Yeah, this is just until he discovers girls. :-)

Alain Robidoux slid rapidly down the rankings in subsequent years, partly as a result of losing his favourite cue, which he referred to as the "Eel"; he returned it to its maker - an elderly craftsman in Canada - for repairs, but the craftsman smashed the cue into pieces and sent the remains back to Robidoux, reportedly taking offence because both the cue and the cue-case had a logo for 'Riley', a leading UK cue manufacturer

Luca Brecel just beat Ken Doherty, to play against Graeme Dott next

"just" = yesterday (don't know where to get real time info about this, only found out from a Belgian news site)

StanM, Saturday, 9 May 2009 12:50 (fifteen years ago) link

Lost to Dott 5-4

robertson will win this whole thing. i hope.

pourquoi?

Times New Excels At (jim in glasgow), Wednesday, 28 April 2010 13:56 (fourteen years ago) link

i like the way he plays! plus to have beaten gould the way he did...the winner of that match needs to win, to placate me

o'sullivan-selby is a great match, by the looks of it. two other players i wouldn't begrudge this year's title.

sausage s4rgent (acoleuthic), Wednesday, 28 April 2010 13:57 (fourteen years ago) link

yeah idk why i'm watching steve davis tbh. well other than it will probably end soon and i can change over.

robertson used to be fat

ronnie doing a bit of referee-bullying

sausage s4rgent (acoleuthic), Wednesday, 28 April 2010 14:33 (fourteen years ago) link

nagl but still <3 him

sausage s4rgent (acoleuthic), Wednesday, 28 April 2010 14:33 (fourteen years ago) link

I quite want Mark "the Jester" Selby to win, because he's the only snooker player with anything approaching O'Sullivan's charisma levels.

Neil S, Wednesday, 28 April 2010 15:30 (fourteen years ago) link

Ronnie - Mark: 11 - 13

StanM, Wednesday, 28 April 2010 21:06 (fourteen years ago) link

selby-carter final would be nice.

not_goodwin, Wednesday, 28 April 2010 22:11 (fourteen years ago) link

Selby got stronger and stronger. Ronnie's shot selection was non-existent at the end. Sometimes it amazes me as to how he has managed to win a hat-trick of world titles.

I think Dott might provide a tougher test but I reckon it'll be Robertson - Selby in the final.

^^^^^yes please

sausage s4rgent (acoleuthic), Thursday, 29 April 2010 11:47 (fourteen years ago) link

I want dott to win

g.w.f.nagl (cozen), Thursday, 29 April 2010 12:34 (fourteen years ago) link

not again! cmon let a flashy first-timer win it

sausage s4rgent (acoleuthic), Thursday, 29 April 2010 12:34 (fourteen years ago) link

Wouldn't mind if Dott won -- great to see him back, and I reckon he is playing better than he has ever done.

xyzzzz__, Thursday, 29 April 2010 14:10 (fourteen years ago) link

given the quality of this second semi so far, robertson is gonna walk this

sausage s4rgent (acoleuthic), Thursday, 29 April 2010 20:40 (fourteen years ago) link

selby to win please

not_goodwin, Thursday, 29 April 2010 21:22 (fourteen years ago) link

hes been the one banging the drum for barry hearn to takeover so he can earn more money.

I have somehow avoided watching a single Dott match so far.

Was rooting for Selby tbh.

dott is a local lad (so is higgins i suppose)

pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Sunday, 2 May 2010 00:29 (fourteen years ago) link

I enjoyed the last frame of the dott match, some good snooker in that.

pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Sunday, 2 May 2010 00:29 (fourteen years ago) link

graeme dott's 47 break was incredible

A collision of two tough players, each with a remarkable story, will take place today and tomorrow in the final of the world snooker championship.

Indeed!

StanM, Sunday, 2 May 2010 09:03 (fourteen years ago) link

ok what have i always said about this guy

Didn't you always say he was boring? Well, now he isn't - just like Tiger Woods.

That 47 break was phenomenal. Exhibition snooker on acid or what? For two of the three frames that he needed to win it was until the 40 break on the final one that had any control of the cue ball for the basic bread-and-butter shots.

Anyone see Robertson's interview yesterday after the game...got all tearful after saying that on what might have been his final go at the sport he arrived in the UK and was down to his last 500 quid.

Can see Robertson leading after the first day but Dott coming back and this being quite close...we'll see.

BBC News breaking news ticker: "Suspended snooker champion John Higgins denies being involved in match-fixing"

StanM, Sunday, 2 May 2010 14:49 (fourteen years ago) link

He said he was scared and just went along with it.
"I'm 100% guilt free" he said in statement just before snooker started.

not_goodwin, Sunday, 2 May 2010 15:20 (fourteen years ago) link

9-7 will be an amazing feat for dott

cozen, Sunday, 2 May 2010 21:50 (fourteen years ago) link

... and he gets it. What a scrappy affair, this match. Exciting, but let's hope they both get a good night's sleep, eh?

StanM, Sunday, 2 May 2010 22:40 (fourteen years ago) link

Never seen someone looking so exhausted as Dott in that second session.

Here is hoping for more fluidity today.

xyzzzz__, Monday, 3 May 2010 09:20 (fourteen years ago) link

who has the more embarrassing hair here. dott with the plugs or the feathered bondi barnet of robbo?

Times New Excels At (jim in glasgow), Monday, 3 May 2010 14:23 (fourteen years ago) link

are they plugs?
