Snooker World Championship.

Just watched the first session of the semi-final between O'Sullivan and Higgins.

O'Sullivan has been slow to get into his stride in the competition  up to now, and started the same here against Higgins.

Went 3-0 down then got going with some brilliant snooker and ended the session 4-4.

Its the first to 17 frames, so I think it will suit O'Sullivan, but Higgins is playing well, but may fade over the next three sessions.

I think whoever wins this semi will play Trump in the final, he's 7-1 up against Williams in the other semi.

Top class snooker

Cheers.

Williams has played some belting snooker up to now but has gone of the boil, I had O’Sullivan/ Williams for the final early on, but I think it’s O’Sullivan / Trump now, Trump is proper boring to watch

I've just caught up with it on the iPlayer, watching it every day, pretty much.  I'd like Williams to win it but I think the quarter final took it out of him, see how he goes tomorrow.

Cheers, D.

Don’t write off John Higgins.

Hope Ronnie goes on to win his 7th title ...by far the best in the world when he can be bothered.  Watched that Lisowski for the 1st time and was impressed , one to watch for the future.

It’s good to see Ronnie enjoying it again, it was painful to watch him not that long ago, Lisowski is definitely one to keep an eye on,  It would be a good final with O’Sullivan and Williams, I think Trump is to safe a player he reminds me a lot of Robertson, you want people who take risky shots and not play a safety game, another one I like to watch is Bingham

[FOXHUNTER 5,020]

Yep I like to see players with a bit flair , can be really boring watching Higgins etc...

Remember Ebdon ....christ he was painful to watch....

[Stavross 13,713]

Yeah, he was proper boring, isn’t he Lisowski’s mentor

Back in the old days

Played with a few of the old lads (white etc) in the old snooker halls where I’m from. Even knew Hendry’s sister. Did some work for her in her house and played in her snooker hall a good few times. We used to sneak into the snooker at Norbreck castle in Blackpool and watch the old greats during the comps, then go on the piss with them in the attached bars and club Good lads and great times to be a young man

Anybody just seen Williams finish before the break? 

[Stavross 13,713]

Yeah, that yellow was amazing, he’s still got a bit of a hill to climb but the last 3 frames he’s been on fire

[antg 1,729]

got to admire them. 30 years playing and still at the top. takes some work and dedication for sure.

Williams long potting is outstanding.

CHEERS.
