C'mon Barry !!! You can do it mate . . .

As bad as this is, I've got a feeling it will get very exciting towards the end.

We just have to suffer the first 25 frames or so...

Ha...confirmation at last...Hazel does read this board!!!

She just informed us about 'medal man' Peter (the old geezer in the background).

Not much to tell though, but still pretty cool they put a bit of the spotlight on him...that was nice (not that he seemed to care much though)

Guess I'll have to be careful what I post from now on (esp. comments reg. Hazel)

Its not great quality at all, Barry will be hoping to win this frame go into the mid session interval 7-5 which will be a good effort and he might just settle him down, Walden has disappointed me today, his lead overnight should have settled him better than this effort

[cpenney]

Trump needs to show a bit of resepect, he talks about Ronnie like he's your average pro.
I hope he acknowledges Ronnie's greatness after this match.

Was counting my $$$ at 10-6, that frame was massive. Still expect ROS to pull through however.

Hawkins highest break this match is 36.
As terrible as I am. I managed to get a 36 the other day playing my mate after quite a few pints. LOL.

I like this style of bad snooker. It's something I can relate to.

Do you think you would manage a break of 36 in his situation? I am stuck at work again and in a way happy I don't have to watch it if it's as bad as you guys say it is, but I will be ready for 8pm tonight!

If you are in the world semi final and your highest break is 36 and you are only 7-4 with a chance to go 7-5 then you'll both disgusted and delighted I guess

I'm sure Hawkins must be delighted. If he or Walden played like this against Trump or Ronnie then they would steam roller them.

I don't know but really, it's some of the worst snooker I've ever seen on TV. Most of the early qualifying matches I've seen streamed where of better quality then this.

I have to agree. For Hawkins to be 12 frames into a Semi Final of ANY tournament, and to have a highest break of 36 is disgraceful. BUT to only be 2 frames behind, shows that the other player isn't almost as big a disgrace too. Its "car crash" compulsive viewing though 'cos both players are SO bad. This is utter tripe as far as quality goes, but I can't stop watching it Its so unfair though that either Trump or O'Sullivan will be going out and one of these two will be in the Final, but that's sport I guess, often very unfair!

I wouldn't be surprised if this game is destroying Walden mentally, he should be out of sight, Hawkins will win this now I think, it'll either be 8-8 or 9-7 to Hawkins at the end of this session, another bold statement I know
