snooker world championship

I wonder will the chickens come home to roost?

Well spotted Rufus - the deliberate mistake I mean.   

I suppose your enjoyment of any television sport is relative to how much you actually like the game.


I really do get the mental strength needed for this particular tournament and I think Selby was absolutely drained at the end.

I think he knew he wasn't fit for much more as Ding was coming back strong and only for Selby's flying start, Ding would have won.

Ding deserved to win because he played the better snooker throughout the whole tournament.


Selby dragged the game right down to a slow level Ding had not been used to and it worked.


This year a lot of players fell way behind in the first couple of sessions and there was no way back despite some valiant efforts.

He seems to have relaxed a bit afterwards.

Stick to the snooker son.

What do you make of the lad Mark Allen? Watched him with Davis earlier and he's hard to warm to.

He's opinionated to say the least. Always having a go at Barry Hearn.

Shaun Murphys shot now that was something else.

[ONeill]

Yep, caught most of it. Did Davis start on the offensive - as in you're not really a top level player? The comment about the oul lad on the side of the road not having 'long left' was a bit dickish

Ronnie, on the other hand, is trying hard to show that snooker isn't all that important in his life. I think that's his only way of coping.

I'm completely bored to death of Ronnie saying he hates snooker, well feck off ya dick

[ONeill]

Selby looks like a Disney villain.

Donegal fan in the front row. Does Higgins have Donegal connections?

I've never really warmed to Higgins since that whole match fixing episode. Anybody clued up enough on snooker to know the ins and outs of it, was he up to his neck in it or not?

[ONeill]

Higgins lucky it's bedtime.

As much as I support any Irishman playing mark Allen is a knob.
Higgins is a decent fella as is Selby but love to see Higgins do it.  Must have been some price at the start of the tournament
