    Well done Si. He deserves at least a decider. We deserve a decider. Let's hope we get one.

    I don't know why people get tattoos. Especially tattoos like that, so prominent. You've to live with looking at that 💩 for the rest of your life.

    Agreed and people put thought into getting them. The odd small neat nice meaningful tattoo- I understand- but Brecel looks like how my homework book used to look at school loads of scribbles

    Guff about stuff, and stuff about guff.

    Big moment coming up if Si plays this red down the cushion.

    Such a contrast in emotions for both players. Terrific for Brecel, absolutely gut wrenching for Si.

    Gutted for Si. Fair play to Brecel. Hopefully Allen comes through the other semi.

    Hope it positively affects Si. Fair play to Brecel - didnt think he had it in him.

    Some great snooker over those sessions and some hard to watch moments.

    WD Luca !!

    I give him a better chance of beating Selby in final, than what I'd have given Si

    he don't care about being far behind, and pressure doesn't seem to affect him too much

    great pot on last red to virtually clinch it 🙂

    Si very unlucky on same red shot previous - just missed a bigger contact on black - hit it thicker and red would've dropped. small margins

    hon Mark Allen !!

    He’s not likely to feel more pressure than he did in that match so hopefully that will help him cope better in the future.

    I don't think I've ever felt as bad for a player losing a match. Hopefully he comes back stronger for this experience.

    John Parrot’s openness about his ignorance of the lower ranked players and smaller tournaments is hilarious. How can you be a paid pundit and go on TV and say you’ve never even heard of these players. Theres only 128 players to keep track of, not that difficult?

    I can’t see Brecel’s fly by the seat your pants style working against Selby, or Allen

    it's no secret that JP watches very little snooker - I'd say Ken don't watch much more

    Parrot's prolly playing golf every day - when Fouldsy , Angles and Jimmy are practicing or watching the snooker - proper snooker men them, great analysts/pundits too

    As good as Brecel was, coming back from 14-5 down just doesn't happen without your opponent falling apart.

    I agree I think Selby and Allen will be too savvy for Brecel, especially Selby, in no universe does Brecel come back like that against Selby.

    Gutted for Si he looked on the edge of tears when Rob Walker brought up about the missed green last night.

    Unbelievable semi final. Compared to the absolute drudgery of the other one, that was a delight. Simultaneously gutted for Si and delighted for Luca.

    Don't think Brecel stands a chance against either Selby or Allen in the final tbh.

    A delight? Si completely fell to pieces and looked no matter than a pub player 10 deep for the second half of the match. I thought it was fairly poor in terms of tension and entertainment. It was clear there was only going to be one winner from 11-14 tbh.
