I've just got home and saw Williams won, wasn't expecting that the way Yan was going, the curse of being mentioned MW strikes again it seems.

Yep, and after me praising Lisowski, he just lost by the one frame to Higgins. Shame I really thought he'd make the semis, top player. Reminds me of Jimmy White.

Money is on O'Sullivan but anything can happen.

Great to see the 'class of '92' all in the semis but I'd have preferred a coupla newbies to make it interesting.

I'd have enjoyed Lisowski v Ronnie considering the play style. I can see Williams edging the final but it's either Riggins or Ronnie to win. There's usually one underdog but Trump can hardly be called one considering all 4 have won it before.

Outrageous snooker from Williams.

[Carnage]

Aye, if anyone's earned a place in the final it's him.

Used to enjoy watching snooker as a young lad, it's the first match I've watched in a long time. Engrossing stuff. Mark Williams looks like he's just come back from a week long bender with Kurt Cocaine and Agstfyl, yet it's tantamount to genius how he plays the game.

[Carnage]

Yep, it's one of the best matches I've seen, more tension than most finals. Full credit to Trump too, he's playing a blinder.

[Carnage]

Hard to argue with that result, he deserved it.

[CorkonianHunger]

Both semis were great stuff, ultimately Ronnie deserved it, but good to see Trump on his tracks all day. Can see Trump winning it again easily but not before O'Sullivan retires with 8 WCs

Anyone tuned into the Crucible?

Ya watching it alright. Well when gobshytes aren't protesting that is.

[Carnage]

Yep. Been a fairly lacklustre tournament so far IMO, but it's early days yet.

[Thorn]

Yeah, even booked my hols to coincide with it. Great 147 from Wilson this morning, sooner or later he's going to win the thing ,it's just a question of how many bets it costs me before he repays, hopefully this is the year.

Goddamn that wee blonde ref is smokin' .

Elsewhere, why the fuck is Murphy commentating on matches when you'd think he'd be concentrating on his own tournament. He certainly has his hands full with this young buck.
