    Wrong pairings in semi's. Such a shame, would have been an epic final with Ding and Shelby

    A Ding/Selby final two years in a row? Should be a good semi none-the-less.

    Amazing consistency from Barry.

    4 semis and a quarter the last 5 years including one final.

    Hope he beats Higgins.

    Maguire is offensively overweight. You're a professional sportsman have some pride. .

    You're easily offended ,In any case I would argue John Higgins or Mark Allen weigh more than Stephen Maguire

    I was surprised at how fat Mark Allen was, I've never seen a lot of him on telly. He was also wearing very loose trousers, his next step is clown trousers.

    Maguire looks the most overweight to me. Higgins really let himself go though. I recall an interview where when asked why he didn't take up fitness like Ronnie he replied 'I canne be bothered'. If I had his money I would would have my own private gym.

    Ding has shed a good few pounds of late, and you could argue it has helped his game.

    I dunno It would be more compelling if Higgins won and then Ding beats Higgins in the Final

    Whatever about selby, its the relentless bores who'll be chugging on about John Higgins for the next few days that seriously get on my wick. This thread is pretty much a no go area at this stage, enjoy the rest of the show folks, see you on the other side!

    Stephen Lee was the worst offender and a disgrace to the game.

    Permabear, am I right in saying that you live in the States, or am I thinking of someone else? If so where do you watch the snooker? Do you have a VPN?

    Adding the red and black break count after 2 balls potted is ridiculous. Back in the day a break would be at 60 odd before they added that caption.

    To be fair, it's more than likely what people want. Build up potential excitement from the start.

    Probably would but I'm a big fan of the Hawk so I'd like to see him make another final.
