2 players with zero confidence

It's pressure, not lack of confidence.

Two young players, at 16-16 in the world championship semi-final.

Wilson is the favourite cause of the points lead, but it's still tough to call.

Qston · « **Reply #9282 on:** August 14, 2020, 06:28:18 pm »

With the positioning of the brown and black it could be each ball is effectively a black ball game

Oh wow!!

TheShanklyGates · « **Reply #9284 on:** August 14, 2020, 06:33:38 pm »

What a fluke. Wow.

gazzalfc · « **Reply #9285 on:** August 14, 2020, 06:34:30 pm »

Looks like he was going to burst into tears there

voodoo ray · « **Reply #9286 on:** August 14, 2020, 06:34:51 pm »

so obviously there's a fluke involved now too.

kwilson needs to get a grip. not his fault he fluked it.

I've not watched any of this years stuff, but who is this commentating alongside Hendry? He's awful.

What a frame of snooker

voodoo ray · « **Reply #9292 on:** August 14, 2020, 06:40:44 pm »

kwilson scrapes through. what a mad frame that was.

TheShanklyGates · « **Reply #9293 on:** August 14, 2020, 06:40:58 pm »

Well played Kyren Wilson. A shame it ended on a fluke but I guess it's fitting that in the end that was all that could separate them.

Libertine · « **Reply #9294 on:** August 14, 2020, 06:41:34 pm »

Astonishing game and frame.

Imagine that with a crowd in there....

Just trying to build drama when he didn't need to. The frame spoke for itself.

Aye remember him, he was crap. Was obsessed with the brown pocket.

The final frame is utter nuts...It's like fucking appalled is playing with a golf club.

poor mcgill. fuck doing an interview straight away after that!

gazzalfc · « **Reply #9300 on:** August 14, 2020, 06:43:59 pm »

What a horrible question to put to him. Might as well shoot him in the head while he's at it

Red-Soldier · « **Reply #9301 on:** August 14, 2020, 06:44:31 pm »

Really unlucky on McGill there. Cruel run of the balls in the final frame. Thought he played the better of the two today.

Two warriors there, and the ginger warrior lost which is the right result.

Fordy · « **Reply #9304 on:** August 14, 2020, 06:49:21 pm »

Felt for McGill then. He should've won that last frame though. Snookered himself behind the pink.

McGill played really well that session.

You're spot on for once there Fordy

It was like watching fucking appalled crumble if approached by Megan Fox and Scarlett Johansson for a three some.

No hanging in glory for him.

O'Sullivan & Selby will struggle to live up to that, I think Selby will get through 17-15, unless O'Sullivan can get his long game (and his safety game) together.

Excellent start from Ronnie. By far the best he's looked all match this.

He is the Mourinho of snooker. Even when he tries to be attacking you can tell it pains him to do it and ends up back in a grim safety battle

TheShanklyGates · « **Reply #9317 on:** August 14, 2020, 07:58:39 pm »

That in-off from Ronnie has completely shifted the momentum of this match.

He's knocking in some brilliant pots but also playing some absolutely ridiculous shots that are going to cost him this frame. Not good.
