Snooker

[Deutsch Wolf]

Barold going to beat Williams very soon.

Ronnie looking on top vs Higgins.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Ronnie, Selby and Trump all out

Xintong vs Murphy
Higgins vs Robertson
Allen vs Hawkins
Yize vs Vafaei

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Allen beats Baz in a decider

 

[Del Woppio]

There really has been some cracking matches this year

 

[Del Woppio]

I wish these pair would hurry up, I'm knackered

 

[Del Woppio]

Robbo's messed up some right chances in this last couple of hours, cracking entertainment again though. Higgins really is such a scrapper

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Yeah, you just can't shake Higgins off. It's not pretty but you have to respect it.

Robbo's Crucible record is shite. Hasn't made the one table set up since 2014, Alan McManus (who finished playing five years ago and was last a top 16 player nearly 20 years ago) has made it more recently than that. He also had the easiest run to a World title in the history of the game:

Fergal O'Brien
Martin Gould (who he only just beat, 13-12)
Steve Davis (at the age of 52, and he never played another match at The Crucible again)
Ali Carter
Graeme Dott

 

[Del Woppio]

Wu Yize looks a bag of nerves kid is just a joy to watch

 

[sycophantia]

Fabulous come back by Allen.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Some frame this.

Hasn't been a pot for nearly 40 minutes.

 

[BillyDee]

I've played on pub tables like that

 

[sycophantia]

Never seen a frame like this before.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Officially the longest Crucible frame ever now. Still not quite done yet, Allen needs a snooker

Edit: Wu flukes the brown and Allen plays on needing three snookers

Edit2: Then Wu inadvertently knocks the black in! We're still going, one snooker needed

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

It's *finally* over. 1hr 40 mins

 

[Del Woppio]

Well that was absolutely ridiculous but at the same time really quite captivating. Never in my life did I think I'd ever see a frame of snooker longer than a football match!
