1 more sleep! Genuinely excited. No stand out favourite for me. Could be brilliant

I can’t explain the empty seats. But I do see the empty seats, afternoon and evening session. I’ve never seen so many at a final, it’s shocking.
It wasn’t full at the start of the session, so has nothing to do with transport links. It also wasn’t full this afternoon either
Probably speculative buys who are underwhelmed by the finalists or expected 'their guy' to be in it but he isn't.
More plausible than transport issues IMO. You'd think people know what to expect in terms of times when they book tickets for a WC snooker final. Wasnt even all that late tonight.
Its sold out. Transport links in Sheffield are poor. People relying on busses and trains leave before the end of the evening session.
I suppose your question could be rephrased "why does the WORLD championship need to be in a place with good transport links?" And the answer to that would be pretty self evident.
Given that it's sold out, and is nowhere near full by the end of the evening sessions, how do you explain the empty seats?
Murphy is good I think. But the way Virgo talks you would swear he was a world beater snooker player.
Years ago I had an old coach who would use Virgo as his main example, 30 years a pro and one tournament win. Because he had no "back pause" in his cue action. That is what he thought of him.
I seem to remember Mark Williams said he turns off snooker commentary because he cannot listen to some of them. Talking a good game. I assume he meant Virgo.
I hate Murphy as a commentator, and Virgo is so negative
Ya, I didn't think about that. Rolling the yellow up would have been the choice in hindsight. Earlier in the break he was lucky some of the balls dropped, they did so because there wasn't much pace and they wobbled in. The yellow might have done likewise with less pace.
The relative poor standard where pots are missed is making this final riveting all of a sudden.
Yep we'll be talking about it for over 20 hours.
That was bizzare alright I assumed that he was just going to roll the ball over the pocket, could be the turning point of the whole match that shot.
That double was close by Jones, but it was the wrong choice again I think. Massive swing, 5 frames when it looked like it was going to be 3.
Great drama, Jones had to win that.
Jones has picked it up massively, maybe feeding off the crowd supporting him.
That black ball game 17th frame will go down in legend like Davis v Taylor 1985.
Entertaining frame, but reckless shot selection by both players surely
why in gods name did he play that double? It was a 3/10 shot
He will not sleep great after that frame. He has put up a fight though
Unmissable for a pro
That will sting Jak there that last frame huge two frame swing .Terrible risky shot .
Jones has played a lot of wrong shots in my opinion. And he's been lucky… so far.
I love Virgo but it's a wonder ref hasn't said stop f**king shouting John. Great end of frame this .
Wilson doesn’t deserve this frame
Drama now
What a great frame!
Thank #### John and Shaun hopefully won't be on commentary tomorrow.
Agree. Long straight yellow, roll it over the pocket. No absolutely melt it at the pocket.
I hope Virgo has taken his blood pressure meds
Legend for me. Kyren looking nervous. That was a wild attempt on the pink.
lads giving out about Virgo: Don’t watch on BBC.
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.
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.
