Let the haters spout their deluded crap
The funny thing is,one can critisize a players performance,this was rubbish,that was rubbish,but no matter how a player plays,important is that he wins the match.
John,ll obviously not be pleased with what he produced tnight,but he,s still managed to take a lead.

No Barry gave him 4 frames start that session had 2-2 written all over it now Barry will be looking for 3-1 interval score to level at 6-6 that's more than on tomorrow

good for hawkins they'll only play one session tomorrow. so he shouldnt be fatigued when going into the last day of this semi which makes a Beast mode appearance at least a little bit likelier. But atm its hard to see Hawkins raising his game so I don't think it will happen.

Given how disappointed he will have been to have lost the fourth frame, Hawkins will be very happy to have got back to 5-3

The thread will be locked on Saturday after the conclusion of the second semi-final whilst the totals calculated. Those with a chance of winning the contest ahead of the final will be asked to PM predictions to me ahead of the final - to ensure there's no nursing of advantages. Should I be in the running, then an alternative recipient for PM'd predictions will be sough.
With us down to one table, here are the points up for grabs
7pts seed defeats seed
Best of 33 or 35 frame matches
5pts correct score
3pts one frame out
1pt two frames out
Maximum Predictions
Players may predict any number of players to make a max
12pts Nominated Player scoring a maximum
-3pts Nominated Player faiing to score a maximum
Players score nothing for no maximum nomination
Maximum is a 147 break with 15 reds or a 155 with a freeball 16th red
Tournament winner
Players choose two names
12pts Nominated Player winning the World Championships
6pts Nominated Player finishing runner up in the World Championship
Good Luck all. Been a really close contest so far with all to play for heading into the final days.
