Snooker

Not quite the same: Millar doped to win; Higgins gave the impression that he would be prepared to throw a match in an obscure tournament for a bit of money.
Regardless of whether he intended to go through with it or not, his actions weren't going to deprive others of victory.

Not that I particularly care for him, but for a while he was the best snooker player in the world, so probably deserves a little bit more respect.

Now, if anyone wants to have a moan about that twerp Trump, then I'd be well up for that.

Shaun Murphy too.

One could argue, however, that the intention, level, why or who of cheating is irrelevant - it's still cheating at the end of the day.

Frankly, I wanted to know a little more about the Higgins scenario. I'll draw a line under that.

Judd Trump's got a silly name.

On a seperate note, the second session of Ding/Selby is interesting. Selby's new tip seems to be working well and most of the mistakes seem to coming, so far, from Ding.

Fantastic game going on right now Selby/Ding. Must be watching the tournament winner here.

Wonderful session of snooker.

Agree that the winner is one of these two. Having said that, if Higgins strolls through and these guys fight to the death he may be in a strong place for the final. Worst case scenario, a total collapse from Barry, could give Higgins a session to spare.

Pretty tasty. I just switched-on. Selby 11- Ding's 10. Come on Ding. Selby's pretty special though... Nawty!

I think Ding's trippin'-out. I'd be going bonkers. How do they do it? Honestly...

The black went in off Selby's break. Shit. Ain't never seen that before.

Wowza!

Edit. Did you know Steve Davis is a deep underground techno DJ?

Selby/Ding was one of the great Crucible matches. Selby absolutely ruthless, his ability to turn a half chance, or an opponents mistake into a frame win is incredible. Feel sure he's going to dominate Higgins today, but you never know..

O'Sullivan wins again. Brilliant snooker in that last session.

Genius

O'Sullivan and Carter - anyone know what was said during their little moment just now?

Academic now. Tournament over for me. Can't really get enthused by the other players.

Really? If Higgins goes out (ha) then it is wide open. Makes it more exciting for me.

But, the chubby cheating doughboy is now the favourite to take the trophy. Particularly seeing as he will probably beat young Jack Liskowski with a session to spare.

Hmmm. Anyone but Higgins. Maybe Williams then.

Williams had it all sown up, gifted Jiggins the 33rd frame.
This shit is going to the line

So fucking tense. Other half had to stop watching as she felt it would stop her sleeping later.

This has been quality. Both playing without fear.

I reckon Williams will win

He has

In fact, I guarantee it.

Another fucking sitter!

Edit: just realised I had paused it earlier and was 5 minutes behind

Nice work from the laid back Welshman
