The Snooker Thread (World Championship et all)

Great black ball celebrity then, enjoyed that.

As for the final, agree with all the above, think it's Binghams. DarkSithLord is going to be devvo'd.

Thorne on commentary YET AGAIN. This is not normal and beyond a joke.

 

[Arbury]

I'd rather thorne than Ken "pink chino" Doherty.

Those fucking shoes!!!

Thorne must have some compromising photos of Hazel Irvine or something to keep getting this gig.

 

[Arbury]

Murphy is from Wellingborough isn't he?? Or somewhere shit like that.

 

[Cheese & Biscuits]

Born in Harlow, grew up in Northamptonshire somewhere I think.

 

[Cheese & Biscuits]

What a break this is. No pink or black for most of it.

 

[Master D]

Amazing century from Bingham, he had a positional struggle all the way through that.

 

[Cheese & Biscuits]

I hope Murphy picks it up a bit otherwise Bingham could run away with it. Part of me wants a one-sided session so I can get to bed at a decent time but part of me wants a tense, 18-17 that finishes in the early hours.

 

[Master D]

What a steal that is from Murphy, could have been all over there but now it's back on. And if Murphy pinches this next frame before the interval then we are in for a late one.

 

[DarkSithLord]

The last two frames have been fantastic!

 

[The Iron]

A few mistakes now from Bingham and Murphy is taking full advantage.

 

[Cheese & Biscuits]

I never understood why potting the white when potting the red wasn't an 8 point penalty. Murphy gains an advantage from the foul as it takes 8 points off the table.

Anyway, 1 frame in it.

 

[DarkSithLord]

This is going to the wire.

 

[Cheese & Biscuits]

Mistakes are creeping in. Murphy looks the better player now and I expect him to win.

 

[DarkSithLord]

Fascinating tactical frame now at 15-15 and it could be crucial one in the match too.

 

[Cheese & Biscuits]

I'm already thinking of my excuse for being late in to work tomorrow.

 

[Master D]

Gonna be a late, late finish here. Got to love it though.

 

[DarkSithLord]

Bingham desperately unfortunate . Not only did he somehow go in off but he brought the other red up on a plate for Murphy there.

 

[Robert Molenaar]

This is excellent. Really hope Bingham wins it.

 

[Veggie Legs]

This is a great frame, I love the long tactical ones.

You can add me to the Willie Thorne hate club too. Dennis Taylor is my favourite in the commentary box.

 

[Cheese & Biscuits]

Dennis Taylor and Terry Griffiths are a winning combo.

 

[Master D]

Ball run Murphy.

 

[DarkSithLord]

Big frame to win this..

 

[TractorBoys]

Bathroom break before the frame finishes... as you do!

Best final in years, btw.

Without doubt. Fitting finish to a excellent tournament.

 

[Cheese & Biscuits]

I agree. Been pretty even and has had everything. Can't call it.

 

[Master D]

Murphy should have conceded the frame, this is pointless now and is draining his energy.

 

[Master D]

Bingham's safety game has won him this title I think.

What a story his is. The players he's beaten, he deserves it more than anyone. Best tournament in years, some amazing matches.

 

[Cheese & Biscuits]

Chuffed for him!
