Predictions on Zhao vs Ding?
>Hallworth/Perry combo on these hallowed dayswhy
>>154369894I hope Zhao wins, Ding doesn't have bottle to overcome the chinese slayer in the next round
>>154369916Stuart Bingham tried commentary yesterday. He has good insights but an atrocious voice.
Love the snooks.
Gnelf has been subbed in for morph

With the death of John Virgo and the contract dispute with Shaun Murphy, this is really a pivotal time for the future of snooker coverage. There are dozens of random players showing up for punditry and commentary, and we need to find a way to make sure the BBC know which ones we like and which ones we don't like. Otherwise, it's going to be Reanne Evans.
>Mark Allen constantly talking about he feels so much better after "letting go" and "relaxing" and "treating himself", but refusing to go into any further detail about what he didHe strangled a woman, didn't he? This is basically American Psycho with Mark Allen. As soon as his form dips, he will have to kill again before the next session begins.
>>154370060>contract dispute with Shaun MurphyWhat happened?
>>154370060I like Joe Perry.
>>154370060>know which ones we likeluv me cosmonaut
>>154370107He's not doing commentary any more because he decided the money wasn't good enough, or something like that.
>>154370015>Chigwellfunny name makes me laugh
>>154370155Greedy Morphy. He only has to work few hours every other day.
>>15436989413-10 Zhao. He gets stronger as matches go on, he'll be like 10-9 down and then go on a tear.
>>154370155Well don't keep us waiting, what conditions does Murphy have?
>>154370207Lifetime supply of caramel creme eggs
>>154370207I'm afraid I closed the tab so we'll never know.
Actually, I searched for the same terms and got the same questions, so that answers that question.Hazel Irvine got married in 2008, but there is no mention of her no longer being married.
>>154370257morph is built for BBC
>>154370257>>154370229thanks lads, I didn't even know he was a doctor!
And that fictional "Dr Shaun Murphy" turns out to be that guy from the meme!
How many will seethe if Shawn pighead Murphy will become World Champ again? :-DD
Gnelf in the studio
We all joke about betting syndicates and Chinese triads, but snooker results are actually being rigged by Martin Garrix because he gets royalties every time we hear Judd's walkout music.
Tell us the viewing figures in China ffs
>>154370090>Paul Allen
Where is the Ding-Tong stream?
>>154370357They like to say it's 100 million people quite often. But it would take weeks to count that high so we probably won't know for a while. Yes, this is how ratings work.
>>154370446it's on BBC One
>it's a Judd's opponent hands him every frame on a silver platter episode
GWAN DIRECTOR DING THE MERCILESS POT NOODLE
>>154369894CCP harvests the loser's organs
Which player with one world championship do you think will be first to get another? For me it's got to be Trump.
>>154370603Graeme Dott
>it's another Trump vs Iran episode
Pleased how few trump v Iran memes are being poster. Stay comfy lads
Hossman defending this 23 point lead like his life depends on it. The state of this table lel.
now this is propah snooks
The Chinese will be pleased to see Trump exhaust himself against the Iranian.
>>154370795
seems like jumperman has a different shirt/jumper combination for every day of the week
dink stayin stronk
>>154368307happy now?
>>154370603Robbo, obviously.
Judd needs to realize pink to middle means death
>>154370872If you're called jumperman thats the bare minimum you should expect
>big lossman
If you're at the crucible is it possible to switch seats with someone watching the other match? If you're a big Ding fan with Trump tickets could you switch with a Trump fan with Ding tickets?
Trump's trying to win while it seems the Iranian is just trying not to lose.
>>154370603Everyone’s saying Zhao Xintong but I think Murphy is looking like winning it this year. I do think this year’s title will be won by one of the players who are going for a second win.
>>154370872I think it’s always the same jumper but he changes the shirt. The jumper might actually be part of his body and he just wears those fake detachable collars to hide it.
>>154370872realjumpermanchads know it's usually a blue jumper with yellow collar
>>154371337>falling for the Morph meme of playing well early on then completely capitulating against better players in the later roundsI shiggy diggy
Unlucky lads its the fa cup semi final now
A visual representation of Ding's hopes fading away
>>154371565Coverage starts at 16:45 and kickoff is at 17:15. There’s time for a couple more frames yet.
>>154371118I was there the other day and moved into a different empty seat for a better view of both tables, so there's probably no reason you CAN'T swap with someone. The staff aren't exactly checking tickets and ushering you to your assigned seat. That said, I don't know how I'd find a specific person to swap with without it being incredibly awkward.
Fuck! It’s the fucking news!
>>154371118>>154371758I’m pretty sure that when one match ends and the other table is still playing, and the central divider gets lifted up, loads of people on the opposite side move round to watch the match that’s still going on. So you can certainly move then.
>Saudi Fraudsters cancelledRIP the 4th major
>>154372124I can’t believe Hossein Vafaei would do this to the Strait of Hormuz.
>>154372124hahahahahahahahahhaha get fucked saudis
>>154372124>no more funny money polluting the rankings absolutely magnificent, seems permanent as well.
dingbros... it was supposed to be our year
>>154372621not if Ding can help it
What is Judd doin mannn
>>154370060> Otherwise, it's going to be Reanne Evans.Oh no! What a nightmare! We could find some Chinese with more insight and more comprehensible English.
I don't think I've seen anyone play a plant into the middle pocket before.
>>154370113Who doesn't?
