stevem (blueski), Sunday, 8 February 2004 22:39 (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

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.

cozen (Cozen), Saturday, 1 May 2004 06:18 (twenty years ago) link

dennis taylor + john parrott are ok.

john virgo must die. he'd whinge even if he goes to heaven "ooh that's not that cloud i'd put myself on.."

ian mccolloch should have won, or david gray.

ken c (ken c), Saturday, 1 May 2004 07:25 (twenty years ago) link

o'sullivan just finished hendry off 17-4. I quite like to see Dott in the final but it may not matter who gets there.

O'sullivan has rarely got it consistently together, playing to his full potential as he has in the last two rounds, blowing away anthony hamilton and hendry with a session to spare.

Julio Desouza (jdesouza), Saturday, 1 May 2004 10:02 (twenty years ago) link

: (

this boy's good.

cozen (Cozen), Saturday, 1 May 2004 11:25 (twenty years ago) link

Does anyone else think Hazel Irvine the finest woman on Earth?

Not Steve Davis, Saturday, 1 May 2004 13:02 (twenty years ago) link

Oh, for crying out loud, Dott-Stevens just went off the air at 16-15 with just four balls left on the table and an immense safety battle developing in frame 32. I was watching the live coverage on BBCi (ch701 on Freeview) when a message appeared "This interactive service is coming to an end, press [TEXT] to exit." WTF?! They'd never do this on a main analogue channel. I note the BBC website also appears to be down.

Michael Jones (MichaelJ), Saturday, 1 May 2004 15:51 (twenty years ago) link

The BBC website isn't down any more.

William Bloody Swygart (mrswygart), Saturday, 1 May 2004 15:59 (twenty years ago) link

Apparently Dott won 17-15 - after "an exchange of unbelievably tense safety" according to the now-reachable BBC website.

After a laborious registration procedure I'm about to leave a Why Oh Why complaints on the Points Of View messageboard - in that curly electric typewriter font.

Michael Jones (MichaelJ), Saturday, 1 May 2004 16:05 (twenty years ago) link

I've not paid attention to the snooker in years do I didn't even know Higgins was still playing.

I've left the box of soup near your shoes (Tom D.), Wednesday, 1 May 2024 12:37 (yesterday) link

Higgins/Allen was a fantastic match

Colonel Poo, Wednesday, 1 May 2024 12:48 (yesterday) link

higgins match percolating nicely

LaMDA barry-stanners (||||||||), Wednesday, 1 May 2024 12:54 (yesterday) link

higgins celtic fan against kyren wilson english. sorry I can only support the wizard here, match fixing be damned

LaMDA barry-stanners (||||||||), Wednesday, 1 May 2024 12:55 (yesterday) link

I'd support Maguire against Gilbert but it's not looking good rn

xyzzzz__, Wednesday, 1 May 2024 13:13 (yesterday) 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 (yesterday) 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 (yesterday) 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 (yesterday) link

LaMDA barry-stanners (||||||||), Wednesday, 1 May 2024 20:03 (yesterday) link

xyzzzz__, Wednesday, 1 May 2024 20:05 (yesterday) link

bingham’s cooking

LaMDA barry-stanners (||||||||), Wednesday, 1 May 2024 20:06 (yesterday) link

Omg..

Just came here to post that, holy shit this frame

Bitchin Doutai (Noodle Vague), Wednesday, 1 May 2024 20:25 (yesterday) link

Awesome ending, fucking hell

xyzzzz__, Wednesday, 1 May 2024 20:28 (yesterday) 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 (yesterday) link
