2019 World Snooker Championship

[the lone wolf]

Yeah, I always thought this looks like: "What in the world happened there?! I can't have made a mistake!"

Exactly Jim...
I find it slightly annoying and just a little bit arrogant.
But nothing to take away the fact that the kid can play

I wish someone would tell Walker that "el capitano" is not even Spanish for captain. It's just such cringe...

But Il Capitano is an arrogant, blustery character from commedia dell'arte, so in some ways it fits

[Stony152]

Honestly I think neither is a really fitting comparison. (Not that I can think of a better one myself).

I see the Robert Mitchum comparison. How about a young John Cusack?

What a comeback from Zhou.

What a comeback from Zhou.

Yeah, but I strongly suspect those of us enjoying it on the red button channel are going to be forced into watching the Wilson/Hawkings match when coverage of that ends at 8.

That's when I put a film on or something. Wilson on my eyes and Murphy in my ears would be just too much for a Sunday night.

[Stony152]

Murphy, Parrott, or gouging out my eyes with dull scissors?

Come on... :smile:

The advantage of having Eurosport. I only ever watch the coverage on the BBC during the ad breaks. Sometimes the ad breaks are preferable to the BBC.

WS's FB page is streaming both matches live.

Come on... :smile:

Does anyone remember what rock 'n' roll song Wilson used to walk on to?

[JimMalone]

Come on... :smile:

I think Kyrens face is much more "moony".

I actually think Wilson looks like somebody they would have casted to play a chinese gangster in the 30s.

[fkhan]

Lol, Carter forgot/did not realise that the scores are level.

Never mind. Just come to me. Twas See You Later Alligator.

Okay, I give up. :smile:

Big moment in the Carter-Zhou match, Carter getting two snookers and winning the re-spot... This will be a good test of Zhou's composure now. :smile:

[Stony152]

Okay, I give up. :smile:

I'm with you. There is a very strong resemblance.
