What a kick that was.
Awful! The poor sod!

Really pleased that he went through. To lose after that would have been really tough. He's looking a fair outside bet now.

Have always liked Fu. Hoping for him, Ding, Maguire and Wilson to make the semis.

They will all lose.

Just hoping that O'Sullivan and Selby get knocked out really.

Would be nice to see Ding finally realise his potential.

Stop going on about the bloody footballers in the crowd!

Impressive from Ding so far tonight.

Good stuff from Hector Salamanca's favourite player this evening.

I've warmed to Ronnie having found out that he's a Leftie. Still supporting Ding though. Be a lovely tribute to Chuck Berry if he could win it.

I see Nicko McBrain, Iron Maiden's drummer, has one of the best seats in the house tonight. He's a big snooker fan apparently.

This final isn't going as I thought it would. Selby has been very below par and Higgins is making the most of it. I sense a Selby comeback tomorrow.

Really got drawn into the snooker, might have something to do with the enormous pile of coursework I have to mark.

Is it my mind playing tricks or is there always a guy in a Coventry shirt in the front row at the final?

Nope, you're right, he's there every year. He's made it to so many finals he's now Coventry's greatest ever sportsman.

He's always there. He proposed to his girlfriend there, never misses a session and has a hundred different Coventry shirts.

He also goes to every England tournament.

I don't watch it religiously but when I switched it on tonight I saw him and something clicked.
Even though your first link doesn't work!

What was with those bloody "Ton Up" signs that people were waving in the crowd? It's like one-day cricket with its 4s and 6s and big fingers. Why can't people just watch sport any more? Why the props? Are we all supposed to be doing this now? If so I'm going to knock up a batch of "stray pass" signs and make my fortune.
