Oh well, The Rocket is out too.

Thats my interest in the tournament for another year !!

Andy Hamilton - Outstanding. The bull was his friend tonight.

I fancy Beaton to bt Webster tonight. Had a single and a small treble with Barney & Lewis too.

Anyone give Dennis Ovens a chance tomorrow against Whitlock. I didnt see Whitlocks game but Ovens performed very well against Baxter last night and at first glance, 3/1 with Hills for Ovens looked value.

Fair play to Webby many have failed to recover after week to week thrashings in the Premier League but he has come out of it a better player and tactically he did it right tonight when he could easily have let Beaton get away and when he had his chances to kick on he did in style. Probably still a bit to find with the very top players but certainly moving in the right direction mentally.

The 158 checkout from Webster changed the game. All the way it was nip and tuck until that break took the stuffing out of Beaton.

Oh well back to the drawing board.... Mr Ovens !!

Has a chance...Wright should have beaten him but will Whitlock be so poor again???

Nope. It was the first round, just a case of getting through for Whitlock. I'm not too fussed that he didn't play that well. Lewis was on verge of defeat, should've lost and Taylor was pegged back so it's not unusual. I don't agree Wright should've beaten him.

I don't know who I dislike more Lewis or Keith fooking Deller - together a horrid partnership, he won one very very lucky world title, that's it and Sky cream off him for it. It's pathetic. Now he's got his own sports management company

Im still stuck on Crackpot. One minute I like the way he plays, the next when hes getting beat he looks dissinterested and throws wherever just to get out of the game.

Still, you cant blame him for making his money from the World Title.

Wright made it easier by falling to bits at the end but I guess that is why he is bottom end of the top 50 and Whitlock is top 6 but you are right qualifying is what counts and to be fair I do not fancy Ovens at those odds but would not totally right him off.

He does a good job Nicholson playing the villain because I'd like to slap him
