Selby may have fucked it.
Brecel has to take this.
His to lose now. Reds are set up nicely.
Brecel wins it!!! :bow:
Best Belgian in history.
Century break to win it!
Thought he'd fucked it, but not a bad way to win with a century
I actually saw Brecel in the first round, a few mates and me made a pilgrimage to Sheffield to watch a session of the World’s. Hadn’t been before. Have to say he didn’t particularly impress me in the session we saw but he was brilliant after Round 1.
Ronnie about to get knocked out by big fat Bingham.
Thats snooker over for another year
:lol:
I like Ronnie but he is acting like a bit of a child. I haven't been following it that much but am keeping more of an eye on it now we're at the business end.
Someone ate a fly. Interesting.
Did he die? :unsure:
The fly? Yes I expect soQuote:

Utter chaos
:haha:
Oh give us a break :rimshot:
I would also have accepted “give it a rest”
Final a bit one sided. Jokes trying to make a game of it but can’t quite get in to it.
He should have won the last frame last night which would have put him 3 behind but he lost it on the black which makes the gap 5. Needs a good session this afternoon to make it close this evening
Wasn’t a great final really.
Jak Jones got smashed in the first session and tried to make a game of it but never really got close enough. Not great quality really.
Looking like it will be another disappointing final.
Xintong wipes the floor with Williams 7-1 in the first session
Well given it's snooker that was always a 100% certainty :ninja:Quote:

Never watched cricket - has that been fucked? Golf? Remember some tournaments being great, but haven't watched in an age.
Mainly follow rowing now. Now THAT's a man's game! And a woman's - have massive respect for the women in that sport too.
Oh - boxing. Fuck me. What a mess.
It’s a sport - much like tennis - I dip in and out of.Quote:

How so? I think snooker is pretty much unmessupable. You can't have some oi sheik coming in and buying up world titles.Quote:

It did but things have long since moved on from that. I'm not sure how that happened - think they changed the rackets or something.Quote:

But whatever, the old serve volley thing is less prevalent these days and there are more rallys.
And it has the same feature as snooker of being an individual sport so less corruptible in the way football has been
Tennis is another sport I dip in to here and there but enjoy it when I watch it.
Anyway, 11-6 to Xintong at the close of play. Williams just about back in it but needs a good afternoon session tomorrow
Well I watched snooker a while back and there were no fags (which is a major fucking surprise in this day and age) and no beer. Looks like it's gone down hill pretty fast from where I'm watching. Also tuned in the other day and there was a woman ref - so I mean obviously.Quote:

Based on the pub landlord, maybe? A pretty poor imitation though.
Well I don't stack up to you and never claimed I did.Quote:

Obviously the minute I write that Williams then makes a mess of things :lol:
Yep. It’s done.
Shame it wasn’t a better final but Xintong a worthy champion
Shame he’s Chinese really
Because for that reason and that reason alone I’d want him to fail
Well that and the whole match fixing betting thing, but that seems to be tied in with the whole Chinese obsession with gambling thing
Xintong :bow:
