Has the English Open been live on Freeview all week?

Had no idea, flicking through the channels and the second semi is live on Dmax, ch 39!

They only show the afternoon sessions during the week and then the evening as well when it comes to the semi-finals and final.

Very one sided first session of the final, Yize didn't seem to settle in his first ranking final. Hope he plays better this evening, even if he has very little chance of winning.

Uff, I was rooting for him to squash Robbo. He came very close but didn't quite manage it. Great watch this evening though.

New week, new tournament live, this time ITV 4 for British Open.

Now Kyren Vs Leclerq.

Mark Williams knocked out earlier in shock 4-1 defeat.

Yeah, I don't know what was going on with Willo's cue. As Stephen Hendry mentioned, it was making a totally weird sound striking the cue ball.

Loose tip or ferrule possibly.

Sad news; Clive Everton has died; always liked him as a commentator - RIP

I always remember Jill and Neal laughing at Clive getting his sleeve in his curry on their first ever ITV snooker broadcast.

Just seen Slessor beat Kyren and Jak Jones beat Brecel last night, while Allen made a maximum yesterday afternoon before beating Wakelin 4-3 at 0130...

These best of 7 matches, with two matches in a day, are ruthless!

I’m rooting for Oli Lines. I don’t think he’s ever been this far in a tournament before.

A role model of what a commentator should be and 70+ years experience of the game. Treated like crap by the bbc because of his age and dumped.

RIP

Funny story about him almost strangling Taylor.

Ha, he's only gone and done it. John Higgins v Oliver Lines tomorrow afternoon!

 

[ic1male]

This is probably going to be a 6-0 drubbing.

 

[chrismscotland]

Best I've seen Higgins play in a long time

 

[UTmaniac]

Selby playing spectator sport friendly snooker for a change in a good quality match win against Allen, Higgins in final tomorrow.

RIP Clive Everton.

Loved listening to your commentary.

 

[chrismscotland]

Very high quality in the first session here

 

[chrismscotland]

Great win for Selby; looked pretty much unbeatable in that final session; nice to see Higgins back to some kind of form as well; losing his cue seems to have done him so good; maybe fired up by losing his top 16 Ranking last weekend as well!

I do get why Selby plays "granite" snooker a lot of the time but when he lets loose he is so watchable, hardly a part of his game that is weak.
