Snooker World Championship

I believe thE cup held hot water, and were trying to keep their hands warm, it being quite cold
I can’t see that drinking plain water would make you burp.

Why dont you try it Vlad??
Especially if it is cold water !!
Jus a theory l had, and l wondered if anybody had noticed this
phenomenon as well??
Im sure if you are busting for a pee, then your concentration slips??

Donkeyman!

Some very odd things happening shot wise. Joe Perry has been commentating, such a sexy voice, reminds me of the late adored Ted Lowe.

Wow! Sorry I didn’t mean it as a criticism .

Is it just me or are the current bunch of snooker players a miserable lot with no personality. I miss the days of Jimmy White, John Parrot and Dennis Taylor.

Other characters Fred Davis, Eddie Charlton, Rex Williams.

That are a serious bunch :lol: I suppose it’s more about money now rather than the game itself.

Yes, I suppose the golden age has gone forever. I can remember when everything stopped in our house when the snooker was on.

And the commentary…in a hushed voice …’ for those of you watching in black and white…the blue ball is behind the brown’ or something similar :lol:

Thats ok Vlad,nl didnt take it as citicism either
Would have been too bad if l did anyway?
I think when robertson and hawkins interrupted a frame and both
of them dashed for the loo together got my mind working?? LoL!

Donkeyman!

Thanks

:-p:-p

The semi-final between Wilson and McGill the best frame ever in the history of snooker. Wilson only needs the green to win.

McGill 19 behind with 18 on the table.

Ronnie looks like he will be Champion. Not the greatest final, Kryren Wilson not playing good enough.

Result 18-8 win for O’Sullivan. Sixth win equalling Steve Davis and Ray Reardon.

A good win for Ronnie but he’s in a different class. As a final it was too one sided - probably the result of a lop sided draw. I thought either of the semi-finals would have made a more enjoyable final.

There was an interesting moment during the BBC broadcast. After the final when Ronnie was parading about with the Trophy the three chaps in the studio were wittering on and Steve Davis said perhaps Ronnie would win the BBC Sports Personality of the Year next time. The BBC anchorman Jason Mohammed brushed that comment aside by saying that there wasn’t much sport this year.

It’s criminal that O’Sullivan has never won this. Never even been nominated.

Watching coverage of the World Seniors Championship, Jimmy White playing Joe Johnson.

I picked that up, could be that it won’t be held this year as not enough to choose from. Not one player has been shortlisted for SPOTY for a while. The last snooker player to reach the top three was Stephen Hendry who came second in 1990 with Steve Davis winning it two years before.

Classic match between Hendry and Nigel Bond went the distance.

This year with reduced socially distanced spectators the finalists are Mark Selby and Shaun Murphy.

Final over two days. Think Selby will win even though he had the tougher match against Stuart Bingham with some incredibly long frames and an unusual amount of re-racks. Ran out of time so played to finish after the other semi-final.
