2014 World Championship - Discussion

If thats what your saying mate, i was just pretending to be a font of knowledge when really i copied and pasted it off Twitter.

I'm a very rare twitterer but I've just seen it.

For the record, frame 27 of the 2006 final was 74 minutes 8 seconds. After seventeen minutes all the reds were still on the table!

Yeah agreed, poor from the crowd. The headsets don't help either as I always say, with the crowd tittering at every single (un)funny quip from Virgo. Go and watch the snooker......stay at home if you want to listen to the commentary.

Virgo should refrain from trying to get a laugh from the crowd, this is a serious frame!

I'm getting absolutely sick to death of Virgo, Parrot, Doherty, and Taylor treating the crucible as their own little comedy circuit. Drop the ego boys and adopt a little professionalism for pitty's sake. You of all people should realise how serious this is. And they go on and on about what a distraction mobile phones are.

Ah thanks. So it's actually the third, not the second longest frame at the Crucible.

It was good to see Kyren smile. He looks like he's got a brilliant temperament.

[robertmac]

The worst of it is, Tuesday is the one day the Graduate pub across the road closes at midnight!

I think i'd want a stiff drink after that too.

Spot on. Thought that at the time. Idiots. One of them did it on Ronnie's max as well. Absolute clowns.

[P.Smith]

so we were roughly 3 minutes shy of it been the longest ever frame of snooker of all time....wow

At the Crucible it's 75 minutes dead - frame 2 of Maguire-King in 2009.

I expect you can watch it on Youtube if you've got the bandwidth!

A rousing 'Bronx cheer' to Walden. This frame has been a painful watch, to say the least.
