Red, Yellow, Green, Brown, Blue, Pink and Black. It's the General Snooker Thread!

Steve and Dennis warming up for another 1985 exhibition this evening.

Why does Peter Ebdon never get asked to do any exhibitions?

Vinno · 5 May 2025 at 14:37

I've lost count of how many flukes and lucky runs of the ball this lad has had. I think he needs to swap nicknames with Bingham.

Stu999 · 5 May 2025 at 14:38

Zhao: “What’s a safety?”

Stu999 · 5 May 2025 at 14:41

Well, Williams is gone from the looks of things.

Edit - the balls have got a bet on for Zhao to win.

The more you go for it the more luck you get. It's why Brecel gets so much luck.

Three massive flukes in one frame! lol!

We might not even get to the evening session at this rate!

He also got unlucky going into the reds leaving the frame live and Mark completely bottling any comeback. The flukes really don't matter if Mark isn't going to take his chances.

Can't argue with that. Williams has been awful. Very disappointing to have a one sided final like this.

Stu999 · 5 May 2025 at 15:02

This has been the best frame from Williams this afternoon. Zhao taking liberties.

Edit - another stupid shot from Zhao in the 24th frame. Really lacking some nous players like Williams have.

Kyo · 5 May 2025 at 15:10

Oooo sore one. That's a really bad miss from Mark.

Merlin5 · 5 May 2025 at 15:12

This is all just formality now to complete the match. The chances of Williams winning 7 consecutive frames just to draw even with Zhao who only needs 3 frames. Yeah, easy.

Reuben klang · 5 May 2025 at 15:12

At least we will get an evening session.

Moothead2 · 5 May 2025 at 15:13

Might be the worst I've ever seen Mark play. Zhao's getting nervy and he's not taking advantage of it at all

chrismscotland · 5 May 2025 at 15:19

Feels a bit anti climactic this final

It's been such a good tournament until now, I'd rather have seen a Higgins or Trump playing here,, I think they would have put up more of a fight over 4 sessions.

Stu999 · 5 May 2025 at 15:21

Black off the spot. Unforgivable. /Hendry

Stu999 · 5 May 2025 at 15:30

Some brilliant long pots from Zhao today, even if the rest hasn’t been that great.

Moothead2 · 5 May 2025 at 15:31

That red is why he's 16-8 up against Williams and trounced Ronnie. Beaut.

Moothead2 · 5 May 2025 at 15:33

These colours looking like one of my games
