Fook, didn't see that coming
Fair play to young Humphries hopefully gives Smith a run for his money..


Could we have Dolan/Aspinall or Humphries in the final ??!!

retalivity

Humphries, Smith, Dolan or Aspinall to be in the final!

Itssoeasy

Fair play to rob cross who unlike James wade earlier was gracious in defeat.

Snipe23

What a great match well done Luke humphries, cross is a gent took his beating like a man true pro.

Rikand

Only 4 seeds remaining

The more I saw of Cross the last 12 months the more I liked him, seemed down to earth and a genuinely decent bloke.

Hope he comes back strong in 2019

Off he goes now to wire up the new gaff, top man !

Mr. Guappa

Top class from Cross in the post match interview.

blackcard

To be honest, I took a dislike to Cross as I thought he played with a smirk on his face. But I was wrong and he showed class in defeat

Rikand

Rob Cross, what a gent

thelad95

Cross is a proper gent and will forever hold a special place in my heart for socking it to Phil Taylor last year on what was supposed to be his farewell victory lap.

Will I Am Not

Cross has always come across as a proper, decent lad. I don’t know where people get the dislike from, only ever see it online.

Tough luck on Peterson today. He won 16 legs,more than anyone else of the 12 players in action,led 2-0 in sets and 8-1 in legs and put 3 on wire of x12 for 3-0. Humphries won 12-5 in the last 17 legs after gifting Cross the 2nd set:eek: Enjoying this year more than some others. The new lads have given it a lift and glad it didn't turn into a premier league type shootout of the top 8.

Think he only missed 2 shots at double in those first 2 sets, some going. Petersen that is

Humphries played fantastic and deserved his win. To do that at 23 is crazy.

Cross put up a great defence of his title after a pig of a year. Showed a lot of class coming out for that interview when he must have been crushed inside. No way Taylor or Anderson would have done that.

Nobodies, they have upstaged a lot of ranked players along the way, great to see young blood making a name for themselves this year with only 4 or 5 players in the top 32 that are 28 or younger.

Brendan Dolan v Mensor Suljovic in the Premier League. Yes!!

Honesty though I really couldn't give a **** about the PL, The world championship seems to be a mere qualifier for the unranked exhibition tour the last few years . that's all people talk about

The PL is a dull overrated exhibition tired novelty event

Never bother with it myself

Premier League is a load of exhibition ****e.

Grand Slam.
Grand Prix.

They are the 4 majors.

We agree on the Premier League, but I think the UK Open, Players Championship and European Championship all have cases to be considered 'majors'. As much of a case as the Grand Prix anyway.

More recently the Grand Slam since its a ranking event now. These are week long tournaments with massive prize money.

The UK open an all the other weekend events are just ranking TV events.

They are all quality events to win.

Personally I’d put the Grand Prix ahead of them.

And I wish our tournament wasn’t double start as much as I enjoy something different.

Wasn’t the UK Open this year a major disaster

Had to look it up AJ

2018 Prize Money

Worlds - 400k
Matchplay - 115k
Grand Slam - 110k
Grand Prix - 100k

UK - 70k
Players - 100k
Euros - 100k

Thought my four would be clear on prize money to be honest but I still think the Grand Prix is rated higher surely....

Barry Hearn says every ranking TV tournament is a major which is ridiculous.
