What a miserable so and so. Bingham's a credit to the game. Thought I wouldn't give a stuff with Ronnie being out but Bingham having a craic with crowd is a breath of fresh air.
I like Selby, he's a proper battler. Bingham playing amazingly well though. After seeing Kyren at last year's final though, I'm rooting for him to win. He really is a lovely guy.
What about Steve “interesting” Davies Jimmy “whirlwind” White Or Ray “Dracula Reardon do they still play. I haven’t really watched any snooker since the ‘80’s
I was intrigued by the referee's warning to Selby over slow play. Turns out he was bang right though, according to the WPBSA rules: 3. Time Wasting (a) In the event of a player taking an abnormal amount of time over a stroke, or the selection of a stroke, the referee shall Warn the player that in the event of any further Time Wasting during the game, the frame will be awarded to their opponent. (b) If the referee has Warned the player for Time Wasting under (a) above, in the event of any further Time Wasting by that player, the referee shall award the frame to their opponent. (c) If a referee has awarded a frame to a player’s opponent for Time Wasting, in the event of any further Time Wasting by the player concerned, the referee shall, each time thereafter, award a frame to the player’s opponent. Interesting that there is no time definition - the referee seems to have wide discretion regarding the player's conduct. I could find nothing in the rules though about a player sitting there with a face like a smacked arse!
Good comeback by Murphy earlier. We've got two decent semi-finals to conclude today. I wouldn't mind the winner coming from the Murphy/Wilson game, they've played the best snooker so far imho
