He really could be a shock finalist.

would he meet Ronnie in the final? sorry - I know I'm being lazy and could work it out

Yeah, I am too lazy to look it up too!

Playing as well as this, Ronnie might be the only one who can beat him...

Holt is playing well I take it? Gutted that I'm at work straight after class. There's certainly been signs towards the end of this year that something had been clicking with him, ever since I saw him at the CL.

Yep. If Ronnie makes it that far.

The old master vs the young..... er, isn't Holty nearly 40 too?

twitch from mcgill

despite leading mcgill has thrown some frames away

Well Marco's thrown away a lot of chances this session already.

Holt looks twitchy now. Not used to being the front runner?

3-1.

McGill hasn't been great but he's got an opportunity come out 4-0 in this session.

Dale basically saying the pockets are buckets. In contrast to the BBC the other day trying to make out they were tough.

Yesterday someone said that Hendry and Davis had both said they were buckets. I didn't hear it though.

It's disgraceful. I want to see the best players winning.

buckets these pockets

When players are clearly playing pots off the jaws of the pockets you know they are too big. World Snooker need to get this sorted, it's making a mockery of the tournament.

Yes, there's an argument that the pockets are generous for everyone so the best players should still win.

Also, McGill should never have took that last pot on.

if mcgill doesnt go with a lead into the final session he loses
another frame thrown away

It think it's a leveller, the lesser players have more of a chance. I just tweeted Barry Hearn asking him to sort it

What's this about Steve Davis going on a toilet break?

selby leads the pot quiz? wtf

Pot quiz?

holt playing and having the swagger like he won 70+ rankers and 20 triple crowns

Holt doing the biz. All those who say choke should fess up; this guy is real.

can he do a murphy? his first ranker to be the WC

why cant MJW as little consistent as higgins is nowadays.

MJW has declined from the 1975 boys the worst

It could be argued that folk like Wilson have benefited from the bags. Snooker players are opportunists and if you give them candy, they'll take it. This has not helped the more tactically minded. And a lot of true fans are losing respect but Baz don't care, he loves the oohs and ahhs from the audience.

Davis was saying that it could just be a fraction bigger when the fitters do the pockets combined with new clothes making balls slide in off the jaws
