World Championship discussion

Great! Now we get to hear the most annoying cry in sport. "Come on Ronnie." That really does grind me down.

LOL. I got to positives reps for that post from two John Higgins fans. Can you guess who they were?

Bit of a conundrum for me about the final session of Higgins and O'Sullivan. Manchester United are playing AC Milan at the same time so I may have to record the snooker.

Hey, I always goodrep posts that make me spit coke onto my screen. I have a habit of forgetting to clean it otherwise.

Cor Blimey! I also got 2 positive reps today after getting a few dozen negatives!!. Must be the positive play today!

Yep same here, I think Man Utd always take precedent for me though, especially on the verge of a European Cup final and possibly another treble!

This evening session cloud very well be the best for over one year. Lovely snooker, all four players in the arena scoring heavily!

Just my five words, as I was so immersed into the Snooker yesterday evening I didn’t come on for any comments later on.
That was quite a day yesterday! Right, Higgins and Carter speedily through as expected. Selby kicking Ebdon out in style, although the latter seemed to be willing to play on for the ‘100 snooker’ situation in the end. That was such a silly ending to that game. Robertson/O’Sullivan, I couldn’t really decide whom to root for and was just happy that that match had turned into a real game. But what a pity for Neil to have broken down on that frame-ball pink. Can’t help but thinking, the game would have ended differently, had that gone in. (So I guess I was favouring Neil)
All in all fabulous semis and final to be expected. I keenly hope, that Ronnie, Matthew, Maguire, and Selby will feature. (4 of my favs still in at this stage is rather nice!)

[missneworleans]

My best favs (Hendry, Ken) are out, and they really made me sad
But I like Maguire, maybe Selby, Carter and Hamilton, and one of the champions will be out (c's of Higgins-O'Sullivan match), so it will be interesting!

[Maija]

Maguire v Hamilton 1-0
Murphy v Stevens 0-1

Mon lads, keep it up

Talking of bad reps someone gave me negative rep for this and it took 12 points off!

[Maija]

Frame 2 of Mags-Hamilton ended on a respotted black. I still don't understand why Mags chose to level instead of trying for snookers. Sooo 1-1.

It's really weird how rep is given... esp negative rep for no reason at all!

Back to the snooker, Stevens is looking good, 75 points while Murphy had 0 and 3-0 ahead now!! GO MATTHEW!

Meanwhile, Hamilton is putting up quite a fight, should be a close match...

[Alex0paul]

Maguire makes a 106 break to go 2-1 up
