Very disappointed Michaela only refereed the SF.

RILF indeed :)She has had a bit of favouritism, tis unfair to the guys who were here before her.

So far it looks like the match carries on in a similar pattern: neither play really putting on any sustained fluency.
Looks like all is going to depend on how well Robertson can hold himself together in the final frames.
― xyzzzz__, Monday, 3 May 2010 19:54 (3 years ago) Permalink
What a strange succession of great and then terrible moments from both of them, all throughout this final.
― StanM, Monday, 3 May 2010 20:03 (3 years ago) Permalink
Funnily enough I think if Dott was not going for almost everything and playing more tactical stuff he'd get this. In the last frame he went for this stupid red instead of playing safe.

Just out of interest, how many of you actually play the game?I do and love it!
― not_goodwin, Monday, 3 May 2010 20:15 (3 years ago) Permalink
I dabble now and then. Want to get back into it. My friend's a new convert so who knows...

Never touched a snookerbat in my life.

These guys make it look pretty easy though.

Dabbler too (snooker and pool), would def like to get more into it..

I'm actually supporting dott
the other dude's a haircut

I wish Dott'd be a little more stoic and stop making faces at his fans. :-/

Snookerbat?
I think you'll find it's a stick!
I play about 6-8 hours a week, wish it was more.

I enjoy knocking balls around from time to time, but any time I find myself on a full-length table always turns into a very disheartening experience

Ah, that's okay, mine's in the twenties - you were setting yourself up as some kind of hustler there

Do you think they're deliberately not talking/official embargo about Robbo's baby that was due yesterday?

i shit it, when i get near 20, the pressure's too much :-/these guys on tv have it easy.

What is up with Robertson?
― Ismael Klata, Monday, 3 May 2010 20:42 (3 years ago) Permalink
to my defence, there were no black or pinks involved.used to play on pub pool team, got ridiculous with rules, so i quit. was told i'd get a smack in the face if i didn't come to next game.never happened :)

Do you all have snooker nicknames? Not "the wizard" Goodwin?

lucky there's a vacancy for a 'wizard' at the top level at the moment too xp

Ding Junhui's wikipedia says: "A 26-episode cartoon series Dragon Ball No.1 by Beijing-based D5 Studio, based on Ding's growth from a shy boy to a snooker star, is expected to be broadcast on TV in 2010"

Hope it's more uplifting than John Parrott's effort

Was this John Parrott film directed by Terence Davies?

Yeah, that Parrott thing was some bleak shit.

Dotts got some fun bags to keep him happy if he loses.
i bet he's really rough in the sack but still has 11 year old voice!

"it's great to see you're getting on so well" (graeme's wife and Neil's mother) - yeah, well, you put them next to each other on a couch on live tv, what did you think was going to happen?

you know the snooker's shit when people start speculating about the players' shagging prowess.

About that short compilation they just showed: were Maguire and Lee here this year? I thought they were suspected of match fixing and irregular betting, respectively?
― StanM, Monday, 3 May 2010 21:25 (3 years ago) Permalink
I can't take much more of this. Dott will still be inching his way to the title when I get up tomorrow morning.
― Ismael Klata, Monday, 3 May 2010 21:46 (3 years ago) Permalink
Yeah, I'm giving up too. Nearly midnight here, there's still at least a couple of hours in this. Good luck everyone!
