@InTheBalls147 They are even doing it before the frame ball is potted.

Feels shootoutesque tbh with Wuuuuuuuuus. Just doesn't feel right at the Crucible. Dunno if I like it

@InTheBalls147 Likewise tbh, imagine if they did it with every player.

@InTheBalls147 @Packology Very unprofessional from them, but they've been doing it for years, it ruins the atmosphere.

@Packology Wu was on for a 147 and the camera cut to the lady in the crowd who would win 100k if theres a 147. Commentary said theres someone in the cried who's nervous. She nodded. Crowd chuckled. Ref shushed 🤫 wu missed.

That chuckle and the crowd being asked to be quiet ruined that 147 and the 100k #SnookerWorldChampionship

@Mark17k @cruciblecrush Dennis is the same.

@cruciblecrush Its Hallworth on commentary doesn't shut his hole for 2 seconds lol.

Wu definitely should sue the arse that invented this stupid bonus 😂poor Wu he was on for a max then it’s not acceptable #147sf

@nickgoff79 Higgins is now no2 for me, if it wasn't for running out of steam in a few semis and finals, then yes he could've been the GOAT, the same will happen against Murphy.

I’ll tell you something and the history books might not agree and the lovers of Ronnie won’t agree but I’ve never been more right. When they all play their best, the whole lot, ever, John Higgins is the greatest player of all time.

@Denmania2008 @nickgoff79 They lacked experience in the early 90s, but they were all beating Stephen during the 90s, but they eventually improved a lot, became the complete player, with great consistency and Stephen's form dipped a little bit, but it doesn't take away him achievements.

@nickgoff79 So were Higgins, Ronnie and Williams not around when Hendry doninated the game during the 90s? Funny that considering they all started in 1992...

"I don't really get excited by much, but this was f**king unbelievable!" Paul Scholes' day out at the snooker! 😍

@thebedfordfox Ronnie already needed a snooker, but I understand you want to throw criticism at Ronnie, if it makes you happy.

What a contrast between Trump and O'Sullivan as they lose a deciding frame. One offers warm congratulations, the other interrupts his opponent's break and scuttles away.

@longformsnooker Yeah I was watching it on catch up and couldn't find the deciding frame, wonderful lol

Anyone else's iplayer feed just disappeared? #snooker

@FoodPleaser Too much mayo.

What’s your first thought when you see this sandwich? 🍌

@totalsnookered Stephen Hendry buying a round of drinks for the BBC crew because Ronnie got beaten isn't very classy.

Ronnie O'Sullivan is sounding positive despite his deciding frame defeat, having been five frames up at one point in the match. He also congratulated his opponent John Higgins, and said the Scot has a chance of winning this Championship if he plays like he did today. #snooker

@adored_1199 But he's been unlucky really, because twice was against an inform O'Sullivan and once against Williams last year and Higgins in the past, he could easily have won 4-5 world titles.

Judd Trump…. 1 world title in 21 attempts. “Legend” #snooker #worldchampionship #snookerworldchampionship

@blue_letterrr What could've been, but we witnessed a prime Higgins performance, I just hope he can keep it going.

@davidroe147 I noticed he was very harsh about Ronnie too, saying he's glad it hurts that he lost, perhaps he's trying to be like Stephen Hendry.

McManus disgraceful trying to turn that interview negative with Verfai.

@TAFKASB I would have to agree, plus players seem to fold against him even when he's not on fire, so for that reason I don't ever bother watching.

I honestly don't mean this in a nasty way but even when Judd is in full flow I really don't think he's good to watch. Personal taste.

@TAFKASB I thought Ronnie did it in the championship league.

The Gent classes Selby's cuebang as an 'all time great'. I have to agree. Mags needs to up his game.

@OOCSnooker Bendy.

How’s his cue not snapped here 😅

@WHATSFORDlNNER Smallest bit of mash I've ever seen.

Pie, Mash and Veg

@_RocketFan147 I just want to see Ronnie have a good run in the tournament just to see if he still has the stamina when he gets to a semi or a final, as Higgins has showed he always has nothing left by then.

Proud of the fight shown there but the match was lost last night. He will never win this title again.

@RonnieTracker It's always a sad day when Ronnie exits the competition, he threw away a few frames during the match and it cost him in the end, it gave Higgins the confidence.

Absolutely gutted about that, after such really positive performances in the opening round and the opening session it looked like we were in for a quiet a week Hopefully next season we see more of him by getting more match practice and sharpness under his belt He'll be back 🚀
