i find snooker strangely nice to watch on TV when there's nothing else on...i am such an old man its a little scary

― stevem (blueski), Monday, 5 May 2003 18:56 (twenty-three years ago)

nah, steve, when you start watching bowls, that's when you'll feel old!

― jel -- (jel), Monday, 5 May 2003 19:23 (twenty-three years ago)

come on Ken!

― Ronan (Ronan), Monday, 5 May 2003 20:09 (twenty-three years ago)

I got really sucked into a couple of games earlier this week. It's the same with darts and bowls. Give me an unathletic game for two hours and I'll watch it forever.

― RickyT (RickyT), Monday, 5 May 2003 20:23 (twenty-three years ago)

Come on Ken! F'ing Mark Williams: "oh, he's a character". I swear if Steve Davis talks about 'characters' one more time, Hazel Irvine about Man Utd's influence on Ken or (f'ing) SPORTS PSYCHOLOGY or John Parrot BREATHES once more. I swear!!!

COME ON KEN!

― Cozen (Cozen), Monday, 5 May 2003 20:26 (twenty-three years ago)

Tha guy who has been talking to Steve (Davis) and Ken (as a panel) about SPORTS PSYCHOLOGY (ie body language etc) is REALLY annoying (like me).

I just asked my li'l bro why he keeps saying "oooh, Ken's missed... come on Mark..." - apparently, he is "bamming me up". Fair do's.

What happened to the Sunday Night Final Climax? That was an INSTITUTION.

― Starry (Cozen), Monday, 5 May 2003 20:31 (twenty-three years ago)

nothing must be allowed to run over 24...they actually cancelled 24 for one week because of the fucking golf a month or so ago, that was bad enough

― stevem (blueski), Monday, 5 May 2003 20:37 (twenty-three years ago)

What happened to the Sunday Night Final Climax? That was an INSTITUTION.

Surely it's finished on a May Day BH Monday for ages?

Cor, 17-16... must watch exciting finish in bed. (Last year Pam fell asleep midway through 35th frame...)

― Michael Jones (MichaelJ), Monday, 5 May 2003 21:05 (twenty-three years ago)

just finished. mark 18-16

― Julio Desouza (jdesouza), Monday, 5 May 2003 21:16 (twenty-three years ago)

shame, feel sorry for Ken, but Williams seems a funny chap and pretty decent.

― Ronan (Ronan), Monday, 5 May 2003 21:17 (twenty-three years ago)

great match: i wished ken won really. Mark has been the best player. he trashed everybody on the way to the final and is world no1. and he knocked stephen hendry out so he's fine with me.

''is that the conway hall thing you went to?''

yup.

― Julio Desouza (jdesouza), Monday, 5 May 2003 21:19 (twenty-three years ago)

I always liked him. < /back-track>. haha, no, yeah, he did come off as a nice guy... More power to him and all that...

― Cozen (Cozen), Monday, 5 May 2003 21:20 (twenty-three years ago)

yeah, after his comeback in the semis i thought his name was on the trophy. oh well, it was a good game, and i quite like williams, too.

― weasel diesel (K1l14n), Monday, 5 May 2003 21:20 (twenty-three years ago)

I'm a right tool when it comes to snooker though (like most things, I suppose) in that I really like Stephen Hendry and really hate (HATE!) Ronnie O'Sullivan.

― Cozen (Cozen), Monday, 5 May 2003 21:23 (twenty-three years ago)

I like ronnie and i don't hate stephen (though many do) BUT i don't want him to win more world titles.

― Julio Desouza (jdesouza), Monday, 5 May 2003 21:36 (twenty-three years ago)

Ronnie O'Sullivan makes me think of the pig's head, goading me, making me stupid.

― RickyT (RickyT), Monday, 5 May 2003 21:39 (twenty-three years ago)

wah! ronnie is great and should win more world titles. you are just jealous of his talent. bunch of hataz!

― Julio Desouza (jdesouza), Monday, 5 May 2003 21:41 (twenty-three years ago)

ppl hate ronnie cos he's an arrogant prick, but yes, he is entertaining.

― weasel diesel (K1l14n), Monday, 5 May 2003 22:17 (twenty-three years ago)

Ronnie O'Sullivan is like a modern day Michael Corleone.

― Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Monday, 5 May 2003 22:29 (twenty-three years ago)

come on Jimmy!

― stevem (blueski), Tuesday, 6 May 2003 01:05 (twenty-three years ago)

Reserve your hatred for John Parrott. Supposed to be funny, but just comes across as self-absorbed, unnatural on TV and, dare I say it, blown away by Steve Davis in terms of TV presentation.

― Daniel (dancity), Tuesday, 6 May 2003 16:59 (twenty-three years ago)

We need better snooker coverage here in the states. The kids don't even know how it works here.

― teeny (teeny), Tuesday, 6 May 2003 17:03 (twenty-three years ago)

Wot no Cabbage?

I enjoyed 'Frame Academy' very much indeed. It put the 'OO' back into snooker for a few minutes, especially Steve Davis's elasticated balls.

I also enjoyed the odd glimpse of Terry Griffiths.

― PJ Miller (PJ Miller), Wednesday, 7 May 2003 08:39 (twenty-three years ago)

R O'Sullivan is signing his books in Borders round the corner from me tonight, and his lingerie emporium is v.near where I work. It's Ronnie's world, I just live in it.

― Tico Tico (Tico Tico), Wednesday, 7 May 2003 09:06 (twenty-three years ago)

Ronnie O'Sullivan is everything.

― Alex K (Alex K), Wednesday, 7 May 2003 09:52 (twenty-three years ago)

nine months pass...

bum-di-bum-bum-bump!

o'sullivan vs hunter 8:7 ...and 4 more to go, eh? or less, meh?
(it is live on eurosport, innit?)

― t\'\'t (t\'\'t), Sunday, 8 February 2004 22:32 (twenty-two years ago)

...the masters...

― t\'\'t (t\'\'t), Sunday, 8 February 2004 22:33 (twenty-two years ago)

what is with these dudes' hair??

― teeny (teeny), Sunday, 8 February 2004 22:37 (twenty-two years ago)

like, long?

― t\'\'t (t\'\'t), Sunday, 8 February 2004 22:38 (twenty-two years ago)

they saw me and thought 'heeey!'

― stevem (blueski), Sunday, 8 February 2004 22:39 (twenty-two years ago)

― teeny (teeny), Sunday, 8 February 2004 22:40 (twenty-two years ago)

and o'sullivan kinda looks like nick cave.

― teeny (teeny), Sunday, 8 February 2004 22:41 (twenty-two years ago)

uuu-mmm... not quite

― t\'\'t (t\'\'t), Sunday, 8 February 2004 22:43 (twenty-two years ago)

sorry, I'm just peeved they don't carry this in america.

― teeny (teeny), Sunday, 8 February 2004 22:44 (twenty-two years ago)

oh, it's now 9:7 to o'mullivann...

― t\'\'t (t\'\'t), Sunday, 8 February 2004 22:47 (twenty-two years ago)

I've not watched snooker for a while. What's happened to O'Sullivan's bowlcut?

Also these are a couple of sexy shits, eh?

― Eyeball Kicks (Eyeball Kicks), Sunday, 8 February 2004 22:54 (twenty-two years ago)

I mean, I imagine someone making smartass comments, esp about the blond one...

― Eyeball Kicks (Eyeball Kicks), Sunday, 8 February 2004 22:56 (twenty-two years ago)

But if it was a foul leading to a free-ball in some dim alleyway, I bet you'd force him to play again, eh?

― Eyeball Kicks (Eyeball Kicks), Sunday, 8 February 2004 22:57 (twenty-two years ago)

Whatever.

They're both pretty great.

― Eyeball Kicks (Eyeball Kicks), Sunday, 8 February 2004 22:57 (twenty-two years ago)

Ew. Hunter looks about twelve and has one of David Beckhams's old haircuts. This does not sexy make :(

(xpost)

O'Sullivan's post-therapy interviews are a mind-boggling wonder of pop-psychology-speak (well, the only one I saw this week anyway).

― ailsa (ailsa), Sunday, 8 February 2004 22:59 (twenty-two years ago)

...9:8 now, with 18th under way

― t\'\'t (t\'\'t), Sunday, 8 February 2004 23:00 (twenty-two years ago)

Ain't that entertainment -- 9:9, uhhhhh!

― t\'\'t (t\'\'t), Sunday, 8 February 2004 23:29 (twenty-two years ago)

That was some red, eh?

― Eyeball Kicks (Eyeball Kicks), Sunday, 8 February 2004 23:42 (twenty-two years ago)

This could be Hunter's chance now, I reckon.

― ailsa (ailsa), Sunday, 8 February 2004 23:44 (twenty-two years ago)

We should commentate. You be Willie Thorne.

― Eyeball Kicks (Eyeball Kicks), Sunday, 8 February 2004 23:44 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm thingy from the Jim Davidson show. With the beard.

― Eyeball Kicks (Eyeball Kicks), Sunday, 8 February 2004 23:45 (twenty-two years ago)

I don't think Hunter can win the frame at this visit.

― Eyeball Kicks (Eyeball Kicks), Sunday, 8 February 2004 23:45 (twenty-two years ago)

What will he do here?

― Eyeball Kicks (Eyeball Kicks), Sunday, 8 February 2004 23:45 (twenty-two years ago)

Wu needs to get a good night's sleep and start fresh

― in the darkest depths of Merthyr (Noodle Vague), Saturday, 2 May 2026 22:24 (one week ago)

Unbelievable
Amazing for Wu, heartbreaking for Mark

― willem, Saturday, 2 May 2026 22:25 (one week ago)

They shouldn't have to do interviews straight after a match like that

― in the darkest depths of Merthyr (Noodle Vague), Saturday, 2 May 2026 22:25 (one week ago)

Hope he destroys Murphy

― willem, Saturday, 2 May 2026 22:25 (one week ago)

Yeah same

Fair play to Mark Allen this is a classy interview

― in the darkest depths of Merthyr (Noodle Vague), Saturday, 2 May 2026 22:26 (one week ago)

brutal. all in for wu in the final

― ||||||||, Saturday, 2 May 2026 22:53 (one week ago)

that black that allen missed will haunt him for years

― ||||||||, Saturday, 2 May 2026 22:54 (one week ago)

mark allen pots that 99 times out of 100. such a straightforward black

― ||||||||, Saturday, 2 May 2026 22:55 (one week ago)

Fair play to Mark Allen this is a classy interview

― in the darkest depths of Merthyr (Noodle Vague), Saturday, 2 May 2026 bookmarkflaglink

Yup

― xyzzzz__, Saturday, 2 May 2026 22:57 (one week ago)

He's an ok guy, didn't mind whether he or Wu got through.

Reckon Murphy has this tbh but we'll see.

― xyzzzz__, Saturday, 2 May 2026 22:58 (one week ago)

is it murphy that believes in gay conversion therapy y/n

― ||||||||, Saturday, 2 May 2026 23:01 (one week ago)

quick google says "yeah, probably"

― in the darkest depths of Merthyr (Noodle Vague), Saturday, 2 May 2026 23:30 (one week ago)

Sigh

― xyzzzz__, Sunday, 3 May 2026 08:11 (one week ago)

Had forgotten he is one of those weirdos..

― xyzzzz__, Sunday, 3 May 2026 08:12 (one week ago)

Just watched the final frames of the wu/allen semi final, unbelievable. Knowing the result going in, there were so many "how is he going to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory this time?" moments.

― ledge, Sunday, 3 May 2026 19:24 (one week ago)

Yeah. That's the match of the tournament, not sure how the final beats that

Wu 10-7 lead overnight. Can see Murphy overturning it

― xyzzzz__, Sunday, 3 May 2026 21:00 (one week ago)

i'm trying to avoid putting the kiss of death on it

― in the darkest depths of Merthyr (Noodle Vague), Sunday, 3 May 2026 21:02 (one week ago)

Murphy won five in a row but has since not played too good and Wu has a couple on the board.

12-12

― xyzzzz__, Monday, 4 May 2026 15:00 (one week ago)

Wu looked so frail in the first half of the session, i want whatever therapy he had during the break

― in the darkest depths of Merthyr (Noodle Vague), Monday, 4 May 2026 15:13 (one week ago)

oh that kiss off the white when Murphy got back to the table, real "where's your messiah now?" stuff

― in the darkest depths of Merthyr (Noodle Vague), Monday, 4 May 2026 15:17 (one week ago)

final session is gonna be gruelling

― in the darkest depths of Merthyr (Noodle Vague), Monday, 4 May 2026 15:19 (one week ago)

Come on Wu

― xyzzzz__, Monday, 4 May 2026 18:24 (one week ago)

Murphy hesitated, didn't play the canon and ran out of position. Yize cleared up 15-14.

First time I'm thinking Yize will get over the line.

― xyzzzz__, Monday, 4 May 2026 19:22 (one week ago)

incredible frame

― ||||||||, Monday, 4 May 2026 19:57 (one week ago)

Wu's time to hesitate.. incredible clearance.

Best of 5

― xyzzzz__, Monday, 4 May 2026 20:00 (one week ago)

Wu just kept potting.

Remarkable. Two away.

― xyzzzz__, Monday, 4 May 2026 20:17 (one week ago)

16-16. Surely going all the way

― xyzzzz__, Monday, 4 May 2026 20:32 (one week ago)

That yellow to green with the rest.

Wu deserves this.

― xyzzzz__, Monday, 4 May 2026 20:52 (one week ago)

Incredible pot on the yellow.

― in the darkest depths of Merthyr (Noodle Vague), Monday, 4 May 2026 20:53 (one week ago)

Mind blowing

― xyzzzz__, Monday, 4 May 2026 20:55 (one week ago)

Ah damn so close to finishing it

― in the darkest depths of Merthyr (Noodle Vague), Monday, 4 May 2026 21:01 (one week ago)

My lord almighty.

Final frame decider. Cracking stuff

― xyzzzz__, Monday, 4 May 2026 21:07 (one week ago)

some final this

― ||||||||, Monday, 4 May 2026 21:07 (one week ago)

Excruciating.

― Clarinet Cop (Tom D.), Monday, 4 May 2026 21:08 (one week ago)

Can't believe missing the black off the spot...

― xyzzzz__, Monday, 4 May 2026 21:11 (one week ago)

Ghost of Mark Allen

― in the darkest depths of Merthyr (Noodle Vague), Monday, 4 May 2026 21:11 (one week ago)

Great safety shot by Wu and then what a return by Murphy

― xyzzzz__, Monday, 4 May 2026 21:18 (one week ago)

Bit of luck by Wu to get the white like that. Shaun is really stuck here

― xyzzzz__, Monday, 4 May 2026 21:20 (one week ago)

Omg the pot tho

― in the darkest depths of Merthyr (Noodle Vague), Monday, 4 May 2026 21:22 (one week ago)

What a red to start off from Wu. Come on..

― xyzzzz__, Monday, 4 May 2026 21:24 (one week ago)

Has to win it now after that unbelievable recovery shot

― xyzzzz__, Monday, 4 May 2026 21:27 (one week ago)

Better learn Chinese!!

― xyzzzz__, Monday, 4 May 2026 21:29 (one week ago)

Beautiful

― in the darkest depths of Merthyr (Noodle Vague), Monday, 4 May 2026 21:30 (one week ago)

If they cut to another shot of his mom I'm gonna lose it

― in the darkest depths of Merthyr (Noodle Vague), Monday, 4 May 2026 21:30 (one week ago)

That was fun

― imago, Monday, 4 May 2026 21:32 (one week ago)

OK lost it

― in the darkest depths of Merthyr (Noodle Vague), Monday, 4 May 2026 21:36 (one week ago)

that red to left middle was diabolical
