General Snooker Thread

He did lose to a player ranked 128th last year, so I'm not sure his comments are entirely accurate.

Another thing he said was that he hates the atmosphere without the fans, but he also doesn't like having to enter the arena amidst fans under normal circumstances. He said that it's so bad that he'd rather play in Crawley, a place he's been vocal about how much he despises.

[Baddar]

He's such a knob. Definitely the most entertaining to watch but I don't like most of his interviews. He is actually decent when it comes to working on Eurosport, talking about the game/commentating.

Mark Williams replied to someone on Twitter saying he disagrees. Judging by the state of his post, I think he might be pissed up

[Bobfoc]

A Trump/O'Sullivan final is something I'd really dislike. It would be the biggest match you could have, but they're two players I just don't want to see winning. Neil Robertson is probably the most likely person to stop it from happening.

[Baddar]

That McGill-Clarke match was tense. Neither player really wanted to win it, but the pressure definitely got to Clarke during it. The little altercation affected him badly.

[Bobfoc]

Williams put in a very good session to lead O'Sullivan 6-2. I hope he can keep it up.

Wilson also leads Trump 5-3. As in the previous two rounds, Trump has been sub-par, and Wilson hasn't been great either.

[Bobfoc]

Trump and Wilson are missing everything in the twelfth frame.

[Bobfoc]

Wilson leads 10-6. Trump has missed shots I never thought possible. So has Wilson, but not as many.

[Baddar]

During the downtime, Wilson beat Trump, and Ronnie came back from 7-2 down to win his game against Williams.

It's McGill against Wilson in the first semi from 1pm, then O'Sullivan vs. Selby starts at 7.

[Baddar]

McGill leads Wilson 6-2 after their first session.

Yay

I was gutted to see O'Sullivan make his comeback, but happy to see Trump beaten. I can only hope that Selby plays as well in the semi-finals as he did against Robertson.

[Bobfoc]

Selby hasn't turned up here.

Wilson won the second session 6-2, meaning they're locked at 8-8. It resumes tonight.

O'Sullivan 5-3 Selby is on from 2.30pm.

[Bobfoc]

Selby's got into a better groove this afternoon. I hope it continues.

[Bobfoc]

We're looking at a grandstand finish between McGill and Wilson.

[Baddar]

Wilson laid a great snooker in the decider, McGill missed it multiple times to need a snooker to catch him, but now Wilson has gone in off twice to give McGill a great chance.

[Cymbols]

Unbelievable scenes.

[Baddar]

This is a ridiculous finish.

McGill pots the final red! Big chance now.

And McGill snookers himself to give Wilson the match, but he misses the green.

Wilson takes the final frame, which lasted an hour.

[Bobfoc]

That was absolutely incredible. You won't see many frames that finish 104-83, let alone the decider of a World Championship Semi-Final. Either player would have felt sick to lose that, and Wilson looks sick to have won it.

[Baddar]

No fucking about from Ronnie. A casual 114 break to start the final session. He trails 13-12 now.
