Cazoo World Championship 2024

I'm still strongly convinced that Jak Jones is actually just a Jonah Hill method acting trip character he will reveal sometime in the future.

I like Jones character, I think seeing a younger player show some balls and standing up to the bigger names and old guard is just what the game needs. I think if he wins a ranking title he'll go on and win many, he's got a strong all round game and is very underrated.

I've seen plenty of badly photoshopped photos of Michelle Obama made to look masculine ,I made a point of hunting the originals and also looked at other photos of her around the same time and the manly ones were clearly manipulated, it's obvious Epstein didn't kill himself as the chances of the CCTV stopping working at the same time both guards left a prisoner on suicide watch is next to none

There are no photos of Michelle Obama as a young woman, there are no photos of Michelle Obama pregnant, there was an appearance from her on the Ellen DeGeneres show where she was dancing and her 'wedding tackle' broke free and was clearly visible, those videos appeared on the internet and were hunted down and removed. Many times Barak has referred to his 'wife' as big Mike, there are many photos of Mike as a young man taken at university where he met Barak and the resemblance is clear.
Joan Rivers made a statement about Michelle being trans, 'everyone knows' she said and two weeks later she died under the knife of yet another cosmetic surgery when her usual anaesthetist was unexpectantly unavailable, sure she was in her 80's but it was a normal proceedure for her.
So called conspiracy theorists are consistantly being shown to be truth tellers these days, there's no smoke without fire as they say.

Back to the event
Jak Jones is boring the focus out of Stuart just like he did with Judd, not against the rules but it's clear that he's doing it on purpose, his short term memory can't be so bad that he has to look at every shot two or three times, C'mon Stuart, don't want a boring final, Wilson Gilbert this morning is very, very close, no cue pointing from here and there and everywhere, just getting on with it, good stuff.

Quality match between Gilbert and Wilson.

Match shot times so far:

Gilbert 30s - Wilson 26s

Jones 30s - Bingham 26s

And...

Time at Table

Jones 50% - Bingham 50%

Gilbert 54% - Wilson 45% (Wonder where the other 1% went? )

So, if anyone could be accused of slowing things down, it's Gilbert. Which of course, he isn't

And if Bingham and Jones have both had 50% time on table with Jones shot time 30s and Bingham's at 26s, then that must mean Bingham is the one who is actually messing about doing something other than taking his shot during his extra 4s time at the table.

Quality match between Gilbert and Wilson.

Couldn't be better could it. 2 cracking matches, both level ATM. Might even get a nice pair of deciders.

That would suit me just fine. Fingers crossed mate.

I've met Stu, used to chit chat down the club he practiced at back around the time he was world champ. Very down to earth guy and an absolute snooker lover. The problem anyone is going to have beating him here this week, now he's in form, is the fact that he is a kid in a sweet shop right now. He's having the time of his life just playing at the Crucible in the world championship. That's gonna be hard to play against for the debutant's.

It will mean a lot to Bingham to win so maybe that pressure will come back on when he's really tested near the winning line.

Good luck to them all, I just hope no one lets themselves down badly or gains any scars. ⚔️⚔️

Got to agree - at the back of Bingham's mind is "I've won this before, so I know I can do it", at the back of Wilson's mind is "I've never won this - and this is the 'easiest' chance I'll ever get."

So my money would be on Bingham, if it comes to a Bingham/Wilson final. Also Bingham just seems like a care-free kinda guy, not a worrier, which must be a great help in snooker. Not something you can buy or learn.

I like Neil's commentary. Interesting little titbits here and there...

Jak will struggle in so many tournaments on the main tour because of the shorter formats.

But for sure. He is a real threat to anyone's game in the longer formats. Hopefully he can get himself into the final a cement top 16 which will give him greater opportunities and seeding at the bigger tournaments!

Hehe!
A very intense method actor!

This made me giggle!

What an awful session and a dreadful last frame, all those misses from a dolly roll up snooker plus a load of negative safety on top of that
This is the potting table lads, the tight one left the arena wednesday night and you're supposed to be among the four the best players in the world as of right now. Wilson and Gilbert are doing ok on it so c'mon.

[Billy]

When discussing the miss rule / play-it-safe escapes, why does Neil keep saying “a player doesn’t care if he gives 50-60 points away in fouls, as long as he gets it safe” ?

Surely if he give that many points away in fouls, his opponent will already be a long way towards winning the frame?

[trains]

9-9 careless black from the Gilb, will it cost him ?

Andy Lee sitting in Dave Gilberts family cubicle.

His two year card ended like it never happened in the first place, is he going to spend another odd grand entering the q school this year ? whats the point ?
