2019 World Snooker Championship

No. I like Judd.

I go back and forth on Judd. For a while I was a fan and felt for him when he was playing poorly. But sometimes he comes across as being a bit full of himself and that annoys me a bit. The same with Ronnie. I'm a big fan, but sometimes his attitude and behaviour really makes me question why I cheer for him. Brecel is another one.

I'm really torn about tomorrow. I was hoping for a Gilbert vs Wilson final, so I don't want either of them to win. Higgins probably deserves another WC having made three finals in a row.

A world championship semi-final... the FLAGSHIP event.... and they can't even do the job of setting the f*cking table up correctly?....

McManus: "Just one question, Judd. Tell us what it's like coming down those stairs."
Trump: "Oh, it's amazing, isn't it?"
McManus: "I don't know."

Good interview from John as well. He talks once again about scheduling at the end.

He is right, it has no sense that plays both sessions without almost rest

Final should be a 8-9-8-10 format; but right now it is a 17-18 format, because both sessions are played too tight in time

[Billy]

Yeah, but wouldn't it be awesome.

No. I like Judd.

Trump with 88% pot success against Wilson. If he plays at that level against Higgins he has very little chance of winning. He needs at least two sessions of his A or B+ game to have any chance.

Well done Judd, unlucky for Gary he has had a great run and lots of money to take home.
Speaking of money i have Judd at 6/1 to win from the very start, i hope that pesky Scott is too tired to keep up with him

[Stony152]

I suspect that's against the rules.

Yeah, but wouldn't it be awesome.

When Judd goes into his "naughty snooker" act at the end of frames it must be really annoying to his opponents. I'm not sure what the rules are in the EPL, but in the NFL in America it's considered to be in very poor taste to celebrate excessively. He's basically rubbing it into the face of his opponent when he does that.

My fantasy is that one of his opponents gets out his chair and drops him with a right upercut to the jaw. That would be awesome.

We need quinten hann!

It wasn't as good as my prediction when I said Higgins would come back and win after Hendry wrote him off at 13-7 (or whatever it was at the time)

Okay, I got the final scoreline wrong when I said 17-14, but when Hendry writes a player off in a match, said player will go on to win.

I think it was 12-7 and then 13-9. Gilbert needed to win one of the last two frames last night. Higgins played just about as poorly as possible and was only two frames behind.

I stand by this comment. If he had finished up last night ahead 14-10 he would have gotten over the line today.

Think the new nickname for Gary Wilson should be Churchill the dog out of the adverts. His head wobbles and shakes so much, I'm surprised its still attached to his neck!!

[Stony152]

That missed green is going to cost Gilbert the match.
