The Snooker Thread (Part 1)

Balls of steel from young Cahill!

Scenes here. No hope amateur James Cahill is one frame away from beating Ronnie O’Sullivan. The crucible :heart_eyes::heart_eyes::heart_eyes:

Incredible Ronnie missing the pink off its spot and Cahill steps in to go 9-8 ahead. Ronnie on the brink.

That was an astonishing frame. I thought I’d seen it all over the years but the Crucible just keeps throwing up unprecedented drama.

Ronnie well placed in frame 18 after a Cahill error. Looks like it will be a deciding frame.

Not sure Cahill has it in him to get over the line. Would want to be handed to him on a plate

O’Sullivan gone into overdrive here. Two insane pots there

Ronnie is just going to take everything on now.

This has been a stunning frame from Ronnie so far and with that he knocks in red after going into the pack on the blue. Incredible. Will he get another shot. I suspect he will.

O’Sullivan playing this frame like a lad after 6 pints showing off to his mates

Ronnie potting everything in sight, outrageous stuff at this stage of the game, then he’s potted a red after trying to develop a cluster after potting a blue.

What a chance for Cahill, it’s all open for him.

This is his chance now. We could be witnessing history

Big shot here on brown to final red. Match hinges on it. Gets the brown. Red not easy.

he deserves to win it for that shot!

Knocks in the red, middle of the pocket. Colours on their spots now. What could possibly go wrong.

All about the nerves now. Everything on it’s spot.

hes done it fair play to him

Incredible!!!

Absolutely incredible.

The biggest shock I’ve ever witnessed in sport live, bar none. Cahill looked done when it went from 8-5 to 8-8, but to gut it out and win the last two. That second last frame sums up the drama snooker can deliver.
