The Snooker Thread (Part 2)

He’s right. I was far too conservative.

Good answer by Higgins. 11-8.

Being able to watch Ronnie O’Sullivan in this form is true public service broadcasting.

My brother in law is off to Sheffield this morning - he has tickets for the first and last session of the final.

Lucky git. And he’s not even hugely into snooker.

103 break for John Higgins. 12-9. Needs a few more like that.

Gilt edged chance for Higgins here. The sort you’d have a thought of 147 about before even potting a ball.

He makes 16.

Another century - this time from Ronald Antonio.

Feel sorry for Higgins there. Very unlike him.

John Higgins thumping his cue off the ground in a similar style to how the young Boris Becker would thump his racket off the ground at Wimbledon.

Heads gone

Fork time for John Higgins. Had a very good chance to take this frame “against the head” but broke down again. 14-9. Surely no way back now.

Head totally went. Never seen him slam the cue like that before.

15-9 Ronnie. Another century

Maradona at the San Paolo.
Messi at the Camp Nou.
Connolly at Parnell Park.
O’Sullivan at the Crucible.

I used the O’Sulllivan Connolly comparison myself only yesterday.

Judd misses an easy one and Williams in. Has to win this to really increase pressure on Judd
