World Snooker Championships Discussion

I've gone off Barry Hawkins because of one single incident: his fluked pink to go one frame away from winning the match. It wasn't the fluke itself, but the fact that Hawkins didn't even offer so much as a raised hand in apology to Ding.

Going off a player for a single incident is a little harsh - now, if he did it every time, sure, agreed.

Feel like O'Sullivan's semi-final will decide the winner, with probably a pretty runaway final to follow. Should be a good match anyway!

But snooker aside - how many times will some people in the background outside have to duck down into the shot and pull a face for the camera before they realise that they're idiots? Will the novelty ever wear off? Mind blowing...

You just read my mind...idiots indeed.

True, but then my comment wasn't meant to be taken quite so literally

I'm just bitter because I wanted Ding to get to (and win) the final. No arguing, Hawkins played better than Ding and fully deserved his win, and besides, there's really nothing not to like about Hawkins.

Hawkins ... beaten the next big talent in the game, the world number 1 and shortly the top ranked player left in his half of the draw, I know Selby underperformed but he still should be given credit for his performance here

Yep, Barry has done well.

Still I think ROS (or maybe Trump )to win it all.

Neil Robertson must be kicking himself.

And mine! I was about to make a similar post yesterday but never got round to it. All the time I'm watching them I'm thinking, "How fu**ing old are you??"

WOW that red was unreal, shot of the championship

Makes my blood boil everytime. It's very distracting as well, especially when Hazel & Co are chatting away and someone in the background on their phone making sure they are in shot..

Trump looks sharp today.

I hope he wins. Trump/O'Sullivan has the feel of White/Higgins, '82 semi final.

[Odrl]

Nice start from Trump, that pot to get himself out of trouble was superb. :smile:

[cueman]

careless black from Trump, should have took more care as it wasn't a gimme. Giving Shaun a chance to get his arm going after freezing him out the first frame could be costly.

[FOXMULDER]

12-12 all day long, this one.

[daffie]

Ok Shaun...that's the way to do it!
