Oh cant even stream qualifiers on bet365 now?! If they have taken the main draw off too - I am in trouble because refuse to splash money on TNT

 Self restraint didnt last and accidentally paid for the 12 month Scheme and they wont let me change uh oh!!

 

However, surprisingly good performances so far (ye of little faith etc)

Charles B is a set up as well. They are showing up my pessimism big time.

That third MP for Broom was not a good one. I dont support gamesmanship but I hope he takes a toilet break as the French crowd are INTO it atm

 Charlie, I'm sorry but there's no getting away from it - you blew it no

And, Jack PJ, that was a real shame - but the proof will be in the pudding (the third set being the pudding smile)

Poor Jack

He didn't blow it in the way that Charlie did - it was a terribly close match - and pretty high level

But he got a little flustered every time he got close to winning - it's like a red mist, not of anger, but of lack of lucidty

Mind you, the Ukrainian wasn't much better but he seemed at least to feed off it whereas it dragged Jack down

But is was a very good effort from Jack

Just with Charlie and him, they were SO SO close

So two through? But seven to still come. Hopefully there will be another win or more.

Serious question - noticed our only 2025 qualies winner was Evo (over Billy).

The question is - with 2 wins so far in QR 1, when would be the last time we achieved two wins at the FO qualies? Or more for that matter?

 Billy got two wins in 2024. The thread is way back in this section so takes some finding.

 Cool; I actually meant two QR1 wins ie two separate players, but that is also something I was wondering! 

 OK - 2023, Ryan, Liam and Jan

 Ha - thanks - in which case it isnt very rare or unique or interesting ! Haha 

 But our final total into QR2 could very well be these - ie. rare, unique, interesting, as oppposed to just being these 2 who have so far qualified out of 5 .We have 7 still to come!
