They're both a bit up and down tonight... probably nerves...

Yeah, neither of these 2 have ever been noted for being mentally strong, quite the opposite.
Have a feeling O'Sullivan was properly embarrassed by some of them on a couple of occasions in the tournament.
Yeah, it's not just them shouting for whoever they want, but moving and coming and going during frames too. Seems strange.
Whoever gets to the final out of these 2 is going to get a battering if they play like they are today.
How the feck is he supposed to hit that? 
Oh like that! fecking amazing shot!
Never used to like Perry but I feel for him here, nothing going right, and he's actually one of the more average fella off the street kind guys in Snooker.
Also, it's amazing how good the coverage and pundits/commentators are at snooker. They never seem to have massively moronic statements or anything, and they manage to knock a few jokes out to keep you going if it's a dull match Much better than seeing the usual suspects on SSN trying to cover football. I know it's 2 completely different sports so it's hard to compare.

Ronnie with his 'tip' antics again made me laugh.. but then he goes and puts in a performance like that. Felt sorry for Fu though.
Hawkins had the match won now Voldermort back in it
Pretty poor standard in this match compared to the one earlier. Hope we don't get a drubbing tomorrow.
That break. That brown 
Fair play.
Fair play.Mental...
Well in Joe, great comeback. Needs to up his game tomorrow otherwise Ronnie will turn him over.
Incredible comeback last night. I was hoping to see Hawkins get another crack in the final, but fair play to Joe Perry, that was an incredible finish and he deserves his chance.
Now hoping the final won't be one-sided. I'll be rooting for Joe as I love to see an underdog do well.

Yeah I like underdogs in snooker, except when Ronnie's playing. Go on Ronnie! Shame I'm not home until 4pm.
I do confess to being a 'Ronnie fan', but some of them in the audience are just arseholes. There's always a few that shout something stupid when his opponent misses a pot or just go overboard a bit too much. Suppose it comes with the territory when the most popular player ever in the game is playing.
Really want Ronnie to win but Joe has started well...
Paul Hunters mam and dad fecking hell, plastic surgery much?
fecking hell, plastic surgery much?Poor 9th frame, Perry looks as if his head has gone now too.
Medical attention required in crowd? Lots of commotion, Ronnie asks to continue, pots a red and misses the black.
Don't know if he actually wanted to continue or if he was trying to detract the crowds attention from the the guy who was having problems. Perry also continued through it.

It's Ronnie O'Sullivan, I'm sure his mind would've only been on the well-being of others.
Afraid so. I have next to no faith in his interest in anything but himself. He's astonishingly self-absorbed.Sarcasm?
Well considering he has been stopping for the slightest crowd movement, noise, arena noise, him going through the commotion seemed odd.
He always does.
Looks very likely to win, tonight. His ability to win tournaments, without really trying, is astonishing.
Yeah, he'll win tournaments forever just about. Like I said though, whoever won yesterday between Hawkins and Perry were always going to lose, neither have the mentality. Proper bottle jobs when it counts, basically, it was Arsenal vs Tottenham in the snooker yesterday.
Perry was doing well, being 4-1 up, then once Ronnie got 3 in a row it ruined him. No way back.
I like Perry but he's been rubbish tonight, only going to be one winner.
Well just thank god that Selby isn't in another final stinking the joint out (as Tyson Fury would say). He'd have Peter Ebdon'd Ronnie to death and then some. Ronnie is the best player ever, best to watch, he has the most centuries and most 147's, fastest 147 ever so should rightly IMO have the most Masters, worlds and overall trophies. Be a travesty if he lets Hendry top things.
I, for one, would cope.
Nah, we'll keep Hendry at top.
Poor old Perry, looks like a lottery ticket winner with a bye to the final. Handled the folically challenged fine but can't get passed the full head of hair one.
I can imagine him crying himself to sleep for not being as good, yeah.
Hendry looks much happier since he retired.
They all do to be honest.
Perry already blown two fantastic chances in this frame.
Make that three.
Perry has been bad. Ronnie wasn't very good at all today.
Fans are infuriating during the interviews
YES!!! Ronnie takes over Hendry in yet another. Ronnie is the king of snooker. FACT
