He's playing, according to the Daily Fail - I know.If O'Sullivan was going to quit, now would be the time with Carter in the first round and on a collision course with Selby in the last eight.
He'll turn up. All part of the show.

Maybe this'll be time for the Chinese players to make a mark, there's enough of them who have qualified.Quarter-finals prediction - because I'm stupid enough to dare:
Kyren Wilson v. Mark Allen
Ronnie O'Sullivan v. Mark Selby
John Higgins v. Barry Hawkins
Ding Junhui v. Judd Trump
All gone by the second round, so...
Of course he is.He's playing, according to the Daily Fail - I know.![]()
This is a fair point. I've only got Ding in my last eight, but every chance more than one gets there and every chance Ding won't be part of that delegation.Maybe this'll be time for the Chinese players to make a mark, there's enough of them who have qualified.
Ally Mcoist is a well known and respected snooker player …. They even named a venue after him….. The Ally PallyGames are too long IMO & I love the game - the earlier rounds frames per game should be shortened -Selby & Higgins are killing the game also .....
Plus the BBC are spending a fortune on pundits & Ally MaCoyst a pundit on TNT - what the hell does he know about the game ?
He played football for a living ? football when I last looked - what tournaments in snooker as he won ?Ally Mcoist is a well known and respected snooker player …. They even named a venue after him….. The Ally Pally
I like the longer matches, the ebb and flow, sorts the men from the boys. Youngsters nowadays have such a short attention span !Games are too long IMO & I love the game - the earlier rounds frames per game should be shortened -Selby & Higgins are killing the game also .....
