Whatever.

They're both pretty great.

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-one years ago)

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

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

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

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

That was some red, eh?

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

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

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

We should commentate. You be Willie Thorne.

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

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

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

What will he do here?

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

Not bad. Nothing left on here.

― Eyeball Kicks (Eyeball Kicks), Sunday, 8 February 2004 23:46 (twenty-one years ago)

Lots of balls near the cushions (I'm plagiarising here).

― Eyeball Kicks (Eyeball Kicks), Sunday, 8 February 2004 23:46 (twenty-one years ago)

What does that mean, Willie?

― Eyeball Kicks (Eyeball Kicks), Sunday, 8 February 2004 23:47 (twenty-one years ago)

WHAT A MISS!

― Eyeball Kicks (Eyeball Kicks), Sunday, 8 February 2004 23:47 (twenty-one years ago)

HE'S LEFT IT!

― Eyeball Kicks (Eyeball Kicks), Sunday, 8 February 2004 23:47 (twenty-one years ago)

MATCH-WINNING CHANCE!

― Eyeball Kicks (Eyeball Kicks), Sunday, 8 February 2004 23:47 (twenty-one years ago)

THE BLONDE GIRL COVERS EYES!

― Eyeball Kicks (Eyeball Kicks), Sunday, 8 February 2004 23:48 (twenty-one years ago)

NEEDS A KISS! HE'S GOT THE KISS!

― Eyeball Kicks (Eyeball Kicks), Sunday, 8 February 2004 23:48 (twenty-one years ago)

Well done that kid :)

― ailsa (ailsa), Sunday, 8 February 2004 23:48 (twenty-one years ago)

paul wins.

― Julio Desouza (jdesouza), Sunday, 8 February 2004 23:48 (twenty-one years ago)

IT'S OVER!

― Eyeball Kicks (Eyeball Kicks), Sunday, 8 February 2004 23:48 (twenty-one years ago)

RONNIE'S "BIT HIS TIP OFF"!

― Eyeball Kicks (Eyeball Kicks), Sunday, 8 February 2004 23:49 (twenty-one years ago)

SEXY SHITS!

― Eyeball Kicks (Eyeball Kicks), Sunday, 8 February 2004 23:50 (twenty-one years ago)

Is Paul Hunter the guy who always goes on about shagging his girlfriend in the mid-session breaks?

(xpost - that "biting off his tip" made me laugh a bit. New relaxed therapied Ronnie seemed to not care at all that he lost)

― ailsa (ailsa), Sunday, 8 February 2004 23:50 (twenty-one years ago)

a helluva mutha of a match

― t\'\'t (t\'\'t), Sunday, 8 February 2004 23:52 (twenty-one years ago)

He looks like N. had N. been at the peroxide.

(he has just made a reference to shagging his woman)

― ailsa (ailsa), Sunday, 8 February 2004 23:53 (twenty-one years ago)

haha well the first time he won this (against fergal o'brien) he was 6-2 behind in the break and he did let out post-match interview that his manager allowed his gf in the dressing room in the break (he won that match 10-9). I'm not sure whether they did it again today, think he was joking this time because he didn't play badly, just that ronnie was perfect in that first session (paul hunter won those two frames with century breaks).

― Julio Desouza (jdesouza), Sunday, 8 February 2004 23:58 (twenty-one years ago)

two months pass...

revive!

Go on ronnie!!! He's just won the first four frames of the second session in 42 mins (he so totally deserves to be called 'the rocket').

two eighty breaks and a century and he's 10-2 up.

― Julio Desouza (jdesouza), Friday, 30 April 2004 13:44 (twenty-one years ago)

I wish i was at home watching this :(

― Julio Desouza (jdesouza), Friday, 30 April 2004 13:45 (twenty-one years ago)

I wish I was home tomorrow to keep watching this.

― t\'\'t (t\'\'t), Friday, 30 April 2004 20:54 (twenty-one years ago)

Real pleasures of watching snooker revealed:

Heh heh heh.

― William Bloody Swygart (mrswygart), Friday, 30 April 2004 21:08 (twenty-one years ago)

john parrot gets bitterer every year! i'm lovin dott's spoiler style, a final with him and ronnie might be fascinating. alternatively dott might get utterly blown away but hey

― prima fassy (mwah), Friday, 30 April 2004 21:36 (twenty-one years ago)

Dott'd be that much of an outsider that maybe... just, maybe...

And why has Dominic Dale suddenly vanished from the commentary team? Dennis Taylor is starting to irk me a bit...

Worst thing about Parrott - his tips segment, where he teaches Stan Boardman to play snooker. Fucking hell.

― William Bloody Swygart (mrswygart), Friday, 30 April 2004 21:40 (twenty-one years ago)

dott has a small throat.

'when I won the championship back in 1991...'

come on hendry.

YEAH I SAID IT.

― cozen (Cozen), Saturday, 1 May 2004 06:18 (twenty-one years ago)

dennis taylor + john parrott are ok.

john virgo must die. he'd whinge even if he goes to heaven "ooh that's not that cloud i'd put myself on.."

ian mccolloch should have won, or david gray.

― ken c (ken c), Saturday, 1 May 2004 07:25 (twenty-one years ago)

o'sullivan just finished hendry off 17-4. I quite like to see Dott in the final but it may not matter who gets there.

O'sullivan has rarely got it consistently together, playing to his full potential as he has in the last two rounds, blowing away anthony hamilton and hendry with a session to spare.

― Julio Desouza (jdesouza), Saturday, 1 May 2004 10:02 (twenty-one years ago)

: (

this boy's good.

― cozen (Cozen), Saturday, 1 May 2004 11:25 (twenty-one years ago)

Does anyone else think Hazel Irvine the finest woman on Earth?

― Not Steve Davis, Saturday, 1 May 2004 13:02 (twenty-one years ago)

Oh, for crying out loud, Dott-Stevens just went off the air at 16-15 with just four balls left on the table and an immense safety battle developing in frame 32. I was watching the live coverage on BBCi (ch701 on Freeview) when a message appeared "This interactive service is coming to an end, press [TEXT] to exit." WTF?! They'd never do this on a main analogue channel. I note the BBC website also appears to be down.

― Michael Jones (MichaelJ), Saturday, 1 May 2004 15:51 (twenty-one years ago)

The BBC website isn't down any more.

― William Bloody Swygart (mrswygart), Saturday, 1 May 2004 15:59 (twenty-one years ago)

Apparently Dott won 17-15 - after "an exchange of unbelievably tense safety" according to the now-reachable BBC website.

After a laborious registration procedure I'm about to leave a Why Oh Why complaints on the Points Of View messageboard - in that curly electric typewriter font.

― Michael Jones (MichaelJ), Saturday, 1 May 2004 16:05 (twenty-one years ago)

It's on Eurosport. But it must be on some time delay thing, as it's just at the start of the 32nd frame.

(x-post cheers Mike, I'm watching on Europsport)

― ailsa (ailsa), Saturday, 1 May 2004 16:06 (twenty-one years ago)

(I'm sorry, Ailsa, it didn't occur to me that anyone other than the BBC was covering this.)

I was jumping the gun by claiming I was registered on the BBC website - despite doing precisely what they required I'm not registered. I requested a resend of their confirmation email and didn't get it. This is a very good way of intensifying but broadening miffed viewers' rage and ultimately getting them to give up. What a waste of 20 minutes of my life.

― Michael Jones (MichaelJ), Saturday, 1 May 2004 16:15 (twenty-one years ago)

I keep reading this thread as "smoker world championship final" and that does not compute.

― stephen morris (stephen morris), Saturday, 1 May 2004 16:17 (twenty-one years ago)

Microdott is 3-0 up! Ronnie does not look happy.

― Ricardo (RickyT), Sunday, 2 May 2004 14:01 (twenty-one years ago)

4-0!

― Ricardo (RickyT), Sunday, 2 May 2004 14:16 (twenty-one years ago)

!!!

― Julio Desouza (jdesouza), Sunday, 2 May 2004 14:19 (twenty-one years ago)

Apparently that scoreline was 66-1 yesterday evening...

― William Bloody Swygart (mrswygart), Sunday, 2 May 2004 14:35 (twenty-one years ago)

This is rapidly acquiring an aura of unreality. Dott has now scored 300 points with no reply from Ronnie.

― Ricardo (RickyT), Sunday, 2 May 2004 14:53 (twenty-one years ago)

5-0! Ronnie just failed to return to the table in a one snooker required situation.

― Ricardo (RickyT), Sunday, 2 May 2004 14:59 (twenty-one years ago)

I am so mad Williams has decided to turn up now

― xyzzzz__, Monday, 5 May 2025 19:16 (two months ago)

Thank you President Xi

― xyzzzz__, Monday, 5 May 2025 19:39 (two months ago)

When he got 3 in a row, I was thinking is it worth a punt. Then sense prevailed, clear that Zhao wouldn’t drop 6 on the bounce.

― Dan Worsley, Monday, 5 May 2025 19:46 (two months ago)

Really needed a translator for that interview

― xyzzzz__, Monday, 5 May 2025 19:47 (two months ago)

bbc radio news today was getting the pronunciation of Zhao completely wrong, thought they had people to sort this stuff.

― zoloft keeps liftin' me (Camaraderie at Arms Length), Monday, 5 May 2025 19:58 (two months ago)

Seemed like a pleasant young fellow. Hazel Irvine's attempts at getting Mark Williams to cry fell on stony ground, then the interview with Zhao fell flat. Good work, Hazel!

― Blake the Messenger (Tom D.), Monday, 5 May 2025 20:59 (two months ago)

First World Champtionship I’ve got into for many many years, forgot how enjoyable Snooker can be to watch. Shame the final didn’t quite end up being the classic it might have been, but really great to see such an exciting young player.
