UK Championship 2013/2014

[brusque]

So Bingham has already won the two frames I predicted him to. Robbo is not out of second gear yet and I doubt he will need to against Bingham.

[Odrl]

That was a great frame. :smile:

A lesson for all the players unwilling to fight on for snookers, especially when reds are still on the table and you can potentially get 12 points off a single mistake. Wasn't enough in the end though, so he better forget this frame quickly, because he needs the next one to give himself a chance in the evening. :wink:

Bet Bingham was relieved to get that last frame on the board......

I found that quite funny actually.

The problem is, they play so so so many more frames of snooker these days. They keep on about how some players are making 60 or so a season now, but seem to ignore the fact they are playing 75% more snooker.

Is it not time we ignore the total centuries record and started following a system of 'Century's made, per frame played'? (the only accurate way I can think of using now) - and if we do that, we discover that Ding is possibly the best century maker of them all, here is a list.... (not including all players, just 10 examples, there are obviously players that would be in the top 10 I have not used) - Note Not up to date either!

Ding Junhui 1 century every 11.1 frames
Ronnie O'Sullivan 1 century every 12.34 frames
Judd Trump 1 century every 13.73 frames
Neil Robertson 1 century every 14.43 frames
Stephen Hendry 1 century every 15.13 frames
Mark Selby 1 century every 16.02 frame
John Higgins 1 century every 16.75 frames
Shaun Murphy 1 century every 18.51 frames
Mark Williams 1 century every 26.88 frames
Steve Davies 1 century every 35.08 frames
Jimmy White 1 century every 35.55 frames

does not really work like that though - faster cloths mean balls break better now than in the past. it is impossible to compare.

Who cares? :P

[aderion]

Who cares? :P

That's the exact answer i hear when i tell people i am going to play/watch snooker.

[ADR147]

Who cares? :P

sadly i do - i think it is the same with all sports though, how good would george best or gazza have been had they been better managed etc etc....

[cyberheater]

I can't watch. I'm taping it at the moment and watching the livescores.

So it's 6-3 to Robbo. What are you doing Stuart.

[Masterdoctorgenius]

WTF
Ronnie on twitter

"Ronnie O'Sullivan @ronnieo147

thinking about enetering the masters at ally pally - what ya think - yes or no - so unsure"

[Valiullin]

Eurosport commentators are so devastated. Have a bias if you like but please try to hide it...

[Odrl]

No way back from here, I'm afraid... Not when Bingham is missing easy balls in every frame and Robertson is playing alright. Is there going to be an interval?

[Odrl]

Nice break, hopefully Bingham can play another couple of good frames now that he has nothing to lose. :smile:

score could easily have been 8-4 the other way but 5 in a row against robertson is not going to happen.
