Make that 3 bad shots...

Surprised there aren't more snooker fans on the site than what there seems to be, I thought this is where everyone came after BBC 606 shut down?

Everyone dispersed all over the place after BBC shut down 606. I would guess snooker fans saw little action on the snooker board and went elsewhere. Or just don't bother checking.

Sink this... it might be over...

Hawkins missed his glorious chance at 5-4 when he fluffed the blue. He'll be gutted to have been knocked out when he was in control of the match.

A mightily relieved Judd you feel.

Yeah, had enough chances. When he tried to pocket a red in the middle and hit the black, the missed blue etc.

Bottled it. Although both players seemed to suggest the table was not rolling true.

Yes they did. Unusual for both players to complain about that and I'm sure it will be looked at ahead of tonight.

Both seemed very nervy though towards the end.

Anyone about? Murphy 2-0 up.

Hi RKW. At work during the day so don't get a chance to see the afternoon matches, although it seems that Trump was pretty lucky to get through. Relying on Murphy to get to the final and earn me some dough back. 2-1 I believe.

Ah right, I'm lucky enough to be able to catch the majority of the games.

Yes he was, although he can be more thankful to Hawkins for missing his chances more than anything else.

2-1 now, and Walden in the balls again in the fourth.

Got my eye on the FA Cup replays also - backed Palace to beat Sunderland (there's usually a home defeat somewhere for one of the Premier league teams) and they go and miss a pen!!

* Palace to beat Stoke...

Palace are playing Stoke?

Yeah, I'm more or less focusing on the FA Cup replay's for tonight RKW, but will be on for you 2 and I'll hopefully discuss the major talking points of any frames.

Who is playing currently and what is the score?

Murphy leads Walden 3-1 at the MSI.

Murphy goes 3-1 up against Walden at the interval. Yeah, I meant Stoke, although the pen was still missed!!
I also used a free bet for a cheeky double on Palace and Bolton (who are playing Sunderland) - I fancy at least one of them to win, not sure which one though........

Should have gone for Stoke 0-0. That's all I ever predict for them and half the time I've got it right.

Stoke were keeping a few clean sheets earlier in the season, although they've been a lot more shaky of late. I don't tend to bet on actual scores, just do a few matches. Although rather than bet 0-0, I would do 'no goalscorer', as own goals don't count (and who knows how many Walters will get by the end of the season)

True on Walters!

Meanwhile, Murphy is making good ground. Just scored a century break to extend his lead to 4-1. No late finish tonight.

Back to the snooker and 4-1 Murphy. It looks as if Murphy is playing pretty well, and not sure that Walden has the weapons to hurt him.

Not many goals football-wise tonight is there?!

Murphy unlucky with the pack split but a great clearance under pressure from Walden to make it 2-4. We've had a few comebacks already, will this be another?

Missed pen and now Stoke take the lead. Oh well.

Just take a look at the BBC live text for tonight's football. They've just posted a picture of the MK Dons manager - does anyone else agree that he looks like a skinnier James Corden?

Haha - you really are bored!!! I've just noticed that Bolton are 2-0 up!!

Murphy playing well but unlucky with the pack-splits at the moment.
