Wow. Brilliant from O'Sullivan. Even for Higgins that's a long way back.

Tuned in for a cheeky few minutes and watched higgins break off and OSullivan clear up in the final frame. Easy game, snooker.
Ronnie is the absolute best snooker player ever.
He manages to make every shot look effortless and doesnt shirk frim a challenge.

That last frame. You can't play snooker better than that. The way he screws through the reds when playing into them - it's not luck that he has a pot on afterwards. He virtually never stops wrong side of the blue. It looks easy, which is crazy given how bloody difficult it is.
Sometimes his long game isn't the best. When that's firing, he's virtually unplayable.

Williams playing superb snooker

15-16. Williams deserves to win, he's been incredible today.
Pretty amazing comeback from 7 down.

What a final frame, what a match. Sad for Williams but we have half a Trump O'Sullivan shootout on the cards

back on the other side
yes...though he also looks so twitchy with cleaning the balls, picking flecks off the table, complaining about people moving, nail biting, leaving the auditorium etc
he's always got his ticks, but maybe i havent seen him for a while but does seem on edge
anyhow final is on!!

Yipchaa!
I've always wondered just how much controversy there is in terms of officiating, compared to other sports where there can be a lot of debate about over the line or not, fouls, etc.
Only thing I can think of outside of very unusual circumstances would be the 'miss' rule, but even then it feels like actual controversies around that don't come up that often?
