Pity that we have to wait until 7pm for the snooker to start. This is the first day this week that I've been at home all day.

Is it?
This actually annoys me. Probably more than the announcement of best of fives did.
Bloody horse racing.

Says he wants to play at the Crucible, then goes on to say he’s going to pick and choose his tournaments. Doesn’t really add up, does it?

Should be a close final I hope, I actually don’t mind who wins despite being a Williams fan. I just think new winners are good for the game too.

He needs to pay more no doubt and make breaks that is a major fail in his game during this come back.
Did not see his match with Wilson but against Wakelin his long game was better than id seen it for donkeys.
Had he not lost his long game in 2012 he would have been a better player and might not have retired.

Come on man, at least it’s a proper match length, even if it isn’t a proper final format.

Not sure why the final is half hour later than usual for. That's a bit annoying.

Yeah, there are players out there that play in absolutely everything they can, good players, and they’ll never play at the Crucible. The players that do get there not only put the time in but also have that extra something, which Hendry potentially still has. But without putting time into tournament play it’s no use having that X factor alone. I just don’t see how he thinks he’ll play there again unless he does everything he can to maximise his chances of getting there.
Problem is there’s such a fine line between winning matches and not quite having the form and focus to get you through and build consistency. He needs to use every tool in the box to create that extra few percent, and that includes putting himself into battle over and over, win or lose.

Wouldn't it be weird for both G Wilson and Gilbert to get back to back ranking wins just after the two year anniversary of their World's haul expires!
Maybe there is some truth to the notion that seeing yourself plummet in the rankings is the best coach you can have.

His long game has been easily the best part of his game since he came back.
