Still on the first frame, Ronnie is on the table with a decent chance of taking it.

McNamara That Ghost...
23-04-2012, 01:56 PM
Ronnie fails on the pink, looks like he has managed an inadvertent snooker though. :lol:

McNamara That Ghost...
23-04-2012, 01:57 PM
Now Ronnie fails on the black!

McNamara That Ghost...
23-04-2012, 01:57 PM
Ebdon pots the black. Scores are tied. :haha:

Respotted black needed.

Ebdon is such a Ghel.

Brilliant brown from Ronnie there though. Fits and starts, but he's potting pretty well, and didn't hav ethe rub of the green there either.

World Snooker chairman Barry Hearn says Mark Allen will face a disciplinary process for comments made after his first-round defeat by Cao Yupeng at the World Championship in Sheffield.
Allen claimed Cao failed to declare an illegal push shot when leading 5-4.
"To effectively accuse your opponent of cheating is looked on as bringing the game into disrepute," said Hearn.
"Time and time again Mark seems unable to control himself in his public statements. Sometimes I am speechless."
In response to Allen's accusation of dishonesty on the part of Cao, Hearn added: "Players have rules written in their contracts and they are not allowed to say certain things.
"If they do, they are in breach of tournament regulations and will come under a disciplinary process.
"There is a responsibility on players to make sure that their comments are proper and thought through."
Hearn also welcomed the news that Allen has closed his Twitter account as it was also revealed that the Northern Irishman had been fined £1,000 for criticisms of the tournament location at the recent World Open in China.
"I'm glad Mark has closed his Twitter account," he said. "People must realise Twitter is out there in the public domain so you have to be careful what you say.
"It is the players' responsibility to treat everyone with respect and there are rules that they must adhere to.
"Following the rules of World Snooker is part and parcel of playing on the Tour and we will not tolerate any breach.
"Whether there has been a push shot or not is pretty much academic - it's the slant of the comments that Mark made afterwards.

"He had the chance to say to the referee that he believed he had made a mistake, but did not take that opportunity.
"There is a written complaints procedure for players to make any grievances that they may have known."
Allen, 26, could face a fine, suspension or expulsion if found guilty of bringing the sport into disrepute.
The Antrim player, who admits he was "completely outplayed" by the world number 81, claimed Cao failed to declare an illegal push shot when leading 5-4.
No foul was given and the 26-year-old Northern Irishman eventually lost 10-6.
"I'm disgusted. The state of snooker is very sad if it has to be down to that, but it's not the first time," said Allen after the game.
It is not the first time that Allen has caused controversy on the circuit.
In March, he took to his Twitter account to criticise conditions at China's Haikou World Open as "horrendous".
"Dead cat found this morning," he tweeted. "Any wonder this place stinks. Must be dead cats all round the town."
He went on to win the event and later stood by his comments, insisting: "It would be nicer to play tournaments in the UK, but I have to go where the money is."
In December, he called on World Snooker chairman Hearn to resign after changes were made to the format of major tournaments.
"I've got no doubt he'll tweak the World Championship," Allen said at the time. "The whole tradition of the game is going to pot."
Allen was fined for the Hearn outburst, while his Haikou World Open comments are still being assessed by the snooker authorities.

Break of 121 by Gilbert, he trails Robertson by 11-8 now.

And I guess but when you see easy reds being missed it does make you think you're in a pub.

Makes for great viewing

Was a difficult one admittedly but Hendry pots it and its 11-4

This is alwsome

Higgins. :rose:

Is anybody ever going to defend this tournament again?

Cripps_orig
27-04-2012, 08:41 PM
12-4 at the end of the session

Higgins needs to win 9 in a row

Has Hendry ever in his career lost that many in a row?

McNamara That Ghost...
27-04-2012, 08:43 PM
I wouldn't have thought so. If he did then certainly not when he only needs one to win.

McNamara That Ghost...
28-04-2012, 01:33 PM
Higgins vs Hendry resumes.

Ronnie vs Williams is on too.

:popcorn:

McNamara That Ghost...
28-04-2012, 01:49 PM
Hendry wins 13-4, well that didn't take long.

Higgins. :lol:

He had best speak to his dodgy contacts again. :ninja:

Way to defend your title :lol:

McNamara That Ghost...
28-04-2012, 02:00 PM
Ronnie. :bow:

Great snookers. Even if they haven't actually been successful. :lol:

McNamara That Ghost...
28-04-2012, 02:01 PM
Williams leads 1-0.

McNamara That Ghost...
28-04-2012, 02:14 PM
Ronnie levels it up. :bow:

McNamara That Ghost...
28-04-2012, 02:26 PM
Ronnie leads 2-1.

McNamara That Ghost...

Loved watching the World Championships as a kid.

Cripps_orig

Grew up watching Hendry v White finals

What a rivalry that was :bow:

Pretty one sided though

Marc Overmars
28-04-2012, 10:28 PM
I was always allowed to stay up late if the final went to the wire as well. :bow:

McNamara That Ghost...
29-04-2012, 01:35 PM
Williams vs Ronnie and Carter vs Trump will resume soon.

McNamara That Ghost...
29-04-2012, 01:54 PM
3-6 Ronnie leads now. :bow:

107 break.

McNamara That Ghost...
29-04-2012, 02:04 PM
3-7 to Ronnie.

McNamara That Ghost...
29-04-2012, 02:24 PM
3-8 now. He has been brilliant today.

McNamara That Ghost...
29-04-2012, 02:40 PM
Carter has just gone 6-5 up against Trump. Another century break.

McNamara That Ghost...
29-04-2012, 02:42 PM
3-9 Ronnie leads. Wow.

Mid-session interval now.

McNamara That Ghost...
29-04-2012, 03:12 PM
3-10 to Ronnie and another century break! That's one of the best clearances I've seen (128).

Williams has been well and truly shat on.

McNamara That Ghost...
29-04-2012, 03:22 PM
3-11. :wacko: 293 points without reply.

McNamara That Ghost...
29-04-2012, 03:28 PM
Williams has finally managed to pot some.

Shaqiri Is Boss
29-04-2012, 03:33 PM
And wins a frame :faint:

McNamara That Ghost...
29-04-2012, 03:33 PM
Williams stops the rot. 4-11.

Gubby Allen
29-04-2012, 03:45 PM
He looks phenomenal - bet on 13-4 earlier today too.

O'Sullivan V Robertson should be a corking game, 1st and 2nd favourites for the tournament and one will be out.

McNamara That Ghost...
29-04-2012, 03:55 PM
And the session ends at 5-11. Resumes tomorrow.

Cripps_orig
29-04-2012, 07:03 PM
Watching Stevens v Hawkins

4-6 atm

Forgot about Stevens. He was pretty good back in the day. What happened to him?

McNamara That Ghost...
29-04-2012, 07:16 PM
Bit of a bottler.

Cripps_orig
29-04-2012, 07:25 PM
5-6

Stevens with a century break

The other match is the Pub Team contest

Olivier's xmas twist
29-04-2012, 07:25 PM
Stevens 5 Hawkins 6.

Stevens got a centry in the last frame

Cripps_orig
29-04-2012, 07:50 PM
5-7

Mid session interval

Weird game in that they showed the stats of the match, most pots, most points, long pot success, safety etc etc and in all of them, Stevens was better and higher yet is 2 frames down

Cripps_orig
29-04-2012, 08:25 PM
6-7

Trumps going for the maximum

9 reds and 9 blacks

All reds are out in the open and the colours on the spots

McNamara That Ghost...
30-04-2012, 12:56 PM
It might have been ended here.

McNamara That Ghost...
30-04-2012, 12:57 PM
Couldn't fluke it. Good break though.

11-8 Trump leads.

Cripps_orig
30-04-2012, 12:57 PM
And so it ends

Didnt even get a century :lol:

Worst 147 attempt ever?

Nevertheless

11-8 it is

Cripps_orig
30-04-2012, 01:09 PM
On the other table, Hawkins about to win the frame but will be 10-9 down

Really scrappy frame.

Trump leads 12-9 now.

Cripps_orig
30-04-2012, 01:52 PM
Carter continuing even though he needs 4 snookers

Cripps_orig
30-04-2012, 01:53 PM
Ok its over now

12-9 now

Just seen Ronnie v Williams clashes with the Manc Derby

Might have to miss a bit of the football

Cripps_orig
30-04-2012, 02:00 PM
Bloody annoying hearing JV say "wheres the cue ball going?" when its obvious it aint going in

He needs some luck here.

McNamara That Ghost...
30-04-2012, 02:09 PM
And he gets no luck. :haha:

McNamara That Ghost...
30-04-2012, 02:10 PM
Cue ball goes flying.

Carter wins the frame. 12-10 he trails.

Cripps_orig
30-04-2012, 02:10 PM
And he didnt get it

That was a decent attempt

Cripps_orig
30-04-2012, 02:11 PM
12-10

Hope Carter wins this

Never heard of this Trump Pub Teamer before last years tournament and never seen him since this one.

Cripps_orig
30-04-2012, 02:23 PM
One more miss and Trump loses the frame

Has that ever happened?

Cripps_orig
30-04-2012, 02:24 PM
What a pot that was

LDG
30-04-2012, 02:24 PM
What a shot!

McNamara That Ghost...
30-04-2012, 02:24 PM
What a pot from Trump.

LDG
30-04-2012, 02:24 PM
Just tucked himself up though :lol:

LDG
30-04-2012, 02:25 PM
and gets out of it! Ha!! Carter :lol:

McNamara That Ghost...
30-04-2012, 02:26 PM
Carter. :lol:

He just dropped the Ashes.

Cripps_orig
30-04-2012, 02:26 PM
Could be it for Carter

McNamara That Ghost...
30-04-2012, 02:27 PM
Or not. What the hell is the blue doing down there? :lol:

Cripps_orig
30-04-2012, 02:28 PM
Maybe not

Trump misses the blue off the spot

Carter in and should get some points

Me, given this opportunity would make a 147 break. A Pub Teamer like Carter should get 40 points minimum

Cripps_orig
30-04-2012, 02:28 PM
Or not. What the hell is the blue doing down there? :lol:It is weird watching snooker and seeing reds up in the bulk area and the bulk colours down near the black spot.

Those are the frames i enjoy though

McNamara That Ghost...
30-04-2012, 02:30 PM
Yeah that's how I end up playing game versions of snooker or pool, sending the cue ball constantly back up and down the table trying to get to all colours. :bow:

LDG
30-04-2012, 02:31 PM
He's got a lot of work to do to win this frame though. Reds not ideally placed.

McNamara That Ghost...
30-04-2012, 02:32 PM
Virgo says it again.

It's up there with 'bumbling idiot'.

LDG
30-04-2012, 02:33 PM
Fuck was that. Awful shot.

Crucible pressure :bow:

McNamara That Ghost...
30-04-2012, 02:33 PM
Carter. :lol:

Cripps was right tbf.

Cripps_orig
30-04-2012, 02:34 PM
Cue ball was actually close to going in that time.

Its when its obvious its going miles wide and he says it, its rather annoying

Cripps_orig
30-04-2012, 02:34 PM
Maybe not

Trump misses the blue off the spot

Carter in and should get some points

30-04-2012, 02:34 PM
Gotta be the safety up behind the yellow and brown?

30-04-2012, 02:36 PM
Yay the balls are going everywhere.

Good safety from Carter

LDG
30-04-2012, 03:00 PM
FAIL

Cripps_orig
30-04-2012, 03:01 PM
And there it is again despite the cue ball slowing up well before the pocket

Cripps_orig
30-04-2012, 03:03 PM
And Trump misses an easy red :popcorn:

LDG
30-04-2012, 03:03 PM
Ewww. Trumps turn to miss one by miles.

Cripps_orig
30-04-2012, 03:04 PM
And Carter misses frame ball

Cripps_orig
30-04-2012, 03:05 PM
Trump misses a long red leaving it easy for Carter which he pots

We're going to a decider

Cripps_orig
30-04-2012, 03:07 PM
That black :lol:

Bet he wishes he could have fluked that when he was going for the 147

12-12 it is

Mandatory loo breaks for all.

Mid-session interval.

It's on. It was just a toilet break presumably.

Cripps_orig
30-04-2012, 03:10 PM
Red up in the bulk area already

Could be a scrappy frame.

No one wants to see a big break winner in the final frame
