The Snooker Thread

[Adders]

Just checked and fox sports in Aus aren't showing any of this.........DTSTL.

World Champion is out! Bingham's safety game was all over the place yesterday; barely ever got the cue ball to the baulkline let alone near the cushion.

Just been looking at the draw - there really are a lot of grey men in snooker these days - I fear for the game once O'Sullivan pulls his final flounce

Seems like Trump is the only one that even tries to be somewhat entertaining, and he's often slated for it in commentary.

Is he the one who wears (used to wear) an alice band?

The retirement of Steve Davis is probably worthy of it's own thread, but he was such a tedious twerp in his prime that he's not getting one.

 

[Compton]

Trump finding himself in bother again after a brutal first session against Ding. At least he's not in Mark Allan's position

This Championship has had plenty of upsets early doors.

 

[Lillian Thomson]

Ronnie out. Although he's become a boring dick with his antics he's still the only current player worth watching.

That's the match fixer gone, bonus.

 

[Lillian Thomson]

Selby v Ding. zzzzzzzzzzzzzz Might watch a bit of the last session if it's close.

 

[Lillian Thomson]

Selby leading 6-0. Time to start trotting out Dennis Taylor winning from 8-0 down in 1985.

 

[fredfertang]

Disappointing - had heard there was plenty of steel in China - seems not

 

[Lillian Thomson]

Selby won 18-14. No one cares (except his wife).

 

[Lillian Thomson]

15 year olds didn't look like that in my day.

When I heard the headline O'Sullivan blasts Trump I was thought it was safe to assume they meant Judd.

Ronnie O'Sullivan hits out at US President Donald Trump and tells him to 'chill' over a potential war with North Korea - Mirror Online

 

[Lillian Thomson]

I forgot the World Championships started today. It's all a bit boring. Great players but personality wise you almost yearn for characters like Terry Griffiths. Even Ronnie has become boring with his nonsense comments away from the table.

 

[fredfertang]

Surprised John Higgins is still in it - he's a careworn looking man if ever I saw one - can't believe he's only 41 - he looks older than me

 

[Lillian Thomson]

Judd Trump beaten in the first round. Probably all sorts of Donald jokes in there but I can't think of any.

 

[Lillian Thomson]

Higgins 10 Selby 7 after the first day of the Final.

Great, a huge call goes in favour of the spot fixer. Referee in totally the wrong place to see it. The ball just abruptly comes to a halt of its own volition presumably.
