Hope he is alright.

Also, is this further evidence of the conspiracy against him by Worldsnooker? We're through the looking glass here people..

Are private A&E even a thing?

Not in Sheffield they're not.

A&E. Could be hear a while, couldn’t stick the chest pains no more. Lucky there wasn’t any more frames to play.

Mmm. Hope all's okay, as you say.

Surely he's gone private, though? Wouldn't have though waiting times would be an issue. Are private A&E even a thing?

An hour is a long time in snooker.

Super stuff from Garry, looks as cool as the proverbial cucumber.

Great composure from Wilson. It's his to lose now. If he carries on playing the way he has, I can't see Selby taking the last session 6-3 to turn this around.

[cueman]

Ominous for the rest if Selby keeps this up. He's looking comfortable and thrives on the long frame matches and pressure. I think he should be installed as the favourite now, by far the most likely to come through the section with Ronnie gone. When he reaches a final, in recent years, he nearly always wins.

Looks like Robertson is betting favourite. is that a recent thing or purely down to being 2 sessions ahead of the trump/ding progress wise? I fancied Robertson going in to the tournament, his odds must've shortened loads

I only got 4/1 for Robbo on the morning when it started, i also got 6/1 for Trump, and 9/1 for Selby

Don't even remember that

Said folk asked him daft questions. One kid asked him how Willie Thorne got his head so shiney lol. Don't think his parting with BBC was on friendly terms.

[narl]

He retired after the BBC wanted to change his role a bit. I remember him getting interviewed and he said he was being asked to do guided tours of The Crucible amongst other things. He wasn't happy.

Anyone know whatever happened to Alan Hughes who used to do the introductions to the matches years ago? I'm guessing he retired but he was doing it so long i don't remember him ever getting any kind of special mention that it was his last time doing it.

Whose brilliant idea was it to have a player still active in the tournament commentate on another match between sessions of his own? It would be like a Liverpool player commentating on a match between Chelsea and City the day before his own next match. It's ludicrous.

I can't imagine he is contractually obligued, so it can only be his decision. Bizarre.
