Snooker

If you have Eurosport then watch it on there. The coverage is much better.

 

[Newbridge Wolf]

Thanks for the heads up, what gets me is they are playing canned applause whilst 2 games are going on. Really stupid thought process

 

[Newbridge Wolf]

Fantastic end to the semi final here, Ronnie come back to win it after being 14 -16 down

 

[The Bear]

I can't believe he came back from 16-14 down the way he smashed the balls around as if he was done.

 

[Newbridge Wolf]

Ronnie wins an important frame there to go in 6 - 2 up. Proper tense stuff that was in a 40 minute frame.

Never fancied Wilson for a second regardless of who won the other game last night. Just doesn't have the mentality.

Imagine Ebdon or Dott breaking down because they fluked a ball in the final frame of the semi. Let alone serious champions. He was still banging on about his Masters loss last week too, it was two and a half years ago.

Ronnie hasn't had to play well there and he's still miles in front. Starts well tonight and this could be a massacre.

 

[Tony Towner]

Thought Ronnie looked bored for much of it. He's a prick, but a genius of a prick

I as getting annoyed at him when he did that. I could feel Hendry seething too until he said "you need to pull yourself together" which was obviously his nice way of saying it.

A bit like if Roy Keane saw Seyi picking the other bloke up off the ground ater he'd tackled him.

 

[Newbridge Wolf]

Bloody hell Ronnie, could have saved me something to watch this evening!

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

As observed by Jonathan Liew, Wilson is half Brent, half Finchy. And you'll never unsee it.

Fucks sake! :icon_biggrin::icon_biggrin:

 

[The Bear]

He's definitely more Finchy than Brent.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Could challenge Ron to throw something over the roof of the Crucible as the Real Quiz. It's the only way he's winning.

Needs him to chuck his cue over I think

Ronnie knocked out of the UK Championship 6-5 by a young Swiss guy

 

[The Bear]

Took the piss with this shot.

I actually like watching Snooker even if there was a time that I didn't understand what was going on. Of course, I did my research and this is one of the sports i gravitate to when I am bored. Of course, football and basketball are still my favourites but when it comes to the viewing experience and the thrill, it will be fun if the games are continued like this because Snooker deserves this kind of attention from other people. I hope more peopel are aware that this can be the best thing to happen for us if you play snooker lol. This is pretty fun and exciting when you get the hang of it.

For those who want to ignore the verdict thread, then you can watch the final frames of White v Hendry in the World Cup Qualifiers. Not on TV but you can watch it on Bet365 if you have an account.

Hendry currently 3-1 up. Best of 11.

 

[The Bear]

Make that 4-1.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Alan McManus missed on out qualifying and has retired.

One of my favourites for a good 30 years. Fortunately he's still around as possibly the best pundit on the circuit.
