    Some break by Kyren, probably happy enough to pick up every second frame from here.

    He hasn't got bogged down in Jones game like the others he played.

    Wilson is a good player, look at some of his break building. Jones positional play is not up to it



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,461 ✭✭✭✭sligeach


    Wilson is so relaxed he can have banter with the audience, something he wouldn't normally do. He surely he knows this is in the bag already, barring a catastrophic collapse. Handiest tournament run anyone could ever ask for.

    Unforgivable miss by Jones on the black. He is so lucky Kyren has run out of position on the 3 reds in the centre of the table.

    It's a miracle. Jones has potted a long red. It was a good pot, even if it did wipe its feet on the way in.

    The match may be already over, but if Jak had missed the red down the cushion(another good pot) it definitely would be.

    Just not good enough

    "He's on nothing, can you believe it?" Yes John, their positional play is terrible.

    EDIT: Jones is in…one visit win??

    The amount of empty seats 😶



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,461 ✭✭✭✭sligeach


    Would you stop talking about something that hasn't happened(yet maybe)? Shaun talking about the deficit being only 3 going into tomorrow.

    We're witnessing something very rare. Jones winning in one visit and possibly getting a century break.

    Nah, no century.

    That was Jones' first one visit frame win in the final and the semi-final.

    Jak wins next frame makes it interesting.

    Good response by Jones

    Needs a big drop off from Kyren

    Was expecting the worst, but it hasn't been a bad final



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,813 ✭✭✭Arthur Daley


    Three Century club seats empty beside Jak. Prawn sandwich brigade, but the money's paid a year ago.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,461 ✭✭✭✭sligeach


    Kyren has broken down in his break. Big frame and excellent chance for Jones to reduce the gap to 3 frames.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,123 ✭✭✭sully123


    Find shawn Murphy very difficult



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,931 ✭✭✭Xander10


    Brilliant black under pressure.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,461 ✭✭✭✭sligeach


    Good break by Jones under the pressure. A few of the balls barely went in, hit any harder and some would have missed.

    Wilson only needs 1 snooker here.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 628 ✭✭✭maximus15


    full of crap . On what planet is been 3 frames up after day one in world snooker final missing the boat . His phrases at times are nonsensical .



  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators Posts: 9,213 Mod ✭✭✭✭mewso


    Painful commentator especially when you have Hendry wasted in the studio providing the spoofery in between frames. Reverse the roles since Murphy is more suited to bull crap. Anyway Jones is winning me over here. Think I'll cheer for him now but years of cheering on Jimmy White means he probably wouldn't want me in his corner.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 59,471 ✭✭✭✭walshb


    score??



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,748 ✭✭✭✭gormdubhgorm


    Jones making an eejit of himself. Did the same v Bingham instead of rolling the ball over the pocket when his opponent needs a snooker. He wallops the object ball. Also gives a chance of going in off with the white as well. I don't get it. Winds me up because it is so senseless.

    Guff about stuff, and stuff about guff.

    That was a massive swerve to try and make. Bad mistake in my opinion by Jones.

    This could be a killer blow for Jones if Wilson wins this frame.

    Legend for me. Kyren looking nervous. That was a wild attempt on the pink.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,931 ✭✭✭Xander10


    I hope Virgo has taken his blood pressure meds



  • Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators Posts: 23,032 Mod ✭✭✭✭Brian?


    Agree. Long straight yellow, roll it over the pocket. No absolutely melt it at the pocket.

    Thank #### John and Shaun hopefully won't be on commentary tomorrow.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,123 ✭✭✭sully123


    What a great frame!



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,813 ✭✭✭Arthur Daley


    Drama now



  • Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators Posts: 23,032 Mod ✭✭✭✭Brian?


    Wilson doesn’t deserve this frame
