Joe Swail!!

Snookers mr nice guy, had a couple of semi final losses i think over the years

Big fan of Joe. I remember he beat Dungannon's Paddy Wallace in the quarters in 2001 then Ronnie beat him handy enough in the semi final. Joe always was just outside the real elite level of the game.

He needed that killer streak
None of us are getting out of here alive, so please stop treating yourself like an after thought. Ea

Out of interest, what's your highest break?

I got a 40 once. Missed a black to make it 47.

Haven't a clue, those boys on TV make it look so easy. If I were to pott three in a row I'd be panicking.
Joe had a good run right enough. Everyone thought his semi final appearance was a bit of a fluke and then he did it again a year or two later

I managed a 38 break a few years back somehow. The cue ball was certainly not under control for the majority of it. Anyone played much 9 ball pool? Was playing a right bit before lockdown but it's a great game. And the big pockets certainly helps!

Selby through 13-12 in a tight epic battle against noppon saengkham

Great match, Selby far from his best but that young Thai boy was good.

I coldn't cope on the full size snooker table at all. The cues are long and skinny and I was happy enough to hit the reds at all let alone pot a ball. I am quite handy on the small pool tables though.

I wanna have my kicks before the whole shithouse goes up in flames.

Got a bit heated between Anthony mcgill and Jamie Clarke, the referee had to step in and try to calm things down when mcgill accused Clarke of deliberately standing in his eye line. Not often you see confrontation between players in snooker.

Not since Alex threatened to have Dennis shot!!

Selby can be a narky boy too. Hoping for a digging session in this championship. Looking good so far.
