i got sucked in too, switched on to see williams polish him off but no! ugly ken is fucking him up, forcing sloppy errors etc, classic stuff

dud is the commentators trying to attribute doherty with the "man utd influence"

is that the conway hall thing you went to?

Is there anyone in the county cheering Mark Williams on? I can't think of a less appealing sportsman. And what's with the doublechin he's developing? Is he on the Stephen Lee diet or something?

i find snooker strangely nice to watch on TV when there's nothing else on...i am such an old man its a little scary

― stevem (blueski), Monday, 5 May 2003 18:56 (twenty-one years ago) link

nah, steve, when you start watching bowls, that's when you'll feel old!

― jel -- (jel), Monday, 5 May 2003 19:23 (twenty-one years ago) link

come on Ken!

― Ronan (Ronan), Monday, 5 May 2003 20:09 (twenty-one years ago) link

I got really sucked into a couple of games earlier this week. It's the same with darts and bowls. Give me an unathletic game for two hours and I'll watch it forever.

― RickyT (RickyT), Monday, 5 May 2003 20:23 (twenty-one years ago) link

Come on Ken! F'ing Mark Williams: "oh, he's a character". I swear if Steve Davis talks about 'characters' one more time, Hazel Irvine about Man Utd's influence on Ken or (f'ing) SPORTS PSYCHOLOGY or John Parrot BREATHES once more. I swear!!!

COME ON KEN!

― Cozen (Cozen), Monday, 5 May 2003 20:26 (twenty-one years ago) link

Tha guy who has been talking to Steve (Davis) and Ken (as a panel) about SPORTS PSYCHOLOGY (ie body language etc) is REALLY annoying (like me).

I just asked my li'l bro why he keeps saying "oooh, Ken's missed... come on Mark..." - apparently, he is "bamming me up". Fair do's.

What happened to the Sunday Night Final Climax? That was an INSTITUTION.

― Starry (Cozen), Monday, 5 May 2003 20:31 (twenty-one years ago) link

nothing must be allowed to run over 24...they actually cancelled 24 for one week because of the fucking golf a month or so ago, that was bad enough

― stevem (blueski), Monday, 5 May 2003 20:37 (twenty-one years ago) link

What happened to the Sunday Night Final Climax? That was an INSTITUTION.

Surely it's finished on a May Day BH Monday for ages?

Cor, 17-16... must watch exciting finish in bed. (Last year Pam fell asleep midway through 35th frame...)

― Michael Jones (MichaelJ), Monday, 5 May 2003 21:05 (twenty-one years ago) link

just finished. mark 18-16

― Julio Desouza (jdesouza), Monday, 5 May 2003 21:16 (twenty-one years ago) link

shame, feel sorry for Ken, but Williams seems a funny chap and pretty decent.

― Ronan (Ronan), Monday, 5 May 2003 21:17 (twenty-one years ago) link

great match: i wished ken won really. Mark has been the best player. he trashed everybody on the way to the final and is world no1. and he knocked stephen hendry out so he's fine with me.

''is that the conway hall thing you went to?''

yup.

― Julio Desouza (jdesouza), Monday, 5 May 2003 21:19 (twenty-one years ago) link

I always liked him. < /back-track>. haha, no, yeah, he did come off as a nice guy... More power to him and all that...

― Cozen (Cozen), Monday, 5 May 2003 21:20 (twenty-one years ago) link

yeah, after his comeback in the semis i thought his name was on the trophy. oh well, it was a good game, and i quite like williams, too.

― weasel diesel (K1l14n), Monday, 5 May 2003 21:20 (twenty-one years ago) link

I'm a right tool when it comes to snooker though (like most things, I suppose) in that I really like Stephen Hendry and really hate (HATE!) Ronnie O'Sullivan.

― Cozen (Cozen), Monday, 5 May 2003 21:23 (twenty-one years ago) link

I like ronnie and i don't hate stephen (though many do) BUT i don't want him to win more world titles.

― Julio Desouza (jdesouza), Monday, 5 May 2003 21:36 (twenty-one years ago) link

Ronnie O'Sullivan makes me think of the pig's head, goading me, making me stupid.

― RickyT (RickyT), Monday, 5 May 2003 21:39 (twenty-one years ago) link

wah! ronnie is great and should win more world titles. you are just jealous of his talent. bunch of hataz!

― Julio Desouza (jdesouza), Monday, 5 May 2003 21:41 (twenty-one years ago) link

ppl hate ronnie cos he's an arrogant prick, but yes, he is entertaining.

― weasel diesel (K1l14n), Monday, 5 May 2003 22:17 (twenty-one years ago) link

Ronnie O'Sullivan is like a modern day Michael Corleone.

― Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Monday, 5 May 2003 22:29 (twenty-one years ago) link

come on Jimmy!

― stevem (blueski), Tuesday, 6 May 2003 01:05 (twenty-one years ago) link

Reserve your hatred for John Parrott. Supposed to be funny, but just comes across as self-absorbed, unnatural on TV and, dare I say it, blown away by Steve Davis in terms of TV presentation.

― Daniel (dancity), Tuesday, 6 May 2003 16:59 (twenty-one years ago) link

We need better snooker coverage here in the states. The kids don't even know how it works here.

― teeny (teeny), Tuesday, 6 May 2003 17:03 (twenty-one years ago) link

Wot no Cabbage?

I enjoyed 'Frame Academy' very much indeed. It put the 'OO' back into snooker for a few minutes, especially Steve Davis's elasticated balls.

I also enjoyed the odd glimpse of Terry Griffiths.

― PJ Miller (PJ Miller), Wednesday, 7 May 2003 08:39 (twenty years ago) link

R O'Sullivan is signing his books in Borders round the corner from me tonight, and his lingerie emporium is v.near where I work. It's Ronnie's world, I just live in it.

― Tico Tico (Tico Tico), Wednesday, 7 May 2003 09:06 (twenty years ago) link

Ronnie O'Sullivan is everything.

― Alex K (Alex K), Wednesday, 7 May 2003 09:52 (twenty years ago) link

nine months pass...

bum-di-bum-bum-bump!

o'sullivan vs hunter 8:7 ...and 4 more to go, eh? or less, meh?
(it is live on eurosport, innit?)

...the masters...

― t\'\'t (t\'\'t), Sunday, 8 February 2004 22:33 (twenty years ago) link

what is with these dudes' hair??

― teeny (teeny), Sunday, 8 February 2004 22:37 (twenty years ago) link

and o'sullivan kinda looks like nick cave.

― teeny (teeny), Sunday, 8 February 2004 22:41 (twenty years ago) link

uuu-mmm... not quite

― t\'\'t (t\'\'t), Sunday, 8 February 2004 22:43 (twenty years ago) link

sorry, I'm just peeved they don't carry this in america.

― teeny (teeny), Sunday, 8 February 2004 22:44 (twenty years ago) link

oh, it's now 9:7 to o'mullivann...

― t\'\'t (t\'\'t), Sunday, 8 February 2004 22:47 (twenty years ago) link

I've not watched snooker for a while. What's happened to O'Sullivan's bowlcut?

Also these are a couple of sexy shits, eh?

― Eyeball Kicks (Eyeball Kicks), Sunday, 8 February 2004 22:54 (twenty years ago) link

I mean, I imagine someone making smartass comments, esp about the blond one...

― Eyeball Kicks (Eyeball Kicks), Sunday, 8 February 2004 22:56 (twenty years ago) link

But if it was a foul leading to a free-ball in some dim alleyway, I bet you'd force him to play again, eh?

― Eyeball Kicks (Eyeball Kicks), Sunday, 8 February 2004 22:57 (twenty years ago) link

Whatever.

They're both pretty great.

― Eyeball Kicks (Eyeball Kicks), Sunday, 8 February 2004 22:57 (twenty years ago) link

Ew. Hunter looks about twelve and has one of David Beckhams's old haircuts. This does not sexy make :(

(xpost)

O'Sullivan's post-therapy interviews are a mind-boggling wonder of pop-psychology-speak (well, the only one I saw this week anyway).

― ailsa (ailsa), Sunday, 8 February 2004 22:59 (twenty years ago) link

...9:8 now, with 18th under way

― t\'\'t (t\'\'t), Sunday, 8 February 2004 23:00 (twenty years ago) link

Ain't that entertainment -- 9:9, uhhhhh!

― t\'\'t (t\'\'t), Sunday, 8 February 2004 23:29 (twenty years ago) link

That was some red, eh?

― Eyeball Kicks (Eyeball Kicks), Sunday, 8 February 2004 23:42 (twenty years ago) link

This could be Hunter's chance now, I reckon.

― ailsa (ailsa), Sunday, 8 February 2004 23:44 (twenty years ago) link

We should commentate. You be Willie Thorne.

― Eyeball Kicks (Eyeball Kicks), Sunday, 8 February 2004 23:44 (twenty years ago) link

Reading Dott's wiki page:

Dott supports Rangers[62] and paraded his World Championship trophy at Ibrox, their home ground, during half-time of Rangers' final league match against Hearts on 7 May 2006.

― xyzzzz__, Wednesday, 1 May 2024 13:17 (five days ago) link

Ronnie was just getting going when he got to 8-6.

Bingham produced a century and a 82 break. 8-8. Should be a cracker tonight

― xyzzzz__, Wednesday, 1 May 2024 16:38 (five days ago) link

shame i missed the finale of Trump vs Jones, the last few frames last night were great

― Bitchin Doutai (Noodle Vague), Wednesday, 1 May 2024 16:40 (five days ago) link

ah fkn telt ye

― LaMDA barry-stanners (||||||||), Wednesday, 1 May 2024 20:03 (five days ago) link

Yup

― xyzzzz__, Wednesday, 1 May 2024 20:04 (five days ago) link

Been watching Bingham Ronnie its been terrific but Bingham is just pulling away now. 12 - 10

― xyzzzz__, Wednesday, 1 May 2024 20:05 (five days ago) link

bingham’s cooking

― LaMDA barry-stanners (||||||||), Wednesday, 1 May 2024 20:06 (five days ago) link

Omg..

― xyzzzz__, Wednesday, 1 May 2024 20:21 (five days ago) link

Just came here to post that, holy shit this frame

― Bitchin Doutai (Noodle Vague), Wednesday, 1 May 2024 20:25 (five days ago) link

Awesome ending, fucking hell

― xyzzzz__, Wednesday, 1 May 2024 20:28 (five days ago) link

just a little bit gutted we didn't get more but by rights Ronnie should never have had a shout in that last one

― Bitchin Doutai (Noodle Vague), Wednesday, 1 May 2024 20:30 (five days ago) link

6-6 Wilson Gilbert. Can't be separated

― xyzzzz__, Friday, 3 May 2024 10:38 (three days ago) link

hard to dislike a player with the nickname "The Angry Farmer"

― Critique of the Goth Programme (Neil S), Friday, 3 May 2024 10:57 (three days ago) link

Looks like Wilson has broken the back of this match 13-9

Not done anything special as Gilbert has stopped playing.

― xyzzzz__, Friday, 3 May 2024 20:37 (three days ago) link

huge frame for gilbert that

― LaMDA barry-stanners (||||||||), Friday, 3 May 2024 21:07 (three days ago) link

Jak Jones 10-9 up. Bingham missed a black off the spot

― xyzzzz__, Saturday, 4 May 2024 10:29 (two days ago) link

11-9. Another missed black off tge spot!

― xyzzzz__, Saturday, 4 May 2024 10:53 (two days ago) link

Bingham was on the brink till that century.

He has got to cut out the silly errors tonight

― xyzzzz__, Saturday, 4 May 2024 13:09 (two days ago) link

Think Wilson will win this with ease and so far its proved to be: 4-0

― xyzzzz__, Sunday, 5 May 2024 13:44 (yesterday) link

not the final we might've hoped so far

― Bitchin Doutai (Noodle Vague), Sunday, 5 May 2024 14:24 (yesterday) link

Utter annihilation.

Jak is an excellent player but next to no experience. Its showing

― xyzzzz__, Sunday, 5 May 2024 14:35 (yesterday) link

massacre

― LaMDA barry-stanners (||||||||), Sunday, 5 May 2024 14:35 (yesterday) link

They are really over criticising Jak for not coming to the practice table at the mid session.

Whreas I am thinking he should be trying to get Kyren involved in a safety session (I've seen one opportunity squandered)

Anyway never seen 7-0 in a world final before (been watching since '93/4)

― xyzzzz__, Sunday, 5 May 2024 14:40 (yesterday) link

Ok hes off: 7-1

― xyzzzz__, Sunday, 5 May 2024 14:53 (yesterday) link

Wasn't Taylor 8-0 down after the first session the year he won?

― groovypanda, Sunday, 5 May 2024 16:10 (yesterday) link

Yup

― xyzzzz__, Sunday, 5 May 2024 17:42 (yesterday) link

Kyren let Jak off the hook there. Still 10-5 down but that could've been it.

― xyzzzz__, Sunday, 5 May 2024 20:42 (yesterday) link

10-7 would be really bad for KW here

― LaMDA barry-stanners (||||||||), Sunday, 5 May 2024 20:55 (yesterday) link

Black ball fellas

― xyzzzz__, Sunday, 5 May 2024 21:15 (yesterday) link

turning into a match this

― LaMDA barry-stanners (||||||||), Sunday, 5 May 2024 21:15 (yesterday) link

Wow @ this frame

― xyzzzz__, Sunday, 5 May 2024 21:19 (yesterday) link

Yeah, crazy climax

― Bitchin Doutai (Noodle Vague), Sunday, 5 May 2024 21:22 (yesterday) link

heist

― LaMDA barry-stanners (||||||||), Sunday, 5 May 2024 21:22 (yesterday) link

Final might've peaked here I thinm

― xyzzzz__, Sunday, 5 May 2024 21:23 (yesterday) link

At least it was a bit of a match

― xyzzzz__, Sunday, 5 May 2024 21:24 (yesterday) link

Jak has won 2/3 frames this morning

― xyzzzz__, Monday, 6 May 2024 13:09 (three hours ago) link

Bad break off, Kyren clears up. 13-8

If they share the next four probably won't be worth watching tonight

― xyzzzz__, Monday, 6 May 2024 13:22 (two hours ago) link

if Virgo does his "where's the cue ball going?" shtick one more time i'm putting my foot thru the TV

― Bitchin Doutai (Noodle Vague), Monday, 6 May 2024 13:56 (two hours ago) link

Just not convinced by Kyren. Should've made Jak pay for a stupid pink. Didn't. 13-9

xp - Virgo is such a cunt. Also just shouts stuff. Peolple witb headphones in the audience just laugh at this nonsense.

― xyzzzz__, Monday, 6 May 2024 13:57 (two hours ago) link

i would say neither of these lads has shown consistent mental resilience in the final but here we are

― Bitchin Doutai (Noodle Vague), Monday, 6 May 2024 14:01 (two hours ago) link

Yeah probably the worst quality final since Dott - Ebdon

― xyzzzz__, Monday, 6 May 2024 14:05 (two hours ago) link

big frame for Jones that

― Bitchin Doutai (Noodle Vague), Monday, 6 May 2024 14:12 (two hours ago) link

Yup. Could've easily been 15-8. Its 13-10

― xyzzzz__, Monday, 6 May 2024 14:13 (two hours ago) link

Find it hard to fully get behind someone called Jak tbh.

― I've left the box of soup near your shoes (Tom D.), Monday, 6 May 2024 14:18 (two hours ago) link

Kyren in first again..

― xyzzzz__, Monday, 6 May 2024 14:21 (one hour ago) link

14-10. Jak surely has to win this final frame of the session

― xyzzzz__, Monday, 6 May 2024 14:34 (one hour ago) link

Oh dear. Jak is done I think. Black off the spot

― xyzzzz__, Monday, 6 May 2024 14:50 (one hour ago) link

Had another chance. Missed the yellow. Fucking shit really.

Kyren is a v lucky man.

― xyzzzz__, Monday, 6 May 2024 14:54 (one hour ago) link

it’s GGs
