Hendry with a years solid work behind him has to have a good chance, but he'll play Igor in qf and that's a tough one to call. Kendo has best draw and will want to make up for blowing it last year against jimmy. Ken just about the shout for me.
gj - you're a snooker junkie, desperate for your snooker fix. Then again, this probably has more prestige than half of the ranking events these days, with a place in the Champion of Champions event for the winner - as long as it's White or Hendo 
I'm actually looking forward to this gobe. Patsy back at the crucible after 35 years and with a cue in his hand, not a mere prop for Dennis in commentary. What's not to like about that? I just hope if the final goes to a decider, the bbc doesn't switch it off to show highlights of womens golf like it did last year!
More to the point, have you backed the 2022 world champion yet?
Not yet! But, I'll be having a dabble by the time the month is out. I'm still trying to work out where I stand with Kyren, before I take the plunge. I genuinely didn't fancy his chances this year, but despite his collapse against Murphy, and his level dipping in and out, there were still positives for him to take out of the championship. He was clearly rattled by Murphy whipping the crowd up, but he's likely to improve still further by next year's championship. Selby is on the shortlist, although his price is a little shorter than I was expecting - although I can already think of a few possible negatives against backing him at this stage, not least his price being unlikely to be a lot shorter by post time. Any early thoughts, very early thoughts, yet yourself?
Cant say much gobe other than i agree with selby assessment, dont think he's going anywhere and every chance of adding a couple more to his haul. I think anyway.
One thing i will say for kyren, i liked his post qf interview. There was real hurt there, no sugar coating it, unlike with both robbo and judd who were putting positive spins on it. Robbo going on about his 70 centuries, like you lost man, who the f... cares about your big breaks? Definitely liked that about kyren anyway.

World Seniors Snooker (WSS) was established by the WPBSA in June 2018 to provide opportunities for players over 40 to be able to extend their snooker careers beyond the professional World Snooker Tour.
From the former greats of the professional sport including world champions who have still got the desire to play competitively, to talented amateurs who still crave the opportunity to live their snooker dreams, the WSS Tour provides opportunities for senior players around the world.
Since 2020, tournaments have for the first time also been open to current professional players ranked outside of the world’s top 64, providing a direct link to the World Snooker Tour.

Darren Morgan was two frames up against Lee Walker but we're now in a fifth frame decider 
Morgan was just messing around, puts the youngster to the sword in the decider 
Tap water out of a plain glass, no sponsorship deals for these boys 
Lilley goes through 3-1, turned professional as a 43 year old

"I've got two cue actions. One when I'm practicing on my own, and another when ism playing in a match."
We know how you feel Stephen, we know how you feel

First time I’ve ever seen patsy fagan, usually Dennis chuntering on about him
70 year old but he was rank, 18 high break
70 year old but he was rank, 18 high break
should have won the 2nd frame...hendry got insane lucky snookering him on the last pink
Wallace v Judge was a decent quality match. Wanted Judge to win but Wallace a definite contender on that display, mid match wobble notwithstanding.
I'd pay good money to watch bobwennit vs Patsy Fagan in a best of 7
and angoose," the batsmans holding the bowlers willey" the great brian johnston,
and not sure if this is true, another great peter alliss, " and that his 4th 69 in a row, lucky chap "

Dodgy shoes or not, Ken off to a flyer, 130-0 including a break of 102 
Dennis hangs up his cue for the second and final time, the end of an era.
With any luck Dennis will hang up his microphone as well today
Tony Knowles should be disqualified for that waistcoat and bow tie
Knowles pots the white off the blue and Jimmy Jimmy cleans up to win the match 3-0 
Why is Figueredo allowed in if he's only 43? I thought it was Over 50's?
Thanks
Thanks
Not sure
Igor looks not bad
Be a good game against Hendry tomorrow

Taylor will continue to play in exhibitions and be an ambassador for the sport with his various broadcasting roles
Thanks Angoose
Seems a bit low to put the 'Seniors' bracket at over 40. That mean in theory Ronnie, Higgins, Williams could all play and even Selby and Robertson only two years out.
Should be Over 50 IMO.

Oh just seen 'Ranked outside the Top 64' fair enough.
Still a low age limit though. "Seniors"?

That quote was never actually said.

Ahh FFS. I thought after Judd's rant about snooker moving on etc it was a good chance for the BBC to give Dennis the dunt from commentary, and when they brought in Lisowski, Trump and Joe Perry for the worlds I thought that was they way they were going.
I'll have to continue to mute when he is on

Ken Doherty has been awful in the first few frames here tonight
I wonder what stupid nickname Rob Walker will have come up with overnight for Lilley
walks on water or flower power. Always get the impression walker is going to shat himself with overexcitement at times
bit like doherty when he missed that pink in the decider
senna of snooker... well he's got one in, lilley to come later

Even the final down at the British Legion has more frames than that

Funny feeling that Lilley The Pink will do the bizo .......
If you merged Steve Davis face with Mark William's mush you'd get someone who looks like Lilley
THAT'S how interesting this 1st frame has been for me

Jimmy Jimmy arises from his slumber with a 85 break for a 3-1 defecit ..........
Jimmy Jimmy on a roll, 3-3, Lilley the Pink really needs to win the next 
A nervy frame, both had their chances, but it’s Lilley The Pink who takes it, 4-3, just one frame away
