The Snooker Thread (Part 1)

Murphy 4-2 Bingham

Murphy 4-3 Bingham

End of a very enjoyable first session.

Murphy 4-4 Bingham.

Good stuff from Bingham to hold on this afternoon.

Murphy 5-4 Bingham

Bingham looked like he was cruising the opening frame, but the Basildon potter missed a straightforward red when on a 57 break. Murphy stepped in with a lovely clearance to pinch the opening frame of the night.

Murphy 6-4 Bingham

Very impressive from Murphy. Hate these ton up placards in the crowd, get this shite out of The Crucible :mad:

Murphy 7-4 Bingham

Another century from Murphy, capped with an exhibition pot on the black! What can Bingham do about this?

Why isnā€™t the woman reffing this year?

She retired.

Willie needs to be told thereā€™s 9 frames this evening

Murphy 8-4 Bingham

Bingham blows another big lead, I think heā€™ll be glad to get the interval there. Murphy is on fire.

Ah @Tassotti tell us what this cunt Murphy has been up to. Sickening interview with him there, heā€™s like snookerā€™s Eoin McLove.

A 76 break makes it 8-5, Bingham needed that.

Murphy 8-6 Bingham

A total clearance of 130 brings us to 8-6. That was the 84th century of the tournament. A new record. Murphy is missing shots he was dropping in before the interval, Bingham has his tail up now, this is superb stuff!

Bingham should have gone for centre pocket there.
