A journeyman is a noble and respected demarcation in Europe denoting one who is taking the correct steps to learn his trade to the highest level. Only in Britain is it a derogatory term.
All of these players in the semis are to be respected for making it to become professionals and reaching this stage. They have all earned the right to be there.

So Jimmy is past his best despite never having reached a semi before.
Could you explain that to me???

A journeyman is a pro that makes a career playing professional sport without ever really reaching the top

This tournament is one too many. Terrible line up. 4 boring Englishmen playing the semis in Belgium. Ironic after Brexit!
This is more interesting:

Not always easy to define what a journeyman is. If you want to be harsh you could stretch that term.
Dominic Dale for instance is a pro since 1992 and he's won two ranking titles. But for the most part of his career he's lost in the qualification-,1st and 2nd rounds and never become a Top16 player. So is he a journeyman or had the career of a journeyman? Some would say yes (me included), some no.
So all we can say is that there are the very obvious journeymen like all those who are for real just not good enough and never even came close to win a title in their career. We speak about players who stay at the bottom of the rankings for ever. Those are undoubtely journeymen.
But apart from that its pretty much a matter of definition and probably a personal opinion thing.

No, I haven't BadSnookerPlayer.
These best of 7 events are a lottery.
These guys are journeymen. They are cashing in no doubt but it is a weak title to win.

Going back to the 80s you had Silvino Francisco winning a ranking event then in the 90s you had Tony Jones winning a Ranking tournament late 90s Brian Morgan came so close to beating Ronnie in a ranking final and early 2000s David Gray winning.
You will always have players coming from nowhere to win tournaments it has nothing to do with formats as Vodka says its just life these days there so many events you bound to get it more frequant.
Selby has won more PTC Events than any other player they were best of 7s.

Francisco and Gray were proper top players.
Tony Jones might be similar, he actually won the European Open. But we got 4 Tony Joneses here, 3 of them long past their best.
