Think that's a bit harsh on Murphy tbh- in your post you bemoan a lack of characters yet when a pro engages with the public to make himself more personable you say he should be practicing instead! I'm sure he practices enough anyway

My prediction for this afternoon's match: Selby 6 - O'Sullivan 3.

You'd fancy Selby using both their first round performances as a guide, however for the hell of it I'll go 6-4 to the Rocket.

Ronnie looks to be hitting form at the right time here. Looks very relaxed.

School has kicked out early today hasn't it ?
Sorry, of course, we should be supporting a guy who was filmed agreeing to throw frames and/or matches for cash. My apologies.

70 Break from Selbo to start then Ronnie clears up with a break of 73 to win. Genuis

Ronnie says he lacks confidence and isn't playing his best

That final clearance was outstanding.

Oh Ronnie. He could win his 20th world title and he'd still find fault with his game.

A guy who was cleared of the charges by an independent panel. Now if you want to act like a kid and believe the papers over the judges fair enough but you will find you are on your own. The rest of us in here accept the result and have moved on.

You will be telling us Andy Murray wore an Ecuador shirt next. Move on. It's over and he was found innocent. That is a fact. You weren't in the court room, they were.

Really puzzling performance- played great to beat the defending champion and started like a house on fire with a ton tonight. From then on though, garbage...

Not sure if this has been mentioned but the BBC have created an original film for iPlayer about 80s snooker called The Rack Pack.

Barry Hawkins was striking the cue ball great tonight. One of the commentators on EuroSport rightly said, best he's played in a long while.

Having said that, I can't see him beating Robertson or Trump in the Semi Finals.

Now Trump's just beaten Robbo's 139 from earlier with a 140 total clearance. Awesome stuff.

Judd's tournament? Looking good. Not going to lie.. glad Neil won't be in the final. He's had his fair share of success recently.

Bloody hell Trump compiles another total clearance of 129 to win the decider. Game of the season, undoubtedly.

So you ever post anything constructive ( as per DS rules ? ). I'm guessing you're a youngster but why all the hatred in your posts ? Neil Robertson is an outstanding ambassador for the game. Why not post "Well done Judd, great performance" ?

Not seen much this week due to having a proper job unlike some but it's been a cracking Masters hasn't it

I missed first 8 frames of this. Frames i did see were incredible. That opening red was just unbelievable. Just shows how well neil is playing because judd had play his very best and it still went to a decider. He has to win the tournament now after that performance.
