He gets lucky that bloke. Can't stand him. Wilson would be right back in this if it wasn't for his cue.

Not going to be much snooker played tomorrow

 

[Buckers]

Not going to get much work done today. Ronnie v Brecel could be an absolute barnstormer. Really rooting for John Higgins as well, I’m turning a blind eye to the fact is is blatantly on PEDs.

Watching John Parrott trying not to look at Seema Jaswal’s tits is both excruciating and one of the most entertaining things I have ever seen. Occasionally he slips up and looks down, then he fights to hide his own horror at his weakness. Good lad John, you have my sympathy it must be incredibly difficult.

lol

Somebody hose down John Higgins, he's on fire!

 

[Buckers]

Disappointing comeback from Selby.

Did somebody call for Fireman Selby?

This is a proper snooker match between two of the best players of all time. I wouldn't really like to call it. Neither is quite the player he was, but class is permanent, so two masters putting on a show. If anything, this match is following something of the pattern of their epic 2017 final, with Higgins off to a flier, Selby struggling, but then somehow dragging himself Everton-like from the grave back into contention. I know who will be the happier player tonight...

I still see Ronnie winning it, though, even though either of these is more than capable of upsetting him.

I would be checking Higgins' bets...

Ronnie has it in him to beat himself. If he can avoid a blow up that's one thing, if he starts thumping rocks and gets a head of steam up then he could take an unprecedented 8th world title. That yellow from Brecel earlier was something but the snooker by O'Sullivan later was better again. Been most impressed with 20 year old Si on debut.

@summerisle
The intro's earlier today, the announcer was waffling on about Selby being back to his best with a smile on his face and it got a laugh from the crowd 'cos he was not smiling. I wonder is the video 'out there' of this moment and his expression?

 

[Rita_Poon]

Brecel lightning strikes twice on the yellow. Ridiculous.

Couldn't find anything - found Hendry being a little grumpy though.

Just after, funny though it is, Hendry was always cold like the terminator, no chit chat, strictly business.
