This certainly is a good advertisement to the general population tuning in out of curiousity. What a dreadful session.

not at all! just my opinion. he can sound like a bit of school teacher telling someone off sometimes

To honest I prefer that to Ken Doherty's neverending wisecracks.

And Taylor doesn't vomit drivel out of my TV?

Hendry most recently lost to Peter Lines and Barry Pinches, so thankfully there'll be no return

Jesus, no wonder he retired.

Hendry could have come out of retirement and won this year !

Morning all, everyone seems running out of gas at this stage of the tournament. i dont think trump will have another shot like this to finally become world champion.

I said losing another one would make Higgins recorded look worse.

I'm also not convinced it' his last chance to win, how many of us thought we could (potentially) see him in 3 back to back finals in his early 40s?

Losing in the Semis is worse on his record than losing in the final though. And it means he has zero chance of lifting the title. I can't think of any reason Higgins losing today is better than him winning.

Higgins has said he has considered retiring this season. It could be his last season win or lose. His last world title was 2011. In all likelyhood this is his best chance to lift another title. His game has been in steady decline and his form has been poor all season.

That's nonsense. This could feasibly be Higgins last chance to win his 5th title. There's no way a loss in the semis is better than that.

Ronnie wants to win every year, whatever he says. What Ronnie wants or does has no impact whatsoever on Higgins record. If Higgins gets 5, that's better than having 4, how can that make his record look worse?

I'd take Selby out in favour of White but apart from that spot on.

I don't even know what that means. What does White (Jimmy, Michael?) have to do with the standard of play in this years tournament?
