The Snooker Thread (Part 1)

Last night’s session was insane. Best I’ve ever seen

It was incredible. Highest quality of snooker I’ve ever seen.

An outstanding performance by Judd Trump. John Higgins did well to get nine frames on the board and I don’t think any other player out there would have even got that.

Mad to think he only won his first round match 10-9. But was effectively playing a different sport there.

I’m a big fan of John but you cannot begrudge in any way a player who has taken his game to the standard that Judd has done over the last week or so. Wonderful, wonderful snooker.

Delighted with that result. Well done Trump.

I thought it was the worst tournament in years. Ronnie Selby ding Murphy gone early enough. Wilson and Gilbert, the final was written early. Higgins a fat pig and should leave the game

That’s arrant nonsense

Ronnie O’Sullivan is easily the biggest draw in snooker and the most beloved top player around, by a mile

So quite a lot of people care actually

I would seriously doubt that at this stage.

I’m not sure why except perhaps for you having a personal dislike for him

There’s a reason he was at or very close to the top of the betting for BBC Sports Personality of the Year pre-World Championship and why his first round exit was the biggest story of the championship

If he ever wins the world title again he’ll be a very strong contender to win the BBC award because he has crossover appeal that no other top player has

You can’t say that for any other currently active player except Jimmy White, who I’m quietly optimistic will win it in 2020

Ronnie O’Sullivan is the Maradona of snooker - a once in a lifetime player

The snooker and general public still recognise that

Think people are getting tired of his pretend nonchalant attitude towards snooker. He’s furious with himself for getting beaten by chumps. Seeing the likes of fat John Higgins getting to 3 world finals in a row must sicken him.

I think people still care but he’s becoming a broken record at this stage. Stay or go Ronnie but shut up about it

Shaun Murphy who opened 1/100 now 3-3 vs Reanne Evans. Best of 7.

All over now.

Jimmy leading 3 nil against ronnie —first to 4!

Both buddies wouldn’t be surprised if ronnie throwing this for him
