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

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.

not_goodwin are you driving while watching the snooker world championship final and posting to ilx

They should do a retro tournament special where these new young players drink pints and smoke while playing 30 odd frames.
― not_goodwin, Monday, 3 May 2010 22:31 (fourteen years ago) link
xpost, ha!
no, the film "the road"
looooooool

Tactfully avoiding mentioning Quinten Hann there, well done Dennis.

When did the Ebdon-Dott nightmare finish? Cos I think that was later than 1985's final, and as such the latest ever. But this will surely go roaring past that...
― William Bloody Swygart, Monday, 3 May 2010 22:51 (fourteen years ago) link
guh
― lmbo slice (cozen), Monday, 3 May 2010 22:55 (fourteen years ago) link

cba by the looks of it

i know what you mean, the soothing sound of virgo and the clunk of the balls is kinda hypnotic

xposteven the clapping sounds tired
― not_goodwin, Monday, 3 May 2010 23:03 (fourteen years ago) link
I actually feel I could go to sleep for an hour or so, and wake up and they'd still be on this frame.
― ailsa, Monday, 3 May 2010 23:11 (fourteen years ago) link
does anyone think dott can still win this?
― lmbo slice (cozen), Monday, 3 May 2010 23:14 (fourteen years ago) link
no

Latest one was Selby v Higgins in 2007, according to the bloke propping his eyes open with matchsticks on the Beeb's text commentary site.

Cliff Thorburn's moustache - still got it.
― William Bloody Swygart, Monday, 3 May 2010 23:18 (fourteen years ago) link
Mistakes galore!
― not_goodwin, Monday, 3 May 2010 23:19 (fourteen years ago) link
Cliff look damn sharp, bet he's got some stories to tell?
this will not go on much longer - the extra gear has been found

gd is tiring a little?
he's fucked
totally out of this w/no way back in

Come on, slow down or this won't even be the latest finish ever!
― ailsa, Monday, 3 May 2010 23:52 (fourteen years ago) link

― sausage s4rgent (acoleuthic), Monday, 3 May 2010 23:54 (fourteen years ago) link
