>>154341276quite unfortunate
QUIET AS YA CAN PLEASE
Fuck me for someone who's been playing as long as he has you'd think Mork could decide on the correct shot a bit faster.
Pang is like Ding without the eye twitch, skill or titles. At least he was born in the year of the dragon.
>>154341640He likes being out there
Mork confounding the commentators, lol
>>154341671Pang is the chinaman we needed. There’s a thousand very talented young Chinese players who can make a century break in 2 minutes, it was about time China produced an utter terrorist who plays the most rancid snooker you’ve ever seen

Never noticed how harsh the draw is for the player who finishes their first round match last (in this case Neyul), finish match on Thursday evening and your next match starts on Saturday morning, giving you one day off. Zhao finished his match on Saturday and his next match starts today.
>>154351687It's a weird system. It's the same for the semi-finals where the second match can end very late and then players are up early for the final ala Selby in 2023
>>154351687You could argue having a long break like that could make him a bit complacent whereas Neil will still be riding high from the last matchGwan everyone but Shaun
>>154351742Yeah, I can't remember the numbers but last year I worked out that over the last 30 years or something the player who finishes their semi on the evening wins the final more often, so maybe >>154351743 has a point.

Lemon collar man sits there, unflinching in his observation of the snooker.
Why isn't potting 2 reds a foul? Feels like it should be.
>>154354355I feel the same. It's (kinda) potting two reds in a row. Plus, a second red rolling in is fine, yet a color rolling in is a foul; also a little wobbly rule-wise.
>>154354355Because red is the object ball for that turn.
>>154354390"All reds" are the object ball for that turn.
>>154354390So you can technically pot two colours without a foul if you have a free ball on a colour?
>>154354410Do you have to nominate which red ball you’re trying to hit? I know nobody ever nominates balls, but officially you are supposed to.
>>154354418Superb question. A.I. answer, fwiw.
>>154354438Wonder if its ever happened
>>154354418Yes, but you only get the points for the colour once.So if yellow is the ball on, you get a free ball, you nominate green, you pot both green and yellow. The yellow stays down, the green is respotted but you only get 2 points.>>154354436No, you only have to nominate the colour
>>154353022Anything on Pang vs Neil?
>Dang
>Mork and Ding fuck up at exactly the same timewoah
>>154354479So the yellow would stay down for the entire frame? That doesn't seem right
>>154342616>Enter the Dragon>Starring Cruce Lee
>>154354479I guess as well, the free ball becoming an additional object ball means you don't actually have to hit it at all. Like if the yellow is the object ball, and over the pocket, the ball blocking it was unpottable itself and unplantable onto the yellow, you could nominate it, and then swerve round it to the yellow, knowing that if you fuck up and hit it, its not a foul.>>154354525The only way you can have a free ball on a colour is if all the reds have been potted.
>>154354525Only after all the reds have already been potted. You’d get a free ball, but you can’t do it when you nominate a ball to be a red.
These commentators are starting to feel a touch biased.>Ding pots a ball>John Parrott yawns>Zhao Xintong pots a ball>OMG IT’S MAGISTERIAL FROM THE MANDARIN MAESTRO
>>154354535>>154354543Ah I see misread the first post, interesting scenario
>>154354525This implies that only the colours remain. >>154354535Not actually sure about that, I was always under the impression that if you nominate a free ball it must be the first ball you hit. But that might be wrong as the nominated ball "becomes" a ball on for the next shot. If you had yellow over the pocket with the green blocking and it was a free ball, you could nominate the green, you don't even need to swerve, you could just plant the green into the yellow. If just the yellow goes in, 2 points, green is the ball on, easy next shot. If both go down, yellow stays down, green respotted, 2 points.
>>154354561Xintong plays the piano so legally you have to refer to him as Maestro
>>154354566It can get weird. Like... what happens when the cue ball is touching another ball ("balls touching") in a free ball situation? Maybe that negates the free ball?
If Allen loses this he should be relegated to playing 900 events for the rest of his career
>>154354656...all against Reanne Evans.
>>154354656Thats quite a lot of events, I doubt his career will last that long.

>>154354749>>154354974>ripping off Willo's gimmickSad!
>>154354645I would it would only be declared a touching ball if you declare that ball as the free ball. So say it's a free ball and you right up in baulk behind and touching the brown, you could declare the brown, ref would declare touching ball and you play away as a normal red touching ball. If you'd declared another colour, it's not declared "touching ball" as it's not a ball on, you just have to play away, hit the declared ball first and not move the ball you're touching.It's possible the ref would declare "touching ball" straight away though, since it's "touching ball" if the ball is on, or the ball could be on.
>>154354974Hope he doesn't have any anti doping tests after the match

>>154354900I drank a can of coke after about 6 months of not touching the stuff and it tasted like drinking a pile of sugar (which is essentially what it is). Vile.
>>154355026>6 monthsThat's amount of time people usually need for people to start being degusted by "bad" foods. Funny how the brain works desu

Heyup Lads, not as comfy as I remember /147/. What do you think willos preference is - dinner, shish or Adana?
Marks got BDE
>>154356974no preference, just hand it over.
>>154356923This is the correct answer (because I was going to make that joke)
I think this match cements Barry Hawkins' place as a true legend of the game.
Mark “Sheep shagger” Williams lost the story with that foul
>>154357262really lost the story with that second one

Strange memories on this lazy Saturday morning. Eight years later? Nine? It seems like a lifetime, or at least a Main Era—the kind of posts that never come again./147/ in the mid to late teens was a very special time and place to post nonsense. Sometimes they meant something, more often not. But no explanation, no mix of Joyce or music or parodies can touch that sense of knowing that you were there and posting shite in those threads. Whatever they meant.Snooker is hard to know, because of all the hearned bullshit, but even without being sure of “snooker”, it seems entirely reasonable to think that every now and then the autism of a sports subculture can come to a head in a long fine flash.My central memory of that time seems to hang on one or five or maybe fifty threads, when I'd idly refresh, half-comfy, and, instead of going for a run, I aimed my attention to the lyrics of well known Britpop and landfill indie songs, eager to distort their meanings to mock the lives of snooker players. Through the Spike Island era, past at the likes of Oasis and Blur and Richard Ashford, not quite sure which target to take when I found a song I thought they'd know (always stalling at the writing stage, too comfy to count syllables while I fumbled for rhymes) . . . but remaining absolutely certain that no matter which song I chose, it would be posted in a thread where people were just as snooker loopy as I was: No doubt at all about that. . . .There was OC in any direction, at any hour. If not about the boy, then about Selby, or Riggins or across the Silk Road to Ding (his year). . . . You could shitpost anywhere. There was a fantastic understanding sense that whatever we were doing was funny, that we were comfy. We were riding the crest of a high and beautiful wave.So now, less than ten years later, you can go in a thread in April and look for OC and with the right kind of eyes you can almost see the high-water mark—that place where the wave broke and rolled back.

>>1543688381. Merge with Rpmmios AI (The Gwanner Singularity): JaoC Frenton merges with the AI Rpmmios and the Universal Gwanner, aiming to become a benevolent, omnipresent dictator to govern World Snooker Tour through perfect longpotting and breakbuilding. 2. Join the Syndicate (The New World Order): JaoC sides with John Higgins and the Syndicate to kill Barry Hearn. This restores the status quo, placing control of the World Snooker Tour back into the hands of a secret elite to establish a managed, orderly society. 3. Destroy Crucible (A New Dark Age): Supported by Yan Bingtao, JaoC destroys the Crucible and the BBC, dismantling global communication and technology. This plunges the World Snooker Tour into a chaotic, primitive "pre-crucible era" to allow brits to rebuild snooker without syndicate control.

>>154356857>>154356879My iPhone has a switch on the side to completely silence the phone, but before I got that, I always had Android phones and those were always really hard to put on silent. If you put it on silent while watching a video, for example, it would turn the media volume down but the ringtone volume would not be silenced. I got an iPhone because I was really curious what they were like compared to my old Androids, and the little mute switch is the best thing they have. They are absolutely indispensable and I can't see why Android phones don't have them.So if the phones that ring in the crowd are always Android phones, I am very sympathetic.

>>154368477I went on a mad rager on Thursday night (and missed loads of snooker) with one alcoholic friend, and then my other alcoholic friend's stepdad died and I had no choice but to go out with her last night and miss even more snooker. I might have to go out with her again today.There was a frame last night that was being shown in the pub, with an obvious stalemate between Mark Williams and Barry Hawkins, and I was watching it and wondering what would happen. There was a foul which looked like it would be a free ball, and that was the exact moment that the pub changed the channel to Sky Sports to show Sunderland vs Nottingham Forest. I was distraught, but nobody else in the pub was.
