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

No snooker this morning!

What am I supposed to do until ~1300, once I've recovered from putting away the food delivery?

Exactly. I've got the shakes. Two more hours!

This Ronnie vs Page session could be a short one.

Edit - yep 35 mins, although Jackson is playing on for snookers.

 

[ic1male]

Nice to see Ronnie actually saying something positive in his post-match interview. If he was more like that instead of saying he was crap all the time, I wouldn't dislike him as much.

 

[robfosters]

Wow, Ronnie looks well up for this year! That interview was the most positive I’ve ever heard from him

It's Ronnie, it won't last!

Ooh hopefully they’ll show it again as I was out.

Oops, after no play yesterday morning, I thought morning sessions were done with for this year's tournament... To turn Red Button 1 on and see one table finished, with Si and Jak playing their final frame of the session!

They just played Milkin's mini tantrum. I wonder if anybody has been so mad they snapped their cue in half.

Not snapping their cue, but I do recall Tony Drago (who Milkins' style reminds me of), ripping his top 16 card in half after losing a crucial match.

 

[Stu999]

He’s had some problems in recent years Milkins, think his parents and sister all died close together. Think he showed up to a tournament opening ceremony drunk last year or the year before.

Drago slapped himself several times years ago in a qualifier against McManus, he conceded and realised he only needed 1 snooker though he left McManus on an almost certain pot.

Tony Drago goes mad. German Masters Q v Alan McManus

29/11/2012 German Masters Q round 2.Tony Drago gets confused with the score and conceded the frame and match quite early...Madness starts at 4:38 http://yout...

I do remember when a fat girlfriend of an ex-girlfriend managed to plonk her large behind on my favourite snooker cue in ny car, and snapped it in half.

The final session of the Gilbert Milkins match won’t take long.

Indeed it did not.

Video emerges of man biting a boy's ear at World Snooker Championship

Seven-time world champion Stephen Hendry was speaking during a break in play in coverage of the afternoon session when the disturbing moment could be seen in the background.

Seen this vid doing the rounds yesterday, police now looking into it.

i cant ever remember any player throwing their cue hard onto the floor like that

i think if Jan Verhaas was the Ref he might have told him to cool it

Jimmy White has done it a few times, chucked his cue, chucked a rest, battered balls off the table.

Doesn't surprise me players get this annoyed, snooker can really be a total mind **** of a game.
