O'Sullivan just got another 147. Most talented sportsman that ever lived in my opinion. But I am a snooker fanatic, so...

Ronnie's had a bitch about a ref.

Not sure how he can criticise her for a potential flaw in the table.

Had she not ironed it properly?

Well the colour kept rolling a touch when she re-spotted it, so a tiny divot in the cloth. 

Maybe she'd done a bit of modelling in a Tony Knowles style photo shoot, and a nip had left an impression.

Always made me wonder why a black self-adhesive spot was used. I get that any movement of the baize would alter the positioning of the colour-spots and so they can be peeled off and repositioned but the two tables at the Crucible are re-covered 11 times over the course of the championship. They could be felt-tipped on so balls can’t roll off.

Are those spots still used on pub pool tables etc?

Would peel off after a while, but not before getting worn and going crinkly.

Marker pen

 

Binghams head must be in bits there. 

Every time he's played a sublime shot in the last 20 mins, he's followed it with something either shit or completely ridiculous 

Looking like the "cottage burner" will get through.

Great watch this Masters final. Murphy on fire at 5-2.

Superb from Shaun Murphy. Well deserved.

Fucking hell.

 

Wonder if he took ages deciding which one to go for?

Brown or pink?

Judd Trump playing the best snooker I’ve ever seen here.

Not sure how I feel about lads that are still in the tournament doing commentary/punditry on other games.

Seemed a bizarre situation to me last night when Judd Trump won his game then found himself being "interviewed" by Sean Murphy in the studio right after it, who he will be playing in the next round. 

Just find it a bit strange 

What a maximum by Allen.

Shame that top quarter is absolute trash

Ronnie or Si to save snooker

Fucking hell, Luca Brucel tonight. As good as Trump the other night. Can’t help but think one of the Chinese players might win this year. Can’t remember their names though. Ding is the only one that sticks in my head.

Way the draw has gone that looked the most dangerous match for him all tournament - sure he'll go and muck up now against someone easier now I've said that, but despite whooping him this year Murphy has had a habit of pulling out unplayable performances against Trump in the past.

Murphy nearly did it again then, lucky he didn't start like that, catch him on the wrong streak and he can knock anyone out

Cracking match between Higgins and Williams. 8-8 going into tomorrow mornings session.
