If it was a Martin Gould 13 that took you round all parts of the table that's still something to be proud of.

A "Martin Gould 13" isn't something to do with noncing is it?
Igor's made me wary.
It looked a solid 35 at the very least.
I played quite a bit as a kid and got a fair few 40s, but at that stage you need to be able to open up packs of reds which is fucking hard.
Selby’s sessions really do take forever. It’s quite impressive how consistently dull and to type he is. And he’s probably going to win this thing. Against Anthony McGill. 😂
I should've been more careful there. United on one screen and Selby on the other is sedative enough to take down an elephant.
I'd consider him so. Gets up and down about four times before playing a shot.
Also has stupid fucking hair and is Australian. Not sure he has any redeeming qualities.
As Michael Sheen has just mentioned, Robertson isn't anywhere near this slow normally. Selby is just a horrible, horrible player to both watch and play against. Bloody effective though.
Is Robertson ever going to embrace the fact that he's ginger, or is he going to carry on having this hair into his 40s?
McGill's impassive middle distance stare after Maflin fluked that pink in was something else.
My father was into snooker heavy. I never understood the watching interest but now he has gone, im more interested in it now too.
He always used to tell of a game where he stayed up late into the early morning to watch a player know as The Grinder (could be the wrong name). He used to take an age to take his shots and grind down his opponent.
Cliff Thorburn.
He'd be banned nowadays.
Trump out. The dickhead.
Good. Don't mind who wins it from here to be fair.
And Ronnie pulls it back to 8-8 against Williams. Caught glimpses and he looked as focused as he has so far.
Selby will no doubt break him should he get through.
What was the ref deliberating over in the Williams / O'Sullivan match there? I don't understand what was going on.
Did O'Sullivan just change the ref's mind there?
Christ he missed the blue.
Remember that foul Williams admitted to a few minutes ago...
That free ball decision was very tough.
Ronnie's missed blue was so reminiscent of the pink he spaffed in the final against Selby back in 2014.
Could technology not be used there at that level?
Ronnie is bang on about Selby there. When the man is in form (which he appears to be) he's is a machine.
Curious to know what the odds are. Might be worth a cheeky bet.
EDIT: 3 runs at that.

Probably.
I think it was the right call. It didn't look to be a dead straight line through those balls. It's a brutal rule.
Scholesy labouring his way into the semi is mad. Hopefully he doesn't get completely mullered by Wilson if he gets there.
Maflin was 7-1 down in this. He'll likely still lose but going down fighting.
Looks like double your money at least on Selby, with Ronnie favourite at 1.5 ish.
Can't help but feel Selby will now wipe the floor with all before him. Unless Ronnie turns up in a great mood.
O'Sullivan has the don't give a fuck mentality to not be bothered by being ground down. Obviously that can go one of two ways. I don't usually hope he does well, but I hope he turns up in final session mode from the off and just fucks him up. No time for Selby whatsoever.
I'd love O'Sullivan to win as the Selby's and McGill's of this world will be the death of this tournament, but I just can't see it.
You aright there Don?
Didn't work, was just a load of rocket emojis, top final frame drama and decent interview. Mon lad.
So Ronnie v Selby and Wilson v McGill.
I fear McGill will bore Wilson to actual death there.
Of who remains I might be forced to root for McGill's furious wee face to seethe its way to victory.
That said, I'm softening on Wilson seeing as he's come out with a cup of tea.
Thought McGill was gonna go tonto on that fly or whatever it was he was flapping at there.
Reminds me of Sama telling me he once shouted "Fuck off you cunt!" at a wasp while he was walking down the street.
There was definitely an accusatory glance as if one of the non-existent spectators had thrown the fly at him.
Dott/Ebdon. Truly one for the ages. Glad they've put that on with McGill as he's definitely got a bit of the Dotts about him.

Dott's highest break in that final was 68.
That was an absolute garbage shot from THE WARRIOR there.
McGill is basically this:
