    Agreed. Cheats in all sports should get lifetime bans, no second chances. Conor Benn, Jannick Sinner, Andy Jenkins etc.

    If he wins the match (looking likely) and tournament it will leave a sour taste for a lot of snooker and sports fans.

    Well, he's losing to a better player right now. But the precedent has been set re match fixing and he's been allowed back on tour.

    Trump vs Williams is a good tactical battle.

    Ronnie should retire after this Semi. I don't want him to make a fool of himself like Steve Davis and Jimmy White.

    And he's won each of the triple crown events in that time

    I'm not disputing that. I just think I might be right this time. He'll pick up a Gibraltar Open and Shanghai Masters here and there if he carries on. I doubt he'll win another triple crown event. Trump, Allen, Xintong and even some of the diddly donks can beat him now.

    Ronnie beaten with a session to spare. It should be a good final!

    Btw I forgot to say well done to Williams, for absolutely thrashing Higgins.
    Well it was 13-12 actually, but you know what I mean lol.
    Now its an all lefty scrap with him and Judd, and I'm really enjoying it. And I hope the winner of this match, wins the Final.
    Also, I had no idea the Chinese player was on the blacklist of players, who are accused of betting scandals. :eek:

    Ronnie isn't a fool for reaching the last 4, which only 3 others can say they did. The fools are those who last May bought tickets for tomorrow expecting to see some frames and now they have to get a refund and make other plans.

    Trump doing to Williams what Higgins did. Big lead only needing one frame and the gap starts closing.
