"what a difference a mid-session-interval makes...
...15 little minutes"

" as we see him give himself a good hiding" not a line you expect to hear from a snooker commentator .
Joe Johnson, pure class!

Had they postponed the finish of the match after second semi is finished? I had to leave, that match was just gruesome....

or Steve Davis when Jamie Jones chinese snookered himself by the brown and was going to have to bridge over the brown
"...he will have to jack himself over the brown..."

[svendh]

Come on David

That was terrible sportsmanship what do you think lads? That sort of behavior gets right on my nerves. He never even had the decency to look Grace in the eye or shake his hand properly. I hope he gets whitewashed in the final now

Missed the end, what happened

Well, that was pretty poor stuff, let's be honest. Scrappy all the way through, with just the one big break between them. Grace can be pleased with his week, as no one expected him to reach the semi-finals, but I'm sure he will look back to this match and reflect on the two pinks he missed that directly cost him two frames. A solid performance would have been enough to beat Liang today, but I suppose it's understandable that they both succumbed to the pressure of the occasion today.

The evening match should be great, that's all I have time to say, and I'll skip the prediction as well. :wink:

After potting the black, Liang jumped around the arena like a monkey for five seconds and screamed loudly, then turned around to shake Grace's hand. Not the nicest way to behave really, but I suppose it's understandable, since this was the highlight of his career so far...

Got to feel sorry for Grace, I thought he conducted himself extremely well given the circumstances and immense, and very unfamiliar, pressure. The Liang reaction seemed contrived to me, not 100% natural, unlike when Ebdon let go, which I think was pure emotion. I agree with the previous post, shake hands first, properly, then you can react. Hope Selby takes down Robertson, but I fear the worst. My guess is 6-2 to the Aussie robot.

[tedisbill]

People are too easily offended these days for me. Liang was obviously incredibly happy as that is the biggest point in his career. Nothing personal. Stop taking offence so easily. You'll feel more relaxed generally then as well

[Chappy5]

Robbo playing some fantastic Snooker and rarely looks like missing.

You can never write off Selby though and he will make his run for sure but 4-0 down at the break against a rampaging Robbo is a hell of a hole to dig yourself out of.

think jimmys idea of a massage and mine are a bit different

[Dr_Doctor]

Just saw the replay of the Liang vs Grace match. Liang's reaction was fun to watch. Not boring at all.

[Chappy5]

What a Blue to take on with the rest from Robbo and gee whiz that frame to go up 5-0 was awesome!
