Snooker 2024

Bingham having two world titles given the class that either has 0 or 1 would be hilarious.

OK here's something for the players out there.

 

It's a bugbear of mine when a player plays his safety shot then walks around the table to see what shot his opponent has.  Why do they do this?  I have never done it.  What diference does it make, its not your shot.

 

Maybe I'm missing something here

I guess they’re weighing up the position they might be in next time they’re at the table? Remember these pro’s are about 3 shots ahead of us mere mortals

Fairly simple. You want to know if you've left them anything to go at.

Another shared session in Gilbert’s semi final. He’s playing well, scoring well. 
Fingers crossed for him.

Very back and forth frame to frame. Will be a close one.

Jones v Bingham is a tough watch 🤣🤣

Do what I'm doing and don't waste your time.

 

Might watch the last couple of frames if it goes to 15-15 or something

But what difference does it make?  Its not your shot.  I cant imagine playing a safety and then walking around the table to look at it. Maybe its just me lol.

[Bobby Hundreds]

That last session frame was hilariously bad. 49 points given away by Jones in fouls. 😅

It helped me nod off and have a few zzzzzzs after finishing work!!!!

 

Now watching Wilson v Gilbeet is like watching 2 boxers slug it out rather than 2 boxers running around the ring trying not to get hit!!

 

Pity this one isnt the final!

[SouthStandUpperTier]

Gilbert warming up and doing stretching exercises to play snooker is funny as ****.

It's human nature. 

 

If you think you might have messed something up you're curious to see what will happen. 

 

If you reverse your car right up bumper to bumper with another car or wall, do you never walk round and see what gap you've left, even if you're parking up and walking away?

So what you're saying is I'm weird.

Wilson has pulled away and looks set to reach the final.

Dave definitely needs to win the first couple of frames out of the gate tomorrow.

Jones has an unreal mentality. Everything he lacks in skill, he’s destroying his opponents in their head. At least people will never call Selby boring again.

If Jones wins it, he would be the worst champion since Peter Ebdon… I’m hoping for a Wilson, Bingham final 

[kingfox]

Ebdon should work with Jak Jones instead, match made in heaven.

I still have mental scars from the Edbon Dott final

[SouthStandUpperTier]

Need someone to uncurl my toes after Rob Walker introduced Kyren Wilson by saying, "Come on Daddy!".

[The Bear]

Jeez Wilson has had some run of the balls last night and this frame.

I think it’s written for Wilson unless he crumbles in the final. Seems to have found some consistently good form.

[Nalis]

Crazy how one of these 3 will be 1 ahead of Ding and level with Judd and Robertson on worlds. Or in the case of Bingham 2 ahead of Ding 1 ahead of Judd and Robertson.

[isaidno]

Advantage Wilson now because these 2 will be playing until 4am
