2018 World Championship

I do let stupid things annoy me, but there's a woman in the front row of the audience, right side as we look at the table, candy-pink top, who's spent the entire first three frames with her head tilted up at the monitor, grinning like a moron because she can see herself on it. Absolutely zero interest in the match!

Someone give her a mirror and tell her to **** off home.

ETA: Her seat became mysteriously empty after I posted the above.

I didn't mean it

Lol, might have got the boot.

At 3-0 down I am sure Wilson would have been quite happy with only a 2 frame deficit, though considering it looked for all the world he was going to pinch that 8th frame I'm sure he will feel disappointed.

Had the most enjoyable session of TV snooker for a long time last night. Both Trump and Higgins played great and nothing against Judd but I was cheering for John. You know you're a real fan when sat at home punching the air shouting COME ON JOHN!!! No bad shot selection from either player apart from one red Judd took on and missed losing him the frame. It was a blind shot in to the green pocket and he should have played safe but apart from that he was faultless.

[JimMalone]

I would think 5-3 is a pretty good result for Higgins, who seemed to be a bit tired from his late match yesterday.

[Billy]

This is why you're not in charge of the nicknames.

Hehehe. Correct.

[cesard]

I hope young Wilson isnt doing a few lines of coke to cause that nosebleed.

He showed himself very nervous at the start of the session, in the very first few frames

But "fortunetaly" he was better in mood, confident in the 2nd part of it

[cesard]

"Remember you promised to lose the eighth frame. I've put five thousand pounds on it as we agreed." :biggrin:




Sorry, couldn't resist.


He just told him that Wilson hat nosebleed and it would take a few minutes and if he wanted to leave the room for this time span.

Ok, thanks

I don't play and am hugely unobservant, but if the pockets are so massive all the time, how does anyone miss? I'm not saying they're not -I couldn't tell one pocket from another to be honest - just curious.

Any shot can be missed at any time, doesn't matter how big the pockets. Just concentration lapses, trying to do too much with the cueball, etc. A lot of the shots going into the corner pockets are hitting the outer edges of the jaws and still going in, that's generally not normal behaviour for these.

Yup, anyone that's been watching a while can see there's plenty of balls going in that shouldn't, but seems some are too busy drinking the commentator kool aid that the pockets are as tight as a ducks arse.

Good century from Kyren likes-to-put-his-chalk-on-the-cushion Wilson.

Loool, you are probably not far from the truth on that.

Shame Wilson threw that one away

Shouldnt these things be standardised according to rules or something?

Higgins really likes to praise opponents when they lose.
"Soon they will become huge champions and they will brutally beat my ass every time" He never forgets to put his jokes there
