These guys make it look pretty easy though.

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 :(
― not_goodwin, Monday, 3 May 2010 20:35 (fourteen years ago) link
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 (fourteen years ago) link
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 (fourteen years ago) link
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.
― not_goodwin, Monday, 3 May 2010 20:39 (fourteen years ago) link
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 :)
― not_goodwin, Monday, 3 May 2010 20:43 (fourteen years ago) link
Do you all have snooker nicknames? Not "the wizard" Goodwin?
― StanM, Monday, 3 May 2010 20:44 (fourteen years ago) link
i'm getting that on a t-shirt :)
― not_goodwin, Monday, 3 May 2010 20:47 (fourteen years ago) link
Incredible couple of shots here from Dotty
― Ismael Klata, Monday, 3 May 2010 20:48 (fourteen years ago) link
sweet snooker from dotty
― not_goodwin, Monday, 3 May 2010 20:49 (fourteen years ago) link
if Dott wins this thread I'm putting my fist through the screen
― sausage s4rgent (acoleuthic), Monday, 3 May 2010 20:50 (fourteen years ago) link
lucky there's a vacancy for a 'wizard' at the top level at the moment too xp
― Ismael Klata, Monday, 3 May 2010 20:50 (fourteen years ago) link
you know you've been on ILX too long when
― sausage s4rgent (acoleuthic), Monday, 3 May 2010 20:51 (fourteen years ago) link
not noticed any of dotts comments on thread yet ;)

Ding Junhui's wikipedia says: "A 26-episode cartoon series Dragon Ball No.1 by Beijing-based D5 Studio, based on Ding's growth from a shy boy to a snooker star, is expected to be broadcast on TV in 2010"

Hope it's more uplifting than John Parrott's effort
― Ismael Klata, Monday, 3 May 2010 21:00 (fourteen years ago) link
Was this John Parrott film directed by Terence Davies?
― xyzzzz__, Monday, 3 May 2010 21:04 (fourteen years ago) link
Jeez, how depressing, this.
― StanM, Monday, 3 May 2010 21:04 (fourteen years ago) link
I am not going to let this pass w/out comment so I'll just press *submit post* button now

he's 8 years older than me & he's basically said he may as well be dead :(
― not_goodwin, Monday, 3 May 2010 21:06 (fourteen years ago) link
Yeah, that Parrott thing was some bleak shit.
― ailsa, Monday, 3 May 2010 21:09 (fourteen years ago) link
Dotts got some fun bags to keep him happy if he loses.
i bet he's really rough in the sack but still has 11 year old voice!
― not_goodwin, Monday, 3 May 2010 21:12 (fourteen years ago) link
"it's great to see you're getting on so well" (graeme's wife and Neil's mother) - yeah, well, you put them next to each other on a couch on live tv, what did you think was going to happen?
― StanM, Monday, 3 May 2010 21:17 (fourteen years ago) link
you know the snooker's shit when people start speculating about the players' shagging prowess.

About that short compilation they just showed: were Maguire and Lee here this year? I thought they were suspected of match fixing and irregular betting, respectively?
― StanM, Monday, 3 May 2010 21:25 (fourteen years ago) link
I can't take much more of this. Dott will still be inching his way to the title when I get up tomorrow morning.
― Ismael Klata, Monday, 3 May 2010 21:46 (fourteen years ago) link
Yeah, I'm giving up too. Nearly midnight here, there's still at least a couple of hours in this. Good luck everyone!
― StanM, Monday, 3 May 2010 21:52 (fourteen years ago) link
Dott's playing quite well but Robertson is playing terrible
― Ismael Klata, Monday, 3 May 2010 21:54 (fourteen years ago) link
I guess it's nerves, his 1st final and all?
― not_goodwin, Monday, 3 May 2010 21:57 (fourteen years ago) link
i thought StanM was english?
Belgisch snookerfreak I believe - don't know if he's from Blighty originally
― Ismael Klata, Monday, 3 May 2010 21:59 (fourteen years ago) link
Belgian iirc
Helluva long frame there followed by lots of crappy 'COME ON' air punching.
― mierda defensa ... no impedir ... espectador (onimo), Monday, 3 May 2010 22:02 (fourteen years ago) link
tht whole frame was excruciating

Ahhh Belgian, was wondering where his nearly midnight come from.
― not_goodwin, Monday, 3 May 2010 22:08 (fourteen years ago) link
this fucking match
― sausage s4rgent (acoleuthic), Monday, 3 May 2010 22:24 (fourteen years ago) link
i know, i may retire, keep checking iplayer while watching the road.

Like the great champion he is, Ray Reardon has spotted that Rishi is tiring and is proceeding to grind him down.
