seemed like such am unnecessary risk trying to swerve on to the yellow. Jones threw that away.

game on still. Just

Yeah, that was weird. Playing it off a cushion and not immediately conceding a foul looked like a better option. Leaving a pot on wasn't a concern.

In the circumstances trying to double that black doesn't seem a great choice either, and not just with the hindsight of it missing.

good start to the session by Jones. Hope he can make it tight as wont get to eatch until evening session

Definitely a match on now.

Jones really isn't my cup of tea, but this is a remarkable comeback - would be a disaster of a final if Kyren just walked it

McManus' anecdote on Maguire is quite the party starter for the rest of the final.

Missed it. Can you summarise?

Apparently, LSS, Maguire ate his dog's drool. Had the rest of the panel in awkward stitches.

Sitter after sitter

This final has been fucking shite

jak jones is dung

really enjoying Jones. Too many poor shots to win this. But i like that he plays some interesting choices

Hope he can grab a couple more frames before the inevitable, and tbf deserved, Wilson win

before the inevitable

Even if it goes that way nice to see Jones start to fight back.

I like this Jones geezer. He obvs has some good pals in the audience

Jones isn't likely to win but it looks like he's having more fun than Wilson.

Not sure if either want to win

hope the ref knows the heimlich

piece of human shit, Michael White, kicked out of world rankings by WPBSA for being a convicted scumbag.

Glad I've never reffed him. I would feel dirty.

I love a good obituary. Clive Everton's in The Times (⛳?😬) yesterday was a cracker

Also, this was odd:

Not odd at all.

Hossein fucked up.

Ref was 100 percent correct.

Jimmy was a bit incredulous as he has no idea of what is going on.

Everyone true to form.

A delicious foul to call on a player. Particularly if you have overhead video to back you up.

Ha, the look on their face.

See also - asking a player to nominate their colour and then calling a foul seven when they play the shot without having done so.

Mmm mmm. You love to see it.

Yeah from the overhead it was pretty clear. Probably doesn't help that most people (as in, viewers) would first look to treat it like the rules in football where over the line means the whole ball over the line. But from the overhead, it was pretty clear the centre of the ball was outside the D
