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.

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.

Ronnie O'Sullivan is everything.

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

I'm thingy from the Jim Davidson show. With the beard.

― Eyeball Kicks (Eyeball Kicks), Sunday, 8 February 2004 23:45 (twenty years ago) link

I don't think Hunter can win the frame at this visit.

― Eyeball Kicks (Eyeball Kicks), Sunday, 8 February 2004 23:45 (twenty years ago) link

What will he do here?

― Eyeball Kicks (Eyeball Kicks), Sunday, 8 February 2004 23:45 (twenty years ago) link

Not bad. Nothing left on here.

― Eyeball Kicks (Eyeball Kicks), Sunday, 8 February 2004 23:46 (twenty years ago) link

Lots of balls near the cushions (I'm plagiarising here).

― Eyeball Kicks (Eyeball Kicks), Sunday, 8 February 2004 23:46 (twenty years ago) link

What does that mean, Willie?

― Eyeball Kicks (Eyeball Kicks), Sunday, 8 February 2004 23:47 (twenty years ago) link

WHAT A MISS!

― Eyeball Kicks (Eyeball Kicks), Sunday, 8 February 2004 23:47 (twenty years ago) link

HE'S LEFT IT!

― Eyeball Kicks (Eyeball Kicks), Sunday, 8 February 2004 23:47 (twenty years ago) link

MATCH-WINNING CHANCE!

― Eyeball Kicks (Eyeball Kicks), Sunday, 8 February 2004 23:47 (twenty years ago) link

THE BLONDE GIRL COVERS EYES!

― Eyeball Kicks (Eyeball Kicks), Sunday, 8 February 2004 23:48 (twenty years ago) link

NEEDS A KISS! HE'S GOT THE KISS!

― Eyeball Kicks (Eyeball Kicks), Sunday, 8 February 2004 23:48 (twenty years ago) link

Well done that kid :)

― ailsa (ailsa), Sunday, 8 February 2004 23:48 (twenty years ago) link

paul wins.

― Julio Desouza (jdesouza), Sunday, 8 February 2004 23:48 (twenty years ago) link

IT'S OVER!

RONNIE'S "BIT HIS TIP OFF"!

― Eyeball Kicks (Eyeball Kicks), Sunday, 8 February 2004 23:49 (twenty years ago) link

SEXY SHITS!

― Eyeball Kicks (Eyeball Kicks), Sunday, 8 February 2004 23:50 (twenty years ago) link

Is Paul Hunter the guy who always goes on about shagging his girlfriend in the mid-session breaks?

(xpost - that "biting off his tip" made me laugh a bit. New relaxed therapied Ronnie seemed to not care at all that he lost)

― ailsa (ailsa), Sunday, 8 February 2004 23:50 (twenty years ago) link

a helluva mutha of a match

― t\'\'t (t\'\'t), Sunday, 8 February 2004 23:52 (twenty years ago) link

He looks like N. had N. been at the peroxide.

(he has just made a reference to shagging his woman)

― ailsa (ailsa), Sunday, 8 February 2004 23:53 (twenty years ago) link

haha well the first time he won this (against fergal o'brien) he was 6-2 behind in the break and he did let out post-match interview that his manager allowed his gf in the dressing room in the break (he won that match 10-9). I'm not sure whether they did it again today, think he was joking this time because he didn't play badly, just that ronnie was perfect in that first session (paul hunter won those two frames with century breaks).

― Julio Desouza (jdesouza), Sunday, 8 February 2004 23:58 (twenty years ago) link

two months pass...

revive!

Go on ronnie!!! He's just won the first four frames of the second session in 42 mins (he so totally deserves to be called 'the rocket').

two eighty breaks and a century and he's 10-2 up.

― Julio Desouza (jdesouza), Friday, 30 April 2004 13:44 (twenty years ago) link

I wish i was at home watching this :(

― Julio Desouza (jdesouza), Friday, 30 April 2004 13:45 (twenty years ago) link

I wish I was home tomorrow to keep watching this.

― t\'\'t (t\'\'t), Friday, 30 April 2004 20:54 (twenty years ago) link

Real pleasures of watching snooker revealed:

Heh heh heh.

― William Bloody Swygart (mrswygart), Friday, 30 April 2004 21:08 (twenty years ago) link

john parrot gets bitterer every year! i'm lovin dott's spoiler style, a final with him and ronnie might be fascinating. alternatively dott might get utterly blown away but hey

― prima fassy (mwah), Friday, 30 April 2004 21:36 (twenty years ago) link

Dott'd be that much of an outsider that maybe... just, maybe...

And why has Dominic Dale suddenly vanished from the commentary team? Dennis Taylor is starting to irk me a bit...

Worst thing about Parrott - his tips segment, where he teaches Stan Boardman to play snooker. Fucking hell.

― William Bloody Swygart (mrswygart), Friday, 30 April 2004 21:40 (twenty years ago) link

dott has a small throat.

'when I won the championship back in 1991...'

come on hendry.

YEAH I SAID IT.

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 (six hours ago) link

Kyren in first again..

― xyzzzz__, Monday, 6 May 2024 14:21 (six hours ago) link

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

― xyzzzz__, Monday, 6 May 2024 14:34 (six hours ago) link

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

― xyzzzz__, Monday, 6 May 2024 14:50 (six hours ago) link

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

Kyren is a v lucky man.

― xyzzzz__, Monday, 6 May 2024 14:54 (six hours ago) link

it’s GGs

― LaMDA barry-stanners (||||||||), Monday, 6 May 2024 14:55 (six hours ago) link

Jones looks absolutely gone and this shd be finished already but

― Bitchin Doutai (Noodle Vague), Monday, 6 May 2024 18:48 (two hours ago) link

What a crazy frame that was.

― Dan Worsley, Monday, 6 May 2024 18:58 (two hours ago) link

vintage stuff this

― LaMDA barry-stanners (||||||||), Monday, 6 May 2024 19:12 (two hours ago) link

― LaMDA barry-stanners (||||||||), Monday, 6 May 2024 19:16 (one hour ago) link

^retweet

― LaMDA barry-stanners (||||||||), Monday, 6 May 2024 19:22 (one hour ago) link

WTF did I just watch. Crazy stuff.

― Dan Worsley, Monday, 6 May 2024 19:23 (one hour ago) link

Glad I stopped watching

― xyzzzz__, Monday, 6 May 2024 19:29 (one hour ago) link

just spotted andy haldane in the crowd (BBC scotland unfunnyman des clarke there too)

― LaMDA barry-stanners (||||||||), Monday, 6 May 2024 20:05 (one hour ago) link

Just a carnival of poor decisions this match

― Bitchin Doutai (Noodle Vague), Monday, 6 May 2024 20:33 (forty minutes ago) link

Another poor decision. Switched it back on and Jak is pkaying so fluently now, why not there isn't much to play for.

17-14

― xyzzzz__, Monday, 6 May 2024 20:39 (thirty-five minutes ago) link

Almost expecting Jones to throw the frame away for a second

― Bitchin Doutai (Noodle Vague), Monday, 6 May 2024 20:47 (twenty-six minutes ago) link

that black over the pocket was abysmal from kyren. he should be up the road by now

― LaMDA barry-stanners (||||||||), Monday, 6 May 2024 20:54 (twenty minutes ago) link

Hopefully somebody in the crowd knows the Heimlich

― Bitchin Doutai (Noodle Vague), Monday, 6 May 2024 20:54 (nineteen minutes ago) link

finally

― Bitchin Doutai (Noodle Vague), Monday, 6 May 2024 21:03 (ten minutes ago) link

some break to finish to be fair

― LaMDA barry-stanners (||||||||), Monday, 6 May 2024 21:05 (eight minutes ago) link

playing against himself for every pot nearly, but fair enough in the circumstances really

― Bitchin Doutai (Noodle Vague), Monday, 6 May 2024 21:07 (six minutes ago) link

Such a limp to a world title. But he has been in the final before..
