2016 World Championship discussion

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."

To be fair to Willie, the middle pockets are playing as tight as usual whereas the corner pockets are playing a lot bigger.

Again. This sadly is nowhere near the quality of the Ding vs McManus semi...
Expecting Selby to come through, though.

I really hope he's not going to spoil the final...

Willie shouldn't be allowed to comm on Selby's matches should he?

He's a Pita...

the frame earlier when Fu tried to open the reds off the blue into the pink on the black spot, Willie called it a poor shot, if it was Selby that missed the bunch he would of said how unlucky he was!!

That's one of the beauties of snooker, the A-game is lovely to watch and the b/c game gives you drama and tension. You can't loose. :snooker:

Best of all when you get a mix of both of course. Nice century by Marco and now it's 7 - 7. Great stuff.

Selby has been atrocious...i doubt he can play worse if he tried.

wow, tip surgery required !

the slow-mo - chalk caught it on an upwards motion

[golferson123]

wtf,,,,,,,,,,

[daffie]

Ouch! What bad timing indeed.

[Cov86]

Gutting for Marco.... if he has to put a new tip on it could cost him this match......... just look at how badly it affected Williams in his match.

Seemed to come off very easily. I usually have to take a jackhammer to mine.

Fu is absolutely bossing this match as well.... unbelievable.

Hopefully he's got the sense to have one that's been played in, that would help but it's certainly not ideal. Hope it doesn't affect him too much.

Playing very well it seems not to have affected him too much. Maybe even a century!
