I thought Selby showed plenty of character last night

Character with a charisma bypass

Withdrawal symptoms setting in already! This morning without any snooker has been crap.

Just been out shopping and saw Willie Thorne on the front page of the Mirror newspaper. Apparently he has a gambling problem and they had a pic of him on some slot machine saying something like "a new low". Why is this headline news for a national newspaper? :confused:

Why not? Snooker's biggest tournament and Willie is a commentator at it. He's already been bankrupt due to gambling. Standard tabloid fodder.

And we're off. Nervy start from Ding and Selby.

I suppose I'd rather Ding wins, but after Ronnie and Alan were beaten I really don't care all that much who lifts the trophy.

ic1male · 1 May 2016 at 15:45

I can see Ding losing 18-4.

Sliver · 1 May 2016 at 15:56

4-0 Selby for this first session. I feel bad for Ding. He just hasn't settled yet. He desperately needs a frame under his belt soon or Selby is going to whitewash him.

Looks like I've jinxed it.

Selby now 6-0 and looking good for the next two.

Ding won't be allowed back in to China at this rate.

Off Topic, I just googled your sig and got this:

Hana and I saw Shi snow each yesterday original water.

Which leads me to ask, wtf?

Hehehe. Google Translate cannot do haikus properly.

It roughly means something like "Falling like cherry blossom, the snow of yesterday, is water once again."

May be the game plan.

Sliver · 1 May 2016 at 17:20

Finally Ding grabs a frame!

Cosimo · 1 May 2016 at 17:20

Finally in the match, 6-1.

ic1male · 1 May 2016 at 17:20

Sounds like the Crucible is in "root for the underdog" mode now.

marc2003 · 1 May 2016 at 17:23

If he can escape from this session just 4 frames behind, that will be one hell of a result.

Sliver · 1 May 2016 at 17:43

So Ding grabs another for 6-2 behind. Not a total nightmare, but he now has to come out tonight all guns blazing to make a match of it.
