Title: The world snooker final thread. Post by: land_of_bo on Sunday, April 30, 2006, 14:30:45 I have a monster hangover afer a proper bender last night, so am lying on the sofa with my laptop watching the snooker.
Who do you want to win? Personally I'd like to see Ebdon do it, I know he's a bit slow and boring at times, but generally he's played well over the last week. Plus I think Dott is a whining cunt, always going on about how no-one knows who he is or respects him in his snivelling shitty voice that belongs on a skinny skag head. I'd love to see Ebdon whitewash him actually. Title: The world snooker final thread. Post by: STFC Village on Sunday, April 30, 2006, 14:36:02 Ebdon for me. Agree with Dott's annoying girly voice, although i haven't got a massive hatred for him. Not a massive fan of Ebdon really. Would have preferred a Fu Vs O'Sullivan final
Title: The world snooker final thread. Post by: Sussex on Sunday, April 30, 2006, 14:38:51 I've got a stinking hangover too. Spurs for me.
Title: The world snooker final thread. Post by: Sussex on Sunday, April 30, 2006, 14:40:09 Oh bollocks. Wrong end of stick :?
Title: The world snooker final thread. Post by: land_of_bo on Sunday, April 30, 2006, 14:40:10 Don't get me wrong, not a huge Ebdon fan and would definately have preferred a Rocket vs Hong Kong Fuey final. Shame Ronnie forgot to turn uo for the first 8 frames yesterday morning!

Hangover excuses all mis-posts, I would watch spurs if I had sky and then watch the snooker via t'interweb at the same time. Multi-tasking, even with a hangover! Title: The world snooker final thread. Post by: flammableBen on Sunday, April 30, 2006, 14:49:30 Hangovers are for wimps. I'm going to start drinking. Think ebdon will win it but pretty neutral really. Dott's whiney voice is ace. It's become a favourite impression around our house.
Title: The world snooker final thread. Post by: land_of_bo on Sunday, April 30, 2006, 14:52:03 I hate the way he blows the chalk off his tip as well, looks like he's trying to deep throat the cue!
My girlfriend always sings "My name is..." when she sees him, remember a couple of seasons back they had that spool of him to Eminem whining about how no-one knew who he was? Title: The world snooker final thread. Post by: Rossi on Sunday, April 30, 2006, 14:57:43 I rekon Ebdon will win, although I don't really care that much
Title: The world snooker final thread. Post by: swindonbob on Sunday, April 30, 2006, 15:03:59 I know, its a well boring final. Im not gonna bother
Title: The world snooker final thread. Post by: flammableBen on Sunday, April 30, 2006, 15:34:57 It's not exactly sexy snooker, I've set my self up now though so have to watch it.
Title: The world snooker final thread. Post by: Johno on Sunday, April 30, 2006, 15:59:32 ebdon and dott final...no thanks. not even my grandad will watch it.
Title: The world snooker final thread. Post by: flammableBen on Sunday, April 30, 2006, 16:06:46 You'll regret watching it when it's the fucking best final of all time.
3-1 to the squeaky cunt. Hazel is back on the screen. I love Hazel. Title: The world snooker final thread. Post by: land_of_bo on Sunday, April 30, 2006, 16:08:22 the wee shit is 3-1 up then, hope it speeds up a bit otherwise they wont finish the next 4 frames before the evening session is due to start!
Title: The world snooker final thread. Post by: land_of_bo on Sunday, April 30, 2006, 16:10:26 I reckon Hazel keeps the butt of a cue for her own special use during the intervals. I wonder if JP and the nugget have been there?
On anither note, I didn't see Michaela Tab reffing this year? Title: The world snooker final thread. Post by: flammableBen on Sunday, April 30, 2006, 16:17:49 Hazel has the same birthday as me. I'd be happy to ignore the 19 year age difference aswell.
steve and JP tag-teamed her. Although apperently Davis' performance was a bit llacking and JP was left doing most the work. Title: The world snooker final thread.

http://www.michaelatabbshop.com/mtgifts.html Title: The world snooker final thread. Post by: flammableBen on Sunday, April 30, 2006, 17:26:48 They stopped the first session a few frames early 'cos it was dragging on so long. Hopefully it will get better this evening
Title: The world snooker final thread. Post by: Iffy's Onion Bhaji on Sunday, April 30, 2006, 18:12:08 this final is going to be shite! boring players! bring back Jimmy White and Ronnie for the final instead!
Title: The world snooker final thread. Post by: flammableBen on Sunday, April 30, 2006, 19:37:55 and the first frame of the session takes another half an hour.
5-2 to dott now. Fuck knows what ebdon is doing. Could understand slowing the play down against players like hendry, ronnie, williams etc. But he's blatently a better break builder than dott so should be attacking. Saying that he just smacked in a long red. Maybe he'll try and make it interesting now. Title: The world snooker final thread. Post by: oxford_fan on Sunday, April 30, 2006, 19:42:47 my dad got thrashed by a young jimmy white in a cowley snooker club back in the day, jimmy is 8)
did anyone have his game, whirlwind snooker for the pc? it came on about 3 of those big disks http://www.mathdaily.com/lessons/upload/thumb/5/50/200px-Floppy_disk_5.25_inch.JPG Title: The world snooker final thread. Post by: flammableBen on Sunday, April 30, 2006, 19:47:54 Think I borrowed the Atari ST version off my mate for a while. Got a vague memory of balls making faces at you?
Set my old ST up downstairs but none of my housemates will play Bubble Bobble with me. Cunts, dissertations and exams are no excuse. Title: The world snooker final thread. Post by: land_of_bo on Sunday, April 30, 2006, 19:55:46 Bubble bobble kicks arse! I was an Amiga lad thought - ST? Shit Technology :wink:
I don't understand why Ebdon's being so negative, looks like he's about to go 4 behind... Title: The world snooker final thread. Post by: flammableBen on Sunday, April 30, 2006, 20:17:33 The old Amiga vs ST debate, proper old skool. Both had versions of most the classics although the ST got some dodgy conversions of a few, Shadow of the Beast(?) springs to mind. The ST original version of the brilliant Dungeon Master was much better though, and both versions of sensible soccer are still king of the football game world.
Back to the slightly less geekish snooker and ebdon's still being a gay jew. Title: The world snooker final thread. Post by: land_of_bo on Sunday, April 30, 2006, 20:20:54 I used to lavo Gauntlet as well as bubble bobble, great 2 player action, thought think that may have been on the c64?
Ebdon just took about 10 minutes to make a break of 8 then fuck up position and scatter the reds, he needs to pull his thumb out of his arse and start playing properly! Title: The world snooker final thread. Post by: flammableBen on Sunday, April 30, 2006, 20:24:33 Gauntlet was an atari arcade machine conversion. The ST version was a classic and one of the few games to use the 4-player adapter. Only ever got as far as 2 player but mega ace fun. Got vague memory of early speech in games, with it shouting at you if you shot the food.
Ebdon needs to sort it out. He's being cack. Title: The world snooker final thread. Post by: land_of_bo on Sunday, April 30, 2006, 20:35:34 7-2 now, Ebdon's playng like a clown.
Title: The world snooker final thread. Post by: flammableBen on Sunday, April 30, 2006, 20:38:37 hopefully he'll sort himself out for tomorrow
Title: The world snooker final thread. Post by: land_of_bo on Sunday, April 30, 2006, 20:49:10 He's getting desperate now...needs to sort his head out at half time
Title: The world snooker final thread. Post by: STFC Village on Sunday, April 30, 2006, 21:22:58 This is going 'til the early hours 8)
Title: The world snooker final thread. Post by: land_of_bo on Sunday, April 30, 2006, 21:25:30 1.15 I reckon
Title: The world snooker final thread. Post by: flammableBen on Sunday, April 30, 2006, 21:27:48 Got a feeling that ebdon might sort himself out tomorrow. he's a bit over 3/1 on betfair at the moment, if it goes up a bit I might put down a few quid on him.
If ebdon starts playing snooker I don't think the frame difference will matter to much, even if he's 8 down. Title: The world snooker final thread. Post by: land_of_bo on Sunday, April 30, 2006, 22:03:06 Looks like he's remembered how to do it, 2 in a row...
Title: The world snooker final thread. Post by: flammableBen on Sunday, April 30, 2006, 22:06:02 Yeah, I'm expecting a ebdon white wash in tomorrow's early session. Hopefully Dott can get enough frames for an exciting finish. Snookers in such a state at the moment that it could do with a good final.
Title: The world snooker final thread. Post by: Onion_Jimbo on Sunday, April 30, 2006, 22:20:11 ummmmm
motd? Title: The world snooker final thread. Post by: land_of_bo on Sunday, April 30, 2006, 22:22:00 guess it'll be on after the snookay?
Title: The world snooker final thread. Post by: STFC Village on Sunday, April 30, 2006, 22:23:03 Quote from: "land_of_bo" guess it'll be on after the snookay? Around 3am then? :DTitle: The world snooker final thread. Post by: land_of_bo on Sunday, April 30, 2006, 22:27:25 :soapy tit wank:
Reckon the snooker will finish by 12.30 now. Last couple of frames were pretty quick, though the current frame has now slowed up and developed into a safety battle on the last 2 reds. Title: The world snooker final thread. Post by: land_of_bo on Sunday, April 30, 2006, 22:38:53 Still 3 frames to go, thought there was only 2...
Ebdons forgotten how to do it again. Title: The world snooker final thread. Post by: flammableBen on Sunday, April 30, 2006, 22:42:32 It's got novelty value now. Thinking about it, if they were playing this bad in the last frame it would be a classic. Still think Ebdon will win it tomorrow. He's started the turn around allready. Fair play to dott though.
Title: The world snooker final thread. Post by: Rossi on Sunday, April 30, 2006, 22:43:57 I wouldn't mind so much if it was a decent final but its pretty boring tbh
Title: The world snooker final thread. Post by: STFC Village on Sunday, April 30, 2006, 22:54:53 Oddly, i'm quite enjoying this now :?
Title: The world snooker final thread. Post by: flammableBen on Sunday, April 30, 2006, 22:57:37 me too. it's getting exciting
Title: The world snooker final thread. Post by: land_of_bo on Sunday, April 30, 2006, 22:58:28 9-5, nice double on the black!
Title: The world snooker final thread. Post by: flammableBen on Sunday, April 30, 2006, 22:58:46 black ball frame. told you the snooker would be ace...
what a double. Ebdon's turning it around. Title: The world snooker final thread. Post by: STFC Village on Sunday, April 30, 2006, 22:59:32 SUPER SLO-MO!!!!!
Title: The world snooker final thread. Post by: flammableBen on Sunday, April 30, 2006, 23:00:31 I'm actually looking forward to tommorows snooker effort now. Random.
Title: The world snooker final thread. Post by: land_of_bo on Sunday, April 30, 2006, 23:01:08 seeing the white bounce like that is ace!
I play a lot and never get a kick though...probably cos the clothes in clubs are like carpets compared to what the pros play on Title: The world snooker final thread.

Title: The world snooker final thread. Post by: land_of_bo on Sunday, April 30, 2006, 23:22:38 :o
Title: The world snooker final thread. Post by: STFC Village on Sunday, April 30, 2006, 23:32:00 Massive yawn from Dott :soapy tit wank:
Title: The world snooker final thread. Post by: land_of_bo on Sunday, April 30, 2006, 23:45:09 me too, 11-5. bed friend.
Title: The world snooker final thread. Post by: flammableBen on Sunday, April 30, 2006, 23:49:25 it surely is the bobby howe of snooker finals. tomorrows gonna be top.
Title: The world snooker final thread. Post by: flammableBen on Monday, May 1, 2006, 17:04:42 Not the best snooker final ever. Luckily Looks like Dott Will win it comfortably to end it sooner rather than later.
Title: The world snooker final thread. Post by: STFC Village on Monday, May 1, 2006, 19:36:48 Good start from Ebdon, winning the first 2 frames. Would love to see a comeback
Title: The world snooker final thread. Post by: singingiiiffy on Monday, May 1, 2006, 19:58:11 so would i, put £20 on it :shock:
Title: The world snooker final thread. Post by: STFC Village on Monday, May 1, 2006, 22:05:13 Just played the longest crucible frame ever, 73 and a bit minutes! Ebdon wins 5 in a row, the comeback is on!

Post by: swindonbob on Monday, May 1, 2006, 22:35:03 Hmm i was thinking of sticking a few quid on ebdon but its only 5/2 now. Not worth it. Im not staying up to watch this - an hour and a quater for 1 frame? Fucking stupid.
Title: The world snooker final thread. Post by: flammableBen on Monday, May 1, 2006, 22:45:49 I've only missed 2 frames. Madness.
Title: The world snooker final thread. Post by: Spud on Monday, May 1, 2006, 23:07:16 3am finish then! :shock:
Title: The world snooker final thread. Post by: singingiiiffy on Monday, May 1, 2006, 23:15:04 about 2 matches ago ebdon was still at 13/1 and i said to my mates about putting some money on but it wasnt until he was losing 7-3 in the final or something i decided to put £20 on him. that was only at 5/1 unfortunately. hope he wins but wish he would hurry up and put a few centuries down.
3am! we'd be lucky. i had mite aswell get dressed for work now by the time this finishes Title: The world snooker final thread. Post by: sonic youth on Monday, May 1, 2006, 23:17:34 has this match been going on all day?

Title: The world snooker final thread. Post by: Rossi on Monday, May 1, 2006, 23:54:02 Was there any need for the shouting & kissing the trophy before he'd even finished playing? If I'd have been Ebdon when he did that I'd of been well pissed off
Title: The world snooker final thread. Post by: STFC Village on Monday, May 1, 2006, 23:55:02 Dammit, thought Ebdon would take it all the way. Kind of gave up on the final frame. Still, nice to get a new champ, even if he is Scottish :-))(
Title: The world snooker final thread. Post by: Iffy's Onion Bhaji on Tuesday, May 2, 2006, 17:44:14 good match in the end! cant believe Dott nearly blew at the end though
