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

Once again proving he loves to talk out of his arse.

"Ronnie O’Sullivan has cast doubt on whether he will play in the United Kingdom next season after his hopes of a record eighth world title in the modern era were dashed by Stuart Bingham."

I want to see a Bingham Wilson final.

I’m sorry, it’s the world championships. If you can’t wear a bow tie, you shouldn’t be competing. I don’t want Jones to win. No scruffy gits in the most prestigious tournament of the year.

Might have the same fat neck condition as Stephen Maguire, who got a medical exemption for having to wear a bowtie.

Bingham needs to liven things up. I suggest his cue across this sloths skull.

I don't mind the scruffy look provided you can back it up with some flair in your style of play like Alex Higgins.

Bingham needs to careful leaning over the table like that, he'll end sending all the balls down into the corner pocket!

bjorkiii · 2 May 2024 at 22:39

The crowds praying for a just stop oil protester to run on and glue a multicoloured wig on jacks head

Come back Peter Ebdon all is forgiven.

Oh no, he caused me to go off snooker. I couldn’t watch it. I’m still convinced he was the reason they brought the time clock in for a couple of events.

Theres a good video on YT where it’s split screen between that 147 and his break of 9 or something.

Reuben klang · 3 May 2024 at 12:56

David Gilbert 9
Kyren Wilson 4
Ronnie O'Sullivan 4
Stuart Bingham 4
Stephen Maguire 4

Century breaks this tournament. Would never have thought that.

This Bingham vs Jones match seems tedious. Not gonna be watching it. Hopefully Bingham comes through.

Nice to see Neil Robertson doing punditry and commentary, seems like a really nice bloke.

ic1male · 3 May 2024 at 18:18

Everybody's 8-8! I hope we have a good final, 19-18 on Monday.

The only problem with current players commentating is that they’ve had no media training or experience at it, so they don’t seem to realise that it’s actually good to have moments of quiet while the games on. They rabbit constantly. Allen’s the worst, he doesn’t ever shut up and talks 90mph in that heavy Northern Irish accent that often needs subtitles.

I really don’t need to be told every single shot a player is going to play or what they should be doing.

Subzero85 · 3 May 2024 at 20:19

Wouldnt mind Jones or Gilbert winning it

Stu999 · 3 May 2024 at 22:12

4 frames up for Kyren is pretty good. Anything could still happen at this stage.

Rickyw88 · 3 May 2024 at 22:55

Yeah it's never really over when it comes to snooker.

I think it's been a pretty dull tournament this year, but I find by the time we get to the semi's, all 4 players are usually on pretty good form, quite evident in the Wilson Gilbert match.

Anyone ever been to the crucible? I'm gonna try get tickets on Sunday

I have found it enjoyable this year, I prefer it not to be the usual suspects winning all the time, really refreshing to see Gilbert and Jones in the Semi finals.

If it was a semi line up like ronnie, allan, john h and trump then it feels like Snooker is stuck in a groundhog day.

Freddie1980 · 4 May 2024 at 10:58

Jak Jones average shot time 28 seconds.......I bet as a kid he grow up idolising Peter Ebdon.

ic1male · 4 May 2024 at 11:30

I’ve changed my mind. Would like Karen v Stuart final.
