Thanks. Bit before my time so I didn't know the name but recognised the song. Great tune!

No prob And to think several music fanatics are known to have said they found SRV's version superior to the original one. Btw I agree.


McManus would be advised to pinch this 20th frame. Either way...what a semi final this is! :snooker:

you don't recognise "Jimi Hendrix" ouch I'm getting old


:wink:

We're a fickle lot us snooker fans, aren't we?

All the support we saw for Ding up until this match, has all but disappeared. McManus winning the WC would be a great fairy tale and I wouldn't begrudge it him for a second, but I'm starting to feel a bit sorry for Ding. I just hope he doesn't sense the crowd's lack of support for him and feel like he's being ganged up on like he did against O'Sullivan back at the start of his career.


Well that's not difficult, is it?

Doesn't help with commentator showering praises upon praise when AM at the table, obv crucible crowds with their earpiece going to response

It's Voodoo Chile (slight return) by Jimi Hendrix. Voodoo Chile sounds completely different, I had it on CD when I was at school. Just to be a bit pedantic

[jonny66]

Also Jimi Hendrix is not before anyone's time, legend, go and listen to some.

Back on topic, c'mon Alan!

You're right though (about the slight return). Left the pedantic part over to you

Bit of a scrappy frame this but a very important one!

C'mon Alan. ...

Those middle bags must be tight, you could knock those missed shots in at a decent pace on our club tables without too much worry.

I feel the match is slipping away from Alan a bit here. The last couple of frames he has missed chances... not easy ones but still he needed to take them.

Looks like 12-8, somehow McManus has got to win the next frame.

But if Ding does make a 147 or get close here that might just throw his concentration for a frame or two, allowing Alan to sneak back?

[daffie]

C'mon ding! !!

Ah what a shame...would have been beautiful.

[itsnoteasy]

Cliffs looking well, always great to see him.

[Billy]

Marco Fu, Ding Junhui, both Chinese. Marco goes down on the scoreboard as 'Fu' (surname (to us) like the rest of the Western players). Ding goes down as 'Ding' (Christian name (to us).

Why?

Ding is playing with real authority and aggression, very impressed with the way he's responded to Alan's comeback.

So tomorrow evening the BBC will air the Rack Pack. I liked it...as a snooker fan you really can't go wrong.

Agreed! And the msi came at the exact right time after failing the 147.
