This was ridiculous.

[Baddar]

Some of the shots he plays one handed are just crazy too.

Ronnie gets pissy and loses. Brilliant stuff.

I do like how it says "GET ACTIVE" after a clip of snooker.

Next time my GP asks if I play sports I'm going to tell him I play darts at least 6 hours a week.

What did he do?

After he took a shot, he shoulder-barged Ali Carter as he went to sit back down. He was heard to say, "I thought I'd give you one back." There was then a bit of sarcastic back-and-forth between the two, and the referee had to tell them to stop.

It was a clear dive. We need VAR in snooker.

Well, to be fair, they've been using video assistance to help the referee put the balls in the right place after a miss has been called for years. They just need to extend it to the off-table action.

It was shoulder to shoulder. The games gone.

Higgins beat Trump 13-12 last night. He'll play Wilson in the semi's, with Williams v Hawkins being the other.

I hope Williams can win it now, but Hawkins is playing well.

[Matt]

I want Wilson to win but I can see Higgins beating him and whoever he faces in the final comfortably

[Bobfoc]

I'll be happy enough with any of the four remaining players winning. Hawkins would be nice as he's been around and working hard for years without winning a major tournament, much like Bingham when he won in 2015.

[Baddar]

Holy shit, that shot from Mark Williams just then!

[Bobfoc]

So it's Higgins and Williams in the final. And I thought rehashing the late 90s/early 2000s was solely a WWE thing.

[Baddar]

Should get Michaela Tabb in as a guest ref.

Mark Williams is dominating John Higgins at the moment, six frames in a row to lead 13-7

[Baddar]

14-7 now. 4 more frames this afternoon, and it could be finished without needing the last session.

[Bobfoc]

I'd be very surprised if he won the next four to bring him to the winning line with a session spare, but Williams is very much in charge. I'd say Higgins needs at least three of the final four frames of the session, and that's being generous to him.

[Baddar]

Its 14-10 now. Big frame coming up to end the session. If Williams wins it, you'd think that'll be enough of a cushion going into tonight. 14-11 would make things really interesting though.

Edit: It's going to be 15-10 going into the final session.

[Baddar]

Higgins has taken all 3 frames so far this evening, 15-13 now.

Edit: 15-14 at the interval. Game very much on now.
