Could Ronnie become the first 50 year old to win a world title?

Don't know.

Caught the start of the snooker this morning.

Was transported back 40 years , now they're using the original theme tune again.

Nice tribute for JV as well.

Oh, and a Kilkenny man is in the crowd.

Epic match between higgins and Ronnie coming to conclusion. Great viewing

Higgins 12 11 up and at the table after being 9 7 down overnight

Ronnie and Selby both gone this afternoon. Is that 11 world titles between them?

I meant to put money on Mark Allen winning the tournament.

His odds are obviously worse now though

Draw opening up for him but dont think hes playing anywhere near good enough. Won't get a better chance than this though

John Higgins shouldn't be playing professional snooker end of. He is ruining these tournaments.

Wu is second favourite which I find strange appreciate he is on the easier side of the draw.

Big chance for Allen to make final though his record at the crucible is not great. Hawkins has reached a couple of finals so won't be overawed by him.

I'm guessing this is a tongue in cheek comment.

Match fixing probably not the best advert for the guy
