blimey

but even then, i'm kinda lost for words now

hes been the one banging the drum for barry hearn to takeover so he can earn more money.

I have somehow avoided watching a single Dott match so far.

Was rooting for Selby tbh.

dott is a local lad (so is higgins i suppose)

I enjoyed the last frame of the dott match, some good snooker in that.

graeme dott's 47 break was incredible

Extraordinary story. Does it ever get around to naming the sport?

A collision of two tough players, each with a remarkable story, will take place today and tomorrow in the final of the world snooker championship.

Indeed!

Didn't you always say he was boring? Well, now he isn't - just like Tiger Woods.

That 47 break was phenomenal. Exhibition snooker on acid or what? For two of the three frames that he needed to win it was until the 40 break on the final one that had any control of the cue ball for the basic bread-and-butter shots.

Anyone see Robertson's interview yesterday after the game...got all tearful after saying that on what might have been his final go at the sport he arrived in the UK and was down to his last 500 quid.

Can see Robertson leading after the first day but Dott coming back and this being quite close...we'll see.

BBC News breaking news ticker: "Suspended snooker champion John Higgins denies being involved in match-fixing"

He said he was scared and just went along with it.
"I'm 100% guilt free" he said in statement just before snooker started.

9-7 will be an amazing feat for dott

... and he gets it. What a scrappy affair, this match. Exciting, but let's hope they both get a good night's sleep, eh?

Never seen someone looking so exhausted as Dott in that second session.

Here is hoping for more fluidity today.

who has the more embarrassing hair here. dott with the plugs or the feathered bondi barnet of robbo?

are they plugs?

At this pace they're not going to have a very long break between the sessions, if there's going to be one at all.

are they plugs?

don't think so.

nice century there by dott.

not plugs, just thinning hair with gel.

Er, only 6 frames in this session then?

Yeah, originally eight frames but last session has to start by 8pm so it can be cut short to allow enough for a break.

Ah. Thanks, did not know that.

Didn't really want these 2 in the final, but if Dott's had a mini siesta, it could be interesting.
Will go with bed-head to win though.
Whoever wins, will cry i'm guessing?

Dott's crying already (I know, I know, it's just his face, he can't help it)

Robertson's got another three gears, so I kinda expect him to cruise the rest. Dodgy positional play will always be his weak-spot, though...

Think 60-40 chance on Robertson winning...but I thought Selby would beat Dott and he didn't.

who's actually supporting Dott

We need a new boring resilient dogged Scotsman now that Higgins is mildly interesting.

we definitely don't

especially not one who's already boringed his way to one world title

Wonder how many titles Higgins threw at O'Sullivan for cash pounds...

Also wonder if Steve Davis is questioning the value of his recent giant killing...

who's actually supporting Dott
he's getting a few cheers and c'mons!

from british nationalists

I was just going to hint at how suspicious the lack of centuries was in the final, as if they didn't dare score one because they knew the world's mafia was betting on it and the snooker police was watching their every move, and then Dott made one. :-/

also, no lady ref for final?
too busy pissing about with silly quiz's with old snooker players.

awesome self-snooker there from the dottster

Right, that's a spanking. xpost

also
i like Robertsons foundation, really brings his eyes out ;)

What a RILF, eh?

She's no Len Ganley.

Cozen is supporting Dott..
