The Snooker Thread (World Championship et all)

[Master D]

This is gripping stuff.

 

[Robert Molenaar]

Been saying Trump from the start as well. He's been the best all round player by far for me this year.

 

[TractorBoys]

Really enjoyed Hawkins/Robertson throughout, amazing stuff. Wanna see Hawkins get over the line.

 

[Master D]

2 big shocks tonight. I imagine that makes the tournament less watchable for a lot but it's anyone's title now. Robertson played brilliantly all tournament, he didn't really deserve to go out.

 

[DarkSithLord]

WOW. I actually get to see Ronnie but then I catch him on his biggest off day if recent years? Just my luck. Hats of to Bingham, He played extremely well particularly in the final session and that 145 Break was superb. The best break I have seen live.

Murphy/Trump for me and I still think it could go either way. Although Hawkins will push Shaun all the way. He is such a consistent performer.

Roberstson just needs to find a "B" game for when he isnt on fire and putting centuries for fun. If he can graft a few of the scrappy frames he will; win another WC.

 

[Master D]

That clearance from Trump, I need to watch that again as soon as possible. That brown was fucking ridiculous, exhibition stuff.

 

[Robert Molenaar]

He is ridiculous.

 

[Master D]

Please let it be a Trump v Murphy final. It would be amazing. The other 2 are good players in their own right of course but they are just so non-descript it wouldn't be as watchable.

 

[Super_horns]

Shaun Murphy only 4 frames away - maybe another to finish with a session to spare?

 

[The Iron]

Hopefully it will be a Murphy v Trump final, but at the moment Trump is struggling against Bingham and trails 7-9 going into tomorrow.

 

[Leewilson]

I hope Trump is able to fight back here. I think he'll just about have enough but Bingham's in the form of his life at the moment.

Honestly can't see anybody but Murphy winning this though. He's playing out of his skin. Wish I'd put a bet on it before the tournament.

 

[SALTIRE]

Murphy is a very elegant player, moves around the table beautifully, just like Minnesota Fats.

 

[Cheese & Biscuits]

Bingham 2 up with 3 to play. Should be a great final whoever gets through. All 3 are playing really well. Looking forward to vegging on the sofa for two days!

 

[The Iron]

It looks like it's going to be 16-16 very soon.

 

[Cheese & Biscuits]

So it looks like it's going to be a final frame decider. Such a high standard.

 

[Master D]

Final frame shootout. Judd has the momentum.

 

[The Iron]

Incredible snooker from Trump at the moment.

 

[Veggie Legs]

Trump looks unstoppable the last couple of frames, he should go on to win this decider.

 

[Cheese & Biscuits]

I'm hoping Bingham does it. You'd think there's not going to be many more chances for him to reach the final so it'd be nice if he got a shot. Trump is playing very well though.

 

[Master D]

Fair play Bingham, that was simply superb pressure snooker. Held his nerve in the face of Judd's fightback.

Trump just falling short again, disappointing but he played so well.

 

[Veggie Legs]

Unbelievable final frame from Bingham, he deserves to be in the final.

 

[Super_horns]

Will Murphy having a fairer easy semi be an advantage?

 

[Cheese & Biscuits]

Very pleased for him. Fantastic snooker.

Murphy will be favourite but it should be a close final. Both playing well.

 

[Krazy8]

Stuart Bingham and Shaun Murphy proving there's still a place for slightly portly men in world class sport.

 

[Cheese & Biscuits]

Shows how much it means to him. Getting very emotional.

 

[Destruction]

Delighted for Bingham.

Would love to see him win tomorrow but think that will have taken its toll and Murphy will win comfortably.

 

[Cheese & Biscuits]

He'd have done pretty well to win tomorrow!

 

[Destruction]

YKWIM.

 

[ZianfrancoGoal]

 

[The Iron]

Not long to go before the final gets underway. Hopefully it will be a close game with neither one getting more than 2 frames in front.
