World Snooker Championship 2019

[Facecloth]

Eurgh, another Higgins final ?

[ren]

Emotional stuff watching Gilbert tear up there, inspirational man. Fair play to Higgins though true grit from him.

[Facecloth]

Repeat of the 2011 final it is then.

[The Bear]

Gary Wilson calling the table "disgusting". 

 

It didn't look great to be fair. 

[Bert]

It’s more of a showpiece final with two big names. Harsh on the two losing semi finalists who have probably played he best snooker throughout the tournament and of their lives. Hoping for a Trump win, revenge for 8 years ago.

I'm still trying work out why Selby calls himself 'The Jester from Leicester'. If it's not because of the rhyming words, is it because he's pulling everyone's leg with his world ranking of No.2? 

[The Bear]

I think he's a bit of a prankster with the other players.

Does he call himself that? Do any of the players choose their nicknames? I thought they were all made up by the guy that introduces them into the arena, and the Jester from Leicester came about because it rhymed.

Trump will win this comfortably. 

[Nalis]

Virgo is an annoying commentator, McManus is a class above.

Decent quality final so far, I reckon Trump but something like 18-15 or 18-16.

Anytime a ball not intended to be potted goes within 6 feet of a pocket its something like "WHERE'S THE BLACK GOING!!! WHERE'S THE BLACK GOING!!!!!" 

 

So annoying.

[Voll Blau]

Going to be some final if they keep playing at this pace.

[purpleronnie]

I actually said Higgings would win even when he looked completely out of it against Gilbert....the one player I don't want to win it probably will.

On that thought, I should go and put some money on a west brom v derby final.

[EastAnglianFox]

Id like Alan McManus to read me bed time stories, lovely, lovely tones.

I said this to my old man yesterday hahahaha. Don't mind him too much until he says that, reckon he has a preset of "Where's the cue ball going" and just presses a button for it to be broadcasted.

[Izzy]

Another century from Trump. Totally in the zone and playing some lovely stuff.

A joy to watch at the moment.

[EastAnglianFox]

Higgins needs to slow this down somehow and drag the frames into a bit of a bore fest ....Judd looking incredible.

Seen this posted online earlier, made me laugh

[SouthStandUpperTier]

Anyone else disturbed by Dennis Taylor's heavy breathing?

[ScouseFox]

in this last frame john higgins has played possibly 3 of the worst shots i’ve ever seen in any form of snooker, let alone just the professional game.

He's clearly rattled. Trump is devastating his fat arse at the moment.

[kingfox]

Wouldn't be surprised in the slightest if this ends tomorrow afternoon.

 

Judd full of confidence and in the zone.

surely he’s fixed it. he tried to roll in behind the green from about a foot away and finished about 11 inches away. absolutely remarkable.

I hadn't considered that. That was a shocker, that one. He's got previous, hasn't he?
