Snooker World Championship

Great session of snooker. Disappointing to see the loathsome slug Higgins playing well, but hopefully that will inspire Trump on.

Interesting he never mentioned this in the years he won it.

In fairness he wasn't as fat or old then. He doesn't exactly look the fittest of guys.

Why's he always sticking his tongue out?

Doesn't like the taste of it. ?

Come on Judd!

[simoid]

Many of the crowd there ironically...!? Judging by the grins.

You'd think with the prize money trump could find a shirt that fits properly.

I think 100 hundreds is on the cards for the 1st time.

It's great to watch. I do like a bit of snooker showboating.

No, but he does look like he shaved all his hair off then changed his mind and glued it back on.

Bit late posting this (as it was from the afternoon mid interval session) but the BBC did two very nice pieces earlier on about Leo Scullion the match ref & another following up on Tony Foulds after the memorial campaign and being invited to the Crucible this year as a guest of honour

Better than it used to be

Have just seen this quote on youtube about Rob Walker

"Always liked Rob Walker. He straddles that fine line between cocaine addict and strait-jacketed lunatic so wonderfully."

Made me laugh anyway.

Trump is playing insanely well.

Hopefully will have a 11-6 lead overnight at a minimum

Hope so and I hope he keeps turning the screw.

What does he do for the other 50 weeks of the year?

I’m guessing the not straight-jacketed part?

[simoid]

Kick for John. Shame

He’ll come back fo’ sho but Judd seems very mature. Loved that he won the frame after refusing the long yellow(?) down the cush.

I hope not, I fondly remember the days of the midnight final and the last few years it's been all done at a very respectable hour. They're both high calibre players, I hope Higgins has a good night's rest and comes on strong tomorrow to make a match of it. I'm not partial either way, I can't get behind Higgins for all those reasons and can't get behind trump snd his oddball get up; so lets have a high quality match finishing after midnight please. This rate, it'll be over by tea time.

Some of us can’t last til midnight
