What happened to the Sunday Night Final Climax? That was an INSTITUTION.

― Starry (Cozen), Monday, 5 May 2003 20:31 (twenty-one years ago) link

nothing must be allowed to run over 24...they actually cancelled 24 for one week because of the fucking golf a month or so ago, that was bad enough

What happened to the Sunday Night Final Climax? That was an INSTITUTION.

Surely it's finished on a May Day BH Monday for ages?

Cor, 17-16... must watch exciting finish in bed. (Last year Pam fell asleep midway through 35th frame...)

― Michael Jones (MichaelJ), Monday, 5 May 2003 21:05 (twenty-one years ago) link

just finished. mark 18-16

― Julio Desouza (jdesouza), Monday, 5 May 2003 21:16 (twenty-one years ago) link

shame, feel sorry for Ken, but Williams seems a funny chap and pretty decent.

― Ronan (Ronan), Monday, 5 May 2003 21:17 (twenty-one years ago) link

great match: i wished ken won really. Mark has been the best player. he trashed everybody on the way to the final and is world no1. and he knocked stephen hendry out so he's fine with me.

''is that the conway hall thing you went to?''

yup.

― Julio Desouza (jdesouza), Monday, 5 May 2003 21:19 (twenty-one years ago) link

I always liked him. < /back-track>. haha, no, yeah, he did come off as a nice guy... More power to him and all that...

― Cozen (Cozen), Monday, 5 May 2003 21:20 (twenty-one years ago) link

yeah, after his comeback in the semis i thought his name was on the trophy. oh well, it was a good game, and i quite like williams, too.

I'm a right tool when it comes to snooker though (like most things, I suppose) in that I really like Stephen Hendry and really hate (HATE!) Ronnie O'Sullivan.

― Cozen (Cozen), Monday, 5 May 2003 21:23 (twenty-one years ago) link

I like ronnie and i don't hate stephen (though many do) BUT i don't want him to win more world titles.

― Julio Desouza (jdesouza), Monday, 5 May 2003 21:36 (twenty-one years ago) link

Ronnie O'Sullivan makes me think of the pig's head, goading me, making me stupid.

― RickyT (RickyT), Monday, 5 May 2003 21:39 (twenty-one years ago) link

wah! ronnie is great and should win more world titles. you are just jealous of his talent. bunch of hataz!

― Julio Desouza (jdesouza), Monday, 5 May 2003 21:41 (twenty-one years ago) link

ppl hate ronnie cos he's an arrogant prick, but yes, he is entertaining.

― weasel diesel (K1l14n), Monday, 5 May 2003 22:17 (twenty-one years ago) link

Ronnie O'Sullivan is like a modern day Michael Corleone.

― Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Monday, 5 May 2003 22:29 (twenty-one years ago) link

come on Jimmy!

― stevem (blueski), Tuesday, 6 May 2003 01:05 (twenty-one years ago) link

Reserve your hatred for John Parrott. Supposed to be funny, but just comes across as self-absorbed, unnatural on TV and, dare I say it, blown away by Steve Davis in terms of TV presentation.

― Daniel (dancity), Tuesday, 6 May 2003 16:59 (twenty-one years ago) link

We need better snooker coverage here in the states. The kids don't even know how it works here.

― teeny (teeny), Tuesday, 6 May 2003 17:03 (twenty-one years ago) link

Wot no Cabbage?

I enjoyed 'Frame Academy' very much indeed. It put the 'OO' back into snooker for a few minutes, especially Steve Davis's elasticated balls.

I also enjoyed the odd glimpse of Terry Griffiths.

― PJ Miller (PJ Miller), Wednesday, 7 May 2003 08:39 (twenty-one years ago) link

R O'Sullivan is signing his books in Borders round the corner from me tonight, and his lingerie emporium is v.near where I work. It's Ronnie's world, I just live in it.

― Tico Tico (Tico Tico), Wednesday, 7 May 2003 09:06 (twenty-one years ago) link

Ronnie O'Sullivan is everything.

― Alex K (Alex K), Wednesday, 7 May 2003 09:52 (twenty-one years ago) link

nine months pass...

bum-di-bum-bum-bump!

o'sullivan vs hunter 8:7 ...and 4 more to go, eh? or less, meh?
(it is live on eurosport, innit?)

― t\'\'t (t\'\'t), Sunday, 8 February 2004 22:32 (twenty years ago) link

...the masters...

― t\'\'t (t\'\'t), Sunday, 8 February 2004 22:33 (twenty years ago) link

what is with these dudes' hair??

― teeny (teeny), Sunday, 8 February 2004 22:37 (twenty years ago) link

like, long?

― t\'\'t (t\'\'t), Sunday, 8 February 2004 22:38 (twenty years ago) link

they saw me and thought 'heeey!'

― teeny (teeny), Sunday, 8 February 2004 22:40 (twenty years ago) link

and o'sullivan kinda looks like nick cave.

― teeny (teeny), Sunday, 8 February 2004 22:41 (twenty years ago) link

uuu-mmm... not quite

― t\'\'t (t\'\'t), Sunday, 8 February 2004 22:43 (twenty years ago) link

sorry, I'm just peeved they don't carry this in america.

― teeny (teeny), Sunday, 8 February 2004 22:44 (twenty years ago) link

oh, it's now 9:7 to o'mullivann...

― t\'\'t (t\'\'t), Sunday, 8 February 2004 22:47 (twenty years ago) link

I've not watched snooker for a while. What's happened to O'Sullivan's bowlcut?

Also these are a couple of sexy shits, eh?

― Eyeball Kicks (Eyeball Kicks), Sunday, 8 February 2004 22:54 (twenty years ago) link

I mean, I imagine someone making smartass comments, esp about the blond one...

― Eyeball Kicks (Eyeball Kicks), Sunday, 8 February 2004 22:56 (twenty years ago) link

But if it was a foul leading to a free-ball in some dim alleyway, I bet you'd force him to play again, eh?

― Eyeball Kicks (Eyeball Kicks), Sunday, 8 February 2004 22:57 (twenty years ago) link

Whatever.

They're both pretty great.

― Eyeball Kicks (Eyeball Kicks), Sunday, 8 February 2004 22:57 (twenty years ago) link

Ew. Hunter looks about twelve and has one of David Beckhams's old haircuts. This does not sexy make :(

(xpost)

O'Sullivan's post-therapy interviews are a mind-boggling wonder of pop-psychology-speak (well, the only one I saw this week anyway).

― ailsa (ailsa), Sunday, 8 February 2004 22:59 (twenty years ago) link

...9:8 now, with 18th under way

― t\'\'t (t\'\'t), Sunday, 8 February 2004 23:00 (twenty years ago) link

Ain't that entertainment -- 9:9, uhhhhh!

― t\'\'t (t\'\'t), Sunday, 8 February 2004 23:29 (twenty years ago) link

That was some red, eh?

― Eyeball Kicks (Eyeball Kicks), Sunday, 8 February 2004 23:42 (twenty years ago) link

This could be Hunter's chance now, I reckon.

― ailsa (ailsa), Sunday, 8 February 2004 23:44 (twenty years ago) link

We should commentate. You be Willie Thorne.

― Eyeball Kicks (Eyeball Kicks), Sunday, 8 February 2004 23:44 (twenty years ago) link

I'm thingy from the Jim Davidson show. With the beard.

― Eyeball Kicks (Eyeball Kicks), Sunday, 8 February 2004 23:45 (twenty years ago) link

I don't think Hunter can win the frame at this visit.

― Eyeball Kicks (Eyeball Kicks), Sunday, 8 February 2004 23:45 (twenty years ago) link

What will he do here?

― Eyeball Kicks (Eyeball Kicks), Sunday, 8 February 2004 23:45 (twenty years ago) link

Not bad. Nothing left on here.

― Eyeball Kicks (Eyeball Kicks), Sunday, 8 February 2004 23:46 (twenty years ago) link

Lots of balls near the cushions (I'm plagiarising here).

― Eyeball Kicks (Eyeball Kicks), Sunday, 8 February 2004 23:46 (twenty years ago) link

What does that mean, Willie?

― Eyeball Kicks (Eyeball Kicks), Sunday, 8 February 2004 23:47 (twenty years ago) link

WHAT A MISS!

― Eyeball Kicks (Eyeball Kicks), Sunday, 8 February 2004 23:47 (twenty years ago) link

HE'S LEFT IT!

― Eyeball Kicks (Eyeball Kicks), Sunday, 8 February 2004 23:47 (twenty years ago) link

MATCH-WINNING CHANCE!

Yup

― xyzzzz__, Sunday, 5 May 2024 17:42 (five days ago) link

Kyren let Jak off the hook there. Still 10-5 down but that could've been it.

― xyzzzz__, Sunday, 5 May 2024 20:42 (five days ago) link

10-7 would be really bad for KW here

― LaMDA barry-stanners (||||||||), Sunday, 5 May 2024 20:55 (five days ago) link

Black ball fellas

― xyzzzz__, Sunday, 5 May 2024 21:15 (five days ago) link

turning into a match this

― LaMDA barry-stanners (||||||||), Sunday, 5 May 2024 21:15 (five days ago) link

Wow @ this frame

― xyzzzz__, Sunday, 5 May 2024 21:19 (five days ago) link

Yeah, crazy climax

― Bitchin Doutai (Noodle Vague), Sunday, 5 May 2024 21:22 (five days ago) link

heist

― LaMDA barry-stanners (||||||||), Sunday, 5 May 2024 21:22 (five days ago) link

Final might've peaked here I thinm

― xyzzzz__, Sunday, 5 May 2024 21:23 (five days ago) link

At least it was a bit of a match

― xyzzzz__, Sunday, 5 May 2024 21:24 (five days ago) link

Jak has won 2/3 frames this morning

― xyzzzz__, Monday, 6 May 2024 13:09 (four days ago) link

Bad break off, Kyren clears up. 13-8

If they share the next four probably won't be worth watching tonight

― xyzzzz__, Monday, 6 May 2024 13:22 (four days ago) link

if Virgo does his "where's the cue ball going?" shtick one more time i'm putting my foot thru the TV

― Bitchin Doutai (Noodle Vague), Monday, 6 May 2024 13:56 (four days ago) link

Just not convinced by Kyren. Should've made Jak pay for a stupid pink. Didn't. 13-9

xp - Virgo is such a cunt. Also just shouts stuff. Peolple witb headphones in the audience just laugh at this nonsense.

― xyzzzz__, Monday, 6 May 2024 13:57 (four days ago) link

i would say neither of these lads has shown consistent mental resilience in the final but here we are

― Bitchin Doutai (Noodle Vague), Monday, 6 May 2024 14:01 (four days ago) link

Yeah probably the worst quality final since Dott - Ebdon

― xyzzzz__, Monday, 6 May 2024 14:05 (four days ago) link

big frame for Jones that

― Bitchin Doutai (Noodle Vague), Monday, 6 May 2024 14:12 (four days ago) link

Yup. Could've easily been 15-8. Its 13-10

― xyzzzz__, Monday, 6 May 2024 14:13 (four days ago) link

Find it hard to fully get behind someone called Jak tbh.

― I've left the box of soup near your shoes (Tom D.), Monday, 6 May 2024 14:18 (four days ago) link

Kyren in first again..

― xyzzzz__, Monday, 6 May 2024 14:21 (four days ago) link

14-10. Jak surely has to win this final frame of the session

― xyzzzz__, Monday, 6 May 2024 14:34 (four days ago) link

Oh dear. Jak is done I think. Black off the spot

― xyzzzz__, Monday, 6 May 2024 14:50 (four days ago) link

Had another chance. Missed the yellow. Fucking shit really.

Kyren is a v lucky man.

― xyzzzz__, Monday, 6 May 2024 14:54 (four days ago) link

it’s GGs

― LaMDA barry-stanners (||||||||), Monday, 6 May 2024 14:55 (four days ago) link

Jones looks absolutely gone and this shd be finished already but

― Bitchin Doutai (Noodle Vague), Monday, 6 May 2024 18:48 (four days ago) link

What a crazy frame that was.

― Dan Worsley, Monday, 6 May 2024 18:58 (four days ago) link

vintage stuff this

― LaMDA barry-stanners (||||||||), Monday, 6 May 2024 19:12 (four days ago) link

jak jones is dung

― LaMDA barry-stanners (||||||||), Monday, 6 May 2024 19:16 (four days ago) link

^retweet

― LaMDA barry-stanners (||||||||), Monday, 6 May 2024 19:22 (four days ago) link

WTF did I just watch. Crazy stuff.

― Dan Worsley, Monday, 6 May 2024 19:23 (four days ago) link

Glad I stopped watching

― xyzzzz__, Monday, 6 May 2024 19:29 (four days ago) link

just spotted andy haldane in the crowd (BBC scotland unfunnyman des clarke there too)

― LaMDA barry-stanners (||||||||), Monday, 6 May 2024 20:05 (four days ago) link

Just a carnival of poor decisions this match

― Bitchin Doutai (Noodle Vague), Monday, 6 May 2024 20:33 (four days ago) link

Another poor decision. Switched it back on and Jak is pkaying so fluently now, why not there isn't much to play for.

17-14

― xyzzzz__, Monday, 6 May 2024 20:39 (four days ago) link

Almost expecting Jones to throw the frame away for a second

― Bitchin Doutai (Noodle Vague), Monday, 6 May 2024 20:47 (four days ago) link

that black over the pocket was abysmal from kyren. he should be up the road by now

― LaMDA barry-stanners (||||||||), Monday, 6 May 2024 20:54 (four days ago) link

Hopefully somebody in the crowd knows the Heimlich

― Bitchin Doutai (Noodle Vague), Monday, 6 May 2024 20:54 (four days ago) link

finally

― Bitchin Doutai (Noodle Vague), Monday, 6 May 2024 21:03 (four days ago) link

some break to finish to be fair

― LaMDA barry-stanners (||||||||), Monday, 6 May 2024 21:05 (four days ago) link

playing against himself for every pot nearly, but fair enough in the circumstances really

― Bitchin Doutai (Noodle Vague), Monday, 6 May 2024 21:07 (four days ago) link

Such a limp to a world title. But he has been in the final before..
