The snooker thread

Can you imagine how much better Luca Brecel could be if he turned himself in to a Trans-Tall Man ! ! !

Luca is swashbuckling the bastard

Luca has swashbuckled Selby into the corner and won all four before the tea break

Leads 13 - 8 now

Selby did " Grind " two back but Brecel won the final two = = A lot depends on how Brecel copes with the actually winning Frame (s)

Brecel should do it but I wouldn't write off Selby completely either.

The final session of this year's crucible is about to start

 

[Coal Gas and peat]

It could get squeaky bum time for sure 16 - 13 at the final tea break

 

[Coal Gas and peat]

Now Luca is playing pure gash and Selby is all over him

 

[Coal Gas and peat]

This has all the hallmarks of a jimmy white level capitulation

 

[Coal Gas and peat]

I successfully envoked the "mockers" to stop the capitulation Luca has him at the edge of the cliff now 17 - 15

 

[Coal Gas and peat]

Congratulations to Luca Brecel on a well deserved world snooker title ......what a 17 days it was ....I think it was the best crucible I have ever seen and I'm watching it from way back

 

[clarke-connolly]

Brecel did well to survive the Grinder = = The Grinder did miss a couple there that let Brecel in = = But when-ever you escape the Grinder = = You deserve to win.

Masters snooker is on........tonight Mark Williams v Ali Carter

 

[Myles O'Reilly]

Because Sir you mentioned Jimmy - presumably White - and then put a video up with Ronnie in the title.

I ain't gonna click on summat and go through 20 secs of Ads when the claimed subject and the title are two different things.

Do you get it now pal?

 

[Myles O'Reilly]

Tell me about White.

Why put a video up about Ronnie???

 

[clarke-connolly]

Jimmy wasn't looking too good when I saw him in this vid. Looks like he has Parkinson's

Jimmy White has lost a lot of weight there ~ Not looking too good ~

Any-one got Jimmy White in the Dead-Pool ? !

Wasn't Ronnie O'Sullivan complaining about the rubbish bins and how grubby Alexander Palace is ~ ~ Maybe it's because Ronnie's parents were from the gutter ? ? ! !

 

[Coal Gas and peat]

Mark Allen fought back from 4-1 down to defeat Selby 6-5

Semi finals tomorrow

Ali carter v Mark Allen
Ronnie O'Sullivan v Shaun Murphy

 

[Myles O'Reilly]

Is Allen proud of being Irish?

 

[Coal Gas and peat]

Is Allen proud of being Irish?

Very much so

 

[clarke-connolly]

Is Allen proud of being Irish?

He is almost half the Man he used to be = = Quite impressive really.

 

[Myles O'Reilly]

He is almost half the Man he used to be = = Quite impressive really.

I remember him saying after he went fatboy slim (lost 5 stone) he has to hold a hot cup of water between his hands when sitting in the chair because the his hands get cold with no fat on them anymore.

Better than holding his Todger in Public I suppose !

 

[clarke-connolly]

Almost identical shot on the first and last black, fair play for getting both

Btw, pardon my ignorance, but is it the first tournament that's had two 147s?

Without checking ~ No ~

147s are pretty regular now ~ Could be for lots of reasons ~ ~ Not as many Kicks these days / slightly bigger pockets / more better players / better chalk / other.

 

[clarke-connolly]

The two Irish lads ( wink wink ) in the semi-final here.

Ronnie flying but then lets Murphy in ~ ~ Murphy badly ( really badly ) fluffs his line and Ronnie is in the Final again ~ ~ I believe that the commentator said that was Ronnie's 14teenth win from 15 semi-finals at the Masters = = Un-Fucking-Believable ! !

[Coal Gas and peat]

The masters final is under way ......Carter has just levelled at 1-1 ... In head to heads since 2001 they have played 18 times , Ronnie winning 17 - 1 .....Carter will have to stick like glue to have any kind of chance , unless of course the rot sets in for Ronnie

 

[Coal Gas and peat]

Shit, Ronnie 17 - 1!

There's been needle between those two as well, hasn't there

Oh yes Carter is definitely on Ronnies list of enemies along with Shaun Murphy

 

[Coal Gas and peat]

Carter has a 5-3 lead going into tonight.......definitely has a chance of his first major

 

[Coal Gas and peat]

Level at 6 - 6 at the final tea break

 

[Coal Gas and peat]

What's it the best of?

I'd watch it but I don't have a source

First to 10 (best of 19)

 

[clarke-connolly]

I'd like to see Carter win this but it ain't easy to beat Ronnie and maybe even more so if Ronnie doesn't like you !

 

[Coal Gas and peat]

Nah, it's just coming up all ads for me (and I did it about twenty times)

https://livingabroad.tv/app/bbc-two

This came up for me

 

[Coal Gas and peat]

As Virgo would say it's gone scrappy

 

[Coal Gas and peat]

I think I only get 5 minutes at a time with that, but Ronnie missed and Carter probably going to go 8-7, am I up to date?

8-7 to Ronnie

 

[Coal Gas and peat]

Oh, just now?

I can delete cookies and get another 5 minutes. So Ronnie just eh, toilet breaked about 2 mins ago, am I watching it live?

Ronnie at the table one red potted

 

[clarke-connolly]

Ronnie's kids are the spit of him.

Grumpy then !

 

[Coal Gas and peat]

I think you could call that shot a reverse plant
