    Was that not potentially a free ball? Red was beside brown.

    I’ve decided I want Lisowski to win and go on to lift the trophy. A new world champion would be nice.


    Lisowski is stepped, fluked snooker on the green wins him the frame.

    If he fell in sh1te he'd come out clean

    Lisowski jammied that frame was being out matchplayed. But on the other hand I gave Lisowski no hope beforehand v Higgins. Thought Higgins would make less errors and out match play him. But no matter what result Lisowski deserves credit at this stage.

    Why do security lads stand at the bottom of the stairs before breakoff and then walk up once frame starts?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,911 ✭✭✭Arthur Daley


    To stop punters coming up annoying the players between frames



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,339 ✭✭✭✭gormdubhgorm


    Good question. My guess is to make sure no one tries to wander in mid frame?

    12-12 it is. Coin toss.

    I see Higgins potting the crucial ball whereas Lisowski will miss it.



  • Moderators, Entertainment Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 13,397 Mod ✭✭✭✭Say Your Number


    Eurosport comms talking about Higgins coming from behind to beat Jamie Cope.

    I remember that match, Cope looked like a good talent, he seems to have vanished off the face of the earth.

    Exciting end to this match. I'd like John to win, because he won't bottle it against O'Sullivan. If Jack wins, I wish him all the best.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,255 ✭✭✭✭sligeach


    I thought that red in the middle might miss, caught the near jaw, barely affected it.

    Bit that amuses me with this game besides the tension. Is Steve Davis - commentator and snooker fan. He is Loving every minute of it and involved in every shot.

    Does Shaun Murphy fancy himself as the all-in-one commentator? He seems to be combing his knowledge of the game with plenty of Ted Lowe-isms. Kind of irritating tbh.



  • Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators Posts: 23,108 Mod ✭✭✭✭Brian?


    Yips for Lisowski. Higgins like granite.

    Lisowski pots some great balls but always has a mistake in him.

    Pity Jack is gonna lose. Sick of seeing the same auld lads all the time.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,586 ✭✭✭newmember2


    Indeed, had the first good opportunity here in the final frame and blew it.

    Rather him than Yates 😋 wish i'd changed the channel :D

    Class is permanent form is temporary. Age is just a number etc etc.

    Class from Higgins, but I feel sorry for Lisowski. That will hurt, he had the first chance in the last frame.


    Ice in Higgins veins at the end.

    Great back to back breaks by Higgins

    I think Higgins will be knackered for the semi-finals. Fatigue seems to catch up with him these days. Class and all as he is.

  • Moderators, Entertainment Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 13,397 Mod ✭✭✭✭Say Your Number


    So Ronnie O'Sullivan, Mark Williams and John Higgins are in the semi finals.

    Did we warp back to 2001?

    Higgins nearly in tears and was speechless for a while for his interview. He seems Almost shocked he won.
