To me Ebdon has played the best snooker out of anyone in the whole Championships. Marco Fu, played extremely well, but I though that Ebdon would have won in the end. He did.

Didnt see any of the morning session between Ronnie and Dott. Shocked at the score line. Dott is certain to win that. Could well be all over in the first frame of this evenings session. Ronnie is a great player and all, but I dont think he has that fighting spirt that players might have like Ebdon, Williams and Stevens to name some. Once hes behind by more than 4 frames or so, thats it. It looks like he throw's the towel in. Well in some cases he has literally done it in the past

Dott has had a great championships upto now aswell. It will be a good final with Ebdon and Dott.

Now the key question is, What odds would you of got if you placed a little bet on Ebdon vs. Dott final

Or not. Maybe he just doesn't like mornings. Either that or someone gave him a swift kick up the derriere. Still, one big mistake and it could all be over.

Well, he made a fight of it, but Ronnie's out, going down 17-11. He's also put the cue tip saga firmly behind him by handing over his cue to a member of the audience. Someone has got themselves a very prized posession there. Me = jealous.

Yes, he'll probably be back next year, but with a new cue.

Bennah · 29 Apr 2006 at 20:31

Yea, new cue next year.

That young lad has definalty got a great cue there

If that was me, that would'nt be going on fleabay at all. Will be keeping it for life. When he plays, he cant blame it on the cue anyway.

My money is on Ebdon for the win. Both of them would be worthy winners.

Nothing against Mr Ebdon but hes boring to watch, I dont think ill watch the majority of the matches, I hope Dott wins though, seems a nice bloke!

Was watching steve davis play poker online last night, got him to slip a superman gag into the bbc commentary today, not sure if anyone picked it up but I was wetting myself!

fivek is steve davis, CarloDi = me.

He actually said "I was talking to some fans over breakfast who compared this match to a fight between spiderman and superman, two players with very different skills coming together"... something along those lines.

Fair play lol i see that bit yesterday :cool:

I agree, his slow-paced style and his personality add up to a rather boring person IMO.

I wanted Fu to win, been a fan of his for years now. So close yet so far

Re-rack in the first frame. Great.

Wish Ronnie and Fu were here instead. These two are just boring.

FeFiDoh · 30 Apr 2006 at 15:12

Fu has become one hell of a player in the last year, i remember seeing him b4 and he was alright but this tournament he seems very well rounded player and has had some great games! Expecting even bigger things for him next year :cool:

This game will take days lol should be some decent breaks tho, ronnie still got the highest so far with the 140? Ebdon other day had 3 chances in 1 match to score maximum :eek:

Nismo · 30 Apr 2006 at 15:23

Worst start to a World Final ever?

Re-rack, Ebdon knocking the green with his hand, and the ref missing a free spot for one of the colours which Ebdon had to point out to him.

Totally, Fu and O'Sullivan would be a great match! Ah well, theres always next year!

Berserker · 30 Apr 2006 at 18:21

Yawn.

I think I may as well go to bed. At this rate, we've got 15 hours of this to go.

Psycho Ned · 30 Apr 2006 at 19:31

Apparently got to play 10 frames tonight :eek:

with the session starting at 8pm the people coming in tonight better bring their beds!

lemonkettaz · 30 Apr 2006 at 19:34

what happens with MOTD2 ... surely the snooker wont finish at 10:30?

Gilly · 30 Apr 2006 at 19:36

They might switch coverage of the snooker to one of the other BBC channels.

Psycho Ned · 30 Apr 2006 at 19:37

They'll probably put the snooker on interactive while MOTD is on .....by the time they come back Ebdon might have decided on what shot he is gonna play

Gilly · 30 Apr 2006 at 20:50

I hate the way Dott blows chalk off his cue. Looks like a pigeon.

lemonkettaz · 30 Apr 2006 at 20:54

dott looks ill... and gaunt all the time.

im not really diehard snookerfan, but i like watching the world championship, havent seen a lot this year though... but this is a drab final
