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

I've just watched the second session on iplayer. That last frame was intense. I was so hoping Jak could pull it off and close the gap to 10-7. He got unlucky a couple of times with the black ball not dropping in the pocket. Got his work cut out today but I feel Kyren already has one hand on the trophy.

 

[Nate75]

If only he hadn't of smashed the yellow.

It looked like he wanted to lay the umm, smackdown with what would have been frame over.

Inexperience I guess...

Jones has won the first two frames with decent breaks, but they've both made mistakes both frames. Going into the interval just 11-10 down would be a dream.

 

[Haggisman]

I got tickets for a couple of sessions the second weekend; really looking forward to my first visit!

Nice

We've been to other matches before, but not at the Crucible. Saw Ronnie get his 1000th century up in Preston, and the atmosphere was fantastic.

The other half has always wanted to go to the Crucible though, but never been able to get tickets, so she should hopefully be happy!

Glad I didn't buy tickets to watch this final, nothing of any real quality. I'd feel ripped off.

 

[UTmaniac]

Whatever you do, don't hit the blue on the break off... Oh Jak!

 

[Merlin5]

It's surely all over now.

 

[UTmaniac]

It's surely all over now.

Jak has to win at least three of the four frames after this afternoon's interval, which would make it 14-11.

 

[Stu999]

It's surely all over now.

With all the mistakes going on I’m not so sure.

 

[Feek]

Terrible snooker.

 

[el_dazza]

Wilson looks like he's got one eye on he winning line here, 2 dreadful frames and he's only 3 ahead now.

Someone is always taken ill at the Crucible. What are they doing to people?

One of the terms and conditions when you buy tickets is that you must be suffering from a cold/flu/cough/plague.

Witchcraft.

Probably dying of boredom

 

[Kelt]

I wouldn't watch Jak Jones for free.

Rubbish final.

 

[Stu999]

Would be interested to know how many one visit wins there have been in the final.

 

[Feek]

I like Sport but I tried to give watching Snooker a go but it's just so slow and boring... They need to do a cricket and sack off this long winded format in favour of a bit of speed snooker or something with only 7 frames or so.. Watching a single match take 2 days is ridiculous

Early 70s, the final was the best of 73 frames which took five days to play.

And they played all of them, even when someone had reached 37 frames!

 

[UTmaniac]

Wow, thought Jones' black off the spot miss would cost him final frame, but Kyren has wobbled again!

 

[Freddie1980]

What is going on this frame?!? There getting all hard ones but missing sitters
