The Snooker Thread (Part 1)

isnā€™t it Ronnie that canā€™t stand his style of play

Is selby having a breakdown here? That white was always going in

the pressure is unreal here

Fu is cracking, some poor shots here

Yeah. Ronnie is on record any number of times as saying heā€™s his toughest opponent, but you sense he doesnā€™t like him.

Ronnie said in his post match interview after losing to Hawkins that he wanted Ding to win it out.

its down to a battle of nerve now

Iā€™d love another 76 minute frame here.

That was one of the shots of the championship by Fu.

Who won it this year?

You always knew you were getting towards the business end of the championship when David Vine introduced the competition.

Great anecdote mate. Any idea who Elsie Holdsworthā€™s favourite player was? Jimmy, I would imagine.

I think we all loved Jimmy.

Except that tool Prince Naseem, who was a fanatical fan of Stephen Hendry.

unreal safety here, granite snooker

1994 was the first year of the May Bank Holiday in Eire. 30 April, 1 & 2 May 1994 also ranks as one of the most depressing sporting weekends in my lifetime.

Fu has stitched Selby up like a kipper here.

A horrible weekend indeed, but a wonderful life lesson.

The crucible really is a sacred place. The only snooker Iā€™ve ever watched but it is epic stuff.

What a fucking snooker.

You spoke too soon, what a shot that was from Selby! Fu in huge trouble here.

this is fucking gruelling

A great weekend though for Man U fans as they wrapped up the EPL without kicking a ball when Blackburn Rovers lost at Coventry on the Monday night football.

My word.
