Doherty is playing like poo. That Mark Allen started ace good but dohery's poo seems to be rubbing off

And Fu ruined my £5 on him making a comeback from 6-1 down yesterday by giving up after winning a few frames. Cunt.

Hazel always cheers me up.

Ronnie was immense against Ding, Doherty really shite

 Hazel is indeed a cheery soul, but strangely asexual....I'd give that Michaela Tabb one mind.

 You country boys eh

i forgot it is snooker time again  8)

That Trump kiddie seems a bit good and young to me. He's not even Asian. Shouldn't be allowed.

Judd plays at Keynsham where I play. Used to see him all the time, really fucked me off as I was struggling and chuffed with a twenty break to see him legging it round the table at 11 spanking in century breaks. Fair play to him though, and he's got a younger brother Jack who is almost as good.

Murphy's gone 8-6 up now. Judd needs to win this one. Early days in his break at the moment.

I hate Murphy.

Fucking fat bible bashing cunt.

oh yeah. I'd forgotten about his born again Christian because I was bullied at school gayness. Come on then trumpy. Think young Trump would get Parrot in the next round, bit of an interesting age difference there.

  I like interesting age differences.  

  Shaun Murphy's father once played in the British Open at golf, unlike the recently deceased Maurice Flitcroft who despite may innovative attempts to circumvent qualifying never did, but can lay claim to his 121 being the worst ever round in a qualifying attempt.

Oh yes.  :nod:

snooker is a good hangover cure, i look forward to it tomorrow

and reg it' sembarrasing seeing a 50 year old wannabe intellectual behaving like a 20 year old swindon-chav to impress people on an internet message board

You're on fire.

Watching the snooker highlights on the telly now. Come on Joe Swail. I can't stand that Williams cunt. No one tells me what happens. don't think this is live.

Stupid Snooker no Antiques programs at 4.45 :x

yey. Williams lost. I hate him. Woooooooot!

Good to see that fat Trowbridge gypo Lee getting beat.

I hope that Lee drowns in a pool of his own greasy sweat.

He has a club in Trowbridge (snooker club) which is nearer to me than Keynsham, but out of principle I will not step foot into it. I think there is a 3 pie minimum entrance policy.

Higgings going for a 147....9 reds and 9 blacks so far

Missed the final red :(

Didn't realise you get £147,000 for a maximum :shock:

14th red it was, there was another up by the green.

2 or 3 tournaments ago Ronnie got one and thought he was gonna get a car, but there was some mix up with sponsors and insurance so they couldn't offer the car after all...

I hope parrot comes back against the twat Murphy.

He's so gormless

She'd have to keep the white gloves on mind...

woooooot John Parrot's barmy army.

8-8

I hate Murphy so much, he looks like he should wear special shoes

According to the mirror it is £157,000. Higgins said it was all down to a twitch.

Is it £10,000 for highest break and another £147,000 if it's a 147? That would make sense.

I hope Allen beats Stevens, don't like Steven's much either.

Woooooot re-rack first frame. What Snooker.

I think it is my esteemed snooker buddy.

I also dislike Stevens, he has shit hair.

147K for the 147 plus some extra cash for the top break of the tournie - irrespective of whether its a maximum

My dislike for Mathew Stevens isn't quite up to that of my serious hatred I have towards Mark Willams and Shaun Murphy. I'd only wish mild Aids on him instead of horrible toturous death.

Ben your views on Hendry - I wish mega acne aids on him, compared to the welsh players he really is a prick.

Hendry pisses me off loads. I'd like to see him someone go at him with a snooker ball in a sock mid game.

Interestingly Paul Hunter didn't piss me off that much despite the really stupid hair. I'd definitely do his widow though.

What a lovely white jumper she had on... :?

Those pussies doing the marathon should've carried on, you at least finish the fucking frame you are playing!

She's been wearing that white jumper since they started doing the snooker marathon. Maybe it was a way of showing support in a "you keep playing snooker and I won't change my clothes" sort of way.

I would though, and make a call me Paul for added emotional damage.

This is shit. Fuck off Stevens

Willie Thorn spouts an incredible amount of shite.

I want mitchell and webb to commentate, it should be a red button option like fanzone on skysports.

Ooooh, and that's a bad miss...

Willie just asked Terry is he would like to flick the pink  :shock: Terry said he would prefer the brown!

argh crap. I wasn't listening

Joe Swail on for a 147. Come on!

he's fucked it now

The fool finished low on a red

Then pussied out and took the pink

Mark Allen starting to play well now.

yep. Destroyed Stevens in 3 frames straight. Woooot.

McCulloch and Hamilton is an interesting encounter... :boring: another pair of prize cunts.

The sheriff of fucking pottingham my arse, he looks like a musketeer.

If I pm them my mobile number can someone text me parrot - murphy updates later?

gays. I've got to go to work

Ali Carter sexy snooker!

Ronnie's on for a 147, although he just brailled position a bit.

hahaha. no he's not. they fucked up.

Ebdon was just now, missed the black on 97...

I can't remember a tourney with so many 147 attempts!

Good match this. And whoever wins plays Higgins, I think. Which should also be a quality match

ben any tips for a film tonight?

nah it's all shit tonight.

That Selby is a class act, and Robertson V Ronnie has been good too, Robertson looks a future World champ - not this year but soonish.

Robertson will do Ronnie, done him twice this season already.

 :oops: Posted this seconds before Robertson missed the pink to go 11-10 up.

The Ronnie/Higgins match should be ace, i think the Murphy/Stevens match might go down to the wire too. Carter should go through easy, the way he's been playing and i'd expect Maguire to beat the Sheriff of Pottingham.

So, i predict Rocket vs Maguire and Carter vs Stevens semis, with Ali Carter to shock everyone and beat Ronnie in the final

Fucking Murphy/Stevens. I hope Paul Hunter descends from the heavens and uses his new found resurrection powers to turn their major organs into fish. Apart from their Brains. I want them to feel the pain.

Great comeback from Murphy, but i don't think it will have endeared him to FB much :)

Murphy Ronnie final I think, that comeback was sensational. The first time anyone has won from 12-7 down. Shame he's such a boring knob!

you cunts, I was just watching the highlights, was only at 11-12!

Not another comeback!!!! Nah, don't think Ronnie can do it. It's like a mirror of Murphy's effort so far though.

Ronnie is going for the all or nothing here. 12-9 down and playing some mental shots. He's got to fuck it up eventually. To be honest I like both Higgins and Ronnie so I'm not bothered. Another crazy comeback today would be mental and ace though.

blew it with the "hit and hope", shame.

like Higgins though, met him and he's a top bloke. Hope he wins it now.

Watching Carter Selby now. Nerves have been kicking in a bit. If Carter wins this frame it could be a marathon. Well tricky pack to break up from the pink though and the black is cushioned.

What a fucking red from Carter!

This game is tighter than a.... well it's tight. Good watching.

yep, 11 each. selby is starting to feel the pressure

7-1 i got on higgins on monday morning ben from corals.On sunday he played the best snooker i have seen him play in a long time.

Snooker Jokes

Why did the snooker player put a condom on his cue?
Because he wanted to play safe.

Why do snooker players keep compost in their pockets?
Because they like to pot plants.

Selby has done a mental break. some mental positional and pots. Not a high break yet, but one of the best so far.

It's going down to t'wire then...

I thought it would. I'm going for Selby my self. Good to see a qualifier in the last 4.

Selby has a very weird stance.He has had back surgery hasnt he?

http://www.markselby.com/home.html  :shock:

Both are well nervy at the moment. I'm guessing that it'll be a slow game, half an hour of safety, then someone will get near to winning it and then fuck it up and we'll have another half an hour of safety. Guaranteed.

a re-spot black would be mint.

but i am tired, so i'd settle for a frame winning break, although the reds all seem to be covering each other at the mo

this must be what cricket threads are like for you lot

Carter looks physically fucked tbh

fucking hell. that was harsh

I'm expecting nothing less than an hour long frame.

unlucky with that in-off

:D they are playing like some pissed blokes in the baize

Frame over i think

looks that way

you'd think, he still seems nervey.

:shock: selbys hands are shaking.I take back what i said he could bottle this still

oooh, game on!

game over. I like Selby. Hopefully him or Higgins or Maguire will win.

Anyone but that fat excuse for a human, bible bashing, born again tosspot Murphy!

I'd like to see Higgins win it again.

I cant see past higgins tbh

Why? He's only a little fella.

I'd like Maguire to win, but as said earlier as long as Murphy doesn't win, it'll be a good reulst for snooker.

cracking match at the mo, should have been 15 all but the fat twat is 16-14 up.

16 each, come on selby!

Great win for Selby, should be a good final

Anyone watching this? selby has won the first 4 frames in the afternoon session to make it 12-8 now, higgins having got into the swing at all yet, selby is playing some good snooker.

14-12. Could be a late night  :D

Come on Selby.

Late night snooker. Woooot.

Close finish will be ace.

I like Higgins but a qualifier winning would be ace.

Selby was on fire in the afternoon session winning 6 in a row. It is going to be a late one.

Another mentally long frame.

match finish time guesses? I reckon 1.27am with a 18-16 scoreline either way....

I think I might get dressed for work now and just go straight there after the snooker!

I reckon it depends on this frame. Higgins win might see him get comfortable and walk it. Selby win and I reckon we could be looking at between 1 and 2.

20 mins of safety on the yellow...who's gonna crack first?

Its mad though, only 10 frames completed since 3pm this afternoon, gettin on for half an hour average frame time................19 minutes now since the last ball was potted

19 minutes on the green now?

just 6 or 7 I reckon. God I need a piss!

what a pot. has he snookered himself.? nearly.

an hour long frame it seems, if it carries on like this it'll be a 3am finish

what a pot, and now snookered.........ooops

This is the mentalist of mental frames. It's a shame it's not 17-17. How mental would that be
....

fucking hell he's potted it.

mentalness,potted the brown with a fluke and snookered himself! And another nice snooker from Selby

14-13 then, its gonna be a late one...

i wanna carry on watching but i feel they will prob still be playing when i get up for work at 5.30

come on selby

This is stupidly immense. I knew I should have got another bottle of wine in.

I'd almost make Selby favorite now, its got scrappy though...........now Selby has a chance to win will he start to put pressure on himself and struggle again?

Dunno if I'd class the last frame as scrappy, just consistent safety more than anything. It's going to start taking it out of them though.

Just got more coffee,not risking going to bed to watch it, will fall asleep for sure.

Need someone to knock a nice break in early doors in this frame or they may get bogged down in a safety battle mentality.

I'd fancy a few more safety battle the last one was ace.

Didn't catch the reds good enough.

I think there will be a few more safety battles yet.........this looks like a bit of a chance for Selby though....

The balls seem to want to run to a safety situation.

Where's Uri Geller and his helicopter?

Selby's shot time must be getting pretty long by now......he likes checking every thing out.............that pink by the pocket is going to be a problem in this frame for a while

This is gunna go on and on. Certain to beat the latest final finish, last year Dott vs Ebdon....I think Higgins is going to nick 18-14ish, but would like to see it go the other way

he's looking good for 15-13.slack shot from selby

this frame's Higgins to lose now

poor positional shot there though. here we go again...

Game on

if selby nicks this, i think he'll go on to win it

I think your right, but will be interesting to see whether he gets tight when getting close to the finish line...

lovely red from higgins!

he's never been anywhere near this position before so he may well do. Higgins has put so many colours safe now, it would be colosal for selby to win the frame

well thats 15-13 then.......  Still a tight match

he's put the green on a plate...

now that frames dead, time for a coffee

here we go again...

twice now someone has coughed as selby was about to play, and twice he potted the ball afterwards.

again there going to be no high breaks here.....what a fuckin shot that was

Split the pack now, good chance here....

yep, should make a sizeable break here

Higgins has the chance now, 3 frame lead would surely just about do it....

3 behind with higgins only needing 2 would be another mountain for Selby. Think this could be match over. I said that yesterday though.

I reckon that should be it really....

i may get to bed before 1.

having said that i predict the next frame will be a marathon 42 minutes with a respotted black.

hahaha, Jimmy seems drunk and depressed. I reckon he's got a few quid on Selby.

what a shot, you can tell he's a pool player........shame he got on no colour

some of his pots are very "unsnooker" like

Looking like the match is coming to a rapid conclusion

indeed

a century at this time of night, thats mental stamina!

Based on the shit standard of sport this year, I'd put Selby as an early nomination for sports personality of the year next time..........a decent sportsman who actually has a personality and has a laugh when playing.

What a fucking plant!

another cracking pool-esque shot

But missed the colour..........higgins for the match

Game set and match, I'm going to bed now thats over! it's been a pleasure!

Been an epic, but I'm sure Selby will be back to fight again

me too i think.

night gents

Quality final and tournament. Some cracking snooker.

Yep agreed, had my fears after the first few days as the tables seemed to be awful, but since it has been immense

After all that I feel more disappointed about having to wait 50 weeks for the next Snooker World Championships than I did about having to wait just under 4 years for the next world cup last summer. I know the televised snooker season gets back under way in October, but it's all about the WC. That was 2 weeks of quality viewing.

woke up at 5.30 thinking it might still be going but alas was a quick finish, ahh well, you cant realy fault selby in the slightests, by far a future champion.
