Inshallah Ali will make this competitive

McNamara That Ghost...
06-05-2012, 08:44 PM
Carter needs to be brave. Trick shot most of the reds in.

? whats this about and whats the black and yellow ball about?

It's half-white, it just appears yellow.

And it's just something they do the on the practice tables so you can see how the ball spins.

Dennis Bendtner
06-05-2012, 08:52 PM
I noticed for a few colour pots the player seems to tell the ref what colour they're going for (and she repeats it). What's that about? You don't need to nominate colour do you?

Rors
06-05-2012, 08:52 PM
*eyes time nervously*

Come on lads, time to 'Big Break'-final-round this one now...

McNamara That Ghost...

You do sometimes (I think some of the time it's when you don't intend to pot but not sure about the other times). Anyway you could get lucky, pot a different colour and it wouldn't be called a foul.

You do indeed. That's how the ref knows how to call a foul if necessary should they miss the 'ball on'

Come on Ali

'Pot Black' :bow:

McNamara That Ghost...

That's not good practice missing the black off the spot, again.

Cripps_orig
06-05-2012, 08:57 PM
2 frames to go

25 minutes to do them in

Dennis Bendtner
06-05-2012, 09:00 PM
right

so is it a foul if you hit any ball other than the non-nominated one, then?

This is why the Asian Clique should stick to cricket.

Rors
06-05-2012, 09:02 PM

You have to hit the nominated ball first. If you don't do that, points off.

McNamara That Ghost...
06-05-2012, 09:04 PM
:haha:

Who nudged the table?

Rors
06-05-2012, 09:04 PM
HA! Now that took a while to drop.. Carter must have stomped his foot down.

Cripps_orig
06-05-2012, 09:04 PM
Wtf, it dropped?

Stupid camera missed it

BBC shocker

Dennis Bendtner

Rors
06-05-2012, 09:07 PM
Carter wins the percentages game for a change.

McNamara That Ghost...
06-05-2012, 09:08 PM
He misses the black yet again.

Cripps_orig
06-05-2012, 09:08 PM
Another black missed off the spot

Rors
06-05-2012, 09:08 PM
..and then misses the black off the spot again :lol: Just go to sleep Al

Rors

Ronnie pelting through this break. He wants to be back in time for MOTD as well :bow:

McNamara That Ghost...
06-05-2012, 09:11 PM
Three minutes in and already gone over 50 points.

:wacko:

McNamara That Ghost...
06-05-2012, 09:12 PM
End of the break but in that burst he has probably sealed the frame.

Cripps_orig
06-05-2012, 09:13 PM
Carter in now

Will be tricky to win it though

Reds are awkward

McNamara That Ghost...
06-05-2012, 09:14 PM
He potted the black. :o

McNamara That Ghost...
06-05-2012, 09:16 PM
:haha:

Stunning from Ronnie.

McNamara That Ghost...
06-05-2012, 09:17 PM
And now Ronnie gets lucky. :lol:

McNamara That Ghost...
06-05-2012, 09:19 PM
Carter neglects the pot.

McNamara That Ghost...
06-05-2012, 09:21 PM
Carter is definitely snookered here.

McNamara That Ghost...
06-05-2012, 09:22 PM
Foul time. :bow:

Cripps_orig
06-05-2012, 09:23 PM
Carter misses and needs a snooker

McNamara That Ghost...
06-05-2012, 09:25 PM
I don't think this will finish before MotD.

Olivier's xmas twist
06-05-2012, 09:25 PM
MOTD Time now, how many frames left?

McNamara That Ghost...
06-05-2012, 09:26 PM
Ronnie leads 10-6.

:bow:

Rors
06-05-2012, 09:27 PM
10-6. Think Carter has to win this last frame now

Cripps_orig
06-05-2012, 09:27 PM

Great pot from Ronnie.

Carter misses a red down the cushion

McNamara That Ghost...
06-05-2012, 09:40 PM
Carter just isn't with it.

McNamara That Ghost...
06-05-2012, 09:50 PM
Carter fails at the crucial moment again. Ronnie sinks the first post superbly.

McNamara That Ghost...
06-05-2012, 09:50 PM
Although now Carter is back in. :lol:

McNamara That Ghost...
06-05-2012, 09:51 PM
Carter flukes one. :doh:

Cripps_orig
06-05-2012, 09:51 PM
Carter flukes one and will win the frame barring snookers

Definite now

10-7

McNamara That Ghost...
06-05-2012, 09:51 PM
10-7.

On to tomorrow. :popcorn:

'mon Ronnie!

Syn
07-05-2012, 01:36 PM
When it's tight and still going 'til late, it's basically a British tradition that everyone tunes in. Even randomers that don't know the rules.

It's almost as good as Curling.

I'm hoping within the first frame...

McNamara That Ghost...
07-05-2012, 01:45 PM
Ronnie couldn't be any closer to fouling on the yellow. :lol:

McNamara That Ghost...
07-05-2012, 01:45 PM

Third frame in.

This frame might have already gone for Carter.

11-7. Just a case of whether it's a century break. :wacko:

McNamara That Ghost...
07-05-2012, 01:50 PM
Break of 101. Shits a century out first frame of the session.

Syn
07-05-2012, 01:52 PM
:unsure:

I like them both the same amount.

Rors
07-05-2012, 01:53 PM

Carter. :rose:

This could be over by 5pm.

Rors
07-05-2012, 02:00 PM
Now come on Carter. Actually do something rather than just a tentative stab that ends up hitting a stray red full-ball and leaving it over the pocket....

Rors
07-05-2012, 02:01 PM
Where's Daphne? :bow:

Keppel might be around for the evening session....

McNamara That Ghost...
07-05-2012, 02:02 PM
Though only for the cucumber sandwiches I suspect.

Carter has a chance in this frame. :o Well if he can actually position the cue ball.

Rors
07-05-2012, 02:03 PM
For crying out loud Carter. Pink off the spot blobbed. Just concede man.

McNamara That Ghost...
07-05-2012, 02:03 PM
Carter. :haha:

He pubbed another one.

:lol:

He's been avoiding it the last couple of days.

McNamara That Ghost...
07-05-2012, 02:15 PM
I think he is worried about giving the impression it isn't a natural reaction.

Also, reds everywhere. :scarf:

Rors
07-05-2012, 02:16 PM
Come on Carter, these reds are a godsend....

McNamara That Ghost...

17th best in the world? He's probably not even the 17th best in the room.

07-05-2012, 02:21 PM
Carter has another chance now, although I don't see the point.

Rors
07-05-2012, 02:26 PM
Okay, i think we can start asking a question or two now....

McNamara That Ghost...
07-05-2012, 02:27 PM
Then again he is playing Carter.

McNamara That Ghost...
07-05-2012, 02:28 PM
It's all about line and length.

Wrong sport, Virgo.

Dennis Bendtner
07-05-2012, 02:31 PM
Carter is having a shocker. Hope he doesn't do the Ebdon and take 5 minutes a shot now.

McNamara That Ghost...
07-05-2012, 02:33 PM
Carter should see if he can play on the kids table instead.

If there's a ball on every spot (i.e. some reds on there as well) where does a colour ball go when you've potted it?

McNamara That Ghost...
07-05-2012, 02:38 PM

As close as it can possibly go to its own spot, I think.

Syn
07-05-2012, 02:39 PM
As close as it can possibly go to its own spot, I think.

I see.

In pub rules it's always: "yeah just stick it anywhere behind the line.

07-05-2012, 02:41 PM
Noooo!

Oh it's alright it's only Ray Carter.

McNamara That Ghost...
07-05-2012, 02:41 PM
Pub rules are better.

Carter has a chance of nabbing this frame though he probably needs to clear up. :rose:

Syn
07-05-2012, 02:45 PM
:haha:

What awful positioning to end up that far away from the yellow.

McNamara That Ghost...
07-05-2012, 02:45 PM
:lol:

What a dick. The yellow is safe though.

Rors

McNamara That Ghost...
07-05-2012, 04:28 PM
Ronnie 74-0 up, still a few reds on the tabel but on the base of the table. Carter has come to the table but really this should be Ronnie's frame.

Found this on Wiki...

'When he first displayed this left-handed ability in the 1996 World Championship against Alain Robidoux, the Canadian accused him of disrespect. O'Sullivan responded that he played better with his left hand than Robidoux could with his right.[182] O'Sullivan was summoned to a disciplinary hearing in response to Robidoux's formal complaint, where he had to prove that he could play to a high level with his left hand. He played three frames of snooker against former world championship runner-up Rex Williams, winning all three. The charge of bringing the game into disrepute was subsequently dropped'

Shaun Murphy v Mark Selby in the final. Murphy won a great semi v Carter coming back from 8-4 down. Selby beat Mark Davis comfortably enough 9-4

09-12-2012, 02:39 PM
Final on now. Selby is back as world number 1 regardless of the result today but he'll want to win as he doesn't want to be regarded as the snooker version of a Female Tennis number 1 as he hasn't won either of the 2 big tournaments yet

2-2 at the interval. Decent match

First session ended 4-4. Murphy takes a 5-4 lead after a brilliant clearance from 67-0 down considering there were reds, yellow and the pink all safe so to clear up from there was one of the best I've seen

09-12-2012, 09:52 PM
