You probably reckon you could make that shot, right?

Who knows what happens afterwards, and where the white ball will end up, but I back you to pot that red.

Gary Wilson would have backed himself, too, especially having made it to the semi-final of the World Snooker Championship.

Facing off against Judd Trump (no relation to that other guy), who would eventually go on to win the tournament, Wilson suffered a horrible miscue.

Happens to the best of us, Gaz:

Not your best work.

Still, just making the semi-final was a huge accomplishment. Below from Buzz:

The Wallsend 33-year-old endured six years off the tour and took jobs as a taxi driver, a barman and a production line worker in a frozen foods factory before grasping his second chance.

Wilson said: “I dropped off the tour and I wasn’t good enough to get back on. I was having all these uncertain times when I didn’t know if I was going to be a pro again.

“I was desperate to get back on the tour and just scrape a living. So to go from that point to where I am now, in the one-table set-up, is absolutely amazing and the sort of thing you dream of.”

Gary also scored a £100 000 payday for his semi-final finish, so that should help ease the pain of that horrid miscue.
