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?

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 (fourteen years ago) link
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...

Think 60-40 chance on Robertson winning...but I thought Selby would beat Dott and he didn't.

who's actually supporting Dott

We need a new boring resilient dogged Scotsman now that Higgins is mildly interesting.

we definitely don't
― sausage s4rgent (acoleuthic), Monday, 3 May 2010 19:15 (fourteen years ago) link
especially not one who's already boringed his way to one world title
― sausage s4rgent (acoleuthic), Monday, 3 May 2010 19:16 (fourteen years ago) link
Wonder how many titles Higgins threw at O'Sullivan for cash pounds...
― mierda defensa ... no impedir ... espectador (onimo), Monday, 3 May 2010 19:16 (fourteen years ago) link
Also wonder if Steve Davis is questioning the value of his recent giant killing...

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 (fourteen years ago) link
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 (fourteen years ago) link
awesome self-snooker there from the dottster
― sausage s4rgent (acoleuthic), Monday, 3 May 2010 19:20 (fourteen years ago) link
Right, that's a spanking. xpost

What a RILF, eh?

She's no Len Ganley.

Cozen is supporting Dott..

Very disappointed Michaela only refereed the SF.

RILF indeed :)She has had a bit of favouritism, tis unfair to the guys who were here before her.

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 (fourteen years ago) link
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 (fourteen years ago) link
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 (fourteen years ago) link
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 (fourteen years ago) link
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 (fourteen years ago) link
Never touched a snookerbat in my life.
― StanM, Monday, 3 May 2010 20:20 (fourteen years ago) link
These guys make it look pretty easy though.
― StanM, Monday, 3 May 2010 20:21 (fourteen years ago) link
Dabbler too (snooker and pool), would def like to get more into it..

I'm actually supporting dott
the other dude's a haircut

I wish Dott'd be a little more stoic and stop making faces at his fans. :-/

Snookerbat?
I think you'll find it's a stick!
I play about 6-8 hours a week, wish it was more.

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

best break, 38 :(

I play almost never and mine's 32 :P
Played a LOT of pool at uni mind

Ah, that's okay, mine's in the twenties - you were setting yourself up as some kind of hustler there

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 (fourteen years ago) link
i shit it, when i get near 20, the pressure's too much :-/these guys on tv have it easy.

What is up with Robertson?
― Ismael Klata, Monday, 3 May 2010 20:42 (fourteen years ago) link
to my defence, there were no black or pinks involved.used to play on pub pool team, got ridiculous with rules, so i quit. was told i'd get a smack in the face if i didn't come to next game.never happened :)

Do you all have snooker nicknames? Not "the wizard" Goodwin?
