Exactly, just like Shaw shooting the 8 straight in to the rail. That's something I definitely would have and have done.

What could the "recent elections" possibly have to do with anyone's behavior at the MC????
dawizard is not wrong,
and florida is florida
Agreed that Sky made a blunder too getting on the wrong side of the 7...I thought Fedor would've been able to swing 3 rails for *shaky* position on the 8 (not sure if he intended to run into it).
Either way looks like there is potentially great day ahead for Team USA with arguably our best doubles pairings. A Billy win would bring the house down.

If you have to ask...
they have been way too passive. marcel told them off yesterday but overall it's too lenient. it's kind of a war zone for the refs though, not an easy task compared to US open or the sparsely populated UK open
Thanks for the video yesterday! Watching the whole day was very enjoyable.

Do you seriously think matchroom would kick spectators? I kind of doubt it.
I forget who exactly on Team USA butchered the shot, (I "think" it was Sky in this match..) but if they couldn't lag behind the 6 off that 1 ball and leave Europe completely and utterly frozen behind the 6, I have absolutely no confidence in Team USA to execute even the simplest safes, let alone getting safe behind the 9 on a shot like this. And if they sail the 9 ball bank long while drawing firmly enough to get behind the 9, that 8 is coming two rails back up table.
This is exactly what one of the commentators said. It might have been Frost. Sky shot immediately. Bad roll or whatever, Sky ended up on the wrong side of the seven ball and Gorst was put in a very tough spot.
They should have run that rack out.
I guess my area of the country is different, seems like when people engage in common activities for entertainment its not that politics don't exist but they are definitely not at the forefront when compared to normal everyday activities.
Yes, you are wrong. The recent elections have nothing to do with boisterous sports fans.
Really, now. Anyone who watches U.S. sports knows American fans can be very boisterous and sometimes obnoxious. Boston fans (like me), NY fans, Philly fans, Chicago fans ... heck, Duke basketball fans.
On the music, though, I agree. Shouldn't be so loud so often.
The difference that I've noticed is that the American fans this year don't quiet down once a player gets down on the shot.
I expect chucking a beer can on the field will still get you ejected. Right? Those Snooker refs are pretty strick.
Ask and Ye shall receive.
Last match of the day 2 Sky/Gorst vs Kaci/Alcaide
2 ball location from perspective of racker
Rack #1 US break *right wing
#2 EU break *bottom of rack
#3 US break *left wing
#4 EU break *right wing
#5 US break *right wing
#6 EU break *bottom of rack
#7 US break *left wing
#8 EU break *left wing
#9 US break *right wing
The 2 ball was in the right wing position 4 times, left wing position 3 times, and bottom of rack 2 times.
At minimum the rack isn't so random, the 2 ends up in one of only 3 places so far, I will have to keep an eye on that.
Folks,
I appreciate all of the wonderful analysis, and commentary with regards to the MC. That being said, I've had to delete a few reported comments, and the downstream comments as well. I've also had to issue a brief timeout, due to the dropping of an F-bomb (Mike's rules). Please try to keep the comments as relevant to the event as possible. I sincerely thank you for your cooperation.
Best regards
