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

The Brecel Gilbert match is down to the final frame.

Will the Crucible Curse strike again?

 

[Psycho Ned]

Can see Brecel going out on night 1 here.

 

[chrismscotland]

Brecel should have had this wrapped up ages ago

 

[chrismscotland]

Wow! Match ball

 

[Feek]

Wow! Match ball

Two match balls!

 

[Feek]

And there we go. That’s what you get for not wearing a bow tie.

Well played by Dave Gilbert there but Brecel threw it away.

 

[chrismscotland]

Didn't expect that when the draw was made; the curse is real

 

[Psycho Ned]

Brecel didn’t look right in that evening session at all.

Gave up only needing 1 snooker at the end as well!

 

[UTmaniac]

Very surprised Luca conceded needing only one snooker... Was he ill?

Fair play to Gilbert, he played well from 8-5 down.

 

[ic1male]

I wonder if Luca has the same laissez-faire attitude like Ronnie sometimes, i.e. can't be bothered.

They both seem to have other priorities out side of the sport, as does Mark Williams I feel.

 

[Psycho Ned]

Selby 7-2 down at the end of the first session so looking like a 3rd seed is biting the dust.

Im also shocked Zhang looks like he is gone also, i thought he was one of the on form players

Will probably retire if he goes out.

 

[Reuben klang]

Will probably retire if he goes out.

Good, I hate watching him. He’s so boring.

He’s spent the last year celebrating his fluke from a year ago and hasn’t really done anything since.
His history at the Crucible says it all really. R1, R1, R1, R1, R1, won, R1.

 

[UTmaniac]

Another seed bites the dust, McGuire playing like days of old this evening, thought Carter would breeze through that one after the season he's had.

 

[Psycho Ned]

Top half of the draw has cut up massively, if Selby goes out then Mark Allen must be thinking his Christmas's have come at once!

Wilson, who retained the Scottish and won the Welsh, has been all at sea against Bingham this morning. Bingham missed a few shockers too.

Bingham was looking good for a clearance steal in their final frame of the session, left himself a tricky pink but nailed it with good position, to then miss the black and gift Wilson a lifeline of 6-3.

I loved how the Crucible went completely nuts when Stuart missed his final black.
