Off Topic World Championship Snooker

... and Murphy's no doubt

 

Told you he wasn't going to be disgraced! The longer this goes on I'd be very worried for Murphy, Bingham's mental strength seems unbeatable. Murphy may very well start getting frustrated, as I'm sure Stuart Bingham must have been extremely satisfied with his day's work whereas Shaun must feel sick only leading by a frame having been 4 up.

 

I never said he was going to be disgraced. I was actually very concerned about him after I watched him against Trump.

I was hoping when Murphy got the 4 frame advantage that he would atleast sustain the lead though.

I've even been contemplating hedging my bets and backing Bingham at 5/2. But I've decided not to in the end, as Murphy is still infront after all

 

Shergy I backed Murphy on the handicaps before the match at -3.5 frames, and I've cashed out at a small loss. Bingham has been underestimated all tournament and I'm not taking him on again. Obviously you're in a different scenario in that you simply need him to win, but I think I'd be hedging if I were you...

 

Bingham is a certainty from here, Murphy's head has gone

 

Glad I cashed out when I did! Bingham's frankly playing out of this world snooker. Fair play to him, he's a likeable sort

 

Time for the feet up, I think it's going to go all the way 17-17 then whatever happens, happens. Expect Murphy to win the first few this evening before Ball Run settles into this evening. God forbid if Bingham wins, the Crucible might possibly get flooded with his tears of joy May the best man win!

 

Just tuned in to see Bingham win the frame with another 100 break (with just one black I understand) 15-12 Bingham

 

15-13

 

One of the clearances of the tournament from Murphy that was.

 

My moneys is on 15-14 at the break

 

What a shout that is Ron. You and that crystal ball are seldom wrong!

 

Hmm. I think Bingham is beginning to crack at last. That's 2 frames he has let Murphy in. We'll see just how is nerves are now.

 

Obviously I was just joking Ron as I thought when you posted I was already 15-14! Murphy looks to be in he ascendency now doesn't he. Gonna be nip and tuck...very open game considering. I'd expect a lot more tactical play normally.

 

No it was just after Bingham cocked up. I lost signal after the break but I see it is 15-15 now

 

Bugger. Lost it again. Haven't been able to watch any of the Arsenal game, which is more annoying

 

The Arsenal game has been very dHull really.

 

I was hoping they would go above Man C with a 5-0 win but it's 3-1

Back on the snooker now. Very tense

I have to be up at 5am tomorrow. Hope this finishes soon

 

Did I hear that right? " Murphy is the best wrist player"

 

Now" he's over screwed it"

I think I've got my channels mixed up
