matches on in the side tables also Lis MCU versus Drew Hughes one each cor races 2-0 up on Grant finan join is 4-2 down to Adam Griffith very nice shot by Robert Steven there opening up yellow giving them a chance watch case he can double the black it may opt to move it depending on how he is I wonder if that yellow squeezes in the red I don’t think it does well it look like it would have he’s got very fortunate where he’s missed the ball Liam probably just up to play a containing shot here yep so he’s left Robert yellow Robert’s very limited here jacking up don’t need to watch in off yet two shots to Li multiple options a lot of Pros would be deciding to just take a ball down the corner finish it buts not every per he does consider all options every single time and he’ll put him in a snooker here by looks of it that he’ll struggle to get out and that looks good to me a good effort so I think’s got two shots here and they might just up to somehow clear this bottom bag weld them in a snooker again or clear bottom bag and finish it depend on how lands and he looks as if he’s landed okay I just wonder if this top red goes cuz if it does and it looks really tight it looks as if it doesn’t if it does you fancy him just aever if it doesn’t he’ll just set them in the behind the snooker wall and that’s what he’s played he’s played a containing shot he’s not played it as well as he would have liked it gives RAB a a good bash here if he can just put some peace into it a red oh good effort good effort and I think he might have got away with it because Willam still has a bit of what to do yeah for oh and there we have a celebrity walked in Walker with talker thank there’s the chat look thank God he’s here good afternoon this microphone sounds quite loud it might well be who knows maybe I’m just screaming and shouting I walked in the building there I got a message from an official that said there was a dodgy character in the coms box I need you there as soon as possible I’ve came in and I said he is dodgy we’ve came over and tried to rip out the box but I’ve locked the doors and secured the windows how’s this match been going so far well Liam’s actually quite Scrappy actually Li played had to play multiple safety and tactical shots to to give himself the best opportunity to take the clearance but she’s done so now and um but a couple of slight ones he’s left grab a couple of blasts on the black which he wouldn’t usually do as you know but um solid enough it seems the winner of this match will have the simple task of playing Mr Mark Bole of just H as I walked in the door these guys seem to run into each other quite a lot especially Liam and Mark and I think Robert’s played Liam quite a lot I don’t think he’s played Mark too often I know he’s played him a couple of times but it looks like one of these guys are going to get a crack at them anyway looking at the score line on the other stream table Steven Ellis six D mark one Steven’s a Class Act plays in the IPA tour DAV one of the top guys up in this country not have having the best of time so far but he’s got a frame back in the board Johny MC CLA back it’s four3 now against IPA Pro Adam Griff some massive games going on Cody Reese when you look at the names it’s in this loser section Drew Hugh and Lis MCU Willam dunster Robert Steven Cody Reese DAV marus steis Adam Griffith Johnny I mean this is the losers qualification this could be the L stages of any tournament it’s just show it’s frightening frightening the think standard is ridiculous even the names the not not so much huge names are still a massive threat at this stage in the tournament it’s crazy I think definitely you’ve not got an easy draw that’s for sure looking at one of the names that sticks out to me right now Aldo McLoud Alan McLoud so Aldo’s one I’m pretty sure Aldo won the Scottish a lot of years ago Scottish championship and he um he’s been actually having a tough time on the table and he’s had a couple of good results this weekend he beat David Rin this morning who beat me last night David’s queing really really well and he’s playing Andrew MC another one who probably flies under the radar but good player he’s been playing on a lot of these when they come up here he doesn’t really get down to the tools and stuff but there definitely some some unknowns in this event that can play yeah Andre M Fe he’s had a couple of decent runs recently definitely beat sha W up sha was playing well this weekend and he’s and that’s a good win for Andrew and he’ll be taking confidence going into this losers qualification match Alan Robinson as well Andrew had a good winner over him Alan’s a he’s a I think he beat um Richard swarfield I’m sure I seen those two playing each other yesterday all I think Allan’s one of this year’s new Pros as well oh is he I didn’t I’m sure he is I’m sure he’s one of the pros I only found that out yesterday I think he finished top 16 yesterday yesterday last year sorry and yesterday I was told that he was up here as one of the pros for this weekend so he’s had a winner over Andy cros though so another another IPA Pro the amount of names that are even are not even in the last 16 or losers qualification as well was up a lot of big names put out the tournament and a couple of close ones as well G hibit who uh fighting against it in the Winner’s qualification yesterday wasn’t it yep just just you mentioned some of the names that are out some of the guys that were put out early Craig Marsh was one of them in particular and he’s one of the guys I like watching the most he is just so good when he’s in full flow he went out of this event quite early there’s also some guys I think I don’t know I just just seen Dan Davy leaving the the car part there now I don’t know if he was just taking a quick recess if he’s back on but I’ve Got a Feeling Dan might dster beat Dan ear on that’s right so Dan must have got himself changed jumped in the car and he is heading down south D be thinking to or loser side not even the qualification yet you know what I mean it’s going to be a we to run into the big boys exactly it’s just um the standard’s incredible chams had a chance here from the break I think Robert must have an in off because I seen Liam play’s first free shot and bouncing out one of the Dead yellows and from then he’s taking the yellows out to this point is he just dropping this yet there he is looks like he’s got the full pocket just wants to give himself the right angle just to slip inside the black so he can play into the left middle that would be his preferred option that looks pretty good perfect just a little Trace left hand side just take it up the inside on the right hand side and he should be [Music] okay and absolutely perfect from Liam he’ll go into 31 lead tier for the home favorite Robert Steven some there I think G gav Robinson he was beaten last night by is it Preston McKenna said beat gav I’m sure it was yep Preston had a good win over gav yesterday then he also came in and he played Steven Ellis this morning and was very unlucky actually he get beat 75 but Steven took a really nice dish to win the match and pressing yeah recently yeah it’s everybody’s been struggling to shake we guy off him you know mean he’s he’s sticking with everyone he’s just a it’s the the youthful energy that he’s got that he doesn’t get detered he doesn’t get down he doesn’t get he doesn’t get flustered very often um you can actually see at times obviously when he’s under pressure that he’s kind of as as youngsters are you you get maybe a be bit ants in your pants and you’re just itching to get back to the table whereas it’s different for some of the guys that are a bit more seasoned when they feel the pressure you can see it really really badly in their face unless you’re a robot like Liam right enough but usually you can see that that kind of thing but you know what I’ve got I’ve got him here and you can look at I played Preston last week um the game was a bit a bit mad at the end but there was a couple of instances in the match where I thought right Preston looks a little bit a little bit under it here and then he would step up the next frame and take out a monster finish and you’re thinking right maybe he does look a bit flustered but it doesn’t affect his game and I think that’s that youthful energy that vibrancy that you get when you’re that age and it’s a fearlessness to just step back in and just pop balls yeah yeah definitely Alan Reynolds on the chat function Al Aldo lost n he lost right okay in the final of the big I knew I knew I actually thought he’d won it but I knew he was at least in a final I knew he’d went deep um that’s good information there from aren seor but there’s no doubt he’s rolling Back The Years here Renay he’s um into some big results over this weekend so far he’s obviously in the losers qualification right now and he’s 43 down to Andrew as I say Andrew MC’s been playing great this weekend um a couple of people yesterday kind of thinking oh that’s strange he’s got that result and stuff like that and I said well every time I’ve seen him I’ve seen nothing but positivity from him I think he’s a good player and I tell you what he’s proved it so far this weekend he’s still well in the mix and he’s beat some good players as was just mentioned a minute ago I think Andrew MC actually now reny’s on the chat I think he actually might have been one of reny’s prodiges maybe maybe he’s from that NE the woods think you so I held any through the Great Vine it was actually a couple ipas ago I was supposed to play him it was the I think it was the very first UK Masters it was taking place in here and I turned up the next morning 9:00 in the morning um the times were a bit crazy at that time but I remember out my bed shop over here still half sleeping and sat for almost an hour Andrew didn’t show up and obviously at the time I was thinking a we message would have been great because I wasn’t du on again till I think 1:00 or something later now in the day after that but that was my first um kind of experience of Andrew until then but obviously he’s been turning up to these ones now I don’t even know what the reason was for that the last time but I just didn’t show the next day maybe seen my name in the draw and thought what’s the point what is that point exactly ders practice partner right right okay so Andre m is been practic Liam himself yeah I heard both of them are quite good at karate that must be some session they put on and remember guys the most important part of today comes tonight when Scotland play Hungary oh that’ll be good this place will be bouncing yeah I’ve just seen it in the screen in the commentary booth there the tan Army are on the screen top stories Scotland have a chance that’s all you could have hop for well if you play anywhere close to way they played other day yeah they’ll have a chance def far away definitely and Liam duner has another chance himself to go four frames to one in front against Robert who has been sitting in his chair since I entered this booth D still looks like he means business that’s all I’m going to say he’s got that raw no emotion face on again yeah he is it’s I mean I I’ve actually there quite a few times I’ve been in here and the chat function is lit up by people who genuinely generally haven’t got the best opinion and it’s normally like I couldn’t watch him he’s boring it’s all that kind of stuff and and the only thing that ever comes to my mind is I’m not really interested in whether I would like to watch them or not I wouldn’t mind being able to play like him because the amount of titles he’s won and the amount of things the amount of matches the amount of people he’s beat at the highest level I think I would take boring as a player and have all those accolades but though I think well every single player’s number one goals to win yeah don’t care what anybody says and uh obviously enjoying pool is part of that and I think if you’re winning you’re enjoying your pool 100% And um I don’t think anybody in full Scotland has done what he’s done the last five years he went on um an incred I mean the man himself on the chat function has to take a lot of credit and Renay who I mean he’s revolutionized the way some of these guys play the game he’s kind of taken the golf aspect I’m going to use um cuz all the top golfers have got a thing called a pre- short routine you see them do the same thing before hitting every ball now it doesn’t mean that that they’re going to hit it perfect but it’s one of the biggest things that I hear Ray talking about and it’s one of the things it seems to have changed the landscape how a few guys play the game um it’s probably I mean I try my best to do the same thing as much as possible every shot but I know a lot of the time I deviate from it I know certain shots have probably got a bad routine for them because you take them for granted whereas I think the the Alan Reynolds school of thought is no matter what the shot is have the same shot the pre-shot routine and then you’re going to give every shot the exact same I mean you’re going you’re going to take every shot with the exact same kind of I don’t know the word for it but you’re not going to you’re going to give a shot the respect it deserves rather even if it’s hanging up over a pocket and you know what M I played Matt Bole he beat me in a deci and and players and it was it was a great game I had a chance to win it from 65 and I made a mess of it m basically took the finish and D DH the next frame but there was one of the one of the shots he had a a ball hanging over the bottom pocket and I’m thinking all he has to do is just roll this in come off the cushion of N and he’s absolutely perfect but he literally played this shot like it was the longest toughest pot on the table and I was watching it and I thought wow that’s exactly what you should be doing you shouldn’t be taking it for granted you shouldn’t be assuming that it’s just going to be perfect you need to make sure it is and that’s stuck in my head ever since playing that match yep every single shot should be it’s not even just just a shot it table as well like usually five balls over the bag you see people we just go down next thing you know ped three hangers and they’ll shot them in the middle one and like oh why don’t I take this one and I said it’s having the respect of actual table itself as well not just a shot and and uh reny does practice that practice but prees and you can see a lot of players here doing that now you say Revolution reolution revolutionized no I just think it I mean I suppose for some of us um we might be setting our ways on specific things and no matter what it’ll be hard to change um people are creatures are habit that’s that’s just the way we’re made you get used to a routine and but the rumor is not even a rumor I think it’s supposed to be proven by science that 21 days it takes to break a habit and 90 days to perfect a new one or something break a habit create a habit in 21 and 90 days to perfect it so if that’s the case then it takes just takes some hard work and commitment and I think obviously the rest of the things can follow after that but it’s not easy in real life to to have the time to go and do that kind of stuff so um I think if you can get a minute or two with guys like Renay then you’re you’re going to be doing okay well St watches this back it makes you feel better I could watch you for days doesn’t B me wasn’t B I remember the match in here he was playing Chris Maron and Chris didn’t take too kindly even though it was on the TV table there wasn’t a shot clock at the time the shot clocks only been implemented over the last while and he was playing Chris and he was taking the usual bit of time Liam takes on every shot whether it’s like a shot like this which is quite simple but he’s just checking all his eventualities whereas Chris basically stood up and just scattered the balls with c and Liam was kind of looking at him as if what happened there Chris didn’t like it but the success I mean I would I would take it every day of the week simple as that I really would well I don’t know many players that could make a top player like that get flustered and I think that’s in a tri the itself because it’s a w that’s a winning factor and that’s all that’s a goal and that’s what he does it definitely takes a about D to get under a guy as seasoned as that skin definitely I watched them do it to um I can’t remember what what tournament was it it was might have been the Scottish it might have been I but it was players and uh Liams came up against I believe it was fairy right and he’s tapped the pack and he’s tapped the pack again and he’s done it again and next thing know I think he’s 51 up family’s just putting the Q through the ball he just doesn’t want to be there just rifling it and you know how good he is ex is absolutely tremendous ridiculous actually and uh I’m just Hing to myself wow wow how do you I mean yeah he’s I mean he’s shown his class here and I I actually questioned it a while back he does it at the IPA on the TV table 30 seconds um on the tour events against obviously the the the tour Pros um and it’s his time management is very good he’s doing it here on the short clock time management BR taking the finishes exactly as he should um it’s I think it’s I played on the short clock the other night against d and it brought the best out in me I mean I had to make the decisions quick I played probably the best play I’ve played in a while and I haven’t probably in the last five six months really had any time on the practice table it’s just been one of those things I’ve just not been able to do it but without having too long to kind of second guess yourself to find to find the mistakes yeah overthink scenarios I basically just thought about what I could even if I ran out of position I just had to make a decision within that 30 seconds and a way to fix it and I just seemed to keep doing it and actually I don’t know what it was but it just it was a preference to me I used to play the game quite quick I know I’ve slowed quite a lot lately but um the short clock definitely helped me and I would I’d be happy to play on it every single match I play no it can I think can have the opposite effect speaking the G Mel who’s now in the last 16 by the way and he’s beat a lot of good names and he was telling me that he was on uh I think he was playing DAV Mary yesterday and he’s on a finish to get either on the hill or over the line and H all he can hear is beep beep beep and he just fact it was to go over the line I remember I’m saying and uh of he’s got the Finish he’s made him it and every time he beat went he just it just like oh it felt as if he had to go and he just he made a meal of it I mean and he said it could have worked against him and it nearly did and um it’s an advantage to those who can play under it so well definitely I think Ry might if he’s still watching he might actually be able to answer this but um I was I don’t know if it was you speaking to R but I’m sure Liam had an issue with a shot clock and if memory SES me right did you not suggest Bill if you’re having problems with a shot clock let’s practice under the shot clock or something along those lines and he because his time management on the sh clock now is it’s incredible he seems to approach the table at 10 seconds start Feathering at five and Strikes the ball either on one or two every single time um so he uses entire 30 seconds but I don’t know if I heard that from you or if it was someone else but I’m sure someone told me that that’s Liam started to work on it because he was struggling with a shot clock it could wrong but you would maybe be maybe be able to correct me and one way or another on that is it Shan on cooms yes it is uh a nice we comment here Steven if your house was on the line what come UK po player would you choose to play for it well what it likes me for a start I mean what what’s the is it a long is it a long race is it a race to 25 is it just one single frame I mean if it’s one single frame I’m playing it myself because there’s only one person that wants to save my house and that’s me so if it’s one frame it’s definitely me but if it’s a long race that’s a good question um I mean you’ve got to be throwing Mark Bo into there you’ve got to be throwing Tom cousins in there yeah UK well you it depends definitely depends I mean you’ve got you’ve got Tom you’ve got Mark you’ve got um m h you I mean you’ve got a lot of absolute Class Acts but I suppose it depends probably over the long race in the last couple of years the two guys that have shown the most are Tom cousins and Mart Bo 25 well I think i’ be going be someone Scottish I think it’d have to be Mark for me R to 25 the chances are he’s going to fight for your house a bit more than someone who doesn’t know you so if you use that kind of logic then that that makes sense take Mark I would mind Mark against anybody race to 25 well on his Cent form but um obviously Tom cousins is ridiculous probably the best since Max kind of took a backseater m p for me is the best but ever but um cousins in com form he’s just winning everything tonight isn’t he but Bo on his aame can can definitely y take take in the town I’ll even go as far as to see if it’s a race to four playing it myself well if it’s a race to 1 two three or four I’m not having the Missy say you [ __ ] lost your house so i’ rather honestly there’s no way I’m playing it myself I will apologize for that little busting language there Excuse excuse the French but but um just we too it took you long enough to renovate the house you just went and lost it no no a chance what do you mean you get some other guy to play for the house who was it that actually put a bed on the house the guy that was playing oh if it’s one frame I’ll just stick Scott you can just play my house there you go M I’ll just watch be back in 10 minutes actually into the shop I tell you what in one frame I wouldn’t be shying for renzi in maybe even say joho I need you to get four or five weeks Practice Mate because one frame pool as good as any body out there oh definitely all these guys know how to play the the game Mr mckennis would be up there as well sorry Mark I’ve got tette as you all know and so that’s happens once every day that’s once yeah I I did it the other days well and I’m like all and a lot of people gave me a we comment on there and sometimes um yeah glasgon come flying out you see it’s considered a swear work swear World anywhere else in the country but here it’s it’s like actually like mannerism if if anything isn’t it Ste exactly if you like someone that’s whatever words you use when do you know you’re ready to play in Big Money match or are you approached sorry I don’t understand the question when do you know you you’re ready to play in a big money match or are you approached I think um wheny you know you’re ready playing a big money match I think you know see if if you’re competing with all the top guys and depends who playing against as well you could be you could get a big money match against a glaso I mean a county D player so but if if you mean when do you know you’re ready to play a top player then you’ve got to be competing and beating these top players you know you’re ready there’s um Johnny mcder just played a big money match here against Ste wasn’t it I didn’t see the full match I seen I seen the tail end of it but I know leading up to him on a match even though Johnny lost the match he was he was beating and competing and losing tight games to the the best players so and that’s what you want to be doing Cory ree 70 up on Grant finan just now Andrew MC 63 up on Al McLoud and Johnny mcder got beat off Adam gra 85 in the losers qualification and Chris Boron is he’s actually one his losers around four match and a decider against col dowy and went straight through into the last 16 to play Clint Jansen because Martin Keenan who obviously couldn’t make today H has pulled out and obviously Advanced Chris into the next round but there’s another player who’s played absolute brilliant po yesterday um he’s won three games I believe H and I know he doesn’t play tons but recently he’s been playing quite a bit and he’s beat Anon Ry yesterday Bobby George when he’s had a really good win against Lee mcferson uh I playing very some very good pill so it’s a p he couldn’t make today but there’ll be reasons behind that so Steven Ellis advances on to play G UT in the last 16 that’ll be a good match Liams on a finish here again when Liam D does that he s his CU control is ridiculous it’s unbelievable to watch so good inch perfect all the time not that he’s inch perfect here but he’s just about perfect to play the natural take a black probably in the same bag let he can oh just as I said that commentator’s curse just as I said that he’s landed a we bit awkward but he still fancy him to make it I think he was playing the black in the same bag unless he thought he was kind the yellow full ball but but um he got a be bit fortunate there cuz that could have slid slid further and it’s went so one good shot for Liam to be six to up and that is perfect 6 to was never in doubt was it really the way he’s playing just so smooth on the delivery referee yon Ewing here I mean in terms of how good your game is or is money matches totally different in terms of side but definitely money match money matches do require a good mental side of the match because it’s a momentum swings so if you’re mentally unstable mentally not strongly and I wouldn’t recommend playing for a a cash Mark Johnston L can’t win a cool brige flyer but that’s a good record in money matches oh oh bro po size phoh tip size does d use anyone two second Ste you want to run over to and get this I think I might have a set of digital measuring devices here that I can run over grab Liam’s Q they call me the Ninja so he might not even see me coming I’ll find that out for you Paul in case you want to copy it I’ll go my way later on and I’ll make sure that I obtain that information sex frames to two Liam to break it’s all kicking off in the goldricks oh and the yellows look yeah that’s uh the kind of break you hope for every single time you line up to hit that shot and you got the corner red or the corner whatever one it was right into the bottom corner there it was a red went the bottom right corner and I think Liam I don’t think Liam’s going to miss these to be honest he’s just got to map it out right I think take a middle one bottom one and even if he leaves the white whereever yellow is he’s get the one the black to the top Corner Stop ball yellow in the Middle top Corner Middle or any way it’s easy for here is it it’s this this bottom yellow is the one that he’s going to want to get away as quickly as possible he stunned maybe a be bit higher than he would lik he’s still okay he knows you might decide to come around the back of the Reds yeah and play the the one into the left middle you might decide yeah that’s what he’s that’s what he’s looking at I think yeah I think he will any day if he comes up table if basically get by the heads and you’re guaranteed done he’s looking to see what part of the pocket he can put into and he’s now looking to see if he can pass by that red I think he has to run bottom cushion side cushion um I don’t yeah he stunned up he stunned back rather than just coming down straight just just inside the red would have been perfect there yeah if he can miss this red he’s he’s absolutely let’s see what he’s thinking he want to screw past it I think he screwed into it that’s a mistake see I don’t now a player of his caliber there I don’t see why I just ran that in retraer right hand side and just took medic on the long yellow if he knew he was hitting the red you know what I mean yeah he’s got I mean for me he could have ran off the bottom cush about a side off the right cushioning up and then had the the left yellow into the left middle but as you see he could have run it in me some side and just came back out to a similar line that the yellow was on can maybe get safe here you could P it oh that’s very fortunate that’s unfortunate that’s that’s a bit of lock the unlock he’ll listen he’ll be happy about that because I wonder if he can p this jacking the que up cutting away from it he’s not going to have much control of the Q Ball but you can imagine he might end up with a shot even if it’s a long y can in the yellow here but he just miss it he just missed it and he’s missed the yellow missed the PO as well and a chance Robert Steven was not expecting here this is where the tides can turn and suddenly Robert thinks to himself Liams on the hill but next thing he knows he’s only three behind I don’t know who’s to break next not sure who’s to break next that was Liam that broke there so it’s going to be Robert to break next so essentially Robert can get this Frame duner he’s one dry break D’s one dry break six each yep in the last 16 matches are about to get started Greg mcmurren and Adam griffi Clint ianson and Chris Boron Greg Davis Cory ree Gio Edgar Steven Ellis for Monumental ties have the salesman Mr Reynolds ever the salesman make sure you don’t sell him the one without the buttons that make you play specific shots make sure you get the one with all the gears my friend you don’t want one of the automatic ones they don’t work as good get the one with a stabilizer on it for when you’re on a big shot I think the new ones come with a laser oh that’s a great shot just seen that in the replay there the Robert Stevens long red and I think duner may have awoken the bear was a big mistake from Liam and it was the actual shot before the one that he made the mistake on because the one into the middle when he’s ended up stunning back a couple inches and coming down slightly he really only wanted to be moving the we down not back and he’s ended up causing himself some issues that led to a bigger mistake the next shot and Robert Steven has got one frame back on the board and it is Robert to bre here can he put some pressure on Liam and you feel right now he has to Andrew MC is on the hill against Aldo McLoud Aldo who’s been rolling Back The Years might be rolling out of here soon but no disgrace the kind of tournament he’s had making it to this stage on the Sunday number yeah that was actually me I can’t in the cut break I was um one day I was in the in the pub I was going absolutely berserk and I took a swing at the table with a a machete and all of a sudden balls were flying in everywhere and I thought that might work this cut break I think the minute um that the the game changed the D that used to be at the top of the table a lot of the the guys that used to play remember so you had a d on the table similar to Snooker and you used to have to break from that area once the rules changed and Renay would be able to tell you more about it cuz he was involved in the making of black ball rules as they are in the current state the the D was taken away and the bul line was just replaced well it was just basically the bul line that was there on its own replacing the D and you could break from anywhere behind it anywhere on the line from that point people were really trying different things um and the cut break was obviously invented because I think that the fact that you could smash into a ball rather than basically can in the first ball it was something the minute I actually had a a chance to do it I’ve done it ever since it’s been a long long time since I’ve hit the front ball I did it a couple of times in a match not long ago because I just wasn’t getting a ball and hitting the second ball down but um ever since the D disappeared I’ve been doing it and I think a lot of other guys will be quite similar but um yeah it’s a tough want to think who invented it because I would suggest that the minute the bul line went away H sorry the D went away there’s probably people with tables all over the country were all trying different breaks at the same time so and but I would suggest that it was done the cup break was probably invented around about that time what two players would you pay to watch in a Live Match Tom cousins M would a pay to watch Big Money match and pay watch A2 have been for a long time they see the thing is I don’t even know if I would pay to watch them I me I probably wouldn’t pay to watch myself when Stevie you can watch yourself back one in the world title was it going to cost me n you’re all right no definitely no I mean I think there was something that M Hill was talking about I watched an interview and he said he would like to get get everything away from all the the kind of different organizations and get a cracking Arena maybe a 3,000 he was done maybe a 1200 1500 2,000 seer and get maybe the four players he was he mentioned himself Tom cousins Mark Bo I can’t remember the other one but he mentioned four of these guys and said imagine getting us together for some kind of maybe races to 25 and but the ticket money and stuff like that rather than people backing them and taking money out of people’s pockets so the ticket money for the events would go towards paying these guys to go and do the stuff in front of a big audience and um I know it’s it’s not exactly happened yet but I think it’s a good idea and it’s definitely something I would be interested in oh the big issue here was Robert did not want the Reds he wanted yellows he ended up forced into Reds and and doing so the Finish wasn’t really on he tried to make it and unfortunately for him he’s given Liam a chance in fact it’s a gift because Liam will not make a mistake from here you wouldn’t think so that would be a mon Monumental mistake if he did two below the BL just now then essentially he’s What’s Done he’ll just drop this in just enough to get his Q directly onto the Q ball nothing in his way and it’s just drop drop drop and he’ll just take the one at the top left hand corner as he’s last ball just drift down towards what would be the blue spot on a pool and a Snicker table yeah he’s absolutely perfect 73 here and a mountain to climb for Robert Steven now Li to break as well yeah I don’t see any mistakes happening now it’s one’s over uh for some reason I backing we get us perfect another yeah yeah they like to be another couple inches down but he’s okay he can he can still get his hand on the table he’s comfortable enough there that’s why you buy the glove RS is in the chat he’s got plenty and stuff that glove there you seen the stability on Liam’s hand yeah he’s even get goalie gloves anybody playing Five aze [Music] tonight people pay to watch Ronnie a silv not M kill people pay a lot of stuff people were paying a lass for C Rd to sing lollipop so I think you’ll find that we can you can Hox people into pay whatever you want these days I’m looking forward to a Scotland game later I really am I think it’s not often that we get ourselves in this sort of situation where we’ve got a chance this hungry much better with Billy Gore in the middle did you watch it Stevie the other night Billy G and set with set a tempo and Leo has gotten a ball from the break he’s not happy with it however looks to me that the reds are the Reds are okay actually I think you’ll be happy with that break probably got your red on the bottom rail here as your last ball we got on the black looks as if he’s got a we angle to move a black I don’t think he will though I don’t think he needs it I think Liam knows that V tables playing really well and because he’s got the connector down down the bottom you just p on it I don’t think that’s exactly where they wanted to be however they might need to go downstairs now the f the case it might just play for the double on the black yeah so he’s taking these two just no stun out middle middle top and I think he’ll just play for the double unless he’s absolutely Plum on it to just St below the middle bagora I do fancy him to get these one good shot here he perfect so what do you think Stevie do you think you please for the double or get a angle just below the middle well I think if he he gives himself the angle to maybe nudge into to the black he can either be very I mean he could be absolutely perfect and just flick it over the middle or he can give himself the black in the bottom corner he might just drop on it and play it down the line um I don’t know if he can I mean yeah I think he can drop on a double okay as well but it’s mad to actually think that we black s he’s got so many options I think he’ll take try he a double take it the same bag because he knows himself the way the tables are playing if he gets anywhere at all low in the black here just going to trickle it in but as you said they’re playing that good they could take it long yeah I mean he just looked at it down the line um but I think he’s landed absolutely perfect here to just stun down past the middle bag oh he’s he’s still got a shot he’s actually that’s a very very very the thing is he’s he’s got away with it in a big way because he’s thunder hit it by Miles and if he if he hit that just a touch heavier he’s in off he’s so close to the middle he had to stun that really really hard to come down past the the middle pocket it was absolutely spot on to run into the black so I don’t know why he didn’t cuz he was obviously perfect for that and he would have had options ah it’s a good good block fantastic recovery shot from Liam duner and Robert Steven is going to exit his home venue as Liam marches forward for a battle with his compatriot Mark Bole the is a not already rules to stop tap breaks I think particular tournament is Free by the middle isn’t it well not in in the IPA rules it’s um the bulk line so the IPA rules are you have to have three balls past the bul line um or it’s a three it’s basically a Three-Point Rule Bas if a ball goes in and two pass the ball line and stuff like that so the IPA rules have taken out the T break you have to you have to smash them in the IPA but is it the B line itself as yes yes in black in black ball rules it’s see past the middle but the IPA have added in their own rule for the breakoff shot which is you have to be past the bul line if nothing goes black balls two past the middle isn’t it it might be it might be two pass two pass that’s who um actually thought BP was so it’s actually three past the B L three there’s a three b a three-point r in it you you must have either a couple past the ball line or a couple of balls going in but I don’t think anybody places it um in such a way as long as you smash the balls open nobody is going and Counting how many balls of them pass that Top Line um it’s basically it’s basically a rule that’s been brought in a few years ago in the IPA to stop anybody from Top breaking yeah hello hello hello so who’s on the stream now GTH hbit and Keen Lis M and Drew Hughes is currently sitting at 6 each for anybody wondering and I believe believe that’s the last losers qualification match let me check yes this is the final remaining match to complete the last 16 for [Music] all [Music] start for for for we want sctor we want s reater [Music] [Music] up [Music] [Music] you [Music] and we began G hbit versus ke The Godfather against the upstart Kean monah who’s come flying out of nowhere in the last couple of years I know he’s been a top talent as a kid and stuff like that but the first time I saw him really flying was down at the black ball table 67k event in Blackpool and he was absolutely phenomenal that weekend and since then he’s kicked on he’s he’s now an IPA Pro himself um and he’s going head-to-head with the World Champ right now the IPA world champion G so this is set to be a classic it’s a race to 10 now the big numbers are involved is a long race and all you guys at home who you on in this one look at that break look at that break wow oh wow a lovely break guys I’ve mentioned this a few times even when I was down at the IPA Tour on commentary I watched gett doing the breaking dish challenges um which I’ve done a couple myself they are not easy especially when you’ve got a black ball elite table which the bags are super tight but Gareth you do it in two sets of 25 breaks and G’s first 25 breaks he had 23 breaking dishes it is absolutely unbelievable that kind of ability um and that kind of break kind of gives you the idea one kind of dodgy red he’s going to leave it to last I think he leave this one over the bag to second last to just connect onto then that will be him one one good shot for the frame so what a break basically you’ve got a red in the ra for a you take that every match you take that every single game you one good red down the rail for the match oh definitely and the thing is um the guys with the kind of Talent on show over this weekend they don’t see these as tough BS because we GS thinking about it as he nothing to do here he just needs to PO the ball so there’s no work to do it might as well be in the middle of middle of the table for him yeah that’s honestly it’s nothing to to guys like Gareth when it’s um especially when it’s your last ball I actually had won the other night it was very similar to that just above the middle bag up yeah and it was against Dan and I actually didn’t even think it was weldy to the cushion but to me I knew had nothing to do but put the ball and I think it’s when you’ve got some kind of positional play and it really starts to make those shots difficult but get over to over the line Le is 7 each with Drew Hughes here so he’s on the Reds for the match the Reds actually look really good now let’s hope that we stay with this for a minute the other match has got a long way to go so it would be good to see this one end think he’s going to have to take this in the middle and swing around off three cushions yeah I mean he could he could drop the red in the top bag and just slay onto the black and then a better short he’s got the the cut into the middle after that but he’s going to play the double here but the looks of it oh he’s oh that’s a great shot that is a great shot unfor guys we’ve come back to the race to 55 in the main table and but we’ll keep you posted on that result in that match I’m sure a lot of the Scottish and wal contingent would I like to see the end of that one but we’ll keep you posted on the score as Kean breaks off here it’s a decent breakoff shot no BS the yellows look good to me for G here I don’t think he’s got much work to do with this first shot to be fair I think both both colors are good I think the reds are really nice here as well yeah he’s not going to want to miss that’s for sure because there’s nothing majorly difficult for Keen after that but for Gareth Gareth he broke Dr yeah that’s what I’m saying if if Gareth was to miss there would be nothing difficult for Kean but I mean I don’t see any way that g makes a mistake but there is Lewis Lewis does do the damage and he has made it through to the last 16 nice to see him actually getting through because he was telling his yester I think it was a couple of days ago he hates his p po yeah had a bad start to the weekend and he was telling people py was like p py m said to me um he’s got he’s something wrong with him he’s wanted just got a weird name um and he said he can’t play pool because it and I said to him he’s got The Yips and he said I says Le hasn’t got The Yips I mean he is not having trouble releasing the queue he’s not having trouble with specific parts of his game I mean Le is just mental absolutely mental and sure I said it said to me um at the end of last year whatever it was I can’t remember when the Scottish was it was I think it was end last year whatever it was and he said they he had The Yips and then he get beat in the final the Scottish you know what I mean you’re like for someone with The Yips you seem to be doing quite well in all these tournaments so I think it just makes him feel better when he’s when he’s having a a bit of a loose moment what a shot that is fantastic what a shot that is just inch perfect for go fa and Lewis has got the honor of playing Mr Mark fernworth fans worth his honor of playing lose yeah that’s it so here’s the last 16 entire draw in its entirety for you Mar Bo vers Liam dunster Christian Phillips versus Andrew MC well done Andrew getting this far Greg McMillan against Adam GFF griffi Greg who has been in phenomenal form over the last few months Cen and Chris Boron Greg Davis Cory Reese Mark fransworth as I just mentioned against the main man Lis MCU Gio Edgar who is flying for nothing in front of Steven Ellis and The Godfather and Kean are on the table right now with GBA about to go two frames to n in front looking at that last 16 draw it is phenomenal but I just can’t help thinking the amount of talent that’s gone out of this tournament already one of the names that rings to mind right away Steven Walker um yeah definitely who who beat the most current formed Pro probably coming into this event yeah there’s just I mean Dan Davy obviously sticks out obviously from playing him G Robinson gav Robinson and me pressing was the one that put him to bed gav I mean there The Usual Suspects always end up at the TA end of course they do I mean Mark Bo’s normally at this stage Liam’s normally at this stage Clint is normally at this stage Mark F were and young Gio is now banging on the door so often in the tournaments it looks to me like he is heading towards IPA Pro status next year no I don’t think he can get away with it now away from it even he’s number one I think in the 57 points iabs he’s just playing some phenomenal stuff on a daily basis and he’s getting the rewards back to the main table he’s G will break off it’s a sledgehammer of a break and it looks dry to me Keen steps to the table and this is a gift a gift from The Godfather it has to be Reds it’s a very good chance on reds Adam my scof he he get beat in the losers room from George Henderson yeah big George so George is one of the guys who for me um the Scotland B2 team has yet to be picked and the names on the list some of the guys I think really should be a shout and of automatic selection are probably Dylan Stanfield Ethan Lang um Martin Keenan who’s had a great weekend as well but I would like to see the lik a big George who’s done really well this weekend maybe even get a trial he’s made I mean he’s not done himself any harm that’s for sure being one of the current top IPA amateurs who won the first event Adam Myers goof a big mistake bad shot from I think maybe he just fought the table would do work for him but a bit thicker than he thought yeah he’s he’s thought to himself the thing is it’s like he’s not want to over hit it but he can hit it as far across the table as he the yellow exactly anything but short and he misses this he’s going to go three down well he doesn’t miss it that’s a fantastic recovery but it looks like he’s still got work to do can he get past to that red in the middle I think he can if he can’t he’s still got what to do here looks like he’s taking the one down the rail yeah he can’t be on the one to the middle just needs to watch your wa doesn’t flip this yellow another test up good shot and it’s a test he’s passed strikes the ball with 4 ke doesn’t he hits the ball well can of cheat the pocket here over so slightly just a b a side maybe even just bring the C ball down low here yeah play it into the top side just getting himself the right angle to get up for this Black Plum absolutely Plum Miss is a be fuel short here played that very well good response and he’s going to get a chance to break here to get back to level terms so Keen Monahan hits back against Gareth H and one of the matches that we can see from the commentary Booth keeping a key eye on can they see yeah there he’s there so you can see Greg as well he’s playing Adam Greg means business he’s jumped to the Turkish this morning got got a quick sh for the for the Winner’s photo it’s mad by the way because there was a a tournament last year and the end of last year where I looked like a i l I honestly looked like a hunger Striker I had a big beard I looked I mean I looked rough and on the I did and on the Saturday night before coming in the Sunday I got a big shave I’m looking in the mirror and I said better get a shaved off there’s a chance you’re getting your photo took tomorrow and I did I lost in that final but I got my photo taken in that final and maybe Greg has had that same kind of feeling come over him so he’s tried to looky Sunday Best and who knows still yet to lose came right through the winners four games I think he won yesterday oh the thing is this is doing him so much good because these are ranking events now and Greg is already highly ranked um so this will definitely shoot him up with a rankings yeah who knows next year Greg could be a pro well I just shows you just it just it just shows you it just shows you even that one of the blind squirrels can finding up even a blind head find a worm again no doing he’s doing phenomenal brilant he’s a class and he’s one of the it’s one of the reasons why he was high on the list for the the Scotland team that I selected myself along with my commentator partner here now Greg is he’s playing good stuff and he’s he plays the game the right way as well and he’s got all sides to he’s get the dirty side so to speak he’s got a tough yellow I can see through the Gap watch him the first day I was in here the first day he’s playing you wo by the way he’s in the Scotland a team onon the trial and he’s playing you w and I swear to God he’s 4 H and H using Scot’s tles gotman absolutely Nots I looked over thinking to myself oh well Greg’s 54 down essentially what a yellow he’s just stroked in it’s he’s the cball is down close to the bottom rail the the yellow is just just above the middle bag weldy to the cushion and he’s nailed it and came across for the black if Greg ports this what a finish Greg McMillan I know you guys can’t see it but we can see it from the commentary Booth he is definitely absolutely buzzing that’s a good yellow good black as well wasn’t any easy black trying to catch his eye here so I can get my picture taken with him ler uh I so he was playing in what was first day and he’s four each with a big un and he can’t win i’ looked over 5 down I look over two minutes later gr get six Reds y’s get one yellow he’s got B covered he’s get double double uped in the corner and I just HED oh he’s P like the the shiny as you see his old dad’s tricks there no word of a lie guys I know you couldn’t see it but the Finish Greg just took there was unbelievable it was it was worthy of winning any frame I mean it’s the kind of finish if you won a match with it it would probably go down in history it was absolutely incredible it looked to me like he couldn’t win the frame at one point because his balls were all dead and next thing it’s finished and I’ve looked at the screen and it was a run out he’s actually dished from that position what a finish he’s playing good stuff definitely hopefully for everyone at home he actually struggled on the TV table he did he openly said that when he played David the time thing caught him out um but who knows if he keeps going the way he’s going he’s going to be on this table again at some point soon Liam duners One up on Mark Bo and he’s got a chance that’s not a perfect shot from Garett is this Adam’s break could be the difference Greg Greg’s finish here Stevie and you’ve yeah some break some break from it that that’s going to be some match this is Adam Griffith has got a chance to Dish straight back and that’ll be three frames all with four dishes out of the six frames that’s going to be a foul and Ken a big chance here for Keen it’s not easy two shots table’s still a bit rough isn’t it yeah it could be bail as far as far as keenen’s concerned but the yellow above the red might go closest to the black spot and if it does and he’s probably going to play it right now it’s just what kind of position is the CU going to be left in after the shot if he catches the red fi in the face that would be better if he goes under it which he did he’s actually okay he’s actually okay I could have came out wor he’s now get that yellow on the left cushion as his last ball so he’s got to take these other three away middle middle middle probably yeah just wants to give himself the right angle to come across for that last one I think he’s okay I think that’s absolutely perfect yep he’s yeah he’s absolutely spot on I think if he goes middle middle he’s going to give himself a much better angle to get across for that last Yow Chas oh just took his medicine here yeah I mean he actually came round and and looked at that angle so he’s did that deliberately so that he can screw across but I’m very surprised he could have just come around the back of that yellow and just dropped in the middle and came over oh wow wow tell you what guys someone has greased the wheels on these Pockets because that didn’t look like it was going to drop unfortunately for Keen it did and this is going to be all square and the live last 16 match between G ke mon Adam did finish that and he did dish Now Greg Greg’s back at the table here broke driver is that Greg’s break it must be from Greg’s break but I must admit they don’t look very good the balls there’s a lot of Reds and yellows tied up up the top looking at Lis MC against Mark fernworth Mark has one frame to one frame to n up now le has a chance on the Reds goo’s 51 in front of Steven Ellis codyy re four one up in Greg Davis [ __ ] ianson two Chris Boron three so some big scores on the board right now who is L he’s absolutely perfect Lewis keep you posted on that match let G hbit sets up to break and as usual GTH has given himself some choices here what got baby that’s that’s some break from the godfa to be possessed with his ability and that break it’s incredible as I say on the the breaking dis challenge thing that a lot of pool players are involved in these days gism as part of his practice that’s the he puts in on the table are basically doing those challenges where he can win money at the same time for practicing but really all you’re doing is trying to break and Dish all the time um and when he comes to play these events that’s all he’s trying to do he’s never really trying to do anything but breaking finish and if his opponent doesn’t manage to get a ball then he’s hoping to finish so it’s all one visit stuff that g of seon for every single time he comes to the table he’s judged that just about perfect t a reverse there and he’s looking [Music] Plum have you been reading you’ve been reading the subtitles no one of the things it came up and said there the Galaxy at the Fort when he’s ready and I’m thinking who even said anything of those I mean I was laughing yesterday the subtitles I’ve already said if there’s people at home um with some kind of impairment and they’re watching obviously a lot of times P hasn’t get any commentary anyway so I’m struggling to find what the need for the subtitles are but they at same galaxy again Galaxy at default I mean I I don’t even know where these words are coming from it is absolutely insane G has the best front break in IPA that was the statement made there yeah I mean I don’t disagree that is an out and out Sledgehammer of a break that he has so Mr Kill to break off a one frame a piece [Music] whoa like is that front R it was just it was a cut break from the left hand side you can see it on the the delayed camera there Le is an unbelievable break as well I watched him against Ryan earlier and um that’s like was everybody was like that the thing for me is he’s he’s not even got an opener the the red is I mean the yellows are obvious but L mcu’s break off there was Unreal and we’ll come back to it we’ll see how he gets on but Ryan DEA did you see that yeah yeah may this subt was Haven considered the Scottish accent yeah that’s what I said they’re quite Prejudice a chance for ke in here is going to want to try and keep Pace with GF he’s not going to want to let him kick into too big a lead just stop him from going that’s a goal isn’t it return serve Greg mum on a a yellow here for 43 FY get it it’s over the middle bag that will be I have to say I don’t know how that frame went but the ball still look quite similar looks like a couple of Reds have moved but Greg himself has gone 43 in front I don’t think that was a dash I think there was a few no it was a couple of tactical shots yeah there was a couple of shots involved in that but there was one yellow that was stoned dead and amongst about four Reds like Greg’s taking the finish on the the the yellows there so he’s done some good work while his dad is sitting over her shoulder watching that now that’s where um Greg will actually come into action see there’s a couple of we safety frames you find some to to stay in the mix to say the least and commentary is going to bit delayed for the next we can we may have the best commentator in the world but I’d like to see him commentate on a black screen yeah we’ve we’ve kind of lost visual on the the main screen but we’ve got the delayed one to the the right of us but that would mean that while we speak us would be hearing the shots and stuff being a little bit behind so try and keep his entertained for a minute whil um Sean is going to go and give Craig a shout ATT one be short one for for for e seven guys per for oh e for e ins exension he B complete for for that than name than you spe see EX feel great s for for the give for for for for ch e 11 got SE for for for t for for [Music] Wonder for for e last last one for think came today feel ATT ATT for for for sorry for the delay guys um we had a few screen issues in the booth they were sorted not long ago there so just had a minutes break um this match is obviously heading towards its climax at the moment Gare is 74 in front for guys can anyone hear a slight interference like a ticking something like that I’m hoping it’s just in the earphones and behind behind sorry in my ear um it’s actually quite annoying I don’t know if anyone else can hear it um if you can please let us know because I’m sure it’s something that could good folks look at that Q ball control from Gareth absolutely Sublime absolutely Sublime cheers mate thank you you see codyy on your screen just now looks like a thin cut on the yellow he’s quite fortunate there he gives a nod to Greg so there’s a scores on the screen for you Mt Bo five l duner two Christian Phillips three Andrew mcfe 2 Greg MCM five Adam Griff five Cen four Chris Bon six CG Davis four codyy re six Mark farmsworth three Lis MCU 2 Gio edar seven Steven Ellis four fight back on in that one and G hiber with six run outs guys eight ke Monahan four with three run outs we’ve got nine run outs in this match unbelievable unbelievable yeah thanks thanks guys on the chat it’s it must just be maybe the audio going into the earphones there like a slight ticking noise in my ear um I’ll just try and cope with that best possible might be something to do with one of the connections here but um I’ll get Craig to have a look at it after this match it should be okay sounds like there’s a grasshopper jumping about in my so that shot that Cy had a little bit of Fortune with he got himself back in and he’s got a chance on the yells in that match as we come back to Mr run out and it’s not going to be this time because this is dry and is there a chance for Ken to get a reverse dish on the board the standard in this match is incredible G git six them coming either break or reverse and ke with three out of his four that is absolutely unbelievable much appreciate it guys but I can say I can hear it in my ear it only seems to be when I’m not talking if it goes quiet it seems to get louder and louder so I’ll try my best to keep talking rather than listening to the ticking took his medicine a suchar there I don’t know if he’s on the one he’s def that doesn’t look like he’s on the one to the top left he’s not going to want to play that just now anyway so he’s going to Cann in the red on the left hand side of the the yellow here it’s not what he was hoping for he’s an all kinds of trouble now I don’t think he can play the plant in any way it’s going to be tough tried The Bard has he lost to Black no he’s not but he may have lost a frame because G hbit is stepping to the table with every red having a pocket just saying goodbye there to Tom Talon Tom what a man what a man when I started playing P um Tom was one of the the guys I got to know ear doors Jam of a man he’s been floating around the last while down at mic watching a lot of the PO giving his opinioned on what guys are doing right and wrong I did tell me that yesterday that I’m up there with one of the most improved players he’s he’s seen he’s not seen me in about 10 years so that makes me we think I was absolutely rotten when Tam disappeared but what a man that’s good to see Tam back floating around the scene doing a lot better himself clever shot there from G using the cushion high up making sure he plays it in such a way that the black doesn’t end up coming along the bottom cushion on very clever the Q ball back roughly where it is right now would be okay I think he can he’s going to come slightly higher because of the angle he’s got he’s just checking it out just now well that’s he’s under hit that by a long way he’s probably going to use the top cushion as well here now unless he can hold it which he probably can he probably can yeah loads and loads aside let’s take the pace out of the CU ball as it hits the cushion and G is one away from the quarterfinals and Ken Monahan staring down the barrel of an exit at the last 16 stage Fraser yeah you’re right you’re probably right mate um everyone needs a great result um at one point in time to kick on so you probably spot on well Paul um you might be getting ahead of yourself to an extent but these two are now heavily involved and obviously the people involved um just now are they’re all working behind the scenes to get everything in place for a new future a new dawn in the IPA which will definitely kick into play before this year ends so that next year gets off to an absolute flyer um these guys don’t believe in doing anything in half measures they want to hit the ground running um I know there are some big decisions being made um so I would be watching watching out for some of those but what I will say is for a lot of guys who are maybe casual entrance of some of the events they’re going to have to be careful because there is going to be numbers cut in certain aspects of even the tour um so everyone that wants to play is going to want to have to have the tour card um they’re not going to want to be hoping that someone can’t make an event so that they can can take a spot because I don’t think that’s going to be the way it’s going to be I think it’s going to be heading in the direction of a set amount of players for each maybe amateur Pro ladies whatever it is I think there’s going to be ca numbers so I would suggest that there is big changes on the way yeah the tables were only done two weeks ago Fraser um they were done for this all Tire 2 weeks ago and they’re still playing absolutely phenomenal they’ll all be cleaned up and sprayed and um absolutely fizzing with the new match balls on the table as usual for each event so and the tables are playing great absolutely phenomenal so one thing that you come to expect when you come to places like this um which is making pool players G because if you go to a place well no disrespect to to the tables when I played you in the the Admiral open and I know the guy did a couple of them over over about a 6 or eight month period a number of the tables had been record but they were all different um they weren’t they weren’t in the best of condition that much as for sure um but what I will say is when you come here you normally get the best of everything that Paul and a team at mulix can give you so yeah the tables were redone two weeks ago um so they should be an absolute mint condition for you getting here next week mate there GTH abbit one red and a black ball away from a place in the quarter finals absolutely Sensational Gareth ibit yeah freeer exactly it was it was absolutely insane Paul uh a long time ago a charity football match um I was only young right enough but it was a while back but who knows maybe bump into him at one time in the future we can listen to about ACDC man can’t be about ecdc man not brilliant from G F I have to say he is definitely one to watch there’s a couple of people in the venue over the last couple of days tipping him he’s going to be tough to beat you see on the outer table Adam griffus who’s 65 in front of Greg McMillan missing a big chance and he’s giving Greg a chance at that table on reds it’s not easy but he’s giv him a chance I was looking GI Edgar ended up in a match I think he was I [ __ ] remember correctly I think he might have been 51 up or something along those lines he was well in front but it’s 85 now G’s only two frames away Steven has a chance on reds here where’s the qall going to go oh he’s at least on that red it doesn’t look easy the club I played for in that charity football match that M coed and I mean it was littered with um players from all around Scottish football at the time mcco was one of them Kevin Galler was one of them um Peter Grant was one of them Joel Miller was one of them there was a lot of players that played for different clubs um there’s actually quite I think I’ve got some photos in the house of I was only young 17 year old or something like that um and no maybe 15 maybe closer to 15 when I think about it 1995 96 and I was playing for a team called Tarts one of the top youth amateur clubs um that existed in in then around Scotland at the time so that’s where I was at the time I’ve only just noticed it up there mate I’ve only just noticed it and it looks like on live TV just now Max ver stappen has won the Formula One for anyone that may have a bet on although I’m sure he was probably one to 100 as he seems to be winning every event so Steven Ellis made a big mistake Gio Edgar has a chance to get on the hill po kick here Perfection you see a glimpse of Mark Bo on the other table just about perfect doesn’t want to go too far lining it up just where he wants it to be he’s looking at all his eventualities here he’s looking to see where he’s good and where he’s not good so giving himself a couple of options maybe three Ines back would be perfect deciding to go slightly higher just to widen his angle so why did I stop playing football so AJ I um I did okay Youth Level I played with dund d uh had a small kind of window of training through the summer with abine um I then did serious damage to my left ankle and I ruptured ligaments on the inside and outside doing the damage to the inside was relatively an unknown thing at the time um I was then asked if my issues with my ankle and the keyhole surgery and the cameras and stuff that he used could be put into a book for learning because I was the first known recorded person that didn’t I mean people were in car crashes and stuff and on motorbike crashes would do something similar but they would snap their ankle bone at the same time I managed to do mine without breaking any bones which was apparently impossible until I did it so I then had a long road back and I was told off numerous Specialists I would never play football again but I did have a a short 3 month spell um signed as an amateur with stalen Alvin and had a great time a great fun me a lot of the guys it just didn’t work out for me I couldn’t do it um I was in a lot of pain week after week day after day and every training session and stuff like that was just it was hell to be honest but um if anyone could have given me a choice of what I would have done um it would have been played football every day the week um but now a coach involved in football coaching um I’m also doing a lot of stuff behind the scenes um towards possibly becoming a football agent and stuff so being involved in football was always a big thing for me mate but I had to stop um not by choice but basically by necessity so unfortunately that was that was just the way it went and that led me to the world of pool my actual last day of training with Stalin albian I walked out of the training session and walked into the local pub where a player known as John K tiger was playing pool on the table he says to me you want a frame I said I’ll have a frame with you and I won that frame I cut a black with a pub Q right up the rail and he looked at me and said why don’t you sign for the team and I was like no I didn’t even know pool teams existed it just was foreign to me about a year later I did eventually get involved in team pool and then it all kind of came from there but I did have a about a 10 year Exodus from the game playing seriously with working away from home and everything else it goes with family life so yeah me it’s it’s one of the things that there’s probably a million people out there with a hard luck story when it comes to football um I’ve heard loads of them myself but it’s not something that I generally go into any detail about but I must admit I’ve ever had a choice when somebody said you can go back in time and choose what you want to do that’s kicking a ball for me that’s no question stepen Ellis might have just played his last shot may have just played his last shot here one good positional shot from Gio if he can come through the Gap obviously the the black close to the yellow at the top left hand corner is not easy but the yellow closest to it should give him a chance to just flick it cheers AJ appreciate you mate yeah he he’s actually oh that’s not what he wanted it’s unfortunate I think that was one of the moments that he didn’t want to look the gift horse in the mouth so he seen the opportunity he took it but it never came out the way he hoped it never went to plan what can Gio do from here can he save the frame from this position it’s going to be tough that’s for sure he’s going to play the long yellow what a shot this will be what a shot this will be what a shot this is what a shot this is what a shot this is that was absolutely incredible absolutely incredible he was bridging over the top of the ball to nail that the full length of the table was absolutely unbelievable and a chance to win the match at this visit he would have lik to have been a bit further forward than that he’s going to he’s going to have to take his medicine on the last yellow I think I’m not sure he can get Prime position here he’s having a look just roughly where the red is maybe just inside it and then getting on the blacks not going to be easy so it’s going to be another couple of massive shots for de here yeah he’s it was awkward it was awkward but Steven Ellis is going to have to pound J has pulled out a couple of worldies he’s giving himself some serious problems here it was yellow first of that there’s no doubt big opportunity here Steven needs to take when for he’s looking good T he is looking good he’s in PL position a couple of balls to drop in just looks like he’s going to try and leave the one in the middle of the table to last there’s no problem with that I think he had numerous choices to be fair could have just dropped played the maybe stopped the we played the one into the middle give himself the angle to just go one cushioning up but this way he can just drop it in that’s what I quite like the way he’s went about this he’s taken a very simple way taking the cushion out of the equation Steven Ellis does punish Gio’s mistake after a world shot a world shot a world a world class recovery shot but Gio couldn’t get over the line he couldn’t execute the Finish for for [Music] for e spe e e for for for for for for for fore thought you’re liar was like to for for e e for e for for for for

re [Music] [Music] up [Music] [Music] you [Music] he [Music] [Music] up for sh for for help e spe e good afternoon guys I am back in the Box just going to try and sort a couple of things with the headset here see if I can’t help myself a touch on that sound that was there before I spoke to Craig and it should be okay out um so was a little bit of drama in the venue there I won’t go into too much detail but if anyone asks me face to face I will tell you what happened it was a bit crazy um however and the Mad thing is Cory and Matt were on opposite tables from each other a minute ago and the drama did happen in between those two tables um but we are back we’re live on the main table this is the quarterfinal stage I have to give a massive shout out to one of my very own Scotland team players my guy I selected personally for the Scotland B Team heading to co r at the end of the year um Greg mcmurren Greg who I’ve known for a long time he’s always had masses of ability um he’s always been in the mix especially in local events he’s done his he’s done his damage um many many times but from the start of this year he joined the IPA tour and he has been starting to get himself deeper and deeper into tournaments and he got to a semi-final of the the opening IPA Tour event in Newcastle and then had a decent run in the last one um but now he is really deep in this one so doing great for just had paty in the box there just for a we second but yeah I was talking about Greg um he’s obviously had some fantastic results over this weekend so I’m just want to give props to Greg for what he’s achieved so far and what he can achieve in the future if he keeps up this rate of improvement and not even you know what that’s probably the wrong bu Improvement this rate of consistency and it’s something that we’re all striving for um I’ve had some phenomenal results over the last while against some top top players um but one thing is keeping that consistency over the distance in a tournament um to be fair I haven’t really played bad this weekend last night um in a match against David Wiggins was actually quite a good standard I kind of lost my way touch at the end and for different reasons but um over the piece I actually played quite well over the weekend and I would probably suggest more than anything though that I would love to play more under the shot clock um I just felt that the game just seems to have a far better flow to it to a lot of people 30 second might seem quite quick um but it really did um I felt quite comfortable I really did I don’t know what the guys at home are watching if anyone’s in the chat function what they think if if they were ever putting the the shot clock I just think um 90% of guys ladies and gentlemen that played the game of pool or people that play at a decent level and maybe know their way around the table most of the time you instantly know the shot that you’re going to play if you’ve get x amount of time to second guess yourself third fourth fifth guess guess yourself and maybe come up with something totally different um and talk yourself out of shots I think that’s probably a bigger issue than anything else so I quite like the fact that once I made a decision on that during the 30C shot clock there was no change in my mind there was not really there was maybe the odd one I had to think about just a little touch so you got your extension and maybe just to set yourself properly and work out what you’re going to do with that shot but the decisions are made really early so it’s something I would love to be a big part of the game going forward it’s tough obviously there’s not enough referees to do the outside shot clocks but there some softbear genius out there could come up with a weight that maybe like chess after you play your shot you tap the screen and the 30 seconds Begins for your opponent and so forth and so forth and obviously if there’s a way they can do it where you get that one extension per per frame that you can simply give yourself as you’re looking at a table just give it another tap on your side it maybe goes to 60 seconds just start once but there has to be someone out there that knows how to do it because we have the tablets now available we have all these different things on these apps I think it would be phenomenal to have something like that how you doing Eddie going to work for your uncle that drives a taxi um oh you’ve got me thinking one is it it’s a couple of family members that drive the taxis Steven and Billy James there is a few mate trying to think what one you could be talking about here and Cory and mark off to a very level start but the in off there from Mark has given c a chance he’s opened him up well from the beginning here obviously Mark going in off didn’t help Cody’s initial shot opened the frame up he’s going to want to clear his feet a little bit maybe drop through he’s on the one to the top right hand corner than that he didn’t want to be too straight on I think he’s okay I think he can just about stun outside he could P it straight back so his angle was a lot better than it looked there’s play off the top left hand knuckle and what he can do is he he’s looking there like he’s not got the perfect angle here if he can just pull it straight back he’s okay and I think he can so just want punch a perfect angle on this I think he’s okay to just stun outside and maybe just a simple drop in over the last yellow yeah he’s absolutely perfect there absolutely perfect and the black goes down for a 2-1 lead for codyy Reese all brilliant stuff from Cory to start us off so Mark will not be getting two you won’t be getting too worried this is a long long race there’s a lot of P to be played and off that’s probably something he’s going to want to take out of the game well there’s definitely things that he want to improve on and the break short one of the biggest in the game these days so sometimes sometimes it can be the biggest difference in these matches in fact I’m saying sometimes quite a lot now it’s becoming more and more the big shot in the game and here’s a question for everybody watching how many people out there work on the break shot how many people do it and now we’re just talking about and off and Cory does it too yeah Joe so we’ve got stream table number two and Gio Edgar and Gareth hibit on it and on the main table with commentary we have Cory Reese and Matt fransworth and these are the the live games for the quarterfinals when these matches finish there is other cameras in the room that can be maneuvered to cover the other tables what the aim will be to get the semi-finals on as soon as possible there is a number of guys in here that have got a bit of traveling to do so when this match when these matches finished they’ll be looking to get started as quickly as they can Mark fans worth hitting back straight away after his own in off and Cory ree goes in off right after it and like I said guys I’ve asked a question how many of you work on your break J after the last two tournaments I’ve had I’ll be working on mines well I actually complain about my break quite a lot I really do it and it’s something that I really really need to work on and because it either wins me a frame or badly loses me a frame there so often that I’m breaking off and leaving my opponents a good chance um and to be honest I get punished quite a lot for so I would definitely be there’s a lot of things I remember years ago watching guys practi in the skill shot the two and one the combination whatever you call and I often wondered what the the best way to get I used to ask a question do you screw it back do you play it with top do you stun it what do you do and a guy named Alan Reynolds said to me Steven just go and practice them it doesn’t matter what bit of the we you H just practice a shot and eventually they will become second nature to you I spent hours for months practicing these shots I started playing them along cushions I started playing them off your plants I practiced them um with balls hanging close to every bag then I took the balls further and further away from the pockets realizing that the momentum that the ball carries is a lot more than just dropping into the pocket and I got pretty good at these shots um it’s not a shot that I practice much these days but it’s a shot that I got very good at back then and I was using them a lot in matches so so much so that a lot of people kind of worried about hanging a pocket but I then said a while ago this wasn’t that long ago that I was struggling with specific shots and Alan R old friends he said to me stepen how was it you got so good at the two and ones can you remember and I said oh yeah I practiced them every day and he looked at me and I went ah so the way to get good at the other stuff is to practice it as much as you possibly can and so I think the breakoff shot is massive absolutely massive so maybe we should all be having a goal at practicing that M that break shot um but it’s definitely something that needs to be worked on uh by all of us keep the yeah well that’s the thing Jamie with the cut break as well when I was using a big tip when I was playing the cut break and I was losing the we I was losing it quite a lot as well and then um I actually asked Mr Mart Bo about the about the way he plays it CU he plays it with such pace and he mentioned to me that he uses a tip in similar size to his playing queue and it allows him to hit the same part of the ball and play with conviction and so I’ve started to notice a lot of people that use a cut break use a much smaller tip um where it be 8.75 um which I’m sure a lot of guys are using in the pool game these days so I think um that might be I don’t know what size of tip you use to break and stuff like that but it’s definitely worth considering uh a smaller tip or whatever I mean if it’s your own playing queue and it’s then you can maybe work on the point of contact but it’s definitely something that we all need to work on the break shot has became so big these [Music] days for for for D that’s one of the things um a couple of weeks ago must Robert Steven he’s he generally cut breaks and he’s got a pretty good one doesn’t Hur it too hard and he was working on a front break as well to try and get something of a different option when maybe his cut break or his natural break isn’t working his way so um it’s definitely a shot should be worked on because it’s becoming such a big part of the game most people can pot and most players that play at a decent level can take a finish when it’s presented to them so I think if you can get the breakoff shot decent um try and minimize your work May a chance of doing a bit better but I must admit it’s not a shot that I’ve actually went in and got the balls out and just practiced my break even for half an hour I don’t know how many breaks you would get in half an hour but I would imagine it’s quite a lot um just working on the timing of it and catching the same part of the the Q ball at a certain point maybe getting your hand on the table at the same point over and over but that is such an important shot these days you don’t see too many tactical frames I mean even no disrespect to the guys that aren’t at the the same level um is most of the top guys but you actually see so many guys just going for finishes they just start poting balls they leave dead balls to last they leave balls that are maybe stuck to cushions or maybe stuck in between a cluster and then they try and kick them out with a last ball and stuff like that um but generally most people are going for finishes because they see the top guys breaking and finish and breaking and finishing over and over and over so it just becomes one of the things that everybody wants to do it but it’s not as easy as that the breakoff shot definitely makes it a touch easier must be a little bit of a timeout here yeah time’s running again and we’re talking about the brakes and that looks like a dry one it’s just showing how important it can be both of these guys have gone in off already and gifted each other a frame and now what can mark do with this situation here because he’s got a good chance on yellows and he’s oped to go safe there it wasn’t easy obviously the chance on the yellows I’m going to assume that the one closest to the red in the left middle doesn’t go oh doesn’t go clean into the middle obviously goes in the top and bottom but is’s that oped to be a bit more conservative so Cory’s got what to do it’s not a bad shot Marx blade prob a very clever shot and the grand scheme of things doesn’t want to force a shoot codyy actually he didn’t really have too many options there so he did Force the a shoot I think the red just above the yellow at the bottom left corner might be just high enough for that yellow to go the yellow and red in the middle of the table I think that yellow pass into the bottom right corner and it definitely will go now there’s no there’s no issues now for Mark he just has to map these out make a decision I don’t know what kind of angle he’s got if if that yellow passes into the left middle the one the center of the table I don’t know if it passes if it does he could drop it in just now and get these two yells out the way down the bottom and then work his way up if he can just kiss the red he should be just about perfect oh he’s decided to go really aggressive there maybe that yellow didn’t go it looked to me like he was trying to move it yeah it looked like he was trying to move it there and all the Reds have a pocket now they only issue is it’s a difficult start off just has to compose himself cue the ball he’s done so and you have to fancy Cy to take these out now he is a bit straight on the top red but I can just screw back off the left hand cushion just work his way over oh he was okay he was okay just a little stun out looked like he was dead straight there a little bit of side just below center of the way just using a nice B of C that was enough what’s his decision going to be though on that one at the right hand side is he going to take it in the middle is he going to take it in the top well that answers the question but he’s not landed where he would have liked if he can get through the Gap to the one at the bottom left he’s actually want to watch here he’s got pretty lucky it’s definitely not what he played and if he can’t get through which I don’t think he can he’s going to have to take this one in the top another one of these instances and he’s C lot of dream he had to bridging over the ball digging down on the Q ball always a tough shot always a tough shot now what do you do here guys do you drop this in drift through the Gap I think that’s a difficult shot you just stun across little kind of delicate screw across through the Gap brilliant shot absolutely brilliant judged that to Perfection judged it to absolute perfection Cody ree on the verge of an equalizer here should be okay to just yeah he’s got a bit more angle than he would have liked but I don’t think he had any other option there so he can just screw across take the black in the same pocket you’ve got options to drop it in and play the black into the right middle um Cy wanting to get his que through the ball doesn’t want to be drifting anything in he want to play as pure as he can and Cory ree is back on level terms I’ll give you some of the scores right now guys we’ve got Liam dunster One Christian Phillips 2 Greg McMillan one Chris Boron three and on the other stream table G Edgar two gbit two and as you know guys on the table currently live for you all to watch Cory and Mark are sharing this Bo so far three frames a piece so big break off shop the break hasn’t been great for both guys so far and what can MK do here and he’s gone in off again this same pocket the exact same pocket unfortunately for Mark but it looks to me like he’s going to go 43 down with Cory to break in the next frame and it’s the exact same it’s I mean it’s came off the side and then through the Gap and between all the balls that are moving it is unfortunate and it’s hit two balls on the way through as well it’s not been in clean it’s hit two balls on the way through so it is unfortunate that the Q ball was tracking in that direction and momentum took over as it clipped off both balls and found its way into the pocket oh that most definitely was not the shot that Cory Reese was playing Cy most definitely wanted yellow’s there he wanted that yellow over the pocket and that was his ball for the black but he has majorly overcooked it he’s got decisions to me no [Music] so back mistake from Cory that came in the beginning of the two shots over hitting the yellow there was a massive error and he’s allowed MK farmsworth to get back at the table with a huge opportunity here to Reg regain momentum after going in off for the second time absolutely massive any lead in these matches is so important oh it wiped its feet but it’s gone in now I wonder if he can just check straight back out between the two yellows what if he has to go around the angles here he’s the side of the angles as a shot I think he can just about maybe screw on and off the side cushion or does he use the angles again I don’t think he can I think the yellow’s in the way so screw on and off the yellow was always going to be in the way it was always going to be a problem he’s got a shot in the black and sometimes it’s all we can hope for At Any stage in the match how many times guys do you say I just wish I had a shot I wish I had a shot well Mark’s got a shot and Mark takes it so Mark should have been punished for his in off Cory is going to take a little quick recess off to the toilet splash some hot water on his face and he’ll be hoping to come back and get that out of his mind as quickly as possible you don’t want to allow things like that to get to you too much but Mark is now 4-3 in front in this match and it is Mark to break in the next frame sorry codyy to break it was when Mar went in off I was saying codyy we break next and it could be taking on 5-3 in front so I got myself mixed up there Cory will get to break and a chance to hit back but he’s now having to come back when he should have been trying to kick on as you can see on screen just now Greg McMan and Chris Boron the gold standard TR about to go 42 in front crisby Flint ianson in the last round I think it was 105 and Greg McMillan beat Adam griffus by 10 frames to eight so some some quality on show over this weekend that has to be said and Gio Edgar and Gareth hbit are absolute phenomenon the youngster Against The Godfather and that is an intriguing match I must admit and it could go all the way so here we go Cody to break and it’s not the best he’s put himself in a bit of trouble here it’s one of the ones where he’s got a decent break the balls are in good position but it’s not perfect by any stretch so he’s got work to do he’s got a lot of work to do here what is on his mind it has to be the containing shot surely it has to be yeah Liam well if you’re breaking no matter where you are on the table if you aim down on the Q ball it’s going to jump so for me I think this simple thing to do is make sure you’re queing as flat as possible um and stay down as much as possible so I don’t think it’s um I mean obviously technically you can work on these things but the timing of the break is massive and I think that just comes with years of practice but the guys at the top end of this game it is no flick they are so good at what they do so good the way they play the game but the breakoff shot for me is one of the biggest weapons in the game and some of these guys are just incredible so a touch aggressive there a touch of aggression and it’s gifted cor a chance it’s a huge opportunity and he’s going to want to take it this time so the only Touch of what I see is just how he takes these yellows that he’s looking at just now I think in an ideal world he would have been on the Gap and he could have dropped the one nearest to pocket in just flicking the red and then it would have just been left middle right middle left middle bottom is going to be slightly different he’s still absolutely perfect here he can just stop the Q Ball even bring it back a quarter of an inch that’s okay he’s just going to do very very similar route he still went left middle right middle left middle bottom for the black it was just the the order that he took the two yellows in a bit further than he would have liked but he’s okay just screw straight back here maybe down a couple of inches and maybe he was coming towards the red just given himself a good enough shot on this I don’t see Cy making any mistakes you can see there so he might have been coming close to the red so he’s just taking it right out the equation and it is for each and in quick fire fashion Gio is 4-3 in front of G tibbet now Liam dunster two frames a piece with Christian Phillips and it looks like Chris boron has a chance to go 52 in front of Greg McMillan Greg has obviously had a chance he hasn’t taken and Chris has these yellows which I must a fancy him to take he doesn’t want to be greedy on this that’s a way just leave it long he’s absolutely spot on there absolutely perfect didn’t want it be greedy didn’t want to be stunning way out and trying to be perfect on them just to roll in Middles or and just giving himself a shot and it’s one he’ll take very easily absolutely perfect so it will be 5-2 to Chris in the match against Greg McMillan and Chris to me looks like a man well and truly in form can you believe this can you believe this Mart falsworth has gone in off again but the Mad thing is guys he’s gone in off three times and he’s still four each in this match now I expect codyy should take these out here he should be going into a 5-4 lead well you have to think things could be a lot worse for Mart than be one frame behind when you’ve gone in off on the break three times so he wants to open it all up in one go here and that’s a way to do it using your one free shot for numerous purposes yeah that’s decent could have been a touch better but the table has opened up now and the chance on yellows I think is better than Reds I just want to screw past the red in an Ideal World they would have had this yellow as his last ball well there’s plenty of other options here I think i’ be tempted to take the they one in the top right corner just now he maybe screw back for it that’s not ideal maybe he’s just got enough of the angle he doesn’t want to be drifting past the red he’s looking at it just now so he puts the yellow into the left middle after this one does not want to have an angle that takes him past that red he could end up snooker and be far away on the wrong side for heading to the eight ball the decision here on this shot is how far forward they can take the C Ball yeah he’s in a bit of trouble here I think no he’s okay actually he’s going to take the top one of the two and I think he has to I think he’s played it that way in fact he has played it that way there’s no doubt he couldn’t get where he wanted to be on the one closest to the red so making sure he had the distance which would widen the angle going off the right cushion up to the top and he’s actually played that perfect Cory he’s played it absolutely spot on absolutely spot on very well done Cory Reese he’s got a chance here now if he can just get the right angle on the black I think he’s going to be perfect he’s just off straight here so he should be able to just stun towards the middle pocket he won’t play any kind of pace to bring it into play he’ll just come down slightly low yeah look at that perfect yeah that was a good shot he played the one when he rolled the yellow into the top right corner there’s no doubt he wanted the other ball first he looked he lined it up but once he realized he couldn’t he changed his mind and did it well and punished a mark fans worth in off this time and Cory is five frames to four in front and Cory will break here this is another opportunity to kick on you can see some of the other matches in full swing Chris has missed a plan some of the guys that are in here watching and supporting Greg giv a bit of a shout there come on Greg walking Greg McMillan do to get himself back in that match he’s 52 down there’s a lot of pull to be played now what can Cory ree do to inflict further damage on Mark fransworth he’s got a ball he’s got a ball has he got an opener it’s not easy look at the black ball down in the bottom cushion the black ball in the bottom cushion is absolutely wed so he’s got what to do now so he’s going to take the he’s Chang his mind by the looks of it he was going to take that yellow in the top left hand corner yeah he’s got the spider now there still work to be done here there’s no doubting that from this position yellows might well be the balls there’s not much in the space of containing shots here so I’m must admit guys I’m wondering what Cory has in mind for the black ball e for for f don’t for e for for had a visitor in the the box for a few minutes here the winner of the football card that was on show for the weekend py m has won the half a thousand prize so another attempt there that codyy had to try and kick on in this match and unfortunately he’s not manag to do so so there is nothing to separate these two just now you see the scores on your TV screen Greg McMillan has got himself back to 63 from 62 down and Gio is absolutely flying against Gareth he has now seven frames to two seven frames to three sorry in front um yeah seven frames to three that’s on the other stream table and chrisan Phils and Liam dunster not much to separate those two it’s three frames [Music] all for so this time my qall is on the table and there’s a chance on these Reds yes Stephen I fully agree that um last visit there from Cory I think probably the better option would have been just to maybe slide off the yellow and just invite mark back to the table until there was such a chance that there was a guarantee maybe not even a guarantee but at least a high percentage chance that you might get it um instead he went for a very very I mean it was close to Impossible finish from where he was situated and even if he still landed on that yellow I mean what was he going to do with the black so many yellows down and the black ball was still sitting not even an attempt to try and get it out yet so I have to think that Cory maybe hoped more than anything that he was going to get a chance to get it out but he just didn’t do so but Mark fwortho wants to get back over to this cushion just now you would have lik to have been a bit straighter there because ideally for Cory would have wanted to be on the yellow closes to the red on the right hand side and get that out the way I mean for me I would maybe be taking that right now take it just now and then come back and take this one on the cushion and then the two yellows that’s left I think he I mean I really think he’d be better off taking just now he’s going to leave it let’s hope it doesn’t come back to bite him [Music] just need to don’t know what happen happened there with the sound sorry guys um just needs a right angle here I was kind of looking over at the other screen there where Gio is on a finish to go 93 in front of Gareth hiber absolutely perfect C re absolutely perfect and it looks like Gio will go 93 in front of G hbit that’s Cory Reese poun he on a mistake from Mark fransworth and it seems to be the story of this match guys both of these players giving each other chances there really does have to be a stop of the rot well these guys if they want to kick on in the match Liam dun goes 43 in front of Christian Phillips so that match falling behind ever so slightly over the rest they’re just going into frame number eight rment and Chris bour on 10 m f scor 11 Gio Edgar and GTH hi going into frame number 12 let all go here it is all go and what can codyy do can he kick on last St and he’s gone an off guys this is absolutely incredible absolutely incredible I don’t know if there’s a record for the most in offs in a match but this is five or six between these two um that’s absolutely unbelievable absolutely unbelievable what is Mark’s decision going to be he’s taking Reds he’s just using that yellow to get himself close to the the one really awkward red down at the bottom corner of the table he would have love to be on the red highest of the two closest to the left middle that would have just allowed him to have a little bit more scope at that point but he’s okay from here up both Reds look like they pass into the middle and obviously the bottom one definitely does while the other one goes in the top if he has to go that way he’s going to take the the highest of The Two Reds just now he’s just not as good as he would have liked on that top red he’s going to want to get on it now though I don’t know if he could have got a bit closer there but it looks to me as if he’s going to chase the white around two cushions he maybe end up with an option of both of the Reds maybe a left corner he’s coming all the way down you know what it’s okay it’s a lot further than he would have liked but he’s okay he can just run this in the top and just push the we through that should leave him absolutely perfect he just dro the red in yeah he’ll just drop off the cushion down towards the black and again Mark forworth hits back here and Cody has not been able to get any daylight between himself and Mark now Gareth being super aggressive there and not getting the reward he didn’t have Hammer that one in he’s absolutely sted at home so the thin cut doesn’t drop it’s as good a second priz as he could have asked for my Gio has a couple of Reds that he can play and try and get it into play he’s going to be aggressive no matter what nine frames to three in front he’s going to go for it right now unfortunately it didn’t come out the way it would have liked but Gareth has an absolute astronomical Mountain to clim to get even close to Gio in that match so Gio won’t be too worried as of yet now Mark might have preferred the Reds here but it’s going to be yellows and the yellows aren’t bad I would say the reds are slightly better but there isn’t a shot on reds yeah it’s just the one the lost one of the two yellows it’s close to each other he’s going to have he’s going to have to play a good shot off it and guarantee that he gives himself oh is he going to have a goal right now no he’s not he’s just going to drop to the top end of the table need a CU slow down yeah just dropped to the top absolutely perfect that just clears its feet I like the way he’s going about this there’s no doubt he would have preferred a little bit of angle here when he could maybe have just stunned the black out I think he just dropped through should be okay should be okay I think he’s on the one to the bottom so it’s just he’s just checking his angle right now just to make sure he can play what he needs to but I think he if he gets to to a position where he can drop the yellow in the left middle just maybe push through to play the black into the opposite middle pocket he may even be able to hold it and play in the top right hand corner it just depends on how much of that yellow he can see and how much of the pocket it can go in now he’s held it a lot more than I thought he would so does he feel like he can stun through the gap or can he just screw the red out the way I’m going to go for red out the way red out the way black in the top left hand corner no he’s Wai for the shot I mentioned in the first place to just slide past the black and play in the opposite middle and a play that we loads aside just to carry it through Matt fwortho all the way Gareth has just slammed the ball into the middle and screwed up and kicked the black the red and the yellow all into position he’s now got a chance he’s just about perfect there and Gareth will get a frame on the ball here it’s going to be nine frames to four at one point that match was really tight and Gio just flew away racking up a number of frames in a row and left Gareth with a massive job in his hand trying to get anything from the match will come back to the main table and I was about to say the Q ball was in danger again what the worst case scenario as the white went in unfortunately no other colors went in so Mark is at the table and he’s got a chance and it looks to me like every red has somewhere to go so there’s a chance here for Mark fransworth just has to compose himself and he can create some daylight between him and Cory ree still what to be done but you have to say it’s a huge opportunity here not fans wor him through a grilling tie against L MC in the last round 10-8 both players were on the table next to each other Cy was playing Greg Davis and it was another match that went all the way I think it was 108 in that match as well so both of these guys have played a lot of frames today never mind over the weekend this is a massive opportunity that you have to feel that Mark fans worth has to take anyone that’s been watching this game from the start will know that both of these guys have been chipping frames backing forward to each other chipping so many opportunities that both of these guys have had and so many of them that they’ve taken to give the opposition play up the chance the break off has been mad I mean to go in off as much as they have I think it’s five it could be six times but the breakoff shot has been massive in the match but not just that the amount of times that both guys have tossed a chance towards you each other when the chance was there to be taken all on their own so a stun up off the cushion loads and loads aside and he’s going to have to go top cushion him back down here it looks thin I think he can C it I think he can just about get it it looks like he can just about dig into enough and the loads are side Beyond this absolutely brilliant absolutely [Music] brilliant and there is daylight now in this match for the first time since the early part of this match Mark Farnsworth is kicking on and unfortunately for C he is now the man chasing he’s had so many chances to create day at his end so many chances to kick on so much in this match but unfortunately Cody hasn’t managed to do it unfortunately for Mark he is now the man in the lead tier eight frames to six and charging towards 10 at a rapid Pace you see scores guys on the screen Liam dunster five frames to four in front of Christian Phillips Greg McMillan four Chris boron six Gio had nine frames to four in front of G and Gio is at the table with a chance so you on reds looking at the table you don’t see too many issues so looks like Gio will be one of our in fact he will be the first semifinalist of the Scottish Grand Prix brought to you by the IPA and we are in M Gold’s P Sports Bar in Glasgow should I say on the outskirts of Glasgow now the RL area which was once part of Glasgow now Glasgow over spill but but to most people it will always be part of the Glasgow area but we are here in a fantastic venue for some of the best players and some of the great p on show has been phenomenal this weekend and none other than Gio who has been fantastic from day one stunned at him with a B of side just following through it he’s just going to run this in off the cushion straight back out black ball in the same pocket and Gio is our first semi-finalist Neil Neil they were on yesterday right the subtitles were on yesterday and even this morning and I was in hysterics the subtitles were saying I was I was obviously using the name Matt fransworth and it was saying Farms off as in some farmer had turned the lights off and yeah I mean as much as I expect some people might have the odd issue here and there that’s that’s fair enough I mean I’ve watched um so many different programs Through The Years growing up maybe from scows and Jordy and London and what have you and I think most of us um took the time to learn to understand certain slangs and phrases but for some reason us people in Glasgow seem to have it a bit tougher than everyone else in the UK when it comes to understanding but we do our best um but as you said mate even the subtitles on the famous YouTube just can’t seem to get it right some of the words are absolutely hilarious I do agree black bur the same pocket yeah I had them on they were on in here for a couple of days and I actually found myself looking at the the subtitles more than I was the pool um some of the things that that was saying was absolutely [Music] incredible so Mr Farms off is about to go n six in front here if he can just drift past without any danger and it will be the black into the bottom right hand corner and Greg just getting in his way there but Mark does send the black home and Cory has had his chances for everyone that’s been watching this from the start Cory has had numerous chances numerous opportunities to get himself so far in front he’ll be disappointed but Mark has hung in there he’s waited his time and he’s took his chance when they’ve came and he is one frame away from the semi-final and if it SS me correct it looks to me like the one out of that will play Gio edar massive break off again can Cody keep the Q ball on the table and can he a ball to give himself a chance to stay in this match Q ball safe and there is one down e a massive chance here for Cody massive chance that’s that’s the what was that one down that’s um Bon when they’re in the left they’re saying 11 11 they’re saying you’ve got to do it an American accent 11 and they’re at it for ages before you know they’re on each other’s shoulders shouting at the shouting at the speaker Brave heart yeah William Wallace Yi oh that is a that’s one of the funniest ones there a good one with uh on Bon with the rols any rolls um a few of these sketches are okay I must admit but the RT one is good that’s good I can’t understand the word that they’re saying yeah I mean I’ve got an Alexa in the house and it seems to do okay um but if Alexa was using the same software as YouTube subtitles then I must admit um I would be rather baffled by what was coming on Alexa when the words that seem to be coming up on that screen um that is quite funny I must M some of the words I’ve seen coming up on it are just incredible can he hold the we here I don’t know if he has I think he’s come too far the camera angle might be deceiving but it looks like he might have come too far here and the fact that he’s not already went down and played it and he’s already used his extension so he’s going to have to play he’s just going to drop it in ah fantastic shot Cory Ree fantastic shot from codyy there he obviously wasn’t happy with what he played in the first place mechanical device here oh my word codyy did get one back but now we’re looking atam dun Christian Phillips match and it looks like Christian on these Reds Liam how are you um I’m going to guess you were in The Players Lounge having a game it’s pretty good in there brilliant play Santa’s got as well that’s one of the venues that gets held um well we hold the Sal Tire events in between mulix and players yeah I was actually the funny thing is for the last few weeks I’ve been working just around the corner from there I know you were up and they probably pop round um that sounds good mate so here we go can Mark get over the line here set up a mouthwatering TI against Gio Edgar as he running towards the yellow here can he just pass through that’s the question he’s taking his time on this I don’t know if something happened there if it was a bit of a timeout but time seemed to stand still and Mark wasn’t in shot he could push through I fancy him to get these you know yes so he’s got about a time out just now GRE m m at the table next to the match table here so Marco just allowed Greg to play his shot only two Scottish players left Scott no sorry three Scottish players left and we have Liam dunster and Greg McMillan currently battling in the quarterfinals and young goo the young pup of the bunch is already in the semi-final so we have three Scots a couple of Elman and a couple of Englishmen after these ties are done it’s going to be a multinational semi-final that much is for sure unless Greg and Liam can overcome Christian and Chris if they do you could potentially have three Scots in the semi-final now Mark fonsworth is looking to be the first Englishman and Chris Boron will be hoping to be the second Liam duner who’s play playing Christian Phillips right now both of these guys a level at five frames a piece and Greg McMillan is still chasing after Chris boron in that match was M fransworth he might have wanted to come A Touch father for that you can see how quickly he’s gone down he’s absolutely fine and uses the yellow to his advantage and Matt fenworth is this black away from a place in the semi-final and he does it massive congratulations to Mark fans worth no wonder the subtitles can’t understand me the way that just out my mouth there I don’t even understand it congratulations Mark fransworth um Cy had his chances to kick on early in the match it didn’t happen Mark just stuck up about he hung in there and he waited his opportunity and he took it and he is our second semi-finalist so we have one Scott and one Englishman in the semi-final and we still have two Scots an Englishman and a Welsh in the other quarterfinal matches that are being played very tightly just now but Chris Boron is about to go 75 in front of Greg McMillan as you can see on your screen right now so Greg had one red on the table there guys I’m going to assume that I had a chance unless by Magic and Greg turned into Paul Daniels overnight that those other Reds disappeared that’s one hell of a trick without having a chance so m goldricks is starting to get a buzz about it we are only an hour away from a big chance for Scotland to get themselves into The Knockout of a major football tournament for the first time in their history which is absolutely mental considering the players that Scotland have had through the years and although those individual talents have alluded as in recent years they are a decent team they work well together they’ve got a good manager I think of the talent that used to come through on these Scotty Shores about problem with coaching I believe as a young coach myself my biggest thing is about coaching technical ability plenty of touches of the ball just give the kids a ball and let them play Too Many training sessions these days are done uh kids are running about mad playing tig with the buses and they’re forgetting how to use a football I hear things like yeah he’s full of energy that kid oh he can run all day I’m like if I can run all day put them to an Athletics Club then we don’t need a kid to run all day we need them to play football so I think the days um of the crazy coaching need to change maybe it will happen over the next while maybe if I can get my teeth into the SFA something would change but I honestly don’t believe there’s enough coaches like me there’s too many of them that just want to win at Youth Level and then by the time the kids are older the big fast strong guys get outdone by the guys that are good on the ball it’s been happening for too many years now but they’ve got a chance tonight and good luck to the Scottish boys I’ll be excited watching that so Greg McMillan and Chris Boron are on your stream just now chance for Greg don’t overthink it lad keep it nice and simple for me the reds are probably the balls and The Two Reds down the bottom you could take one into the bottom left corner the other one into to the right middle take both of them into the bottom left corner and then you’ve got your last ball for your black and I think that’s what’s worrying Greg it’s why he’s tempted to go yellows here if Greg starts poting yellows and doesn’t get them he’s going to leave a big chance for Chris mark this is no word of a lie um I am 100% a forward thinker uh I just believe that kids are sponges I believe they can take things in that a lot of adults can’t these days um I just think there’s a way to teach I believe there’s a way and in what we can create intelligence in young footballers um and I just don’t think there’s enough of it um I get asked numerous questions from different coaches and parents that will come and say to me how how do you get those kids playing that type of football at such a young age and it’s like well it’s all we’ve ever done we don’t believe in kicking the ball high we don’t believe in lumping it we don’t believe in anything that doesn’t equate to kids getting plenty of touches of the ball so but also think that’s something that can be coached into anybody um so you’ve been on my list of people that I might talk to if I wanted to take another step in the game but I must admit something that intrigues me I love working with the kids I love working with the academy and we’ve we’ve came so far and we do get a lot of praise for the way we go about our business but I don’t think there’s enough people like the way we do it and that’s that’s a massive problem for me so this table has opened up massively Now for Chris Boron and I can’t help but feel that the Reds were always the balls and Greg is in big trouble if he can’t take these out now does a yellow go in the top Corner the one in the outside doesn’t look like it to me we’re about to find out that’s for sure is you want to play a plant I think guys I think Greg is going to play a plant into the right middle here now how’s your luck because I don’t think he’s on anything yeah Mark have I’ve got the luxury I have in the other stream um in the booth next to me I got to see quite a bit of goo’s game while I was commentating on the Mart fwortho and Gio looked like he was absolutely flying he took the chances he expect him to take his break was going well for him um it was massive and it performed absolutely phenomenally so a massive congratulations to him as another chance goes a begging for Greg McMillan here so The Two Reds down the bottom are still a type of problem that Chris would like to remedy his f as he can he wouldn’t he didn’t want these as his last two balls now but if he can drop in behind him he’s going to have numerous options and he can’t help but think that those are the same options that Greg would have had when he refused to take Reds and go yellows and the only thing in his mind was they Two Reds but for me they had numerous other Pockets to go in I must admit that looked a bit it looked a bit I don’t know it looked a bit pushy to me but I’m only on the screen behind it it just looked like the way the white ball moved was a bit dodgy I don’t know if it was just the way Chris swung his arm at it um the white did jump as it went to the side um and it’s not came in the angle he thought he had but he’s still at the table what can he do it looks to me like the bottom red passes I don’t think there’s any issue there if he can take the pocket he’s going to be a big favorite here he’s not going to want it to drop and he’s not going to want to leave Greg a chance which he’s done so what can Greg do here can he pull out a world day yeah that’s that’s it was just the way I just kind of looked around at it um Neil and just looked like the white didn’t go where he wanted it to and I did see it kind of take a jump but it just looked like one of these shots that you maybe have to look at it twice but as I say I didn’t see it properly just as I looked at the screen he was just swinging his arm at it and it didn’t look didn’t look great but I think that’s that goes without saying because it did did not go anywhere near where Chris was expecting it to go so I think it’s one of them that just went wrong what is Greg thinking here if he’s thinking of sliding off that yellow I think he’s going to cause himself some problems I think this is what he has to do I think he has to be aggressive here can play this he’s played that bit py he’s C two shots I think I don’t know if anyone’s seen on the screen there Greg put his hand up it looked like he was putting up two fingers to say two shots I can’t imagine what for no I don’t know what he was doing his fingers there but maybe it was just a bit of frustration yeah g I totally agree I just think it’s not went where he wanted it to go that shot from Chris and I think that’s what made the shot look a bit off um when I’ve said it looked a bit pushy but I think it was just the way Chris took a swing at it there’s no doubt in that Chris would be the first one to call it that’s that goes without saying um I’ve actually done a couple of these matches over the last while and I’ve seen him he was on the outside stream table I think in Newcastle um and called a foul on himself that baffled the opponent because nobody and I mean nobody seen anything at all but it just showed the class of the man he called it in an instant now I think Greg can knck this yellow in I think he’s going to have to screw around the back of the black he’s going to have to be careful of the right middle pocket yeah I don’t like the way he’s looking like playing like to slide off the red but I think the way go here I think the way to go here is to screw around um well let’s see what Greg thinks yeah it’s killed the black at the same time there I didn’t like that it just seemed a negative way to play it I think he had to be full blooded on that Ali M Ali mccoa yeah he’s played that in such a negative way there I just um just a surprise the way Greg can be very aggressive the way he plays the game he’s also very tactical at times but unfortunately right now he’s not getting it right Greg and it’s not going his way but he’s trying to hang in there he’s obviously left Chris a chance here but if you look at what Chris Chris is going to just drop us down over the bottom bag now the black is Stone dead now it is absolutely Stone dead so what can Greg do to change his stars in this Frame and in doing so maybe he can turn the match around but he’s in a bit of trouble he’s in a bit of trouble that’s for sure there’s a lot of stuff to do here there’s a lot of shots to be played but Chris Boron is a massive favorite here massive favorite he might have to just give himself a shot at a double or something like that chills me actually get that quite a lot now what has he left Chris he’s left Chris he’s left him the the Boward shot and if Chris gets a Bard bang on I tell you what guys I tell you what it’s going to be a highlight real moment here we go I tell you what look at that he’s called it before he played it and Chris Bor on I tell you what guys that is a first class shot and CH Bor on I than huge opportunity here to stretch his lead to eight frames to five in this match ah chills mate yeah brilliant from Chris can’t help but F Greg took the wrong balls Scott grad I like that shot cuz if Greg can get the bottom corner he’s got a chance to get the black out at the same time so yeah there was opportunities there he decided to try and play the slow R snooker he almost got it but he left Chris The Bard and Chris had the chance and he took the chance and I have to say that greig now is chasing a man in top form and Chris does look like he’s going to take some stopping his match against Clint earlier on where he beat Clint 105 a few people that were watching that told me how good he played he was absolutely phenomenal so he’s well in this tournament that’s for sure for e for he for e for for spe e [Music] spe e

waiting on the piper slow his role but he is in full swing that’s tell you what he must have a bigger lung capacity than Moses kep and it’s going to be Mark fransworth and Gio Edgar on the main table Christian Phillips and Chris [Music] Boron on the outside stream table so we have two Englishmen a Welshman and a young kid from Thailand in the semi-finals [Music] on the big screen in here the Scotland game is nearing its beginning a result against Hungary a result that this Victory will guarantee knockout football for the first time so massive good luck to my home nation I’m dying to just scream Freedom at the top of my voice but I’m going to keep that to myself right now but if we win I’m going to run right out into that car park and scream it at the top of my lungs but come on Scotland give us something to shout about for once give us something to shout [Music] about these earphones are doing my head in man I’ve never seen a twisted wire like it in my life so guys I’m going to do my best to keep my eye on this match I don’t know if anyone that has been in mulix knows what the the booth is like there is six screens one has the two TV tables on it one has the scoreboard one is zoned in on the match table the other one is the YouTube link the other one is loads and loads of mad details I have no idea what it is um it seems to have an overhead view but it’s just I don’t know what it is I really don’t it’s just loads and loads of numbers X’s and O’s and L’s and P’s and loads of stuff um so anyway and then on in the very middle of the top so we have three at the bottom three at the top and the Very middle on the top row there the TV screen with the football on it so I’ll do my best not to be staring at that over and [Music] over [ __ ] how you doing mate K ACDC [Music] mon that’s guy I’m not joking we need to get this guy tested because the lung capacity he has got is [Music] [Laughter] [Music] unbelievable ah Freedom that’s nowhere near the level that I want to scream that up but tonight I am in deep hope that Scotland can do [Music] it but that will be tough you know I’ve heard that actually that if hungry were to beat us they might actually go through themselves so it’s all to play for guys I can only imagine that this match might start about 11:00 tonight cuz this bag pipe guy is absolutely [Music] flying go hand it to him [Music] got to hand it to him he’s uh he’s good at what he [Music] does oh no way one of these oh I can’t believe a guy that’s just walked in the door and I don’t even think there’s any there’s probably no way I can even get a picture for anybody to see it um unless I could speak it over the microphone this guy has just walked in um he’s dressed rather mental as you can imagine but he’s also he’s he’s H remember the what are they FS um the kind of spoof oh what’s his name and he goes doubley ver whatever it is in the we the we Min me in that um oh what’s the name of the FMS somebody help me I’m all I’m I’m all over the camp here somebody helped me with the name of the films the guy wears the glasses in that and ah it’s going to annoy me now it’s going to annoy me but anyway the guys came in dressed as the person’s cult fat B and I am not joking he is the living image of the guy from Austin PS that’s it is absolutely nuts she’s get a t it looks like some kind of it looks like a Norwegian typed Viking hat but it’s covered in Tartan where bells on the end of it he’s got a Scotland flag wrapped around him he’s unbelievable he’s definitely having a good time that’s F you [Music] up he’s just walk P again unbelievable these events definitely bring the best out in [Music] people I need to try and sneak a picture of this guy maybe try and get it on the the IPA Facebook he’s nuts he’s absolutely [Music] nuts I don’t know what’s going on here mate I don’t know if we’re about to charge on Kalil or something this is mental [Music] Mark fanor seems to have disappeared if he comes back in with a kilt on this place is going to kick [Music] off I don’t know if um bag pipe Bob got the memo that we have a major tournament on here but big Bob on the back pipes is not [Music] given he’s not giving it a minute man he is absolutely on fire I’ve just I’ve just saw Craig he’s in the middle of the room walking about with a set of earphones on no wonder I love the pipes I absolutely love it but this is a new one for me in the middle of pool tournament [Music] a Scottish Grand Prix if you wondered guys where the event was being held it might be the Scottish Grand Prix and just in case you missed it on the name we are in the midst of Scotland and the middle of a massive football in tournament that could see the nation qualify to The Knockouts for the first time in history which is absolutely [Music] insane but the piper guy from the braveart movies has turned up and to be honest I’m starting to think that he’s at it I think this guy must have a recording because nobody can keep blowing air as much as that that is absolutely [Music] [Laughter] [Music] incredible young there he is guys there he is for all to see he has not stopped for one second [Music] if anyone has a dart in the room you know your task [Music] now he’s about to start again look at this look at this no he’s not he’s not surely not surely that drink is the end of it don’t you put that near your mouth don’t

midnight tonight we’ll get back to the [Music] pool oh it’s quality absolute quality can beat a bit of bag pipes man [Music] G’s been G’s been sitting there for about 45 minutes but guys I’m going to assume that in the next few moments he’s going to stop because the teams are on the pitch and the actual national anthems will be played on the [Music] TV for [Music] [Music] [Applause] I’m going to hope oh no he’s going to start again he must be going to try and go he’s going to try and go in time with a Flower of Scotland on the T well maybe maybe he’s linked up to the stadium maybe he’s playing maybe he’s playing the tune Kino we need a bit of rocking and rolling in here mate this is um this is next level stuff he’s actually going to play the national anthem along with the TV version guys um now probably most of us including myself would be thinking that you simply just need to turn the volume button up on the TV and then way you go your man here is linked up via satellite to the stadium and I think it’s stood Gap so here we [Music] go here we go guys the national anom of [Music] Scotland so he’s about ahead of the game in here as on te [Music] [Applause] TV I don’t think the

anywhere well guys we are going to get to the pool um I’m going to try and keep you as entertained as I can out with the pool whilst watching as much of the Scotland game as you know me baby rock in and roll in [Music] I think um what I’m going to do in future I’m going to I think I’m going to set up a Tik Tok is that what it’s called tick Tok tick Tok clock set up a camera in here because some of the Antics that go on in this booth that you guys don’t get to see the amount of Maniacs that chap the door WS in grab a set of earphones and just sit down and I’m I’m I’m like excuse me what you doing I’m thinking someone sent them in and they say oh no me I’m I’m going to commentate I’m like did someone send you in they no no no you you’re doing it so I just thought I could do it and this does not happen once twice three times this happens all day every single day now it’s okay to an extent maybe maybe someone in the pool world that’s that’s done a we b or and it’s great I mean I actually ask quite a lot of people the fans are coming in a lot of them say no that’s fine but you have no idea of some of the carage that goes on in here some random people just came in someone came in this was a couple of weeks ago one of the tournaments actually came in Fair Play is one of the local guys that play in the pool leagues and stuff they actually came in with the food shut the door over and I’m like what you doing basically saying to me well the last time I was out there everybody ate my chips so they came in and locked our in this booth stinking of food next to me to hide from the chip feet thiefs so um I’m going to set a camera up in here so you guys can actually see what goes on um Sumit is absolutely mental sum is just good fun but that right there guys was an absolute classic and do you know the Mad thing is he literally just stuck his bag pipes under his arm and just walked right back out the door he walked in never said a word to anyone Andy finegan from behind the bar gave him an odd he started playing and he just walked back out the door so Reay who who needs five goals my friend you can f his in on that I don’t think I mean even though we took a hiding in the first match I don’t think there’s anything major in the goals because it’s already been put up today that if Scotland get a draw um if four other teams were to lose against bigger Nations a draw would mean that they were the lowest the lowest points tally to go through in a tournament of two so there’s a possibility to go through with two points in that football so I don’t know what the five goals is all about because points are the first thing that matter but maybe you’re talking about something else and I’ve jumped a gun my friend I would love some information on who and what needs five goals but none more so than in the pool world now as GI Ed get and Matt fonsworth go head-to-head and it’s a first to 10 frames this is the Scott Scottish Grand PRI this is the IPA this is the gold ping sports bar brought to you live I am Stevie walk up no to many people as Walker the talker and to many more as the Ali mcco from wish apparently I seem to sound like him at times I don’t ever hear it myself and there’s quite a lot of people that know me well that say they don’t either but seems to be a lot of others that seem to hear a about of Co in there I’ve been called wor in my time camera isn’t quite Central okay Danny just maybe move your couch a we bit a brilliant start from Young Gio he ran into a l a l i was saying L and Tiny at the same time there a tiny bit of trouble um a Lany brilliant so he’s run into a bit of trouble he pulled himself out a couple of cracking pots and GI Edgar does go one in front of M fwortho Mark fonsworth everyone that is on was tuning in to Mark’s previous match against Cody there was many in offs on the break and he’s going to want to limit that kind of opportunity because Gio is on absolute fire just now a b break he’s kept the Q ball on the table and he’s got a ball all right Ray um to be honest M I haven’t even looked to see where they could finish in the group I think the only thing in my head was possibly qualifying so yeah that makes sense mate um I don’t actually know how many Scottish people have been actually thinking about finishing second in the group um but I think you’re SP on I don’t think that’s even even Up For Debate I think it’ll just be a case of trying to get the win here unless I suppose if the Germans were to take five off Switzerland that could change things right enough but Scotland still need to do the job here and young Gio and Mark both need to do the job on the table serious work to be done here obviously trying to get that yellow into play that hasn’t worked out and matk fonsworth he’s not going to want to give Gio any sniff when it’s on his I know that’s a a tennis terminology but when it’s your break there is no doubt that you do not want to give your opponent a sniff look can to see what he’s thinking here can he put the ball in the bottom corner and kick that bad yellow out right now or can he swing off one cushion maybe even two bottom bottom right hand side here and it’s off two cushions I oh look at this look at this I don’t think he’s got a shot if he’s on that one to the top right hand corner which I don’t think he is but if he is he has got a bit of a chance because that yellow down the bottom still goes and it probably become his last ball or is he just going to play he’s got he must be on it he must be on it he is but you know what guys that shot in my head I didn’t know if he was on it or not so I thought maybe he can play to screw off the black and just leave the white in behind the yellow but he could Port it and the fact that he could Port it I’m actually surprised he screwed in there I think he could have maybe just ran through off the top cushion and then parted the yellow in the left middle but he didn’t and he’s giving himself a bit of a sore head here just trying to give a decent white and that’s what he’s done so nothing easy for G but not the visit to the table Mark fransworth was hoping for J using his extension here which is expected he’s not going to have much time left and he’s not get many options yeah it’s not went to plan for J he’s tried to ghost the ball in but unfortunately he’s given Mark a chance here just want to kiss the Ed yeah that’s okay I think he might I think he might be using another one of these Reds here is it the one on the cushion he’s going to Cannon maybe just play oh he can find the Gap that’s a fantastic shot fantastic shot I’ll touch a rever side just flicking the red on the way out beautiful control from Mark he’s left himself a terrible position in this block is going to have to take in the middle and he does do it’s a good black in the end he made it hard for himself Matt fransworth does get all square here against J Edgar as I look to the opposition opposition well the opposing table as CHR Phillips missed a red into the middle and he’s giving Chris Boron a chance to get back level in that match so break and frame number three he’s got one queed it beautifully so pure and true and he gets a ball and a chance I think he might have to open with a plant here but if he can that’s a massive chance for Gio to go two frames to one in front he just has to get it right give her all the attention in the world that’s okay that could have came out a lot worse so that’s okay from goo [Music] extension used here because it’s not perfect [Applause] he’s okay he looks a bit straight he might be coming back to a similar area unless he can put a bit of side on this and get through the Gap yeah he just came back to that area it’s a clever thing to do I don’t want to be too greedy on the situation just give yourself a chance for this red just bring the QQ ball about an inch to the left just basically just stabed this in and I tell you what he put that in a lot thinner you seen his face there he was lucky to P that and that’s the the reason why the qall came so far to the left as the heart of the pocket a q Ball’s only moving about an inch but it’s gone in a little bit side on the ball as well always helps when it catches the jaws of the pocket but Gio Edgar has moved two frames to one in front and it’s Shan so far that his break is working well he’ll want to keep that going throughout this match and hopefully for Gio’s sake the rest of the tournament because Gio has two breaks and two dishes so MK I don’t know if the sound went there guys I think it did I couldn’t hear it in my ear some issues there with the microphone I think that’s it sorted it was just a wire in isue it just seemed to when the wire went a certain way it just seemed to cut what a break this is from Mark fantastic break so he’s got his break working as well yellow in the big bag I think the reds are the balls here I think the reds are the balls extension called from Mark and it makes perfect sense in this situation so it looks like a plant into the right middle this gives him less work to do play that positive keeping the red in a good position where it can go in numerous pockets I think he’s got to come down the table now I think the red closes to the top pocket he’s going to take it now which is okay he’s just going to work his way down the table there’s nothing crazy down here there’s nothing too tough um I didn’t mind that red at the top being his last ball the ball he’s just potted maybe poting that in the top right corner then that’s coming around the back of the black um but it’s six and a half a dozen he can just come down and take these and then all he has to do is go up and P the black so it’s nothing too crazy I think it’s just the Split Second decision making you have to make under that 30 second shot clock as I’ve said numerous times and I actually mentioned to a few guys in the venue tonight if there’s anyone out there any software designers there is a way for you guys to maybe make yourself a couple of pounds give me a message and I’ll tell you what it is we looking for and if you can do it I’m pretty sure we will be quids in because it’s my idea I just need you to make it one thing for sure I’m an ideas’s person only problem I’ve got is I never seem to do anything with them so Mr software if you’re out there contact me Steven Walker I’m on Facebook oh anybody that might know me will be able to get in touch with me one way or another I have an idea you might have the skills if you do let’s make a couple of dollars together so four frames down three dishes if that’s how this match is started is heading to be an absolute classic young Geo that ever impressive youngster following in the footsteps of some young Scottish stars have came through through the years you’ve got guys like Scott gesp who has been a phenomenon for many a year the other guys that have played some fantastic pool like Ross fery Liam duner young David Rooney Ryan Davy all these youngsters that have come through probably the highest profile one is Jason Shaw a youngster that I know very well played a lot of pool with him from the Glasgow area still play a lot of pool with his father he’s an absolute Titan in Q Sport pill he is playing in the American game he is a Class Act and Young G is following in the footsteps of all those guys he is heading towards being the next big star to come out of Scottish [Applause] Bill there still some of us old heads hoping that we can find the time over the next couple of years to put the type of work in that can maybe do us a turn on the table that looked like a that looked like a dodgy shot to me I don’t know about anyone watching but that did not look good but the referee called it as a fair shot I have to admit Gio looked like he asked Mar the question that did look a bit dodgy but we move on it looked like a push to me it looked like a push to me in fact it didn’t even look close it looked like a push to me um however I mean the two balls moved simultaneously with each other so and the fact is we have great V on hand we literally could have stopped for a split second and said listen can we check that Craig the Maestro on the computer there is no doub in in my mind he could have checked that and we would have been able to see firsthand it didn’t look good but it was called as a legal shot and we move on soo’s a chance here looks like he’s going to have a dash on these yellows it’s nothing easy at all a good opening P so there’s no doubt Gio thought that was a push he reacted to it he asked the question it looked like Matt looked to the referee for confirmation the referee called it legit um I do think it was questioned but Gio has a chance to take it right out of the Thinking by taking a finish here he was hoping to come a bit further over he was want to be on the ball in the right hand cushion but he was dead straight so he was using about b a side a about of Q Power wh bridging over to try and create an angle unfortunately he didn’t get it but he’s still okay he’s still okay he can get his he can get his que through he can still play the same shot and held the we beautifully it’s just about getting high enough on the BL for Gio here so he’s running the time close here 4 3 2 and he CES it just in time now we do have a screen guys right next to the table which is absolutely perfect just have a little glance at it takes you no more than a split second it gives you an idea of your time management I was lucky enough to play Mr Dan Davy on Friday night on the table and I found it really good it wasn’t like you were constantly worried about your time um so is a good thing I think it’s a great thing for p the the shot clock I think there’s some versions of the the time limits that are a bit crazy each to their own but for me 30 second shot clock I’ve actually argued that certain tournaments should have it no matter what um and I know it’s hard to en but even if it was a minute rule which is actually written into black ball rules um it would be really good to have some kind of something that just speeds the game up there’s too many players that take far too long on shots and as much as we all sit and say well you just have to ignore it and just kind of don’t let it get to you it is hard it’s so hard when you’re trying to get into some kind of Rhythm and your opponent takes so long on shots but it’s in the rules doesn’t get enforced enough for me so hopefully there is something that can be done in future that maybe I mean some of these tournaments could be done so much quicker if people were made to play a bit faster I mean it’s just it’s an no-brainer to me instead of instead of spending I mean this tournament is going to run to dark o’ CL tonight it really is whereas for me all you have to do is enforce a bit of time management in this tournament everybody but he’s probably already on their way home so it’s definitely something to look at it’s something that I hope over the the coming years is a massive fix because that is one of the biggest issues at tournaments in time management if it’s done better could make tournaments so much better so I also think players should be warned yeah Kev 30 seconds I actually um I played in Lis pool party Mark Bo’s brainchild which is great raising money for charity all that kind of thing but I didn’t know Mark had three tables on the shot clock and so I’m playing all night I ended up getting beat in the final and I only found out I found out the next day that there was a shot clock on all the tables so I didn’t even realize that I played every shot well under the 30 second Mark now there was so many players on that night that I found out just one of the things that get timed out and Ed out and Ed out and Ed out they didn’t realize they were on a short clock either but they were getting told by the referees that were there listen you’re taking far too long and the 32 R was in play so but most players that play on a short clock do take roughly 30 seconds whatever it is but there’s no doubting that a lot of players in these tournaments some of them take minutes five six minutes on specific shots and that just that that just should not be allowed um it would maybe be good if I mean you don’t want to be running up to the tournament director every 5 minutes and saying listen he’s taking AES on shots but maybe if it’s stated at the beginning of a tournaments if you feel your opponent is taking too long on a shot please alert the referees or whatever and we’ll keep an eye on it and then maybe enforce a shot clock I don’t know but that is one of the things that it does boil my blood a little bit as the amount of time some people take on shots and if thing is you see them staring at a shot and then they go around the table they then stare at the same shot they were already at then they get around the table then they stare at the same shot minutes has passed and then they going to play the original shot they looked at in the first place I just something has to be done to Speed the game up in that aspect the 30 second shot clock is great but obviously it’s generally always only on the the game table so that’s a tough one for me big chance for Mark here he wants to play a very similar shot here on this yellow he’s come back out through the Gap he’d love to find himself not a million miles away from where the Q ball is just now it’s going to be slightly higher because of the angle he’s got but if it can maybe be just similar line a similar line and he’s going to be okay and that flecks not the worst so he’s on a very similar angle that he had where the Q ball was a moment ago and that’s black and it’s all square so three frames a piece here and everything going so far with the break [Applause] o to break and is it going to be dry it is and a chance for M fonsworth and it’s going to be on the yellows one awkward yellow if he can get high on it it won’t be very awkward for long taking all the time he needs here Mark quick update on the other match Christian FS is three frames to two in front against Chris boron [Music] quick update Switzerland on one up against Germany so still that yellow at the top end of the table that’s the [Applause] problem and he’s not a problem now a fantastic shot Chris Boron his back level and Mark fonsworth with a massive chance here just be dropping this in I think yeah does he yell at the the bottom drop I don’t think it does I think he has to go for the middle one here yeah that would be fantastic I would have no quams at all have Chris won this he struggled at the start of the weekend 10 an extent but he’s found his form and the result today against Clint was a massive one he played some fantastic pool a few guys I know that watched it said the standard was incredible brilliant shot M fwortho he has play straight here so he might push through looks like he will he’ll push through and take oh he’s going to stun back yeah he’s just taking his medicine he looked at it he didn’t fancy it it was just a cut back into the top right corner he looked like he fancied running through and taking it into the top left but the decision was made and this is just middle of the way and where’s a c ball going where has a q ball going he was worried there he was worried Mark fonsworth goes into a 4-3 lead here against Gio when it came from a dry break from 43 mark and it is going to be Mark to break I actually thought I might have had a sidekick this weekend I had a sneaky feeling I was going to walk into the building and Mr Alan Reynolds was on the hover and I thought there’s a good chance I’ll have Renay in in beside me we seem to get a lot of plaudits for the camaraderie over the the geedar Robert Steven game even though we were accused of numerous things throughout that evening which I thought was a bit mad however I’ve got a feeling he might have been away with Junior at some snooker tournament and I seen young Jr with a trophy so if you won Junior reens congratulations if you didn’t I apologize for my misreading of the situation and guys I was asked today there’s another event happening in M P Sports Bar pretty soon um John mcin is on the Rampage to try and fill up spaces for Lis pool party another event to qualify for the tournament that brings with it a 20,000 one Winner Takes all prize you can check that out Jo Mark create some daylight between himself and Gio here and he’s got a good chance that’s for sure moving the black was a bit of Genius from Mark has made things a lot easier in this finish just a little nudge to the outside allowing him bear position on his last couple of balls just bring the C ball back to a similar area to where it is right now M fans going to go five frames to three in front of Gio Edgar and a mass of frame needed from the youngster yeah I’ve got no um no issues issues with that statement Clinton is definitely one of the best on the IPA and whether you believe it is the best um you won’t be far away with that obviously there’ll be people that think it’s Mark people maybe think it’s Mark Bo Mark fransworth clinten um the World Champ Gareth habber uh Liam dunster who’s obviously been there done it wore a lot of t-shirts Ross FY there’s a lot of talent so there’s no doub in if you believe Clint is the man then there’s not many people that can argue because he has full of ability full of class Gio needs a big one here balls are flying in everywhere absolutely everywhere and what break that is if I could break like that guys I’d be stilling this tournament I would still be on this tournament um let’s see if I can have a we check on my actual Q score for you I think the breakdown is on that I know it’s there’s decent money decent money in this event that’s for sure it might have a breakdown on the Q score normally does if I can’t find it if Craig is listening he might be able to post it on the chat function I know there’s a good few grand well there’s an idea um one of the guys that left in the qu finals got 500 quid so quarterfinals was 500 times four guys that left I think the beaten semi-finalists might be on a thousand and I think it might be five and two maybe to the the winner and the runner up I can’t actually see it it is usually posted on the Q score but I can’t see it [Applause] um but I think it’s it’s going to be similar to that if Craig’s listening I’m sure he’ll post it I think it might be five and two 5 and 2 and a half something like that um I’m going to guess 5 and two with 1,2 beating semi-finals 500 to the beating quarterfinals so yeah there’s gav 5K to the win up gav was at the Masters or the Grand Pre one was at the Masters in December there you go guys it’s not bad for a weekend’s work if you can get to the tail end of these tournaments [Applause] so five frames to four and Gio cleans up after a phenomenal break that I only wish I possessed and it’s something that I’m definitely going to have to work on in future that’s the hard part you have practicing h um I’ve been turning up to tournaments the last while and honestly not had a single minute probably in the last five six months on a practice table even to go and have a match with Robert who I would normally play um just not getting any time to go and put in any practice hours I’m just turning up to tournaments and hoping it’s going to go well and I’m going to guess I’m not alone in that there’s going to be plenty of guys in the same boat but and work life and kids and family and everything else that come into it it’s not easy need to try and become one of these guys with with a table in the house that would be excellent a big chance here for Mark he’s going to want to keep the daylight between himself and Gio I know Gio can go on one of their runs and they can quite simply R off 1 two 3 four frames without question and without reply so Mark’s going to want to keep breaking well and if he does we know he’ll take his chances and young Gio will continue to do it and he’ll hope that eventually he can close the gap and maybe take over right now Mark is looking in a commanding position right now [Applause] time was getting away from him is he okay here I think this is tight I don’t think he’s perfect here I do not know if he can get on this is there a slight Gap if he just drops it maybe there is maybe there is so daylight again yeah good good finish from Mark that looked a lot tighter on the angle that I had on TV Mark fransworth has he put a little bit of side on it I’m looking at it again on the I don’t know I don’t know maybe he can just Port it but it looked as if he was playing low right hand side on that um I don’t know I don’t know but clear as day Mark gets himself some daylight again six frames to four another B break need what a break that is again from Young Gio does the red yes it must well he’s looking at it it must be must be tight yeah so he decided to play the kick from the C got into the left mle a fantastic shot just shows a bravery and the way Gio plays the game he just stoed that in from quite an awkward position and he’s going to take these now the standard is incredible there’s no doubt Mark is arguably the favorite and I just I think the level he’s been at for the number of years the kind of guys he’s played on a regular basis probably has him favorite but Gio won’t be thinking about the odds here he’ll just be thinking about playing the balls on the table and right now he’s well in this match six frames to five is what we’re staring right now yeah he’s overrun it a bit but he’s okay [Music] the standard in this match guys is absolutely incredible so two to one is what you’re after potentially he needs four frames to win this match and then has to win a final there’s no doubt in he’s a slight favorite I don’t know if anyone would give you two to one I’m not a Gambling Man but if you get it it’s probably not a Bad Bet there usually a guy watching his name is Scott Grady he likes to throw some bets about I don’t know if he’s on there just now I don’t know if he’s interested in creating any bets however it might well be so guy P it would probably be handy if you told us your real name and then there’ll maybe be some odds out there for you I’m going to suggest you didn’t go to Depot and change your name to guy so Mr guy who are you my friend and we can maybe get someone out there to take a bet from you so here we go Mark a break and he’s going to want to get that two frame Advantage again and one down and look at this break guys look at this look at this I definitely need to start working on this break shot this is unbelievable [Music] that is a distinct possibility then it could end n n I’m pretty sure clarkey will have them in and he’ll be ripping into them right now because they haven’t created enough with having plenty of the ball yeah Joe 100% I mentioned that in the last match where MK played Cory there was a number of an offs in the match and the breaks are so important in this day and age in all levels of P but at the very top the very top of the game the break is just so important and the chances that come with the break are usually the difference so that’s my name and that’s my tea okay chief you enjoy your tea you dunk a big J digestive for me my friend all the best at your new club he’s going to have to he’s going to have to drop this red in and use the yellow here he’s going to have to the only thing Mark’s thinking of here is he doesn’t want to go too far because getting on the last ball can become more Awkward if he does and that’s what he was worried about it’s a reason why I think screw into it wasn’t the right option I think just running off it as I mentioned going too far he’d have been going cushion and then yellow on the side so that was a worry there playing it the way Mark did I think he maybe maybe he could have played a bit harder and made sure he knocked the black all the way up but he had to know that that was in play I thought he would have just slid off it to take it away so he’s deliberately left himself this angle guys he’s going to try and get the black into play here now this is a massive shot in the grand scheme of things because GI will he will definitely eat these yellows up so and he’s missed it he hasn’t even ped it and young Gio Edgar has a chance from 64 down to get all square with the break you know I think if Mark po that I think if he gets it clean the angle would have been so much better and he might have been on that black at the same time he missed it thick which changed the tra trajectory that’s not a great word for a Scotsman to say and but it just changed the angle so much that when he went into the yellow it slid back out thin you he would have caught it thicker but what a chance for Gio here what a chance he didn’t want it to drop but he won’t mind there’s no doubt he did not want that to drop he did not want to be bridging over this black but if he was offered a chance to come to the table in this situation he would have B your hand off so he’s got to take the opportunity he lines up he’s good at these shots you know he’s good at these and not this time and Mark has a second bite at the Cherry and it’s literally the Cherry it is the red now he would love to stun off the side cushion and out and it’s not an easy shot with the middle bag in play and the middle knuckle in play and with the time getting away from him he had to take his medicine now no guys if you’re listening here do you cut this in do you play the baly rubble let’s see what Mark’s going to do he’s doubled it he’s got it fantastic stuff for Mark fernworth and G goes to behind again that yellow dropping in the middle was not what the doctor ordered held held Gio with a problem he did manage to at least cue the ball briding over is definitely one of his strengths I was quite impressed with a shot he played earlier in the match I don’t I can’t mind if it was G he was playing but one of the shots he played King over the ball was absolutely unbelievable and it’s definitely something he has good at but that one was tough here we go Gio it’s big break time he has to put some kind of pressure on Mark here yeah Danny there is no doubt that was massive the minute that yellow dropped life became very difficult for goo I think red balls are going to be the order here he’s going to have to play the red into the right middle and screw into the pack right away I don’t see anything that stands out more than that to me but Gio might see it different he’s taking the outside red first and he almost missed it he’s just made sure yeah I mean I suppose he didn’t have to move it in the previous frame but he is very fortunate that it’s it’s went down and into the pocket he’s just trying to make it a bit easier for himself and I use the word greedy quite a lot I’ve been saying that over the last while maybe don’t be too greedy on specific shots um I can usually catch you out when you do that and Gio could caught with one of them in the last frame but it was unfortunate it’s hard to to see anything other than a little bit of Misfortune but he’s at the table here and he’s got a chance to get back within one and this red must pass into the left middle has came a lot further than what J would have wanted [Music] there but he’s still at the table and he still has a chance that’s sometimes all you can hope for brilliant shot and another chance here for Gio then he’s worked his way back into this he just has to stay composed you don’t want to be you don’t want to be too greedy I used that phrase two seconds ago and it’s something I’ve said this weekend you can get ahead of yourself you can push the boat out a bit too far when Simplicity can be your best friend and I think that’s the case here I think all Gio has to do is just keep it very simple when he’s in these situations so just wants the right angle on the last ball he’s not got it so she’s going to have to go to cushions I think he landed a touch straight on the last one you can see he had an angle but yeah he’s maybe just not CED it I just seen it again there back and he’s maybe just not CED it away with have liked so that’s a big shot here is it two cushions oh he decided to go I don’t know if he was trying to kick it or if he was trying to come down the back side of it but I think two cushions was a way to go there just back across just check it back and back across and leave the the white on the opposite cushion play the black into the bottom left corner he’s going to have to pull off a big one here what’s he got in the locker here we go Gio Edgar that’s highlight real guys it is highlight real stuff and Gio Edgar gets within one and gets a little pat on the leg from Mark fransworth shows his appreciation for a brilliant recovery shot from Gio very well done young man he had to pull it out there he was in all kinds of trouble all kinds of trouble but he managed to get it over the line and a fantastic shot that was from G judged it well because that wasn’t easy it became the obvious shot because it was the only shot he had but to execute it to Perfection very well done from Young Gio Edgar I hope you guys at home are love in every moment of this cuz this is fantastic stuff both of these guys going at it from the very beginning Matt fransworth has just had a little bit too much so far but he is not getting any breathing space from Gio Edgar who has playing phenomenal stuff does it sound like I’m getting a bit excited in here come on this is some match how young is G I think he’s 19 18 19 something like that I don’t know if anyone that’s close to g w know exactly but I think he’s only a pup I think he’s 18 19 um I would be surprised if he’s been above teenage years a massive breakoff and I tell you what Mar’s not got a shot here this is what Gio was hoping for so is he 20 if he is 20 it must have been not too long ago um I thought he was still in the teenage years 19 yeah that sounds about right sounds about like to me Mark W use his extension here because he’s in all kinds of trouble I’m just trying to leave it awkward I think he’s left you the cut into the left middle here very worst case he’s left him the cut the sorry the the yell went to the top um the top left corner he’s giving him a shot a shot he didn’t want to but all they could do was try and leave a decent Q Ball g going to put the Q ball back where it started he’s inviting Mark to the table good shot gets a tap on the table what does he do does this red go oh it does that’s a mistake from goo I think well I think Gio was trying to take the Q ball back to roughly where Matt left it in the first place which was a bit more safe um there’s no doubt Gio would have known that red goes but unfortunately he didn’t get a q ball back as far as he would have liked and that has led to give Mark a chance here [Music] anyone out there looking for a bet we’ve got a bold gav Robinson looking for a victim he’s offering 6 to4 on goo b a chance but this is massive he’s tried to play that controlled for the specific reason he didn’t want the balls traveling too far and he’s giving himself a chance here I think the middle bag might be in play here so he needs to be careful here that’s a fantastic shot that’s absolutely superb oh might be tight guys it might be tight did you see that face did you see that face this might be tight hold on to your chairs guys hold on to your seat this is about to take off here Mark is having a little look here this might not be buying on he might have to take this in off the yel ah he’s at it he’s at it not fans worth playing up to the camera don’t you start peeling those faces you mark Farms he’s all though he give some hope there they gave some hope I have to admit he made me think that he wasn’t on that now gav Robinson I know you’ve played a bit with Mark over the years is this his is this his thing and you think he’s maybe not on something he pulls that face and all of a sudden he just goes down and puts it clean Mar FW worth eight Geo ers guys this has been some match this has been some match if this was a final there would be no complaints because the standard has been absolutely phenomenal phenomenal [Applause] Gio this is absolutely huge young man can we get one of those big breaks and the eight balls down and we’re going to do it again so updating the other game guys Christian Phillips five Chris Boron four now with the extra referee in the building I actually thought that match might have been on a shot clock as well and it’s been happening over the weekend where the oh he is a machine that much is for sure I just H that face he pulled made me think he was snookered but he just goes down and strokes it in like it was nothing but um yeah that match is running quite a bit behind this one at least a few frames but I tell you what guys the highlight real moment oh Chris Boron was snookered on the black he’s went up and down the table to cut it in and it hit the Jaws it was unlucky that match May well end up on the shot clock pretty soon I think they have a referee for that match um at least on hand but they are about what five frames behind right now so that game will be wanting to be speeded up a bit [Applause] [Applause] here [Applause] he’s tried to move it a couple of times he’s got it this time unfortunately for Gio I don’t think he’s on anything here I don’t think he’s got many options here guys I’m actually I don’t know what I would do here I really don’t it doesn’t look to me as if he’s got anything on he could maybe take the red off the red into the top left corner just shaving it he’s looking at a possible double he’s looking at a plant now you have to see he’s very unfortunate the way they’ve came out and very fortunate to get the P there but unfortunately for Gio it’s looking like Mark is going to get on the hill here [Applause] big chance using all his time there mark oh that little that little move just at the end there but the yellow down the bottom does he be super aggressive and go for it now or does he play this does he play this in the one closest to the right hand cushion does he drop that in leave an angle for the yellow into the middle to then come round the back of the yellow down here I don’t think he’s get the angle now he can maybe screw back off one cushion and across he’s not going to so what’s Mark thinking here let play this in one into the middle come around the back of the yellow play the yellow into the bottom right corner play it into the right middle does he play the two and one [Music] no shot Absolut brilliant shot he’s got awkward Que in here he would have probably preferred that to drop in if it drops in he’s got a better shot on what a shot that is guys when gav said a few posts ago he’s just a machine he’s looking like it right now what can G do to stop the rot if Mark puts this one away I tell you what has been some display by both players so far and it’s nine frames to six to Mark fransworth and young GI edya who has given everything and played absolutely phenomenal in this match is no disgrace to lose to a guy like this but let’s be serious guys it’s not over yet it is not over yet [Applause] so Mark to break and he has a chance to get over the line at this at this time this break here we go can I get over the line here at this time at this attempt at the first time of asking he’s not going at this time of asking because J’s at the table has he got an opener the long [Applause] yellow yeah it’s not easy to start here if he does go yellows which is the obvious opener there’s a yellow at the top end to the table so it’s going to be Reds it’s a tough beginner he’s got it a fancy goo from here stay in this match a touch longer big chance y Jill has to take it coming down the inside there it’s not a bad option he was coming inside for that red which didn’t really have a pocket out with the top left and the bottom left he’s taking it right now as he needs [Music] [Applause] [Music] to Big opportunity here for G and he’s worked it well it hasn’t been easy this will be a fantastic finish guys this will be a fantastic finish if Gio can clear these up it has had work all over the table so many positions that had to be absolutely spot on probably finished you absolute first class absolutely class there was all sorts of work to be done in that finish balls only went in certain places now the Reds were better than yellows at the beginning of the frame of course they were but everything wasn’t easy there was loads and loads of stuff that had to be done and GI did it absolutely brilliantly [Applause] [Music] Shan boy how old you my man look a slight Comfort break from both players as M fans is on the hill here hoping to get over the line young Gio pegging him back doing his best to just stay in the match yeah Sean I was playing well um but just uh just ended up not going my way last night few few things that um I don’t know I was tough cuz I actually played quite well last night um but just didn’t seem to be my night few things that went against me so but that’s the nature of the game one day you can be absolutely flying and you know what I’m actually probably doing myself a disservice I didn’t play terrible yesterday my my opponent’s obviously played quite well into the bargain but um yeah just that consistency is just so hard so hard to so hard to play at the level that a lot of these guys play it day after day after day it’s it’s a tough gig as you know that yourself mate I just seen on my screen on the football guys something serious looks like it’s happened to one of the players hopefully it’s nothing too bad and a swift recovery [Applause] what can J do here on the pool front he’s let Mark back to the table spe you know what’s mad Sean somebody actually says to me I I don’t know who I was talking to him there they were surprised that you were there saying he he’s not been playing he’s he’s not played a lot of pill over the last while surprised he’s here and I said well he’s obviously playing now cuz he’s here but it’s it’s a hard game I’ve I’ve played in a few tournaments over the last while and as much as I’ve done all right and felt like I’ve been queing not too bad I’ve just been nowhere near sharp enough to do any damage and you have known that yourself then yesterday cuz it’s when the guys you’re playing against are sharp as attack every single visit to the table it’s such a tough game I think The Two Reds go I think he needs to take the one closest to the the cushion first I don’t think there’s any doubt and I think Mar fransworth is heading to the final here just needs to C nothing crazy and Matt fransworth will be in the IPA Scottish SC pre final he has to keep it simple here and Mark fernworth is in the final keration young Gio who played fantastic this entire weekend you only have to look at his seven frames W there against markk five of them dishes and Mark himself throwing in a few I think it was five and five from both of these guys in fact M mate have got a six there but that was unbelievable guys that was some standard app pool absolutely incredible congratulations Mark and unlucky young Gio this kid is going to be something else he already is something else but what will he do in the future there is so much [Applause] potential how far can it go how many things can he win that’s a question so as you can see Christian Phillips nine frames to four against Chris Boron on your screen guys I’m going to have a twom minute Comfort break myself I’ve been waiting till that last match was over and then they’ve turned this one on but I will be back as soon as minut te for the [Applause] to [Music] the e [Applause] St your want

SC good evening again guys tragedy for Scotland again the Glorious failures but let’s not talk nonsense Scotland aren’t good enough the manager picks a team that just isn’t the right kind of team to win football matches it’s the kind of team that’s to go and try and stop another team playing and that is pointless not enough players on the pitch that can pick the locks in a team the only two guys that you could argue that can do that are playing defensive Midfield and that’s Kum McGregor and Billy Gilmore both of these guys if you want to unlock defenses you need players with a about a craft are only players that can do that kind of stuff are playing defensively so Steve Clark for me has steadied the ship but he’s not the man to take Scotland forward there’s good players like Ryan gold that should be in that Squad TI player that can unlock defenses but it’s all over and we’re here now for the final of the IPA Scottish Grand Prix and Matt fransworth going to break off against Christian Phillips and let’s hope for another cracker here [Music] tough opening shot most likely to be the red is he going yellows he has going yellows he landed in between everything he’s absolutely perfect now he’s opened these up well a couple of Cl shots it’s great to have so many people still tuned in at this late ever I’m looking forward to getting home to my bed tough day at what tomorrow for Mark fernworth whoes into the leader yeah M listen talking about the football for a second it’s there’s actual players in the country now I coach A A Youth Academy um our kids learn the right way and I say the right way I mean the technical way the way to get the ball down and play the way to be comfortable and intelligent in possession now I watched a cup final two school teams so two young teams and there was two kids on the pitch and these two kids were unbelievable they were primary five students there was two primary seven students also on the pitch two big Lumps who could run fast they could push the kids out the way and kind of go from one end of the pitch to the other and score a goal but there was two kids in the middle of the pitch that if we were in Italy Spain France Brazil any country that plays any style of football that requires technical ability these two kids would have been on the lips of every Scout but two Scouts I was speaking to at that match only wanted the big fast strong players now that’s a massive problem it’s been a massive problem in England as well the technical players in England obviously play at a higher level with a lot better players so they’re learning every week they’re now learning um with a lot of foreign coaches that are changing the style but the UK the British type style that’s implemented this fast strong aggressive it’s not the way the world now it’s not what gets success it’s not what creates chances and for me the kind of support that we have um yeah we probably deserve a bit better but you only get better if you do things right off the pitch and we haven’t done that so that’s the way it goes R the sledgehammer thanks very much my friend I’m glad you’re watching it glad you’re watching and enjoying it Matt fransworth is off to a flyer here he’s had a fantastic tournament there’s been a lot of people’s tip a lot of people’s tip for the event he’s been absolutely Sublime from start to finish Steven Hodge turned the volume down if you’re not happy my friend someone mentioned something I gave him a swift answer that’s what the chat function is all about well if you don’t like it my friend there’s a mute button on your remote control if you do and I appreciate everything and anything that you have to offer and until someone pays me a massive wage I will talk about whatever I feel now right now I’m talking about the guy at the table who has been absolutely unbelievable this weekend from start to finish probably none more so than the match previous to this when he played G Edgar it was unbelievable J pushed him all the way I think there was 11 dishes in that match that could be checked out I’m sure but it was some standard in fact there was 10 dishes I’ve got it in front of me Mark fransworth with five G with five 107 standard was absolutely insane but marks off to flyer here in this match against Christian Phillips who’s been incredible all weekend and the evidence is the fact that he’s sitting in the chair in the final here oh did you just wants to control this little touch a left hand side but shot and it’s going to be two quick fire frames from Matt fransworth yeah he’s been he’s been Sensational there was a few people asking for different tips over the weekend who everyone fany obviously The Usual Suspects come up um Mark being one of them gett AB Mr Bo duner Clint was one of the tips for myself because I watched him in the early rounds and he was absolutely incredible but Mark fransworth is just I don’t think his levels have dropped all weekend he looks tired there it’s been a long weekend he was tuned into the last part of the football there that’s why we were slightly late starting the two guys at the table wanted to see out the end of the football match I apologize for mentioning football again as the two guys in this final did indeed tune into it but Matt fransworth is off to a flyer here Christian Phillips can you hit back quick here lad can you hit back quick and I’m going to thank each and every viewer again for tuning in um if it wasn’t for you guys that would be absolutely pointless me staying out to all ours it would be absolutely pointless me stepping into the booth down at the IPA events in centry Newcastle and whatnot having people tuning in people on the chat function whether happy sad or off your head it actually makes it for me as some of you may realize I’ve done most of this alone this weekend I had a bit of help for about an hour today um when I started the day this I mean I started here this morning about halfast 12 so and it’s good to know at the back of 10 at night I’ve got someone having a dig at me as my passionate blood was going into overdrive after watching my team there but I’m glad to I’m glad to have Steven the hoder Big Mad Mental hodi giving me some abuse from a far I’m pretty sure he’s a good guy so I don’t want anybody going and painting his windows black let’s just leave our Steven alone if he’s got a name like Steven he can’t be all bad fany Mr fwortho here is he going to take it off the the red drift in off the red hold the CU oh that’s perfect absolutely perfect elk Master Pro tip the best tip well I I actually personally use a Legends tip I put a post on quite a while back saying that my favorite tip um from a long time ago was if you were lucky enough to get a good elk Master because they’re tough to get however I was invited to try the Legends tips I was sent a few through in the post and the Legends medium is as good a tip as I have ever used and I’ve tried them all I’ve tried talisman’s kimis um adrs all brilliant tips for the right people but they weren’t for me and I ended up with the Legends and if you like an elk Master tip if it’s been one of eight tips but as everyone will tell you they’re hard to get you cannot beat a Legends the Legends tips are so well made they keep their shape they they have a good feel to them so they’re worth a try as Mark fransworth goes three and0 in front here and I have to admit guys he has been on fire and it is going to take a Monumental push from Christian Phillips to get close to Mark here I mean what do you do when your opponent is in the form that Mark is in right now how do you stop him we know that these balls need to be smashed open we know that you have to be aggressive but how do you stop do you smash them open and try and contain or do you try and get some kind of Rhythm yourself because it looks to me like Mark is going to break and dish or take at least take out a finish every chance he gets it’s incredible no don’t worry Stephen I’m only the joking mate it was um the game I was basically still caught up in the moment as the the game simply just finished and then the guys took to the table I got myself in here and there’s a screen on in the booth with the game obviously still running and and showing everything about it but um no don’t be D I’m only joking it’s been a long day I’ll say that by the time I’m finished it’s going to be one h of a 12-hour shift and they do nickname me Walker the talker that is a hell of a lot of talking that I’ve had to do in here on my own all day and if it wasn’t for the chat function and people like yourself commenting and whether it’s as I say whether it’s giving me abuse or having some fun or just anything at all any kind of banter back and forward it does keep me going so I appreciate it no matter what Mark I mean this is incredible this looks to me like he’s is going to take these out again this could be four dishes in a row guys I think the tactics may have to change from Christian you might have to put a pair of football boots on and give Mark a twoo tackle because it looks to me like nothing else is going to stop him he is absolutely [Music] flying has he come far enough here it looks a tiny bit short he might just be okay okay I think the Red’s far enough over the pocket and he’s down quick that tells you everything I think it has to be the one closest to the cushion first yeah it is you see Mark just making sure so there black and Mark Richard Clark thank you very much my friend I appreciate that Jamie Smith very much appreciated as Mark fransworth goes four frames to one four frames to no sorry in front and that’s four dishes guys it’s four dishes and just having a little glance over at the replay there the shot he played um I mean the Reds were there from the start but the shot he played just to take his medicine he didn’t want to get too greedy on the black he could have been forgiven for trying to get over to the other side but he just simple pot on his last red and taking a slightly tougher I mean I’m saying tough to guys like Mark these these aren’t the toughest reports but to the normal guy trying to make his way in the game they’re not the easiest aports but Mark is making everything look so easy here I think Christian Phillips welston Scotland might need to free phone dby Brown because he needs to put a claim in here this has been one hell of an accident he’s in here has been run right over the top of [Music] T he’s not only looking a bit gay up top my man he’s looking like he stole every kid in the neighborhood’s pack lunch he’s a wellfed man these days Mr John Reed yeah I think Sparky’s on absolute fire here and obviously everyone watching is seeing exactly the same but you’re probably right there the eight ball going in the top Corner as a kept Mark at the table he was a bit of bother there I don’t think any the El went in here we go again it’s 4 nil four dishes he’s got one here guys this is going to be five now and five dishes Steven muray thank you very much my friend um really does mean a lot and you’re absolutely spot on Young G is he’s a top talent he obviously puts in a lot of time he’s on the table as much as he possibly can be he’s playing as many things as possible and he’s also in good hands these days he’s joined the stable of Steven Santa Allison um Santa has always been a very good manager type guy with the the PO players um whether it be money matches or getting them into the right tournaments against the right type of player and young Gio is definitely definitely one to keep your eye on because the accolades that will come with the amount of titles that he’ll win they’re going to be absolutely littered about his house and it’s up to everyone else as well there’s a lot of guys still trying to make their way in the game who are obviously a bit older than goo are still trying to get to a certain level it’s tough when you have kids when you’re working and all that kind of thing there’s a lot of guys with severe ability just struggling for consistency there’s a lot of talent out there but there’s a lot of a lot of scary youngsters coming through Adam Myers cof being one of them he won the first amateur event Gio won the second one but that’s a target for most of the guys are trying to chase the pro ranks these days and you look at guys like Mark Bo Liam duner Gavin Robinson who won the UK Masters here last um last year these guys are all doing great on the IPA toour this is the IP and none more so than Matt fransworth himself world champion G Abit I mean these the guys that are at the top of the table the guys that are up there doing the damage tournament after tournament if you want to get to that level you really have to put in the effort and it’s not easy to find the time I think most guys at play pool that are on watching just now and on the chat function as well it’s probably the hardest thing to find because finding spare time at this day and age is not easy at all and I think someone said there MK fsor doesn’t even practice if this is him not practicing well I tell you right now if this guy does practice I wouldn’t want to be on the receiving end of any any match against him because this is heading for five dishes out of five frames that’s unbelievable absolutely unbelievable Christian Phillips Must Be Wondering what the hell he can do to turn this around he’s done nothing wrong let’s let’s not let’s not put anything on Christian he has done absolutely nothing wrong but he is like every one of us right now as far as this match goes he’s been a spectator he’s sitting in his seat enjoying the pool well maybe not as much as we are but that is absolutely incredible five frames to now five dashes incredible absolutely phenomenal he’s got one this time the Q ball staying on the table and it’s time for Christian Phillips to get his name with a number beside it and it has to be that first frame so let’s see what he can do here Christian seems like the type of character I don’t know him personally but I’ve watched a few a few of his matches at different points in those matches and he looks like he looks like one of those players that he won’t be happy with second best there’s a lot of people that will go to certain events and maybe be happy to get to a certain point Christian looks like he’s one of the guys that wants to win he won’t be happy taking the hiding that he’s taking right now so I think as this match goes on he’s going to want to get a frame or two on the board and maybe try and put a bit of pressure on Mark and don’t get me wrong he’ll be more than happy with the weekend he’s had of course he will but when he looks back at it he’ll be more he’ll be more full of positivity than anything negative that’s for sure but I mean let’s face it what what I mean what can you do different when your opponent just won’t miss as Tigers just said there maybe slow things down a change of break but with the rule in place that you need to get so many balls past a certain point and it’s not like he can tap break he has to open them up so it’s a tough one well he’s taking these out very positively has been confident it’s been in good fashion and this match is going to be 5-1 with six dishes in the match it’s absolutely phenomenal I was led to believe it’s three I thought it was three um the three point rule basically in the sense of I thought it was three pass the ball line or three pass the middle and two pass something like that but someone else commented and said the IPA user rout is just three past the middle but um there’s nowhere to go and read that up but I don’t think anybody pleases the rule um as such based on where the balls land however the the one thing is that you you do have to smash the balls open so there really isn’t any T break in the possibilities he’s got one has he got a start up he has and guys this is going to be another Dash this is absolutely incredible white Lyford I’m going to assume you can run fast my friend and you might have to I C the Scottish Lads come after [Music] you so guys it’s five frames to one to fans worthy up the match just had six dishes in it breaking dish or reverse dish and it’s looking like it’s going to oh he might that red might have just fell back you know and if it did he’s not on that it’s going to make it a bit more difficult but he should still get it but we are heading towards seven dishes out of seven frames if Mark can take these Andrew MC George Henderson good to have you guys on and I will want to say both of you guys did phenomenal great wins but Andrew fantastic run played some great stuff and George couple of fantastic results yourself um well done guys massive congratulations and obviously more to come in the future now will Mark make any type of mistake here that stops the flow of breaking dashies and rever dashies gets his extension and Justin team there doesn’t want to be caught out so this is huge is he going to can in the black here it’s a risky shot he might put the ball but it could go wrong and he doesn’t he plays it in such a way that is simply unbelievable cues it in with authority he comes off the side rail or the cushion I should say that’s Mr Alan Reynolds when he sits next to you with all that American terminology and only because of the black ball he’s going up the table first here now it’s not easy to get on the BL what what would you be playing here guys are you swinging around the back of the Reds up towards the red next to the the right middle pocket maybe playing the black into the same back yeah you called it well you called it well Mr Walker what I’m going to say Timmy rle ripy Ry whatever however you say that my friend um the IPA has individual spots for events the tour um entire tour is obviously closed off now because the tour started quite a while ago so you can still enter individual events but they are limited spots and next year it’s going to be very limited things are changing from what I’ve heard there’s going to be 120 amateurs and 64 professionals only and the ladies tours are going to be capped as well at specific numbers I’m not sure how it’s going to be exactly but I have heard some stuff that if you want involved you’re going to have to get in ear L and there’s going to be some disappointments I think the guys that have supported the IPA tour may get a first refusal and it’s going to be tough yeah Richard everything and there was a lot of stuff that had to be sorted out before the new guys came on board and I think the ball is rolling in a fantastic way about that um and I can only speak for this event in particular that every single player that left this building tonight has been paid so it’s definitely a step in the right direction and I think everything is moving at a fantastic pace and I think by 2025 you’re going to see a very different IPA it may look very similar from the outside but there’s a lot of changes on the the agenda and I tell you guys it is definitely something to look forward to well that’ll do is it perfect no what that will do now the tough thing is getting back on that yell down the bottom and I think he can maybe screw maybe a half stun screw shot through the gap between the red and yellow if he plays it right he should have a chance to maybe put the yellow in the bottom left corner oh he’s going to put oh my oh my word that was risky he’s got he’s got away with it and Christian Phillips he’s on his way this is a tough shot it’s not easy he could essentially pop both balls in one goal here yeah he’s played that absolutely phenomenally and Christian Phillips throws in another dish he throws in another breaking dish and this match is now six frames to two and every single frame has been a dish and Northeast streaming who do Scotland play in the lower bracket I don’t know what that means and the lower bracket if you can help me out with that my friend and I can maybe answer the question yeah James hodkin is that hodg kiss there is no I mean I can’t even believe that it wasn’t checked I don’t want to talk about football again in case I get heckled by the crowd but Stuart Armstrong’s filled in the box and it it’s a stone wall penalty and it didn’t even get checked so that’s a surprise but these are what happens in football if you don’t perform things don’t go your way yeah Richard he he got away with that there the black ball probably I mean he shouldn’t have been anywhere near it but unfortunately I mean fortunately for him he went close to it but he didn’t put it in and now can Christian return the favor here can Christian Phillips pull out some kind of finish that will keep the the crazy dish statistics up here and that’s as good a start as any yeah I understand the the concept of being in control of the ball but does that mean you can run over and punch one in the face in the middle of the pitch and it’s it doesn’t count as anything because he’s not in control of the ball it’s a silly it’s a silly rule but it is what it is in this match if Christian Phillips can take a finish here it’ll be nine frames in nine dishes in this match nine run outs from either break or from your opponent’s break the standard is absolutely incredible yeah NE actually wondered that myself but we didn’t even get to check the replay to see if he was on off whatever it was but um I was surprised I must admit that it wasn’t at least a check but one thing I keep checking on here is the standard of this match and it is absolutely insane absolutely insane yeah Jacko 100% agree 100% agree well guys it’s nine frames and nine dishes I mean I can’t believe we’ve not got 100,000 viewers this is insane text your friends call I mean let’s pretend on Who Wants To Be A Millionaire right now can I phone a friend because someone somewhere needs to know about this match this is unbelievable pill it’s absolutely absur nine frames nine dashes nine runouts nine clearances whatever terminology you want to use this is absolutely frightening statistics in any standard of pool smashes them he gets one he has a problem and it’s a big one he’s not got an opening shot if he had a chance to play the three ball PL now it’s po K straight away here this is unbelievable it’s not an Open Table he’s going to take yellows I mean I’ve I’ve been commentating now quite a while on so many matches why is he taking Reds he must not noed on an Open Table he must not Noti still an Open Table he must not know it was an open table because he would have been taking yellows every day I’m very surprised at that answers in a postcard guys you’re taking yellows there and it was still open on right I I think we’re going to see the first missed we’re going to see the first Miss shot because of a mistake by Christian he’s obviously not known it was still open because the yellows are all in great position yeah we’re going to see the first mess ball unless he can manage to get this doubled but Christian’s made a big error there because he’s po kick at the beginning of the frame knocking two balls in it meant that the table was still open and Christian could have played any caret he wanted it’s high it’s not even going to reach and we’ve seen our first Miss and that is not the mistake there the mistake is in the color set that he chose and that is a massive mistake as the AC ACDC man ACDC that ACDC can’t I be about ACDC man I am absolutely that that taken away what would have been 10 dishes in a row because Christian would have taken the yellows he would have taken them out there’s no doubt in my mind he simply didn’t know and he might not even realize until after the match I don’t know if he’s sitting in his seat wondering just now I don’t think he is because I don’t think he’s realized at the time and it probably won’t da on done on him until after this match unfortunately by then it could be too late but what I will say guys is Mark fernworth still hasn’t missed a single ball and the Seven frames that he is going to have won he hasn’t missed a single ball he’s got six dishes and a clearance that is just absolutely phenomenal and if he does go on to win this there is no doubting that he has been the best man over the course of this weekend and right now he is unplayable thanks very much Lee much appreci appreci mate yeah I’m I’m I’m still a bit shocked at that there there’s no way that he he knew he must have just thought when he potted the red it must not have even come in his mind that the table was open cuz you’re not taking the Reds there was so much work to be done on him two plants he had to play um that’s a shock yeah Le with have been good to see G in the final um he’s had a few finals lately he’s been doing absolutely brilliantly and he’s won a few as well so he’s chapping on the door against the big boys now and that’s great to see yeah as always a big shout out to Craig for the what he does on the live stream goes out his way to try and give the best possible viewing for everyone at home any time I’m available I’ll try my best to talk as much nonsense as possible as well as talking as much about the pool as possible but if it’s not for everyone at home and the uh the interaction on the chat function none of it is possible so massive thanks to all of you guys watching as well and this is the IPA Scottish Grand Prix brought to you from the goix p and sports bar it’s been a fantastic weekend some amazing p on show the standard we’re witnessing right now has to be up there with the best that has been seen all weekend in fact probably in quite a while [Music] so it’s not not a bad table for Christian here I mean if you were walk to the table right now and have a choice you’re taking Reds but the form that Mark is in right now it would not surprise me one bit if he pulls something out the heart here he’s not going to have much time left here so it’s decision time there is no reward without risk can he put the yellow into the bottom left corner and travel up the table maybe open one bag at a [Music] time I’m wondering what Mark what what he has in mind here because there’s not much is he going to play the smash plant here plant into the left corner into the left middle sorry and the other yellow flying up to the top right hand corner but I mean he’s running out of time he’s not get much on offer let’s see what he’s thinking he okay so I don’t think he’s got the angle here I hear that quite a lot John is quite I I mean he’s not a bad he’s not a bad character on the TV to be fair so yeah super alley goes ballistic so Christian is going to get within three and I tell you what this is something that’s that’s got to be in Christian’s mind here if he can get within three frames of fanworks in you’re doing well and you’re still in the match I mean it’s got to be one of the most ruthless displays I’ve seen in quite a while Mark not really had a chance in this Frame to be fair but in any frame where he’s had half a sniff he has absolutely he’s been Flawless absolutely flawless now Christian Phillips can’t do any more than he’s doing here he’s trying to hang on to the coattails of Mart fernworth and so far he’s managing to do it to an extent but it is seven frames to four seven frames to four three frames in it a lot of pull still be played in this match matk fransworth is absolutely flying but Christian Phillips is not going away couple of people on the chat thinking that Christian still has a chance but it definitely has game on now you can see the dates guys for the tour in front of you that’s up to 11 so this match will be played 211 only the first to get there as the winner so the British opening commentry is next 26 28th of July Newcastle 13th to the 15th of September and the 6th to the 10th of November is in the a of man all fantastic venues I have no idea if uh some kind of ocean tanker just came into the building there either that someone has some kind of fog horn on them yeah those odds might have just been changed ever so slightly as Christian goes in off can Mark make it another dish in this match [Music] now I don’t know I’m looking at the screen and it’s got Matt fans worth seven dishes now he’s definitely not got seven dishes he’s got seven finishes six of them are dishes and one was a clearance a total clearance after Christian made a mistake but on the Q squore it is showing that Mark has seven runouts in this match but it is not the [Music] case and they try to open them up so that he was on the red to the bottom right corner it’s not come out the way he wanted I don’t know if he’s found a gap here maybe the bottom red goes they still need Reds here the yellow aren’t in the best shape because of the two down the bottom left and as usual Craig on hand to fix the qcore runout not none the L guys this match has had nine runouts and 11 frames I mean have a think about that for one second it is absolutely unreal and that’s the first open po I think he’s missed from a position where he had a chance Two Shots from The Break um after Christian went in off on the break so my first mistake real mistake I’ve seen Mark make in this match and it’s taken 11 frames in fact we’re in frame number 12 but it’s taken over 11 frames now for that to happen so frightening standard nine runouts and 11 frames between these two incredible stuff well Christian’s missed that that was tough the last frame that Matt fransworth won there was only one ball left on the table for Christian now if Mark reversed that it must have meant that six of the other balls I think it was Reds one red that was left on the table it would have meant that six Reds were down off of The Break um but it was up till that point he had six dishes and then he cleared up from a Miss from Christian um it’s definitely six runouts he’s had in this match I remember seeing it at the [Music] time so you don’t get a dish just for a clearance that’s only from the break that it counts as a run out a clearance a dish whatever it is um a breaking clearance breaking dish breaking run out whatever way you want to but an all ball clearance in the middle of the frame is just simply that a clearance yeah he’s opened it up a bit he’s opened up a bit tiger as you see the way the balls were sitting he could have played it slightly different yeah cever from Mark one ball that was going to cause him some minor issues he’s taking that out the way attention to detail that’s what it’s all about guys attention to detail whether you’re watching at home or at the table I wonder what kind of position Mark is in here can he screw back towards the high yellow or does he have to come around the back of the black yeah he can screw towards the high yellow I think he was hoping to hit it and Ideal World if he hits it he’s perfect and more than anything else he was hoping to maybe just slow down the Q ball will be traveling here but I’ve got a feeling it’s going to Cannon the two yellows on the left side so he should be able to play this at PACE and rightly so Mark fransworth is eight frames to four in front here and there is not a whole lot Christian’s been able to do about it pardon the pun Jamie Craig you need to be careful Big Pun might be watching this he’ll be on the hunt for you tomorrow the race is to 11 let’s see you can actually see it there on the screen race to 11 and the Scottish IPA Grand Prix final brought to you and M P Sports Bar I am Stevie Walker Walker the talker AKA Ali mcco from wish don’t get me wrong if you order Al MCO from wishing get me you’re getting the better version and it has been a long day an enjoyable one some fantastic pull on show and I’ve managed to keep talking as much much as I can all day I’ve spent probably 90% of the day in here on my own which I actually don’t mind as long as everyone on the chat function keeps it quite busy gives us something to talk about if you’re just repeating pot to the top left pot to the Middle Screw back to here play it with a bit as side it can get a bit repetitive obviously if you got someone in with you you can bounce off of but absolutely have no issues on my own as long as you guys are keeping as busy and so far it’s been absolutely phenomenal so thank you very much I’ll see it again now can Mark throw in a tailor made break to give himself an opportunity at another dish in this match where’s the CUO going to stop and what as the balls it’s got to be red for me it’s got to be Reds for me the red that’s obviously covered by the yellow is only covered into that pocket it goes in the left middle it goes in the right bottom corner and he can actually play a shot right now of the red in the bottom right corner to open up if he sees fit and he would be very unlucky not to be on anything the yellows are decent I’m just not sure that yellow goes anywhere apart from the bottom right corner I don’t like this I don’t like the yellows here roone r yeah he’s perfect here I think he’s absolutely bang on you know I actually preferred him to take the bottom left and then that in the right middle take that in the right middle then the red in the left middle I think it was an easier positional shot I think it was a far easier positional shot I know that I understand the reason why he’s gone the way he’s gone although that’s why Mark’s in the final and I’m sitting here I’m thinking of a pot kick straight away Mark is simply just mapped them out nothing had to be kicked that had a pocket I’ve heard guys like m say why kick something out that goes so there you go Mt fans wereth just proven that point and this is another dish guys it’s absolutely unbelievable what we’re witnessing here CH Paul much appreciated a special mention David Rooney on the chat gave up a bit of his time in the commentary Bo the other day as well just back from his travels in Germany found himself in the boot doing a bit of chatting while I was on the table thank you very much my friend for this is massive from Christian if he wants to stay in this match he needs to pull something out the heart Sledgehammer of a break yellow balls red balls both look fantastic and the yellows are going down here and it’s going to be another dish in this match this is unbelievable it’s absolutely incredible guys this standard is absolutely frightening absolutely frightening nine frames to five I mean where do you start here you’ve got 14 frames and we’ve had 12 run outs it’s absolutely insane absolutely insane the standard here I mean a lot of guys including me entered this tournament at the weekend I played some fantastic stuff I played um some good pull I was on the TV table on Friday night against against Dan Davy I played quite well won the match in good style and had quite a number of I think I had five um run outs myself in the match I’m sure maybe three three breaking dishes in two reverse something like that um I can’t mind exactly but these guys are doing this over an entire weekend and then when it gets to the final after a long weekend on the table long weekend on the table and at this time on the Sunday night they are still banging in Breaking dish reverse dish non-stop Mark’s unlucky there that ball was in the middle pocket it’s rolled the middle bag and came out what 12 12 run outs out of 14 frames is absolutely incredible Sarah the pouts are 5,000 and 2 and half th000 winner and runner up 1100 to the beaten semi-finalists 500 to the beaten quarterfinalists and I think it was 200 to the last 16 um so that was the payouts as far as I’m aware quite unfortunate there for [Music] John for John that’s me reading that that’s me SC gr right of at John Reed unfortunate for Mark there that ball was in the middle it was in the left middle it’s rolled the bag unfortunately that happens in these tables every now and again and Christian with a chance to reverse DH and take the match to 96 swiped his feet there he’s put his hand up there cuz he knows he’s missed it but it’s the pace that he’s played it at gravity has taken over and suked the ball home this is incredible stuff guys this is going to be another dish oh no commentator’s Cur I don’t even know I don’t know why he’s played like that he didn’t have to do anything he didn’t have to do anything at all there just put the ball this is going to be over as a contest pretty soon guys yeah that’s it was one of the ones you hear people referring to as he’s chicken winged it his elbow was a million miles out tossed his arm at it didn’t C it properly at all and a t gr I’m absolutely spot on with your description of Christian shot there standard’s been incredible to this point unfortunately the writing might be on the wall now because Mark is not a million miles away from getting to frame number 10 and that will put him on the hill as he heads towards the 11th frame and possibly victory so four Reds and the black from m fans worth and Christian Phillips can just sit in hope now that the possibility of a mistake may come in here but it doesn’t look likely there hasn’t been any major on so far [Music] can he just screw inside the yellow can he maybe screw onto the yell it doesn’t look like he’s got the perfect angle but we’ll see here [Music] he’s going to run the cushion here Mark fernworth is on the hill here guys as he’s not going to miss this and he is indeed 10 frames to five in front Christian Phillips with a massive mistake I can’t afford any mistakes at all unfortunately for him it’s looking like he’s heading for the runner-up spot in this tournament at the beginning of the event he would have taken that there is no doubt however for me once you get to that final stage you want to do more you want to be more effective Mark fransworth 10 frames eight run outs Christian I’m five frames on the board four run outs but the chances I mean they haven’t been exactly great chances but that one in the last frame you have to say Christian has to take that you have to take a chance like that against a guy like Mark and unfortunately he didn’t take it and Mark is now one frame away from glory in the IPA Scottish Grand Prix brought to you as I say many times over one of the best sports bars you’re going to find anywhere in the UK and the right in now guys is on the wall as Matt fransworth will line up to take a b after he takes out I mean either set Reds or yellows both of them look fantastic I would say Reds probably slightly favoring it just because of the two yellows at the top but I mean he’s got numerous options here numerous options I mean if he puts his red and clears the bag then it’s probably yellow for me much appreciated again for the kind words that has been a great event that’s been put on some top top players have been doing their stuff all weekend but this man has been the best of the bunch by a long way and he stopped The Runaway Train young Gio Edgar and he’s now dismantled Christian Phillips in some Style and I must say it has been one impressive frame after another from Mark and I still keep looking at the the runouts eight out of 10 four out of five for Christian this is about to be 9 out of 11 that are one type of dish or another a breaking run out a first run out it’s absolutely incredible [Music] stuff that’s perfect he’s chose to go up the table first there and I thought he might have just dropped through and taken the one closest to the black first and just a stun up the table similar to where he’s ended up just now but he’s absolutely perfect so mark fwortho my friend this has been as ruthless a display on a pool table in any match never mind a final as I’ve seen in quite a while and Mart fransworth is just about to become your IPA Scottish Grand Prix Champion congratulations Mark fransworth you are the man over this weekend you have been late years ahead of everybody else the ruthlessness the ability the steadiness all rolled into one congratulations to you and commiserations to Christian Phillips he has been fantastic as well and everyone that joined us over the weekend playing in this great event all you guys at home watching can’t do it without you so massive appreciation from all of us matk fransworth what a man what a player and nine run outs guys nine out of 11 frames at a w the standard was absolutely insane and it’s been an absolute pleasure so I’m going to love these and leave these guys I’m pretty sure there’ll be some kind of presentation in a minute and I will get back to you guys probably very very soon so cheers for watching guys cheers for tuning in and thank you very much to every single one of you I am Walker the talker good night guys [Music] he he he
