snooker world championship final

(still Williams-Higgins feels like I'm watching a forgettable 2008 semis or something. Except they're even uglier)

well well that was frame ball, tough red to the middle. I'd fancy John to clear up from here.

Terrific Brown to yellow from John, forcing position there.

You are John fucking Virgo and I claim my 5 quid

Fantastic clearance - this could still be a classic final: 15-12

Mark Williams looks like he's going to have a cardiac arrest tonight.

LOL why are you attacking me :-)

Sorry, just banter :) Love your commentary, am watching meself

cool, promise I won't go "where is the cue ball going?" in CAPS as if I'm shouting.

what a pink to the middle from Williams, just pulled it out of the fire to try and make something happen for him tonight.

47 break, didn't get anything from the split - good safety...he'll need more of that to get to the finish line.

Higgins has left a tough red

misses it!

not floating in atm. Feeling for Williams, he is playing quite well and not doing a lot wrong.

great shot from green to the bunch of reds - should clear up, again.

great recovery shot from green to the final red.

Astonishing: 15-13

Terrific (3-ball) plant from Higgins, now behind the green. On top of this safety exchange

51 break from Higgins and puts the brown safe.

god this is a tough red - and misses it. Higgins now to win this

This is more impressive than Williams winning the first four frames in the afternoon session. Williams had actually a good couple of breaks.

Mid-session often stops this so we'll see. Should be good.

Such a classic crucible comeback, its what you get in this sport you don't get anywhere else. So many SF and Fs where there was no way back and then...the hunter often becomes the hunted.

higgins comeback on a human face forever

This is huge now..Williams on 40, pack split, should win.

oh dear..

Terrific opener from John, just fearing the worst now.

15-15

I think that's such a key frame. When Williams allowed John in the prev times there were awkward positions or not quite right splits. That chance was really, really good.

Not quite the cue ball control under the severest of pressures.

At the next another good chance for Williams. Its just heartbreaking to watch, can he break this cycle of defeat?

Another 41 break, he is not over the line..

We haven't had much safety at all so far

fucking hell man get over the line.

finally! Williams back in front

Terrific long pot at the next from Williams

damn

Another terrific long pot but now its a tough pink

lots of cold blooded potting here

had to play it cool after that - this is so good. One frame away now.

fuck me that pink

one pot from the fucking world title - and John has no obstacles to the clearance.

holy fuck

blimey

FUCK OFF

Unbelievable

this fucking break

Meh

lol

it WAS a classic final - one of the best of recent times surely

Had a crush on Hazel some 15 years ago, I dare to admit
