C'mon Stevey Davis. You can beat that Scottish oik.

I don't think this morning's denouement in the Davis/Higgins match is on BBC2 other than digitally - possibly just as well as otherwise the viewing figures will probably be three or four times what the final gets

That will do more for snooker's popularity than Barry bleedin' Hearn ever will

Steve Davis! What a legend. Knocks out the monochrome Higgins. 13 - 11. Who said over 50s can't play professional sport?

Just watching a bit of O'Sullivan vs Williams, and was thinking how uncomfortable it would be for the players, having to sit down right next to each other. I don't think I've seen that before, but I'm not able to watch much snooker anyway, so I might've just missed it...

Players generally sit together in tournaments. When they get down to a single table then they'll sit separately.

Aussie Robertson making a comeback against Gould. Individual frame scores seem a bit screwed up.
Really disappointed with the press coverage
Robertson has a realistic chance of being the first Aussie finalist in years and yet there is ZERO coverage in the OZ papers I've seen plus The Times is only interested in discussing whether the grossly overrated O'Sullivan will retire for the 32nd time
And they wonder why the sport is struggling for mainstram acceptance

Actually, I have seen a couple of articles in the Sydney Morning Herald about Robertson, so there is some coverage out there, but not nearly as much as I would have hoped.
There have been a number of articles in the past couple of years ago declaring him the Tiger Woods of golf
IMO, he has more in common with Greg Norman

Shame Robertson had to resort to gamesmanship against Gould mind. Hoping Selby makes a comeback against Dott.

Selby getting within one frame then losing the last 3 of the session. Grrr. 14-10 in that game.
Robertson through fairly comfortably. There were comments about how the final might now be shown live in Australia in this:

For a while there, I thought he was that arsehole Quentin Hann (?)
Seems like a decent fella with unbelievable potting skills and a dodgy 'do
