i wont name names but weve all seen them walking or limping about the Crucible and other events
each to their own, but snooker needs to rid itself of this stigma
you can included yourself in that, as spastics nearly always wear yellow wrist watches

So how has this match gone? I come in and see all the BBC team talking about it being a complete missfest. Would I be right in thinking that whoever comes through will get smashed by Selby/Bingham?

I agree with Steve there on the studio, matthew hasnt won more in his career cause he sometimes lacks the killer instinct and the bottle needed in decisive moments... How Williams won the last frame I'll never know, but it could give him some confidence that he badly needs

No, you would be right, particularly if Selby comes through, which i expect him to

Heard JV say that he expected Stevens's pot success to be lower. It's 89%. Sums everything up, I suppose.

MJW closes to 4-3. Is that 59 among the highest breaks of the match?

Reckon it is... lol.. and somehow he ony trails by one... how badly has Williams played today... blobfest this match is indeed
I predicted a 6-5 win for Williams, at 4-1 down and playing the way he was I never thought that possible but now I think he can still do it.. let's see

Stevens has no bottle though, so if it goes 4-4, I think MJW could crawl over the line no matter how rubbish his snooker is. That's the only reason I went with him in predicts.

Some pots Stevens missed would have people screaming and throwing their arms up if they had been played by … say, Burnett.

To be fair Monique I have heard people say that this match dodgy. Probably by some idiots who can't handle losing money, which makes you wonder why they bother gambling

I never had any sympathy for people losing money while gambling. Nobody forces them. They take the risk, they should accept the consequences. The bookies business wouldn't be successful if punters weren't losing more than they win. Anyone with a brain should realise that. However snooker relies so much on the bookies for its sponsoring that it can't afford to lose their trust. I'd rather have snooker less dependent on that business, but at this moment in time it does.

4-4
Don't think Stevens will hold himself together mentally. Have to pop out again but don't particularly care about the winner. Hope the Selby match is much better.
Go MJW for predicts, I suppose.
