    Would have taken the one to left middle there.

    Oh man Wilson should have gone for the red by the middle pocket, he had the angle to come back down for the black.

    Butchered attempt at the 147 by Wilson. Probably won't ever see a better chance, everything laid out for him. He kind of found himself there by accident than by design anyway.

    Fouldsy was implying the red to left middle was too tight/wrong angle - something like that - to pot it with the required pace to get back down for black,,

    looked the shot to me going by my view of the screen

    Are all the ex players on Eurosport just spoofers?

    Fouldsy knows his stuff tbf

    twice I saw him use the 'white line on screen' during live play (must be a new thing) in the Higgins' match, and both times he called it right 👍️

    wouldn't call him a spoofer - he's forgotten more about snooker than most of us will never know 😂

    I'd consider him to be one of the top commentators.

    There was a nice little mini-docu on Doug Wood there in one of the intervals

    Pity the BBC don't use the proper tune anymore though, what they have now is complete crap.

    He did the definitive 80s darts theme too 😃

    Fingal County Council are certainly not competent to be making decisions about the most important piece of infrastructure on the island. They need to stick to badly designed cycle lanes and deciding on whether Mrs Murphy can have her kitchen extension.

    Can Stuart show Kyren how a 147 should be done? Onto the 11th black at the moment....

    The first time I heard Joe Perry commentating, not knowing who it was, I was sure it was Judd Trump in the commentary box. You can imagine my confusion then in a later match when Perry was commenting on a Judd Trump match.

    Wilson has a weak mentality. Himself and Lisowski always bottle it when it matters.

    Right on cue, he bottles a good chance.

    Hendry is right. Noppon should have taken that tough red there.

    Saengkham just missed out on a 147 there as well. Could have had 2 maximums in the same session.

    I thought I was a reasonably polite, civilized person until I saw Noppon shake Higgins' hand for 15 seconds and bow to him 8 times. Fairly sure he would have bowed to every single person in the Crucible if there wasn't another match on. What a man.

    Guess he had to, to make up for yesterday's 'body check' at end of earlier session, perhaps 😂 that was funny - with Noppon celebrating as he got out of session 1 at 4 apiece 😁 giving it large he was, and he accidentally bumped into Higgins after his saluting the crowd antics 🤗

    another one for the highlight reel that

    I think the ‘Wilting Warrior’ made it easy for Bingham. A run of simple shots missed for that level.Unforgivable to happen so frequently.

    I think Wilson needs to take a leaf out of Bingham’s book. Just enjoy it for what it is. Obviously there is some tension.

    However Wilson gets too emotional.

    All that talking to himself etc. Looked on the verge of tears. Very difficult to play snooker under pressure as it is. But he ends up sabotaging himself IMO.

    Also amuses me how Bingham not as naturally gifted as many top players seems to love those long crucible matches. While others crumble under the weight of it all.

    Guff about stuff, and stuff about guff.

    No harm to see Wilson out - that preshot routine he does is annoying,,,

    would like to see McGill beat Trump tonight, but the deficit looks too much,,,

    hopefully Jack/Robbo match goes close - for the entertainment value,,, would like to see Lisowski win, but hard to see him advance past QF if he does

    Getting withdrawal symptoms here, no more snooker until 7pm...

    Yeah I agree about Bingham. I think his game and mentality are suited to the longer, higher pressure matches, usually deals with it pretty well. Absolutely strolled to a Masters win 3 or 4 years ago, by just going out and enjoying himself, takes the pressure off.

    What a terrible shot from Lisowski, you just can't do that at this level, no pressure on that safety at all and he messes it up and hands the frame to Robertson.

    The thing with Lisowski is that a terrible shot is never far away, still favor Robbo to win this.
