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

Pulled out of the Masters now

Feel like retirement is due now - missing a TC event is unheard of for him

 

[ic1male]

That is pretty shocking. Maybe he’s broken his cue and there won’t be enough time to get used to a new one? Or he’s just completely fed up.

Robertson gets a wildcard to replace Ronnie, he could be dangerous, had spells of good form this season but facing Higgins will be a tough opener.

Ronnie is going to have to find a miracle change of form to stand a chance at the Crucible this year.

 

[Rickyw88]

Such a shame, was looking forward to that match on Sunday

Will someone get a wildcard to replace Ronnie?

He's going to have to find a miracle change of form to stand a chance at the Crucible this year.

Neil Robertson has replaced him, I'm guessing he's the next seeded player

Waa probably dented which can be removed using heat.

Masters starts on Sunday 12th, not Saturday 11th Jan... DOH!

 

[UTmaniac]

Great comeback by Robbo, 5-1 down and then quickened his shot time plus accuracy to win the decidier 6-5.

 

[Rickyw88]

Yep, was a brilliant comeback, you could tell by his interview with Rob Walker that it meant a lot to him too

What on Earth is going with Hawkins

What on Earth is going with Hawkins

He got pumped, was as bad as Carter last night

If you intend on potting a colour (say green) but you miss the pot and the green knocks another colour in (not red) is that a foul?

Yep, 4 point foul if yellow or brown get potted (or a red, unless you had nominated green as a free ball after opponent has fouled) when you've nominated green, or value of colour if you unintentionally pot blue pink or black.

Jesus Christ that was dire from Wakelin

 

[UTmaniac]

Missed a lot of the Murphy robertson match, but turned int to find Shaun was on for a max...

Snookered himself behind the blue after potting black off the final red!

I went to the final between Ken Doherty and Matthew Stevens around 2000 and recall Ken missing a very standard final black to finish on 140.

Haven't watched much today, but just flicked on Selby vs Allen and it's only 3-1 and they've been playing since 7pm

Gonna be a late one. I’ve been watching the darts instead.

 

[UTmaniac]

Allen is riding his luck at at times, but so far he's out-Selbying Selby, for a 5-1 lead!

 

[UTmaniac]

Ding has come out fighting against Judd, 3-1 up, including a steal in fourth frame!

Edit: And then Judd steamrollers Ding after the interval, 6-3!

 

[rickjames]

Don't get me wrong, this has been entertaining this evening

But Judd will wipe the floor with these two

Has Jimmy white got some kind of ongoing illness that isn't common knowledge? Watching eurosport and he looks about 7 stone soaking wet, face looks like his skins been strethched, eyes almost popping out of his head. We know he was a drinker and into the old nose candy back in the day but the last while back he's looking worse almost anytime he's on screen.

He looks like Ronnie Woods older brother at this point.
