Cheese Posted August 15, 2025 Author Posted August 15, 2025 https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/snooker/articles/c39dp0v7ny1o Absolutely fucking incredible. Quote
boogs Posted December 7, 2025 Posted December 7, 2025 Absolutely incredible sequence of events in that last frame. That's what you get for maybe being too honest if your Mark Selby there, but no way he refuses that free ball if he wasn't 4 frames infront. Quote
Alf Hartigan Posted December 8, 2025 Posted December 8, 2025 It was a good watch. Selby went from looking the best player in the world in the afternoon to being a shambles later, missing loads of shots that even I could have potted. Glad he won though. Agreed about that free ball decision he made. Surprised none of the Chinese didn’t further with there being 12 in the tournament. Quote
boogs Posted January 18 Posted January 18 Great final this. Awesome shots equally matched by arse twitching madness. Perfect mix for snooker. Quote

Higgins has had a shocker. Surprised he's got 6 frames. Saying that I'd love him to get back to 9 each and watch a deciding frame. Love this tournament. Quote

Good to see the old guard still competing, would've liked to see him do it. Quote

L/H White Posted April 16 Posted April 16 11 Chinese at the world's this year Always thought snooker has brought little serious talent through for years, as seen by the class of 92 still occupying the top for the rankings for years But the Chinese will no doubt take over Kids in this country are picking up darts now, not snooker cues Quote

Once the Chinese fully take it over, which they will, interest will totally die, within 25 years I'd guess it may disappear altogether from the TV screens in this country, as there will absolutely no appetite to watch it Quote

Like you say, we couldn't play as such, but enjoyed it nonetheless. Relaxed, fairly quiet, and a beer or two. Robbie Savage was in there on one occasion. Propping up the bar, with a pint of mild or Guiness. Quote
Alf Hartigan Posted April 19 Posted April 19 It's my favourite game by a country mile. Think I enjoy watching it as much as football tbh. I am also shit at it and my best break is only 35. And yes, I'd call it a game rather than a sport but not sure that matters, as they both require a level of talent to play. The Chinese are definitely taking over mainly due to sheer numbers playing it, but they're still coming through over here. Judd Trump won't be world number 1 much longer as Zhao Xintong looks to be the new Ronnie, and expect him to win again this year despite looking a bit jittery in his first round win. Saying that, anyone could still come through and win it. After watching his first round watch out for Mark Allen this year. Quote
Alf Hartigan Posted April 20 Posted April 20 What an opening frame by young Stan Moody, a great example of up and coming British and European youngsters, Quote
Dimron Posted Tuesday at 20:48 Posted Tuesday at 20:48 Watching Trump get knocked out by an Iranian made me smile ast night But good stuff from Vafaei, well deserved... he shaded the final session Quote
Alf Hartigan Posted Tuesday at 21:37 Posted Tuesday at 21:37 Every quarter final lined up tasty as fuck for finishing tomorrow. Anyone could win this but I'll stick with my call of Xintong favourite and Allen as the dark horse. Quote
Alf Hartigan Posted Wednesday at 16:18 Posted Wednesday at 16:18 Cracking win for Shaun Murphy beating Xintong. Got to make him favourite now. Quote

Certainly an awful lot of missed shots that have ended up way off, in all games and by top players too. Enjoyable though. Think Yu Wize might win it now. Seems less error prone than the others. Higgins and Robertson are all over the shop in this final quarter final. Edited Wednesday at 22:07 by Alf Hartigan Wu Yize even. Hard work these Chinese names Quote
green genie Posted Thursday at 04:37 Posted Thursday at 04:37 All this whinging about wrong chalk. They should move table up by a wall and give them the gammy 1/2ft cue Quote
