Tell me about it
I have shift work, so now just unlucky to be forced to work mornings..and every day of this week
But i like my shifts, at least on the moment when i have 8 days off in a row
More twists and turns in this one, Ebbo looks to be able to take it. You heard it Solly, a RECORD lenghth frame at the crucible.
Peter missed the green by a mile, throwing lots of shoulder in there. This frame is taking alot out of both players, this will be a battle of stamina.
Ok guys, i'm outta here. Must sleep a bit before waking up. And this bloody game is just twisting around, but again it looks to go for Ebdon.
Ebdon takes it! 12-15
ebdon wins this record 74min frame with 65-59 even almost didnt win, as he had a kick on the last pink still needing black to win, but ebdon wins again.. and closing the gap. 12-15 the score in frames.
they took a brake, and GOD plz will u put some redbull in there glasses....
next frame: dott plays a weird safety spreading all the reds all over the table. ebdon can get to one and is in controle now. score 8-0 for ebdon and he is in for a break i think. mmm ive seen this before... is this a 147? ok only 2 reds potted but still... i dont rememeber if its still on, but if it is... mm it might be a 147
but ofc im dreaming ...

Ebdon at 61, certainly no scrappy frame. Ebdon is now favorite in my book. Ebdon seales it 13-15! Solly you mentioned something about betting on Dott.....glad I didn't! Looks like another century, that frame din't break Ebdon rhythm. Little mindgame from Ebdon there, asking the referee what the highest break of the tournament is. No century for Ebdon.

hehe well his % where better odds. i always like the underdog
BUT, its still along task. ive seen comebacks but most fail just before the finishing line. But i hope so more fun to watch.
13-15 for ebdon
ebdon fails to touch a red, even when he was not snookered. giving dot a chance to get into the break but he misses. seemed to be the start of something nice, but wasnt, back to safety play now. all reds open no clusters at all. colours on spot. all colours free in any pocket, and cb tight vs the cussion. ebdon to play..he misses and leaves cb in middle of the table. it should be a century AT least now for dot.. Perfect all open exercise table

15 - 13!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
break of about 80 there, and he's flowing nicely! Come on Peter!

Strange safety from Ebdon leaving Dott a half chance. He makes it! And runs out of position. break of 4 won't impress Ebdon. Dott has to hit a red here, or he will lose the frame. If you can see both sides of a red you have to make contact within three tries or you will lose the frame. Now a real chance for Graeme, if he can't produce now it's all over I'm afraid. He's playing very tentatively, not one good position so far break at 15.
Now at 23, now in good position. Longish red made, good on the black. Break at 44, again longish red. Break at 58, three balls required. Run out of position badly for frame ball. Safe played, score 74-8 67 available. Dott one red away from a frame. Ebdon at the table, red potted needs blacks with all of them.
Score 74-16, Graeme missed twice for the frame. Bad roll for Ebdon, scratches in the middle, 13-16.....now who's favorite.

52 ahaid 58 on the table/ dott still looking fine
end of break at 72. ebdon now taking his chances. 16-74 score, 58 behind and 59 available. but ebdon misses a middistand red. dott misses the red ball too needing only a red. ebdon goes for a touch shot, makes it but scratches!!!! and gives up the frame
sad for ebdon. that shot was worth more then a scratch
13-16 frames
aargh, how did dott miss that clip in red?!! why didnt he play it cussion first, max inside english and pot it.. now he missed red, scratched and left a chance for peter. peter makes a 31 break. score: 35-1 and safety has begon. bad safety and ebdon pots a nice longballl to get in control again of the table. nice field. should be to hard to get enough points to win with whats left open on the table. but misses, some safety's,some mini breaks, some scratches. 67-17 for peter who is on the table again but misses on his colour. safety game again...

Boy I'm getting sleepy, hope I can reach the end. I had a friend over, he's just left.
Good chance for Peter, break at 15 prime position. Peter at the table for teh second time, score 62-0 tough position. He missed. More than enough available for Graeme. Peter wins the frame 16-14

At precisely midnight Peter Ebdon has pulled another one back to make it 16 - 14. It's getting exciting!
this is cooler for the match to watch.
my 0.02c 14-17 15-17 16-17 16-18
aargh dott, misses red, leaves it over the corner pocket, and cb scratches. ebdon in with a easy starter red in the corner.... hes on the blue ready to go in the pack or pot the opened reds first... interesting. 0-1for ebdon. aargh he misses a plant, leaves it in the pocket? dott pots it, but misses black, abdon back at the table. incredible dott missed a black basic on its spot pot. Oo ebdon on the black. ebdon with a small break. he's leading 37-1. with enough reds to play with... dott has been sitting with his eyes closed for some time.. ebdon has a tigerlook on his face. u can see him bite. yesss finally some excitement.
ebdons break ends at 61-1 after he plays a very weird kiss on a red, blocking everything on its path. he had to play a safety..

Ebdon ran out of position, good safety. Score 61-1 Dott makes a great plant, more than enough available.
One difficult red on the long rail, Dott needs a full clearance. Break at 27 good position on the last red, can he make it? Yes! He needs the colors for a 17-14 lead. Good on the pink, he's got it! now the black......yes! 17-14!!

dott made a FANTASTIC longpot plant, and now in the leadingpost on the table again. one problem red ball, but all the rest is easy. Should he make it ? could be a turning for him to win a frame from 60 behind!! and he does!!!!
damn that was amazing that break.!! dott made a huge sound when poting the last black. crown goes crazy. ahaaa loving every bit of itt. GREATH match.
14-17 now in race to 18!!.
bad safety from dott. red double kisses and leaves an easy opener for ebdon. he takes it and is now in controle. he loses controle after only potting 9pts. poor safety from him but dott fauls on the pink incredibaly. and ebdon back at the table but misses the pot. back to dott his turn.

Dott's just made it 17 - 14 now with one of the best pressure clearances you'll ever see. He needs just one more frame whilst Ebdon needs the lot - which are the remaining four.
