Dubliner Fergal O'Brien will compete at the Crucible for the first time in seven years following Wednesday night's epic 19th and deciding frame against David Gilbert. Level at nine frames a piece, the final stanza broke the world record for the longest snooker frame of all time - clocking in at over two hours and three minutes. https://twitter.com/robwalkertv/status/852293030845526016?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.rte.ie%2Fsport%2Fsnooker%2F2017%2F0412%2F867375-fergal-obrien-wins-after-mammoth-final-frame%2F Longer than the world's quickest marathon, or a game of football plus extra-time, or two episodes of Game of Thrones and only 10 minutes shorter than Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. The longest service game in tennis ever, between Noelle van Lottum and Sandra Begijn, was 52 minutes. O'Brien managed to stay awake long enough to speak to a conscious member of the media afterwards: "Obviously in an ideal world you win a bit quicker than that. "The balls went scrappy in the colours and I was so tired, double-checking everything and I'm so, so relieved. "I'm looking forward to the draw now." You can watch the drama from 4 hours and 18 minutes into the video below. Go on, you know you want to. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KKc9_MZgpqoWe're not going to lie to you, we have not watched this in its entirety.
