The Snooker Thread (World Championship et all)

[LeWhites]

Both players have been outstanding when they've got amongst the balls in this match. McManus gave too much away yesterday but looks in exceptional form today. I think Ding will win though, 17-12 or 17-13

 

[Cheese & Biscuits]

It is incredible where McManus has found this form from. He was never really world champion material back in his prime, let alone now. Great to see it though.

At least one qualifier through to the final too. Ding v Selby is probably the best match up but whoever makes it, it should be a cracker. Probably one of the most enjoyable tournaments I can remember.

 

[Cheese & Biscuits]

Ding on for a maximum here.

 

[Cheese & Biscuits]

No!!!! Missed the black off the final red.

The wife has dibs on the big tv so I can't watch Eurosport. I have to listen to the insufferable Virgo on the bbc on thr crap tv. Where's the white going?

Unlucky..but won't feel so bad if he wins the title..

Unlucky..but won't feel so bad if he wins the title..

And not as bad as Pagnell.

Selby v Fu looks like it's going to go to the wire. Far from fluent from either at the moment.

Good to see Ding make the final too. Far too good a player to never make it that far.

 

[Super_horns]

How many millions would be watching Fu v Ding if that is the final?

Cant see Fu or Selby on this form denying Ding the win. Totally deserved too

Some superb safety play on show at the minute, but neither player looks interested in potting anything.

Well there has been some excellent single balls pots in the frame but the balls have gone awkward and neither player can get position.

Crucial safety battle this though. Fu in trouble here.

 

[Cheese & Biscuits]

Wow, that safety from Selby

 

[Cheese & Biscuits]

This is phenomenal snooker. Great finish to this match.

 

[Master D]

In frames like this Selby is almost impossible to beat.

 

[Cheese & Biscuits]

What a way to lose a frame. Selby v Ding it is.

 

[Pagnell]

So Selby v Ding. Should be good.

 

[DarkSithLord]

Selby v Ding then...

Cannot wait for that!

 

[Cheese & Biscuits]

I wonder if anyone is going to ask Marco about the foul on the red he didn't own up to.

Hopefully not. Give the man a break. It is the Semi Final of the World Champs....

Snooker prides itself on the sportsmanship it has. It's a shame if these things happen.

 

[Destruction]

Some good snooker that, even me the peanut eating simpleton enjoyed it.

 

[Pagnell]

They say the first step to rectifying ignorance is accepting it, so well done mate. If you need any advice on snooker PM me.

Could you advise why I can't find McManus on the info page on my TV planner for today's final?

TIA.

 

[Pagnell]

Because Ding was better. This is what I'm talking about mate, I'm amazed such an obvious answer escapes you. Even someone with a basic understanding of snooker should know this.

 

[Destruction]

Because Ding was better.

Too right he was.

 

[Cheese & Biscuits]

Selby 4-0 up. Ding just not at the races.

 

[Ciderhead]

Like that Selby, a lifelong Leicester City fan, could win the World Championship on the same day they win the Premier League. Like, if Carlsberg did bank holiday Mondays...

 

[Ciderhead]

And I can't believe it's ending tomorrow, it's been great stuff! Don't know what I'm going to do with myself, it's been constant snooker on in the house these last 2 weeks.

I'm quite relieved tbh, I've got 24 recorded 'A place in the sun; home or away' on my planner due to watching snooker every afternoon instead.
