I didn't catch any of Ronnie's game today sadly - is his long potting any better than it has been earlier in the week? That was the only thing I could really see missing from his game, although occasionally the odd lapse in concentration let him down.

Judd on a hell of a comeback right now too, fascinating stuff to watch. The final session should be very interesting indeed.

Ya tomorrows session should be interesting between those two. Both showed bad form in different sessions today, so I'm sure they'll concentrate on eliminating that before then. Could be some cracking snooker. I have €15 on Murphy @ 7/4 to beat Trump so this evenings session hurt me , but the session in line for tomorrow should make up for that

And I'll be sitting in the Crucible watching the last two sessions of that match (Friday night and Saturday @ 2.30pm).

Hard to call between Judd and Shaun, but I reckon either opponent should make a great match

I'm genuinely jealous! I'd love to see Ronnie play at a world championship. Not that he's through yet, but touch wood

Ronnie is hitting the ball so well, his scoring is relentless and his long potting which was missing in his first two matches has returned.

Bingham hasn't really done a lot wrong O'Sullivan has simply been majestic.

11-1 at the interval.


Ding under pressure and at 11-7 down to Hawkins really needs to do something quick.

Glenman

Hawkins now 12-7 up on Ding. Shock definitely on the cards

"I'm sticking by Ding. If you look at the draw it looks like he's going to have to break his legs not to get to the final," Hendry told BBC Sport.

haha so premature his record at the crucible is so poor for a guy so lauded

No shock here I predicted Hawkins to win, but had the score at 13-11. A very underrated player is Hawkins and would be the pick to come through against Walden or White.

Unlucky with your bet.....

Ronnie next frame the 14th ,I have placed 500 at 1/2. its free money here stuart wants to get the cab home,like taking candy from a baby this should be"

€500 that's sore

Glenman

Comeback is on, Bingham takes the last two frames to make it 12-3. I'm sure Ronnie will hope to win this one to get the evening off. He's in the balls at the moment!

zack01

12-4 Ronnie and they come back out tonight.

seanhynes

painful. taking a break now was so 100pcent sure of it too:(

Glenman

Well done Bingham, won the last three frames to make it 12-4 and bring it into this evening's session.

Delighted for Hawkins.. he has been looking great during the tournament.

Also won €70 as a result, but happy for him too :-)

If Ronnie makes the final it could be the most one sided World Final ever. Can't see Hawkins or Walden/White giving him a close game which is disappointing.

I've barely got to watch any of the World Championship this year....very disappointing. Have told people i'm unavailable this weekend though, so at least I will get the last couple of days of it

Great stuff here between Murphy and Trump.

Trump threw that last frame away, lost his nerve badly on that easy pink.

This could be the easiest Word Championship Ronnie will ever have, I can't see Murphy or Trump beating him in the Semi finals and who ever he meets in the final I think he'll blow them away completely.

Same was said when Davis played Taylor in '85 and I lost a right few bob when underdog Dott beat Ronnie in the semis in '06

Upsets are always possible alright.

12 all in the Trump - Murphy game at the moment. This frame is a very cagey affair as you'd expect, a lot of safety play.
Impossible to call who will win it.

Turning into a classic alright. Hard to call it, I'd say Trump will take more risks, could leave an opening or two for Murphy if he misses any.

I'm even nervous just watching it. Probably cos I have a bet on Trump to win it out, but you can just feel the tension coming across on tv. Still hard to call

seanhynes

excellent entertainment this

Stevecw

That was great stuff, plus got the result I needed as an added bonus!

Best snooker I have seen in a long time, it had everything, safety, long potting, some water drinking, very very good match.

seanhynes

the 6/1 I took on Trump last week still alive and kicking,nice

eyeball kid

Nice one Trump. Bit of a classic alright. Murphy will be thinking how did he let that one get away from him when he was 6-2 up after the 1st session.

Great price boys, I honestly thought Murphy would beat him around the 13-11 mark but fair play to Trump he dug in well, the semi should be an absolute classic.

White really has crumbled under the pressure. Pity would love him to get through but looking very unlikely now.

Yesterday I picked O'Sullivan, Murphy, Walden & Hawkins to come through, 3 out of 4 ain't bad I suppose, i can't see beyond an O'Sullivan v Hawkins final, but if it was a Trump v Walden final that wouldn't be much of a shock either.

Really looking forward to the next few days and travelling back over on Sun to Sheffield.

zack01

Oh and what a surprise Ronnie talking about retiring again, perhaps he's trying to playing mind games with Trump before their match ??
