Higgins should have won by miles.
I enjoyed watching Yan all week but that was an error strewn performance that you'd normally expect to be punished.
Good job Higgins doesn't have form for throwing matches...

Started watching this year (and only on and off) from the end of the quarters. Disappointing how Wilson folded, not sure I can give a shit.

Though Bingham has tried his heart out there. Made a brilliant chance, needs to take it otherwise this one-off 5th session will not go all the way

He should be banned from world sport for that outfit he's wearing this evening, that is criminal.

Can just see Selby being public enemy no 1 if he wins this by boring Murphy off the table. Commentators uncharacteristically getting pissy and it's just the 1st session.

Murphy good so far: 4-3 with one more frame to come
― xyzzzz__, Sunday, 2 May 2021 14:57 (three years ago) link
They're good mates aren't they? Funny how everyone hated Murphy ten years ago and now he's one of the better-liked players.
― imago, Sunday, 2 May 2021 15:12 (three years ago) link
7-7, just rumbling along..
― xyzzzz__, Sunday, 2 May 2021 20:33 (three years ago) link
Tied Murphy in knots here, nothing controversial, should be 10-7 up overnight and well on his way to a 4th world title
― xyzzzz__, Sunday, 2 May 2021 21:52 (three years ago) link
Doherty and Hendry otm re: Murphy. You are not going to get 3/4 sbookers off Selby. It's also a pretty laughable sight. What Murphy can do is outscore.
Very hard to see this going any other way.
― xyzzzz__, Sunday, 2 May 2021 22:26 (three years ago) link
Shared session. A glimpse that Murphy could get on a run but seeing is believing.
― xyzzzz__, Monday, 3 May 2021 15:41 (three years ago) link
Murphy keeping the hope alive!
― calzino, Monday, 3 May 2021 20:53 (three years ago) link
oh fuck he takes some real gambler type decisions that go wrong does Murphy
― calzino, Monday, 3 May 2021 21:11 (three years ago) link
Would've been an incredible, all-time red.
Selby had loads of insurance by the time his long potting went to shit. It was terrific how he chose a safety instead of the red to the middle. Just that pinch of conservatism to get him over the line.

Lol, a professional should almost always beat an amateur.

Selby is on his way out. Yan is a really top player though, that shot to pot the brown to go 11-7 up was a bit of magic. Just willed that in.
― xyzzzz__, Saturday, 23 April 2022 19:17 (two years ago) link
Lol @ Selby losing the longest frames (including the longest in crucible history). He is one away from going home.

wilson bingham shaping up into a humdinger
― im zelenky (||||||||), Sunday, 24 April 2022 21:30 (two years ago) link
Yeah Bingham should've closed it out actually but he made a stupid error on 8-5. Wilson then grabbed the rest of the session.

Incredible clearance from Lisowski there

Yeah really good. And he wins at the next.
Don't think he's that good on the safety game but I am glad Robertson is out.

O'Sullivan is pretty much in the semis. Totally undisturbed run.
Yan has been brilliant tonight. 6-2 down now 7-7. This breaks started with a double.
― xyzzzz__, Tuesday, 26 April 2022 21:11 (two years ago) link
Another beautiful century by O'Sullivan to reach his 13th century SF. He wins it 50% of the time from here you know.

I introduced snooker to my in-laws over in Poland over Easter! They all got hooked on it. We were watching on Eurosport. It was annoying how when Radzi Chinyanganya was talking to pundits Jimmy and Ronnie* who were pundits in what looked like a basement their voices were immediately overlaid with the Lektor translation, but that's Polish TV for you! For some reason Poles have never got into subtitles.
* playing and pundit-ing. Bit unusual, I thought.

Danger signs for Mark Williams. 9-8 down then on a 28 break and an easy miss on a red..
― xyzzzz__, Wednesday, 27 April 2022 13:58 (two years ago) link
Made a century at the next chance he got.
Haven't seen a young player this together in all areas of the game at a World Championship since Selby.

some vintage stuff being played in that rn

10-10 at the mid session. Excellent response by Mark.

Judd is playing ok but Williams is not at the races. On the way to losing the session 7-1

Trump Higgins would be the nightmare final
nothing to do but grit teeth and hope judd does it again in that case tbh
