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

He’ll clean this lot up. 18-12 result.

Cursed.

Freakbro · 5 May 2025 at 20:31

That missed by a mile! He's certainly not in his groove

Moothead2 · 5 May 2025 at 20:32

Surely this is it now.

Shirley that's it...

Mark finally showing up. Reckon it'll be 18-12 at most but won't feel quite as bad as 18-8.

I wish I was a betting man

Freakbro · 5 May 2025 at 20:33

He can't lose from here....

Reuben klang · 5 May 2025 at 20:33

Bloody Nora mark. Every single time he’s had a chance.

Don’t call me Shirley!

Thought I would post this about Zhao for those that think he doesn't deserve his second chance. Jason Ferguson head of the governing body for world snooker explains what happened, what his punishment was, how they came to their verdict and what he had to do to even get back in. If he says it's good enough, that's good enough for most.

Reuben klang · 5 May 2025 at 20:35

Well congrats to him. Best player in the final by a long way.

Moothead2 · 5 May 2025 at 20:37

Always happy to see a new face winning it, as long as it isn't Kyren Wilson's.

Freakbro · 5 May 2025 at 20:38

Good finish too

Feek · 5 May 2025 at 20:38

The commentators didn’t mention it but the way he switched from right to left handed during that cleanup was utterly seamless.

Well played and well deserved.

Reuben klang · 5 May 2025 at 20:38

He barely celebrated

UTmaniac · 5 May 2025 at 20:39

Hmmm, not sure about the flag, but well done Xintong, unmatchable this tournament.

el_dazza · 5 May 2025 at 20:39

Just won the world championship and looks like he couldn't give a damn

The Chinese robot won. Zero emotion. Zero personality.

Reuben klang · 5 May 2025 at 20:41

Classy stuff from Williams.

I think there’s emotion and personality there but he’s just overwhelmed and not especially fluent in English.

He says he’s getting on the bevvies tonight.

I thought they would have got a translator out for him if his English isn’t the best.

Well done, Zhao. Great performance overall.
