snooker world championship final

"the socket"

Had forgotten how much I love watching this when I'm in the right mood.

Alan McManus looks like a dude with some dark secrets.

Scottish players in general aren't to be messed with apart from Maguire, his record is appalling.

LOL @ Ding forgetting he was on a 147.

Stevens has just annihilated Williams 10-2.

Can't wait for the match w/Ronnie.

saw some of mcgill earlier, serious serious player

carrington too but maybe a little less so

Ding started badly in both of his first two matches. as turned one around and now another, except this is against Higgins. One away.

Higgins just holding on here

wtf @ this frame. Ding had the match at his mercy then a bad contact. Higgins wins on the last black - still 12-9 down.

ok Ding has missed a fkn sitter...

one more chance Ding - keeping nerves steady time, talking about myself here

ok that was good torture on sat morning.

classic stuff on sat night from both ronnie and stevens.

2-0 down, now 3-2 up - great response by Ronnie.

mcgill - murphy is a classic in the making

bingham on the verge

huge lols at this

Should've been done years ago. tick.jpg

Saw highlights only - Bingham was excellent. Ronnie looked totally under the cosh.

Anyone but Trump. Would've fancied Robertson to beat him but he's out after a tight match last night.

Hawkins scores really well for someone who runs out of position every three shots.

loving that facebook page.

the other day there were a bunch of fans in the audience wearing t-shirts with a caricature, and the phrase itself.

Anyone but Trump

ahh .. my young'un is a fan of trump (he is a local lad - relatively), so, he is rather excited at the moment ..

Hawkins scores really well for someone who runs out of position every three shots.

Bingham at this now - just went from 50 to 74 on a break and was out of position for every shot but one.

bingham's position better than hawkins'

murphy has the best position game of the remaining players by miles

scoring seems to have held up for years despite positional play going backwards to an extent

modern players seem to play 3/4 table recovery shots with ease - shots that many pre-Hendry players would refuse

don't like trump for some reason

£2000 spiky shoes

ha.
i hate the shoe thing.
but mk2 is too young to care re such frivolities.
trump is a local boy, so therein lies a reason for his passion.
personally, i would love it if bingham trashed his groove as we share the same hairstyle.

Oh, Barrypaws.

Assuming he's got nothing left..

Yeah, he's the world number 5. Maybe it's a trap - let Murphy get to 16 and then...

Don't care abot the shoes or Burger King badge. First frame of new session: Trump with some aggressive play but again shit safety and Bingham clears up. 6-4.

Great response, century for 6-5

At the next Bingham should've punished some terrible play from trump (the early attacking split of the pack from the Brown) but he has missed one - key clerance coming up.

Let off: 6-5

at the next Trump attacks rather than play safe when he breaks down: 7-5 Bingham.

Incredible positional shot from Judd from pink to get to the red. Really has to be seen to be believed, but then he misses the tough red.

Bingham clears for 8-5.

I don't care about shoes or fast food endorsements either, just don't like either his playing style or demeanour

8-6 Bingham, nice enough break from Trump.

I don't see the Bingman winning tbh - even though he's good and in front

At the next greta little shot from Trump on the red but he often doesn't close out the deal - misses the green.

Getting tense all round now..

I can see it going to the last frame.

Conclusion from the day's proceedings = its Murphy's title to lose.

Murphy's trousers/waistcoat combo >>>>>

Murphy gone to sleep.

He's not wearing his lucky waistcoat tonight.

14-7. Three frames left.

To see Doherty commentating as well (he of course made that amazing comeback against Paul Hunter in the SF a few years ago)

Murphy waking up again, should win here for 15-7

90+ and century from Murphy - one away.

10 min session tomorrow then.
