World Snooker Championship 2017

I don't like Murphy at all, bit of a sneak, remember him snitching to the ref (allegedly) on Maguire so his opponent got docked a frame.

I feel as though everyone went to school with a Murphy.

 

Bit of a cocky twat. Like you say, a snitch and a goody two shoes.

Murphy has always denied this Used to see him in Wigston quite often seemed a very nice guy

You wouldn't admit it would you?, but the evidence is there that's why Maquire hasn't forgave him, the ref gave him permission to leave and it wasn't until Murphy went to the ref (after Maquire had left) that the tournament director was called, and there's other incidents of him snitching to teacher too, as well as stories of what a spoilt brat attitude he had even as a kid coming through the ranks.

Good standard being played on both tables tonight.

Eurosport on Tv, BBC Sport on Tablet, simple.

I don't like his shoes one bit - they're ridiculous and make him look fatter than he is!

Final sessions of Ding vs Liang and Allen vs Higgins are must watch, best matches of the tournament so far.

[isaidno]

Maguire through with a session to spare.

There's an article on BBC summing up the first week, and assessing the contenders- world number 1 and defending champion barely mentioned, bizarrely.

The sports news on 5Live yesterday reported O'Sullivan's progression as "remained on course of a 6th world title". Which I found really weird wording as it made it sound a forgone conclusion when we're only at the quarter final stage and he's in the same half as the defending champion and world number 1, and last years losing finalist. Even that article talks like he'll brush aside Ding whilst the only mention Selby gets makes it sound like his second round opponent is really difficult. The Ronnie love in pisses me off at times. Yes he's a fantastically gifted player, and on his day he's the best there is, but he's not always on it. The ways he spoken about is like he wins everything every year, which he doesn't so he's clearly not as dominant as the media make out.

It's really strange, he's a double world champion and current world number 1! Not to mention his win in the UK championship over O'Sullivan. Oh well, we're pretty used to it, as City fans. Just makes it even better when he beats him.

Selby through 13-6 against Xiao

[isaidno]

I think It's the most open championship I can remember this year.

[Hirsty The Blue 94]

Had a tenner E/W on Barry Hawkins before the tournament at 16/1. Looks to have the best run through to the final but we will see. Been enjoying watching a lot of it this year.

[kingfox]

Absolute twitch fest between Fu & Robertson, Selby will have easy work against either at this rate.

[isaidno]

It's gone mega scrappy now

[Ian W LCFC]

Massive reaction from Robertson after winning that frame, don't see that too often!

Selby has a way of making any match look difficult

[DJ Barry Hammond]

 

Neither of them seem to want to win this... makes it a fascinating watch!

[kingfox]

Talk about drama, the most entertaining shitfest I've seen.

[kingfox]

One of the most dramatic matches I've ever seen.

 

Off to see Hawkins vs Maguire tomorrow.

[lcfcben76]

Don't usually watch a great deal of this usually but nowadays I find myself hooked as soon as I get in from work, the drama in the Fu match tonight was incredible 

[Bert]

Looking forward to hearing Kingfox's update on the Selby game today even though he was watching the other table. Selby would've been very disappointed with anything less than 6-2 after his flying start. Gives him a great cushion.
