Perry vs Liang straight after this.

Robbo followed by Liang, can this night get any better?

Are there any players you do like?

I like Ding.

I like Hawkins.

Who would you want to win out of Hawkins vs Ding?

DING JOHN WAY

Casual racism from Phil Yates.

Has Liang done his hair?

Phil Yates and mike Hallett would be the dream team, thee wouldn't be a seconds dead air that's for sure!

Good response by Perry after Liang's century. 2-2.

Don't really mind who wins this match, I don't have a strong opinion on either player.

This is excellent from both players.

There's some serious snooker going on between these 2 players.

Tournaments like this are truly wide open. I genuinely believe that about 30 to 40 players entering short format events can win them nowadays. None of the top 5 players of the one year ranking list have even survived the second round. The standard at the top isn't anywhere near as high as it was in the 00s but it's more exciting than ever as a neutral.

Liang

Wouldn't mind Liang in the final he's never dull.

I was going to congratulate Liang, then he reminded me that he's a clown and I just can't take a liking to him.

His celebrations are so cringe worthy.

Did he do anything like that against Ronnie. Given what happened he might have been better off doing it.

Liang must be the most improved player on the tour the last couple of years. I wouldn't mind a Fu v Liang final. It might be a classic.

Shaun Murphy, you superstar!!!

Hawkins one of the favourites for the World Championship this year I reckon

Hawkins. Pull a Bingham.

Liang Wenbo is one of my favorite players, he's great.

Why do you say he's a clown???
Because he's not a dull, boring robot with no personality like 90% of the other players?

Liang plays fast exciting snooker, always goes for his shots, totally fearless. He likes to have fun and smile, he actually has a personality and charisma.

His celebrations are pure joy and happiness! He is genuinely happy to win, he has a right to celebrate.
Why not?

If snooker had more players similar to Liang Wenbo the sport would be much more popular.

Liang is always exciting and fun to watch, he's a throwback to the old days when players were actually entertaining.

Snooker needs charismatic characters, not boring dull robots ala Selby, Robertson, Hawkings, Perry, etc etc

I quite like Robertson, Hawkins, Selby and Perry.

Nothing really. Implied a lot of the Chinese players were the same. I was joking.

Still think he should bring the Superman music back.

It's not just Ronnie that's done it, it's the young players failing to blast onto the scene and shake things up, it's sickening that the back-end of every tournament is full of pensioners and has-never-beens.

It's depressing. The players peaking in this sport right now are killing it.

Normally I would agree, except hardly any of these players have much flair, it's boring.

I agree. Too many dullards are clogging up the baize.

Boys, your issue shouldn't be with pensioners, it should be with the hip youngsters who can build big breaks but couldn't tactic their way out of a paper bag.
