2016 World Championship discussion

not bad from Alan to say he had a massive bogey hanging out of his nose the whole session! ;-)

[wemba]

McManus is playing well but his long potting is his Achilles heel.
Ding looks in control but his confidence can evaporate.
This match might be decided by a fluke?

[stephenm2682]

i want to see alan do the 4 cushion pot on the black on a 147!

[stephenm2682]

f*** me why is Willie Thorne on again, he did the last match! and his ass kissing Selby does my nut in

I was just coming on to post the same thing. i realise dennis taylor has been recovering from an operation but what happened to all the commentators from earlier in the championship? get them back and get willie thorne out!

only yesterday he was saying towards the end of a frame that potting the blue would make it difficult to get on the pink. john virgo had to come in and say the player only needed the blue. useless! as commentators go the not-very-great WT has to be near the bottom of the pile

i can't stand any more of him, particularly as its Selby playing. will have to watch with the sound turned down

[daffie]

What's that enormous hideous bulge on Marco's wrist? Oh wait...it's a watch

Well done though, just 1 frame behind now.

my thoughts exactly, not suppose to have any bias towards players yet he blatantly does

[itsnoteasy]

Oh no Steve Davis is a big bag conspiracy theorists!

[stephenm2682]

hahaha 1 red no blacks!

Just an ocd point from me, and I don't mind Fu so much as he's very light on the table, but I'm not keen on players having watches on their bridge hands, clasps and metal straps scraping on the cloth can't be good especially with those players that slide into the shot.

[P.Smith]

The left hand black pocket on this table is huge. I've seen so many balls go in off the far jaw that shouldn't have.

[itsnoteasy]

Did you see that black! Now that just missed there is no other way you can describe that.

I have wondered about that same thing a lot of times actually. Seems strange indeed it is allowed. Not sure how big a chance there is of damaging the cloth, but still it's possible I feel.

probably more chance in playing a deep screw and ripping the cloth

Bloody typical of Willie Thorne:

Yesterday (red shaves the bump of middle pocket and doesn't drop) "Oh, my word! How has that not dropped... and people are saying these pockets are easy. Do me a favour."

Today (red hits bump of corner pocket and drops) "What on earth is going on here? That wouldn't have gone in on a nine-ball pool table."
