who has the more embarrassing hair here. dott with the plugs or the feathered bondi barnet of robbo?
― Times New Excels At (jim in glasgow), Monday, 3 May 2010 14:23 (fifteen years ago)
are they plugs?
― Michael B, Monday, 3 May 2010 15:35 (fifteen years ago)
At this pace they're not going to have a very long break between the sessions, if there's going to be one at all.
― StanM, Monday, 3 May 2010 16:18 (fifteen years ago)
don't think so.
nice century there by dott.
― Times New Excels At (jim in glasgow), Monday, 3 May 2010 17:10 (fifteen years ago)
not plugs, just thinning hair with gel.
― not_goodwin, Monday, 3 May 2010 17:13 (fifteen years ago)
Er, only 6 frames in this session then?
― StanM, Monday, 3 May 2010 17:20 (fifteen years ago)
Yeah, originally eight frames but last session has to start by 8pm so it can be cut short to allow enough for a break.
― xyzzzz__, Monday, 3 May 2010 17:43 (fifteen years ago)
Ah. Thanks, did not know that.
― StanM, Monday, 3 May 2010 17:44 (fifteen years ago)
Didn't really want these 2 in the final, but if Dott's had a mini siesta, it could be interesting. Will go with bed-head to win though. Whoever wins, will cry i'm guessing?
― not_goodwin, Monday, 3 May 2010 18:56 (fifteen years ago)
Dott's crying already (I know, I know, it's just his face, he can't help it)
― StanM, Monday, 3 May 2010 19:05 (fifteen years ago)
Robertson's got another three gears, so I kinda expect him to cruise the rest. Dodgy positional play will always be his weak-spot, though...
― sausage s4rgent (acoleuthic), Monday, 3 May 2010 19:06 (fifteen years ago)
Think 60-40 chance on Robertson winning...but I thought Selby would beat Dott and he didn't.
― xyzzzz__, Monday, 3 May 2010 19:08 (fifteen years ago)
who's actually supporting Dott
― sausage s4rgent (acoleuthic), Monday, 3 May 2010 19:13 (fifteen years ago)
We need a new boring resilient dogged Scotsman now that Higgins is mildly interesting.
― mierda defensa ... no impedir ... espectador (onimo), Monday, 3 May 2010 19:14 (fifteen years ago)
we definitely don't
― sausage s4rgent (acoleuthic), Monday, 3 May 2010 19:15 (fifteen years ago)
especially not one who's already boringed his way to one world title
― sausage s4rgent (acoleuthic), Monday, 3 May 2010 19:16 (fifteen years ago)
Wonder how many titles Higgins threw at O'Sullivan for cash pounds...
― mierda defensa ... no impedir ... espectador (onimo), Monday, 3 May 2010 19:16 (fifteen years ago)
Also wonder if Steve Davis is questioning the value of his recent giant killing...
― mierda defensa ... no impedir ... espectador (onimo), Monday, 3 May 2010 19:17 (fifteen years ago)
who's actually supporting Dotthe's getting a few cheers and c'mons!
― not_goodwin, Monday, 3 May 2010 19:17 (fifteen years ago)
from british nationalists
― sausage s4rgent (acoleuthic), Monday, 3 May 2010 19:18 (fifteen years ago)
I was just going to hint at how suspicious the lack of centuries was in the final, as if they didn't dare score one because they knew the world's mafia was betting on it and the snooker police was watching their every move, and then Dott made one. :-/
― StanM, Monday, 3 May 2010 19:19 (fifteen years ago)
also, no lady ref for final?too busy pissing about with silly quiz's with old snooker players.
― not_goodwin, Monday, 3 May 2010 19:19 (fifteen years ago)
awesome self-snooker there from the dottster
― sausage s4rgent (acoleuthic), Monday, 3 May 2010 19:20 (fifteen years ago)
Right, that's a spanking. xpost

i wish!
alsoi like Robertsons foundation, really brings his eyes out ;)

What a RILF, eh?
― StanM, Monday, 3 May 2010 19:23 (fifteen years ago)
She's no Len Ganley.
― mierda defensa ... no impedir ... espectador (onimo), Monday, 3 May 2010 19:26 (fifteen years ago)
Cozen is supporting Dott..
― xyzzzz__, Monday, 3 May 2010 19:27 (fifteen years ago)

Very disappointed Michaela only refereed the SF.
― xyzzzz__, Monday, 3 May 2010 19:30 (fifteen years ago)
RILF indeed :)She has had a bit of favouritism, tis unfair to the guys who were here before her.
― not_goodwin, Monday, 3 May 2010 19:46 (fifteen years ago)
the rolling towards the pocket snooker championship thread btw
― sausage s4rgent (acoleuthic), Monday, 3 May 2010 19:50 (fifteen years ago)
So far it looks like the match carries on in a similar pattern: neither play really putting on any sustained fluency.
Looks like all is going to depend on how well Robertson can hold himself together in the final frames.
― xyzzzz__, Monday, 3 May 2010 19:54 (fifteen years ago)
What a strange succession of great and then terrible moments from both of them, all throughout this final.
― StanM, Monday, 3 May 2010 20:03 (fifteen years ago)
Funnily enough I think if Dott was not going for almost everything and playing more tactical stuff he'd get this. In the last frame he went for this stupid red instead of playing safe.
― xyzzzz__, Monday, 3 May 2010 20:13 (fifteen years ago)
Just out of interest, how many of you actually play the game?I do and love it!
― not_goodwin, Monday, 3 May 2010 20:15 (fifteen years ago)
I dabble now and then. Want to get back into it. My friend's a new convert so who knows...
― sausage s4rgent (acoleuthic), Monday, 3 May 2010 20:19 (fifteen years ago)
Never touched a snookerbat in my life.
― StanM, Monday, 3 May 2010 20:20 (fifteen years ago)
These guys make it look pretty easy though.
― StanM, Monday, 3 May 2010 20:21 (fifteen years ago)
Dabbler too (snooker and pool), would def like to get more into it..
― xyzzzz__, Monday, 3 May 2010 20:22 (fifteen years ago)
I'm actually supporting dott
the other dude's a haircut
― cozen, Monday, 3 May 2010 20:23 (fifteen years ago)
I wish Dott'd be a little more stoic and stop making faces at his fans. :-/
― StanM, Monday, 3 May 2010 20:24 (fifteen years ago)
british nationalists lmbo
robertson used to be fat
― cozen, Monday, 3 May 2010 20:24 (fifteen years ago)
how plush was snooker world championship finalist neil robertson's dressing room lmbo
― cozen, Monday, 3 May 2010 20:28 (fifteen years ago)
Snookerbat?
I think you'll find it's a stick!
I play about 6-8 hours a week, wish it was more.
― not_goodwin, Monday, 3 May 2010 20:29 (fifteen years ago)
I enjoy knocking balls around from time to time, but any time I find myself on a full-length table always turns into a very disheartening experience
― Ismael Klata, Monday, 3 May 2010 20:35 (fifteen years ago)
best break, 38 :(
― not_goodwin, Monday, 3 May 2010 20:35 (fifteen years ago)
I play almost never and mine's 32 :P
Played a LOT of pool at uni mind
― sausage s4rgent (acoleuthic), Monday, 3 May 2010 20:36 (fifteen years ago)
Ah, that's okay, mine's in the twenties - you were setting yourself up as some kind of hustler there
― Ismael Klata, Monday, 3 May 2010 20:38 (fifteen years ago)
Do you think they're deliberately not talking/official embargo about Robbo's baby that was due yesterday?
― StanM, Monday, 3 May 2010 20:39 (fifteen years ago)
i shit it, when i get near 20, the pressure's too much :-/these guys on tv have it easy.
