I'd expect the winner of that to win the whole thing but I'd rather see Johnny Foreigner knock Higgins out.

Could teach him a thing or two about throwing a frame or two when youve got 50 quid on it.

John's face as they watch the guy wipe the cushions with a cloth after complaining about the dodgy bounces

I can't say I'm disappointed to see Selby out (great player but it's nice to see things shake up a bit). I'm probably going to root for John Higgins now Ronnie is out.

Yeh lets root for John Higgins. If he owned up to it or served some meaningful ban I wouldn't mind him being on the circuit now, but the complete media cover up of it stunk.

Cool, you like him, too? Great player. :cool:

As good as Higgins is, he's a cheat that got let off because of what he brings to the game. Ie. Audiences and viewing figures. He has to live with it though.

Really enjoying this years tourney. Lots of upsets and surprises.

This years has been amazing, have they upped the prize money or something?

I regret going to work during the day time sessions as I miss out on all the madness, Kyren Wilson has defaulted to my snooker level this morning... Everyone seems to be having 33% of the terrible sessions and the winner is who can get out of them!

Fantastic snooker though :cool:

Well who would have imagined at the start of the tournament that David Gilbert and Gary Wilson would be in the semi finals.

Higgins had money on it

Joking aside, he seems to just perform at the Crucible.

Judds the best current player there, but in a long grind, I can see Higgins getting the better of him. Another 40+ world champ incoming I feel.

He is, but he'll lose his mind at some point, start playing ridiculous shots and blow his chance.

ic1male · 1 May 2019 at 23:18

Yeah, I’m highly expecting Gary Wilson to beat him. He’s won their only meeting previously.

marc2003 · 3 May 2019 at 13:29

Dave Gilbert 10-6 up on Higgins. It would be epic if he holds on and makes the final.

el_dazza · 3 May 2019 at 19:43

Higgins is playing appallingly.

Not any more he isn't.

UTmaniac · 4 May 2019 at 15:58

14-14 Gilbert v Higgins now, at the final session interval! :eek:

Hopefully Gilbert can get going again, would be nice to have a guaranteed new world champ this year.

ic1male · 4 May 2019 at 16:35

Come on lad. I want a Dave v Judd final tomorrow.

marc2003 · 4 May 2019 at 17:34

Come on Dave. Just one more.

marc2003 · 4 May 2019 at 17:47

Oh **** off Higgins you ******* ****. :mad:
