Good luck Honest John BOHE and Robbo tomorrow morning, and Yupeng for the afternoon. Hope Maguire and Perry keep it up, although I think Maguire will start running away with at some point. You get the feeling Joe is hanging onto Maguire and hoping he makes a mistake.

Robertson looked awesome from 3-1 down today. He will take a lot of beating.

Williams will need to play a lot better if he is to beat O'Sullivan. He is long overdue a win against O'Sullivan, then again so is Carter!!

If Cao wins he stays on the tour. Motivation enough? ;-)


But also, pressure enough?

Cao cue action and potting is :bowdown:


And if that don't work, he'll resort to some Chinese cheating.

John Higgins vs Stephen Hendry:

Two all time greats facing each other for the first time ever in the Crucible. What a match that will be. It would have been absolutely amazing 10 years ago but it still should be a terrific match now in the year 2012.
Stephen Hendry has had many incredible moments and victories here at the Crucible but I'm sure a win over the reigning World Champion would be up there with his greatest moments he had here.

hes bringing his golf clubs down with him from scotland but he will be up for that match like hes never been

John is the closest challanger for his 7 WC so this is a Classic Moment like Hendry v Davis in 1994 semi final when Stephen was the challanger...

Can't believe we haven't seen this match at the Crucible before, want Hendry to win but went for Higgins in the Prediction Contest. Talking of which SnookerFan would you care to entertain me with your predictions for this round.
