2014 World Championship - Discussion

[svdyc]

Yes I hope Dom fares well under the new ranking / prize money list system. He plays such good attractive snooker. I imagine with him winning the Shoot-out, that he'll get an invite to Champion of Champions??

The Shoot Out winner is the 25th on the invitation list. Interesting to see how far down the list they'll have to go to get 16 different players.

I'd like to see Dale there. When he is playing well it can be very entertaining to watch.

Please Dominic, finish this off today... Can't believe Ding lost to this player. What a waste.

Well BBC has full coverage, and you're on here you obviously have internet access... so worst case scenario is the Fromsport / Sport Lemon feed... At least that gives you BBC coverage with decent commentators..

Yes but I can't record the internet stuff.

It's really disappointing that the Virgin media listing stated that we would have coverage from 2:30pm. The website stated 3:00pm (which is guess is GMT). It's nearly 4:30pm and still no snooker to record.

It's extremely frustrating.

Still no snooker on Eurosport.

No, it was at end of a frame earlier with just pink and black on table - Dom was 25 behind and tried for a snooker.. No controversy really.

Wasley was waving his arm in the air as he had eventually gotten the second frame and was walking out the auditorium, the frame had not finished, and Dom was well in his rights to continue, and I don't think WT should have said what he said about Dom being "unsportsman" (?).
Wasley should not have "assumed" the frame was over, until the ref says so.
excitement I am sure
I hope Wasley starts playing in the way we have seen him recently...

i saw when dale was playing the exhibition stuff last night to go 7-1 and wasley was walking and put the black over the hole, is this the controversy?

What is it with snooker players and downright ugly designer shoes? That's the third pair this week!

[DeanH]

Hells bells...... Those are certainly a pair of shoes, somebody phone the fashion police!!

Dom said in an interview that they were from Cardiff (?) and were £165, so only a bit cheaper than Judd's atrocities

[cyberheater]

Aah...now i understand - cheers for the clarification.

Dom is great to watch. He played superb last year against Trump, I was at that match and it was quality - and this year V Mark Davis was good standard again. What I like about Dale is he just get's on with it, he loves snooker and plays to a very high standard. A fine break-builder and with a decent safety game.

Come on Dom!

Yes. When you see Dom playing well you wonder why he isn't in the top 16.

I think he was teaching Wasley a lesson as Wasley had started to walk out of the arena after he thought he'd won that frame.

9 - 2 to Dom now.

managed to capture this, looks like a stylised DD under a crown and above something - maybe a year
after seeing this I have a vague recall of seeing this badge clearly on a post somewhere...

[cyberheater]

yes... Willie Thorne said something bout it being un-sporting?? Seems a daft comment from WT, as Dale is a great sportsman and a gentleman of the game..

Its a trev white cue with a badge Dom designed himself.
