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

It's all over now. Jak might do quite well in the final session but no chance of winning eight more frames before Kyren gets over the line. Congrats Kyren, world champion 2024.

Jak was totally exhausted yesterday morning and he lost the match in that session, he had 4 first to 10 qualifiers, he said he was not sleeping well and had to do interviews till late after his semi apparently. They should have a day off after the semis in my opinion, Jak was clearly half asleep

Probably dying of boredom

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!

Christ that would bore me even as a player.

Hoping Kyren can wrap this up before my dinner is ready so I can get on with the rest of my evening

Seen better snooker from the b teams on Thursday night ffs.

Jak Jones first century of the tournament in the 27th frame of the final.

That must be a record.

I thought it was just his first of the match

They were too busy choking to death from the crowd all smoking. I think some of the players may have also had a pint or two lol

 

[UTmaniac]

Kyren flukes the re-spotted black around the angles for frame 17.

 

[Merlin5]

Jak is a great player but with so many mistakes he's not ready to be a champion yet. Needs much more experience. He'll get there though.

I take it back, its like watching BLIND B team players on a Thursday night.

Yeh, agree with this. His shot selection last night was annoying me.

It’s over now though - has been for a while to be fair.

Christ I don't know what's worse to watch. This snooker final or Man United.

Talk about a rock and a hard place...

 

[GarethSouthpete]

Is this **** still going? Just tuned in again, swiftly tuning out again..

Possible 147 break, switch back on!

We’re all in the same boat here. I’m not going to lie, I’ve started watching those youtube videos on Stephen hendys page.

 

[Feek]

Couple of tricky reds but a possible maximum here. Much as I don’t particularly like Jak, I’d like him to get it.

/edit - ahh well.

 

[Kelt]

That was an awful attempt at the last red.
