2023 World Snooker Championship - 3rd April to 1st May

[UTmaniac]

Neil Robertson is playing well. Two x 146 breaks in the same session.

That ties him with Ryan Day's 146 in the world champ qualifying, which this season at least is counted for the highest break prize, after hearing Dominic and Joe commnetary talk this morning during Ding/Vafaei.

So does Neil get two thirds of the top break prize having done two 146s, if nobody does better?

Yes.

Carters safety play at times just seems so loose, his head just doesn’t seem in it just now. Lots of head shaking and long sighs, is he usually that down on himself?
On the plus side the lady behind jones has woken up.

Carters....is he usually that down on himself?

Not seen him play for a while but yeah he is.

If Luca loses this match tonight, he can clear off and go play darts.

It’s looking more and more likely.

My name is Luca, I got to the second round.
About time lol.

 

[robfosters]

I thought Williams would have a battle against Robertson. Underrated player is Robertson.

Taken long enough, I remember Hendry praising Brecel as the "next big thing" back when Brecel had hair

I’m not sure I’ve ever seen him with hair, on his day he is up there though.

When he first appeared at the Crucible, he did.

Brecel confident he can dealing with Crucible pressure as he prepares for World Championship bow

Luca Brecel will become the youngest player to appear in a World Championship on Sunday but the precocious Belgian insists he can handle the spotlight.

Vafaei played those first four frames like a machine, unreal standard !

Doing a bit of trash talking now. I don’t know what’s happened between him and Ronnie.

Yeah I heard Ronnie referencing comments Vafaei made last year, no offence to him but you don't come into a sport and start slagging off probably the best player, I know Ronnie gets stick because he doesn't play in every tournament, etc but I feel at this point he's probably earned that right - its not as if he isn't there by merit anyway (unlike certainly other partially retired ex-Champs who don't seem to give a toss)

 

[Feek]

I see the cheater is likely to go through. He’s 6-1 up at the moment.

Vafaei was saying to the media that Ronnie was a moaner and no good for the game any more. He should retire. Ronnie obviously took exception to that.

Idiot, stupid woman.

Just Stop Oil dumb, dumb interrupting the Mark Allen match!

Flipping heck. Olivier referee grappling with a protester! She could have been naked at least.
