The Snooker Thread (Part 1)

Did the final session of the tournament not used to be blacktie at the Crucible? Used to seeing a load of tuxedos in the crowd. None on show at the moment though one gentleman is sporting a union jack tie.

Not that I know of.

never, but would have all high ranking official in audience who would wear black tie for final.

Atrocious standard in this frame.

final has being poor. this will go 18-17

Sad to see that Dottā€™s presence in the final has once again resulted in empty seats at the final session, just like in 2006. If this goes to 18-17, itā€™ll be 2 in the morning and the Crucible will be half empty.

Good final pot there from Robertson but poor fare up until then alright.

Dott dues that grimace thing when he pots a ball or when he misses one. Hun fuck.

Massive shot on the pink to win that frame. A Robbo roar bellows around the Crucible.

Robertson is pulling himself down to Dottā€™s level in this. He needs to take the shackles off and push this over the line.

Awful frame for Robbo to lose.

Elaine Dott or Robertsonā€™s auld wan?

If you had to do one of the two, like.

Robertsons oul wan for me anyway,these two cunts are useless,id bate either of the two of em on the pool table at the back of the spots,theres a few serious rolls on it,they wouldnt be used to it.

I was in Inistioge yesterday and couldnā€™t find the spots - is it known as something else too?

Iā€™m only barely watching this now. Itā€™s worse than 2006.

Would there much cheating goinā€™ on Link? Theyre hoors for it over the road in Kilenauleā€¦

ā€œLook out the window there at the lights on our GAA fieldā€¦ Fine job arenā€™t they?ā€

Dickie Bird the cricket umpire is in the crowd. They focussed on him just now for a few seconds. He had his arms folded and clearly looked down at his watch with an exasperated look on his face - clearly thinking ā€œwhen is this shit going to end?ā€

Iā€™m betting 01:48 tomorrow.

The standard in this frame is a disgrace frankly.

Right on cue.

Bad choice of pun actually.

Iā€™ve decided Iā€™m treating this as the final frame. Canā€™t sit through the rest of this shite.

Some of the safety shots were ridiculous. It was a case of milling into a little cluster of reds and hoping the cue ball cannoned back down into baulk. Thatā€™s not even mentioning the basic missed pots. Itā€™s only the fact that bed signals the end of the normal length weekend plus bank holiday Monday thatā€™s keeping me with this.
