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

[Bubo]

Tony Knowles would have probably tried snorting it.

 

[gingergundog]

Lucky they didn’t do that back in the 80’s when the players were all plastered and Charley’d up. The likes of Alex Higgins would have wrapped his cue around their heads.

Yep I'm sure The Whirlwind would have had a go

 

[Tombstone]

Ray Reardon would have cowered away in a dark corner thinking it was garlic powder

 

[gingergundog]

Used to watch a lot of snooker back in the 90s/00s but just dip in and out now. Weird to see Mark Williams playing so well after all these years, used to not like him that much but he seems to be quite down to earth these days. Pretty sure he came on the scene the same time as the other Welshman Mathew Stevens, he seemed to disappear off the planet.

Quite a few of the "class of '92" still at the sharp end with Williams, Ronnie and Higgins all still competitive, its nice to see.
Yeah Matthew Stevens has all but disappeared from the main televised stages these days, just doesn't seem to qualify for much, shame as at one point he threatened to be one of the big stars

Surprised Jimmy doesn't have a line of orange powder on his face while he's sat on the Eurosport couch

 

[Gerard]

I'd LOVE to see them try that protest **** at a darts tournament, they'd be taken out in body bags.

Couldnt remember what he looked like so had a look on google images.

Stevens lost in the last qualifying round this year to Dave Gilbert but yeah his best days were all in the early days of his career then it totally tailed off.

 

[Malevolence]

Someone ought to have put a snooker ball or two in a sock and smacked the dumb **** around the head with it a few times.

I can just imagine the ref saying "Im the daddy now"

 

[ic1male]

Seems that the woman was trying to glue herself to the table. Obviously she didn't use fast acting superglue as she did have a hold of the cushion with one hand.

Iirc Stevens' form dropped after his dad died, he was such a talent around 2000, had Mark Williams on the ropes in the world final but couldn't finish him off.

 

[robfosters]

I remember Stevens and Hunter were the young guns supposed to be the big stars of snookers future. Unfortunately tragedy got in the way and put an end to that.

 

[UTmaniac]

McGill has been punishing Trump's errors this afternoon, once again been let in and a chance for a 6-3 session... After a great recovery green while touching the blue a moment ago!

 

[ic1male]

Judd always seems to be naff on the first session. I can see him winning tomorrow.

 

[robfosters]

Could see this coming, McGill has no respect for records and reputation, he loves the challenge

 

[robfosters]

147 from Kyren Wilson. Great stuff!

Shame it's not getting the usual £147k prize this year.

 

[Feek]

Shame it's not getting the usual £147k prize this year.

I seem to remember that Steve Davis won a Lada for the first ever televised 147
