Been a good start from Ding. He only needs 8 more frames to book himself a place in round 2
It's April 23rd again - you know what that means.Perhaps this is the year we finally finish the card?
Thank you BBC for picture in picture so that I can watch the beginning of Ding's quest.

FUGG, I missed the first 3 days.Shameful, but not having /147/ in the title also is.
I still dislike BBC's scoreboard gradient. See how it goes from yellow to white? It should be the opposite for the player on the right. Make it symmetrical.
>>140310883Yeah it should be mirrored true that
>>140310883You bastard, I'll never unsee that
>>140310659we'll all feel awfully silly, when instead of the dreaded move to china or saudistan, they'll move the world championships to robin hull's garage in tampere

Everything's so bad - if you ask me if I want to come back here, I would tell you no way.Forget the history, you want to go somewhere really nice as a poster. You scroll through the /147/ and it smells really bad.You go to other generals and everything is shiny. But here it's completely different.The memes - do you see anything special? I feel like I'm making memes in MS Paint.Look at the /180/ how fantastic they treat the posters, a walk on music and epic chants throughout the championship.The anons are treated like stars. But here no one looks after the lads, before and after the session no one cares who you are.If they don't want to lose /147/ invest some rigcoin, make it loopier, make it zestier, make it more prestigious for the people. If they make it cleaner and nicer, people will enjoy it.

>>140313258its over
>>140313148well si, you see, got to a world semi final aged 20 ; ding's first semi final was when he was 24
Genuinely don't know why people stand in that bit behind where the presenters sit, you can only see the back of their heads and you can't hear what they're saying, plus the queue to play on the table for a medal is ridiculous.
I get the impression that si simply wants to win this more than willo
>>140313332we snooker fans are just idiots mate it's time you accept this
I'm looking forward to watching Si play insanely good snooker until the semi against rpmmie when he suddenly forgets how to hold a cue.

>>140313949I think we’re about as busy as we always are. But the top meme this year is pessimism and misery, so that might influence the OC that gets produced.Actually, that reminds me: can someone please post the Twitter screenshot of the anonymous player again, confessing the plans for a breakaway tour? I think we might need that image for any 2024 collages that will definitely get made, so it would be good to have that picture in the thread where it’s accessible.
That black nearly hit me.
Absolute madman trying to kill someone with that black>>140313978Gotta love snooker autist Stephen
I don't like Mark Williams
Stephen I'm sure is okay with the YCP making a fluke at 7-8 but not with Mark Williams potting 5-6 insane balls the last frame because he made like a joke or something

Big up SiRIP Willo
I may have underestimated the power of Crucible Si when he's not wearing his dad's suit..
6 seeds out omg
Reminder that NOBODY has ever won the Tour Championship and then made it past the first round of the World Championship (in the same season or later seasons). It was inevitably over (and will remain over) for Willo before it even began.
well done, si, well done, however >>140313362if he loses before the final, I'll put a fucking curse on this ycp
its over willobros
Why did Mark, the larger of the two players, not simply eat his competitor?
Radzi on Pointless, batting for the other home of snooker.
Some YCPs have been coddledAnd racists call them “cannon foddle”And sadly, it’s trueA vessel of WewIs the closest the Chinese come to bottle
>>140314931I can think of a few reasons.

>>140314931i cant think of a reason

How rare is a perfect break
I fully expect Si to make a statement that the Crucible smells of the sweetest roses, and that every tournament should be played there for eternity.
>>140315434A 147? Not overly rare really.
>>140298147>the 'Billy Bobbins' incident is legitimately one of the funniest things I've ever witnessedis this where the meme nickname comes from? did the tv people misidentify him or something?
>>140315576Yes. My own personal assumption is that they had the TV graphics set up with a fake name before the match had been won, and they forgot to change it and broadcast the placeholder name on live TV. They could equally have called him Hugh Janus, or Name Goes Here.
>>140315616that sounds believable man, yeahhaha, billy bobbins is such a funny one to have chosen thoughgonna see if i can find footage of the event

>>140317520He failed to qualify last year hence my confusion. How you rank fifth anyway out of the 4 quarter finals. Reckon they fucked up as usual.

they play like the crucible smells
>>140318148Don't know much about Pang, but Milkins never really thrills me.
I guess whoever loses here is the true winner. He can get piss drunk until he completely forgets his embarrassing performance. meanwhile the "winnier" will get reminded of his in the next round.
>>140317030the number is the amount of frames the player will win in this event
>>140318970>He can get piss drunkMilkins is going to do this regardless of the result, so it's sort of a moot point

good news everyone, Cardiacs guy is back
If Milkins fucks this up...
You know how some people apparently don't have the ability to see their thoughts? Like, if you ask people to picture an apple, different people can envisage one with different detail? I have never had any trouble with that, but I have just realised I cannot picture Robert Milkins standing next to Ryan Day. In my head, they are the same person.
>>140320699Just picture a toby jug standing next to Odo from Deep Space 9
Does Milkman deserve to win this?
It doesn't matter at all who wins this. The winner of this match will lose in the next round anyway. We are only watching this out of completeness.
>>140320766>Winner plays David GilbertTruly this is a tournament for the exceptionally loopy.
>>140320752This clearance is admittedly impressive.
>plays like shit for 17 frames>suddenly fucking sickWhat the fuck bros.To celebrate I will watch season two of Tantei Opera Milky Holmes.
Extremely pangful(For Junxu)
Milkins will beat Gilbert
One of these shitters is guaranteed to be in the semi final.

>>140320986It just has to be Shaun Murphy, I'm afraid. I can't see anyone else getting anywhere near that semi-final. At least this means he might do less commentary.

prediction update: currently 4-6
Kyren Wilson won that by a fluke, McGill looked like a serious challenge for Ronnie. I can't take that game seriously, how long was that 80-70 game, almost two hours?
>>140321826I agree with willo, it was a beautiful break. held himself together in a way not many YCPs could do - perhaps he did learn something from the breclel incident

>>140331109Speaking of Hoss forgetting to count I believe it was that match when Willo learned the rule had changed and swiping the cue ball now results in a penalty.

okay its easy for me to say but i honestly cannot understand how you can choke so often during worldslike both jack and ding usually play worse here than anywhere else what i'm saying its not like they dont have any practise and its not like its a football arenagranted it could be due to the smell
Dingbros, what the fuck?

Well, that was odd.

>>140332120Some players just play differently in different tournaments. Anthony McGill isn’t here this year, but he does very well at the Crucible normally, especially for a player who isn’t very good the rest of the time.
>>140332087Maybe ben is the schizo joyceposter
holy crap that escape was insane
>>140332380Dottie has made the same amount of World finals as Trump and three times more than Nieul
>>140332411Dotty used to be a serious serious player. Funny to think in a way, no disrespect. Its just the idea that some people would be whincing when they drew him in the first round, when today he's just this agéed babyman with grey blood and a cowards demeanor. I reckon the electric shocks changed something in him.
>>140332436>I reckon the electric shocks changed something in him.Lel. If I remember well enough he had a lot of personal problems which have never been disclosed around 2007 and then again recently, whatever the fuck happened it definitely hurt his prime
Ding, buddy, please no.
