Snooker 2024-25

[Lotte]

Selby now with the second highest break so far.

 

[klang]

always had Murphy down as a tory.

 

[two sheds]

Last three frames of Allen v Page were excellent though

Selby v Lisowski's turning into some match if Lisowski can stop Selby running away with it .

 

[Lotte]

I'm appreciating the close-ups of Selby's big sad face.

They really need to get him a new nickname. Summat that rhymes with Prozac maybe?

 

[Lotte]

Mark Sad Boi.

Can't believe he missed that red.

what side is it on? I tried the red button but that says not available yet

I was watching it on Eurosport - it's just finished - table 2 is on iplayer at the mo, tho

 

[Lotte]

I'm on iPlayer, it's showing Si and Wu. It is not a fun frame. I have no dog in this fight but want Wu to win so the bloody thing is over with.

Virgo coming out with shite my Dad would say: "I don't think either of them want to win it!"

 

[Throbbing Angel]

"That's a bad miss!"

 

[Lotte]

Snooker is too decorous to allow people to shout 'JUST FUCKING POT IT YOU TWAT'.

The camera has shown two teenage boys who clearly wish the damn thing was over too.

ETA: Wu is clearly bored shitless too because he started potting everything. Thank fuck.

Class red in the green pocket to win it though

and ta, I've only just recently found out about the red button so I've now bookmarked iPlayer, too

 

[Boo Radley75]

always had Murphy down as a tory.

Seem to remember him slagging off Jeremy Corbyn over brexit, once and he certainly lives the life of a Tory - made a big deal about being a Christian and then cheats on his wife with a prossie.

 

[Lotte]

Maguire is having a very bad day. Tbf if he has a migraine, I'm not surprised. I wouldn't be able to see the bloody balls. And to add insult to injury, Wilson just got a century.

The third frame was painful to watch though.

 

[two sheds]

I like Holt, he's really demonstrative around the table and saying things like "well that was rubbish" after missing shots.

Brecel not playing too well which is a shame I do like him, too.

 

[littlebabyjesus]

I've watched bits and pieces this week. Some pretty ordinary stuff by the looks of it. Have I just been unlucky or has the standard been meh so far?

 

[two sheds]

Not seen a huge amount, there have been a few good frames but yep pretty well.

 

[stavros]

Selby looked stunning in the first three frames, and somehow managed to lose.

Kinda like Ronnie in Champs and this tournament (not to mention others)

It's been pretty bang average. Apart from Wilson absolutely twatting Maguire, and even then the third frame was boring.

 

[Skinny Ethel]

Been a 147 tonight?

 

[Lotte]

Anda, wasn't it? I'm watching Williams and Bingham and there haven't been any yet.

 

[stavros]

Kinda like Ronnie in Champs and this tournament (not to mention others)

Oh yeah, I only watched the first four, and Lisowski barely got to the table in the first three. In fact I think in the first frame his only shot was the break-off.

 

[Throbbing Angel]

Been a 147 tonight?

Was that the Zhang Anda one or another one?

 

[blairsh]

Zhang Anda

 

[blairsh]

Lisowski with the first frame against Carter and he is certainly looking confident is Jack, so

 

[two sheds]

Robinson was taking his time in the Trump match. Walking back and forth, looking at this and that, getting down to the shot then up again.. The commentator said that Trump had commented that he found that sort of thing off putting after a previous match.

Trump must have been tempted once he'd won a frame to look round a bit and get up and down a few times pointedly.

 

[blairsh]

Really enjoying LIsowski/Carter, 4 frames in

 

[Lotte]

Carter pisses me off, so I'm glad Lisowski won. Only caught bits of Wu and Allen, but it was pretty tedious.
