Would be great to see both Fergal and Joe in it, give me a reason to watch the WC. Promised never to watch it again after last years rubbish, and a lot of well dodgy matches. Def not a clean sport!:mad:

Ken down 8-1 after an abysmal display. Joe Swail trailing 5-4.

Fergal O'Brien is out of the world championships for the fifth consecutive year at the final qualification stage. Despite a 6-3 overnight lead, Fergal lost 6 consecutive frames this evening, only to bounce back to 9-9, before losing the decider. That's the third time in 5 years losing by the odd frame in 19.

Earlier Ken Doherty went out 10-3 and Joe Swail went out 10-5.

Mark Allen is in the main draw which is on tomorrow.
