REALLY unlucky to pot a red to the middle going into the pack of the black

Hossein misses the last red and stick it, 4-3 Cabby.
3-1 Licky.

someone still wants to back Hossein Vafaei at 100/1 even though match is over free money for someone

Surprised BF are still to settle it! I'd already closed it down.
Absolute shocking attitude from craigie, will get fined and fully deserves to.He broke off in the last frame by smashing the reds all over, and in the previous frame with i think a 53 point lead was in my opinion chucking the cue at anything, even though having a poor run of the ball you expect better,especially as he played so well last week.
Oh, blimey, MP! It felt like I was spread quite thin all night and missed a lot of that! I did see him make a red leave the table, but assumed that was an isolated incident!
That's the second concession in the last two weeks, Dave being the first. I've not seen anything about any punishment for him yet, but it is REALLY bad for the game, and at a time where interest in dwindling amongst the young, it's the last thing the sport needs.

BFLV has slowed down to Eurosport speed since the last frame here!!!

BFLV has slowed down to Eurosport speed since the last frame here!!!
I find BFLV to always be generally the same as Eurosport? (sometimes a fraction in front, sometimes a fraction behind.
It seems strange that we experience a difference?

BFLV is generally a couple of seconds in front for me, but they definitely dial it back and forth. It was parity again at the business end of that frame, pre-respot
Judd has been fecking awful this frame, TBH.
Well done, Theppy!
Well done, Theppy!
Judd sums it up pretty succinctly and accurately: "I had so many chances.... Shocking...."
Had to go out for a few hours. Wow, 4 on the spin for Cabby!
Wonderful chance for Licky to steal blown with a routine brown missed badly and stuck. 3-1 JOC.
4-1 Robbo
4-1 Robbo
Great stuff, JOC, 5-1.
Theppy plays Cabby, JOC plays Robbo. Probably not too many names there most people would have fancied!

What a pot that is into the green pocket from Cabby!
Mixed bag so far from each!
Mixed bag so far from each!
Theppy playing like a mad man. All over the shop with some of these shot selections!
Christ knows how either would cope in the final, TBH! Not exactly high-grade so far!
Some of the worse snooker I've seen at this stage all season! Though Theppy playing well this frame.
Halfway towards a max, would be ironic if he got it considering!
Is that three proper buckety ones this frame for Cabby?
Cabby breaks down on virtual match ball and sticks a red. Theppy clears, 5-4 Cabby.
I am not sure I have EVER seen a better clearance to steal than that, take a bow, JOC. Exceptional. Leads 4-3.
since when did JOC become such a mental giant, Lats?
and how did Ronald manage to lose to Gary Wilson earlier in the week?
some performance tonight, take a bow JOC! The final we all predicted at the start of the week!
Wonderful, wonderful performance! In the face of three Robbo tons.
Toadie! Toadie! long time no see. I'm back from Doha now

He's been brilliant all week, Wise.
yo wisey, great to see you mate, how was doha? you watch the mighty wales mate? hope you had a good one
he was absolutely fantastic from what I saw tonight. well done JOC!
Should be an interesting final. Both score similarly. They've never met before. HUUUUUUUUGE occasion for each.
Doha was hot! especially compared to the UK weather in December. yup went out to watch our World Cup matches; our first World Cup in 64 years!! Qataris very welcoming and enjoyed myself despite our poor results (especially the Iran match)
So, not the final any of us would have predicted, but it's impossible to argue against either player not fully deserving to be there:
Cabby has beaten: Ronnie, Hossein, Kyren and Theppy
JOC has beaten: Speccy, Ding, MJW, Licky and Robbo
Cabby has scored 17x 50s in 38 frames played, converting 5 into BTs
JOC has scored 16x 50s in 35 frames played, converting 3 into BTs
Cabby is scoring very slightly better over the course of the season, but it's negligible.
The players have never met previously.
Cabby has played in two finals before, losing both.
JOC has never played in a final.
I was super impressed with JOC last night (as I have been all week). The composure he showed in the face of some brilliant Robbo scoring (and not missing!) was top class. He didn't waver in the slightest when the winning line came in sight, which he has been guilty of in far lesser games a few times in the past.
I think it's a really hard match to have a confident opinion about, given there are so many "firsts", and I can only assume the bookies are making Cabby fav on the basis he has final experience (albeit losing experience), and that JOC might have found it difficult to get to sleep last night. For me it's an absolute coin toss. Fingers crossed it delivers and nerves don't get the better of them!

Good write up Lat.
agree its a coin toss, but to me Joe looked the fresher of the two, and Cabby was rather let off the hook v Theppy a few times ...
i'm expecing some -1/10 busts in the frame betting as its that sort of match

I went out for a ride on the mountain bike this morning, and the more I thought about it, the more I came to the conclusion that if JOC replicates the form he showed last night, he's quite a comfortable winner, because of his superior safety game. Doing that is the IF, though!
Cruiseliner shot aside, a very decent start from Cabby
Great response from JOC after the howler in the first frame.
JOC does everything right apart from missing frame ball pink. Cabby steals, 2-1.
JOC has his own chance to steal one from Cabby but gets the opening shot all wrong, 3-1 Cabby mid-sesh.
JOC breaks down on 51 but Cabby can't punish this time, 3-2 Cabby.
Cabbytano's experience edge going to win it for him?
He's definitely making less errors at the moment, but it's still early.
Some massive mistakes from JOC. 5-2 Cabby.
Suggest he tries to get some kip between sessions.

Fair play, Cabby, not had to do much more than pick up the pieces so far.... No need for big shots to get in, just lots of gifts. Done his bit well, mind. 6-2 EOS.
yeah , its a long way back now for Joe but you never know with this game
Well done, Cabby. By a country mile the best player on the day. Thoroughly professional performance.
