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

How is it 8-7?

Two shocking blacks missed off spot by Selby that last frame!

My Shelby voodoo doll is working.

UTmaniac · 7 Dec 2025 at 22:29

Selby wobbles again when the title was at his mercy, 9-8! :eek:

ic1male · 7 Dec 2025 at 23:03

Oh dear. I ran out of voodoo pins.

Kyo · 7 Dec 2025 at 23:05

That was some break to take it in the last frame considering he only had 2 colours to play with.

ic1male · 7 Dec 2025 at 23:06

Yeah, Shelby seems to be on a roll at the moment. Out of the doldrums that he was once in.

Yep, only black and yellow on spots to play with, super 50+ break.

Snooker back on DMAX this week - afternoon session Mo-Fr and then includes evenings on Sat/Sun.

UTmaniac · 15 Dec 2025 at 11:52

Thanks for heads up about Dmax covering Scottish Open from 1300 today!

Seems a bit weird but Mark Williams; Robertson; Milkins and Jak Jones all withdrew from Scottish Open.

Didn't realise it was on, but Alfie Burden won the one frame shootout event last week! :eek:

Selby knocked out 5-3 in the 1/4 final in a high quality scoring match, by Chang (don't recognise this Chinese player by name).

A rank 70th Chinese player in the final today, nice to see a new face in a final. And he has a very good chance looking at his run and who he has taken out.

Yeah, I'd like it if Chang won today. He's played some fantastic snooker this week.

Wakelin smashes Chang 9-2 from 2-2, getting ton in final frame! :eek:

Yeah, dunno what happened to him. Maybe the pressure too much, especially with Mother watching.

UTmaniac · 26 Dec 2025 at 21:58

Live snooker seniors on 5action, Burden vs Dale, might be perfect tonic to get an early night.

Quartz · 4 Jan 2026 at 19:36

Has there ever been a break of over 147 in top class play? You'd need to start with a free ball, obviously.

Yes, a 148 by Jamie Burnett in the early 2000's in a qualifier. The max possible is 155, been done in practices never in an actual pro match.

The Masters kicks off this weekend on Sunday and in almost no surprise Ronnie has pulled out on the eve of the event!
Chris Wakelin takes his place in the draw against Neil Robertson

ic1male · 10 Jan 2026 at 01:07

Wasn't expecting Ronnie to excuse himself from the Masters. Ally Pally has everybody rooting for him. Maybe too much pressure or he's got the flu going round.

UTmaniac · 12 Jan 2026 at 00:43

Murphy (last year's winner) and Selby both knocked out by Chinese newcomers to The Masters (Wu and Xiao respectively)! :eek:

ic1male · 12 Jan 2026 at 09:47

Yes Shaun Murphy was not very good yesterday. I would have liked to see him win again. Although Judd still my number 1.
