The Snooker Thread (Part 1)

i actually know someone with that surname , she’s fairly hot actually

The “H” is silent

Dott himself in 2006 beat former champions Peter Ebdon, Ronnie O’Sullivan and John Parrott, a future champion (Neil Robertson) and a former finalist (Nigel Bond).

Seashell Myth-like

PK will be seething

Bingham’s newest fan, former tennis star Martina Navratilova, wrote on Twitter: “This frame was the equivalent of a 18:16 set or something like that…wow”

Probably watching on the couch with her hot Russian wife…superb

A 27th ranking event title for the great John Higgins. A stunning final frame break secures a 9-8 victory over Martin Gould in Australia.

Tremendous victory for Ali Carter in the Paul Hunter Classic final in Germany tonight. The Captain defeated Shaun Murphy 4-3 in the final to secure title since coming back from his cancer scare.

Fergal O’Brien caps off a remarkable couple of days in Irish sport by sensationally dumping world champion Stuart Bingham out in the first round of the Ruhr Open. The Baby-Faced Assassin came from 3-1 down to win 4-3.

Great stuff. Congratulations to new World Champion Fergal O’Brien.

Ken Doherty is through to the 4th round of the Bulgarian Open after getting a walkover from Jimmy White, not sure what has happened to The Whirlwind, but I’ll update the thread if I receive any info.

In the meantime here’s an outrageous safety escape from Jimmy against Ronnie O’Sullivan from a European League tussle back in 1993.

Peter Ebdon rolled back the years to beat world champion Stuart Bingham 6-3 in the 3rd round of the UK Championship today.

Joe Swail is into the last 16 as well. Beat Michael Holt 6-1.

Neil Robertson demolishes Mark Selby 6-0. Liang Wenbo awaits in the final tomorrow.

Robertson on course for a 147. BBC2

HE’S DONE IT :clap:

4-2 Robertson

First 147 in a UK final. Robertson is not far off Ronnie in terms of pure natural ability. He needs to be adding to his haul of the big ones as he’s underachieved in his career in the big three.
