First for Neil World Champion
Anime.This is me when Team ABS inevitably wins, so it's obviously /sp/ related.
>"I would prefer to play John so I don't have to contend with the chalk that Ronnie uses, which should be banned from the game," Robertson told BBC Four.>"I don't know how you are allowed to even use it."
>>154414262>dentalcentreturkeyand why would a turkey go to the dentist?
>>154414280That was my theory. He uses it to fuck up his opponents.
>>154414284Probably. Ronnie can contend with kicks and a messy table a lot more than most of the players, given his experience and natural ability.

Anyone else feel like the Worlds has got a really weird vibe over the last few years?Stuff like Brecel winning and the Kyren/Jak Jones final.It's almost like the Crucible is *too* special to the point it actually gets in the way of the cuesport happening.
>>154414287Exactly. He doesn't mind completing the puzzle, where's most struggle to get a rhythm going if the table is messy.
>>154414280weren't there bunch of kicks on taom-only tables too?
>>154414288You never miss. get it in the songbook asap.
>>154414288
>>154414296the kyren/jones year was entirely up to the tables being mental.
>pots when possible>safety when riskyZhao's decision making is too good. He's probably only half Chinese.
Lmao that red couldn't have stopped in a worse position
>>154414296The kyren/jones Final was defo a low point. Brecel just had a bit of Bingham year. Thankfully most of the seeds got through this year so I think we are on track for a good un
>>154414299nodelete thist. mr. taom
I think this Worlds has almost matched the amount of century breaks made in 24', it had like 60 or something.
Zhao and Wu have the lowest odds of winning.
>>154414336kek.
GWAN SHORN (but not too much, I'm still hoping for Zhao/Higgins redux)
>>154414280Neil is right, they basically allow Ronnie to cheat. A player can ask the ref to clean parts of a table. Thus, I'd ask the ref to clean every bit of chalk dust off the baize between EVERY shot, slowing frames down to about 2-hours per, until everyone was sick and tired of the slow pace. This is how you push to get rid of that awful chalk.
>>154414378Ronnie should just do that in between his own shots
>>154414288lel
Tong is playing well.Looking good, not so much for Morphy
Well: he does
Allen once again looks sleep deprived
>>154414520No one sleeps when the Hawk is around
>>154414520He looks 12 years older than Steve Davis

Oh dear. I knew having 4 likeable players in the semis was too much to ask.

>shorn giving it the biggun after some of the most laughable misses you will ever see
>>154414988 (Checked)>Fist pump from that performance have some shame manSeriously, though. That was not very attractive snewkuh.
xox
>>154414986Scientific fact!
Remember that album I mentioned a couple of threads ago? Hako's second album Tsunawatari - first CD release (1990), unopened? I just got it for 20PLN (4 pounds, 4.70 euro). It's worth easily 10 times more.I guess there is harmony in the Universe after all.
I placed a bet on Murphy before the match, just in case.
>>154415006>TsunawatariIt's on UseNet.
>>1544149955:3 after 0:3 vs the Wonderchink is quite something. Well deserving of a little fistpump.Will there even be a third session, now that the Magician tasted first chink blood?
>>154415021I have three original copies of Tsunawatari already, but this is the first edition, and unopened to boot. And of course I had them on my PC before starting to buy anything.
>>154415006is CD flipping a good business?
>>154415006You will pay.. in a different way
>>154415039I don't know. I'll die of starvation before selling them.
>>154414283So he can gobble his food XDDD
>>154414296My theory is that because every other tournament throughout the year is much shorter, it's almost a different sport. Winning a best-of-7 versus winning a best-of-25 or best-of-35 is like running a marathon versus running the 110m hurdles. The WST have successfully spammed minor tournaments throughout the season to such an extent now, that we expect the World Championships to be won by the players who win the short tournaments, and that's just not what happens. Usain Bolt wouldn't win the London Marathon either.>>154414288I have never heard this song so I had to look it up.

>>154415183>Caramella GirlsYou have triggered a real explosion of autism here. They're not the "Caramella Girls"; they are Caramell. The original Caramell had the meme song (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6-8E4Nirh9s) but even that had been sped up for the meme. The original sounds like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H2kdPzjbTkwThey have other good songs too. Here are two that I especially like:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gP7TenDuLbg (this version is also sped up, but I prefer it like this)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tt-rfFWHqqI (this one sounds better at its original speed)You might also notice from the album cover that Caramell was never three women. The group had two women and two men. All attempts by the record company to bring them back as a purely fictional band must be rejected and complained about. It's cynical profiteering and nothing more.Sadly, none of their famous songs had videos with the original members, but the original band did shoot some music videos for songs that were less good:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-w81UwZWg2kMeanwhile, this soulless horror from a few years ago has no place in music, nor in society in general:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5a9rBGsZkL8

GWAN THE PLAYERSBUT ESPECIALLY GWAN RIGGWARD AND HOSSINHO
>>154415254I’m a big fan of the Caramella Girls, enough to consider myself a Candy. The Caramella Girls today stand as a stand alone band in their own right, despite their origins. Their album Mum’s Mum’s, along with their stand alone covers of Melody and Ooh Ah by Gina G a few years back we’re fantastic. I’d also point you to their “How Can you Say Goodbye?” Which quite frankly deserved to chart in its own right. Shuffleosophy and Cheerleaders deserve a mention too but I can’t find a way to fit them in the paragraph. They’re more than a meme band.Off topic so will leave it there.
>>154415283I had a friend who was really into Shrek memes and loved partying and playing that song to everyone. He died a couple of years ago, and at his hugely well-attended funeral, the last bit where the coffin is rolled away for cremation had that song playing.
What would be the most evenly-matched final? I think John Higgins vs Mark Allen would be impossible to predict.
Nice cannon Higgy
Theres an idiot who's phone goes off during a frame. Mate its not hard to put your phone on silent. Hossy should've potted that green if it wasn't for that phone going off
>>154415296Lmao, went as he lived, good lad. Nothing but respect.
>>154415310probably robertson vs hawkins but not happening, basically only difference is in hawkins nerves
HOSSY HOSSY HOSSY
>>154415310I agree. The granite on display there would be mindmelting.
I hate that red patch of the advertising board you can see on the main camera angle, it's very distracting
>>154415323>Theres an idiot who's phone goes off during a frame.Every frame. Simple solution is immediate ejection. Or catapult.
Higgybear to win this session 6-2
>>154415344I'm always trying to work out what it is. I'm torn between a pepper grinder and a sex toy.
>CANT BREAK A KLOOSTER TO SAVE YO NAN AY M8
>>154415161worst possible outcome
>>154415279The Rigg is truely strong here. Neyul can only hope the Rigger has money on himself to lose.
>there's a lad at work that isn't a massive snooker fan, but is a rabid gwanner>his most hated player is "proven cheat" John Higgins>always going on about how he should have been banned for life>try to explain that he is misinformed but he refuses to listen>he's absolutely seething today that rpmmie lostGood times
Tomorrow is my most hated day of the tourney I dont see why only one quarter final has to play two consecutive sessions. Seriously unfair.
>>154415442Why y’all booing him he’s right
>y'all
If you lose on purpose it's not like you cheated the opponent. You only cheated bettors/bookmakers

>>154415625they get better odds for losing to Neil than ronnie
this year the collar autist guy has looked so frightened and joyless, as if he is under duress to attend the snooker

>>154415667>paint me like one of my French girlfriends
> I've never missed a shot from the commentary box> Not even a chuckle from the crowdTough crowd today Dennis. They probably havent heard that one 100 times before.
If you were, say, 60 points up on your opponent, and they needed three or four snookers, and then you missed and walked out assuming that you’d won…would you then be deemed to have conceded the frame if your opponent returned to the table to play on for snookers?>World Women’s Snooker DayWhoooooooo
A woman still hasnt even hit a 147 in practice, how is that possible
>>154415714Why did Dominic cultivate the image of a ladies man when he looks like an early 90s children entertaining rapist
Why isn't female snooker more popular? Women bending over tables would draw in record numbers of viewers
>>154415729>World Women’s Snooker DayMen have no business playing in womens sports. Women have no business playing in mens sports.
>>154415739Mink has
baized Ladies' day
>>154415753Shit I stand corrected, how can there only be one though. I know 3 or 4 pool pros that have all made 147s and they couldn't even get on the snooker tour or got kicked off after a year.
Hendry being put on the spot and saying "Um yeah, the women players, they're uh... Great."Fucking topkek
>>154415767lel, he got a plug for his podcast in though!
>>154415744Their skill is much less consistent. You know how sometimes a snooker player will make an insane long pot and then miss the subsequent absolute sitter? Women’s snooker is just that, over and over again, all the time. They’re obviously better than any of us, but not by much.
>>154415667It was a different time.
>>154415767They got more ranking points than he did during his "comeback"
>>154415744Depends on the dresscode.
>>154415741It will all have been planned by Barry Hearn, like the picture of Neil Robertson with two women in bikinis who clearly don’t know him. The more important question is why they got Dominic Dale to do it, out of all snooker players, when he’s so camp and lisping and effete. He’s snooker’s equivalent of Charles Hawtrey from the Carry On films.
>>154415767He tries his best.
imagine if two players both rigged the same match unknowingly so they both had to lose
>>154415861Xiao Guodong vs Lu Ning, Championship League. It was a farce. If you were being generous you could maybe say Xiao knew Lu was rigging and wanted to prove a point.Videos in this thread: https://x.com/OOCSnooker/status/1473705290189221896
>>154415685In an administrative mix-up that is hilarious for everyone but him, he’s a US Secret Service agent sent to protect Trump. He doesn’t even like snooker. His bodyguard earpiece means he can’t even listen to the commentary while he’s there.
>>154415829>He’s snooker’s equivalent of Charles Hawtrey from the Carry On films.Nobody under 90-years old could possibly get that.
>>154415895Carry On films are an integral part of the national curriculum in Bongland
>Professor of Rigganomics
>>154415765there are plenty of male players on the tour that haven't got a 147, just way fewer female players overall. I think Bai will get one with how many centuries she makes.

Broken chair, broken spirit.
>>154415881Jesus have either of them been done for rigging? At least John knows how make it seem realistic.
>>154415924>>154415931Thank you very much.
>>154416095Lu Ning is banned, Xiao Guodong is still playing. The players that got banned were the tip of iceberg as far as Chinese players rigging goes, it seems to have scared them straight these days though.
>>154416075lol this match gotta be rigged man
They've all turned into jobbers, looks like yesterday is the best we are going to get this year lads
*cough* *cough* *splutter*
>>154416181Final is usually the worst match, but semis can be fun (like The Semifinal from 2020).
which semi will be the best?Neil vs ShornHoss vs Barry
Neyul still assmogs the rest
>>154416315I think the match between the two former winners will be a bit one-sided, because I expect Shaun Murphy to continue to simply eat the smaller players. The match between the two who haven’t won will be much more passionate and gritty and hard-fought, so that will be better even if they’re both terrible.

Were they pulled off one frame early? This is embarrassing.
Fucking cripples need to fuck off and die somewhere else.
Bunch of prima donners init, trying to kick out a raspberry ripple over the worlds quietest beep
Fucking imagine if one of the players had said, "No, I want it switched off please."

why can't they use the magnets for this?
>>154416631Yeah, Coventry Brian has said previously that the seats are too expensive now for him to go to every session like he used to. I'm not sure how jumper man gets his seat for every session, he surely doesn't get it via the usual method on the Sunday morning when the tickets are released, he must have an understanding with WST (or the syndicate)
The cripple and these foids have made this session decidely not comfy.

soon Rob Walker will barge in during the safety battle and starts hyping the crowd up
Popular :3>>154416459>All jokes asideOfficially, not rigged at all. I would be surprised if actual match outcomes were rigged in one of the only snooker tournaments all year that anyone watches, but there's probably the odd thrown frame in the smaller tournaments. For one thing, you get better odds and therefore can make more money off the smaller tournaments. More viewers means more bets, which means worse odds. But it happens regularly that players get caught for match-fixing, and there's no way they catch everyone, so there must be a certain degree of subtle rigging.>>154416512Top lel

Hello, my name is Barry Hawkins. I am named as such because I am a hawk. After the World Championship, I will be returned to Howletts Wildlife Sanctuary.
>>154417280Mark Allen is a player, mate. He has to be there.
Is Barry Hawkins black?
table one is the rigger table and table two is the real nigga table
>>154417291>So you came back to die with your city
>>154417318I can only tell you that once I got a t-shirt with Barry's picture and was fined for cultural appropriation.
>>154417318technically he is bi-species
Can anyone find a bird of prey sanctuary that lets you name a bird if you sponsor it? Because I promise to do this if Blorky wins the world championship (I'm not the memmo anon)
>>154417318his full name is Barack DeShaqwian Hawkins
>>154417354It's worth doing either way
Three reds Zhao? Three? That's insane.
3's plenty
oh baby a triple
The Triads have called in. Activate the magnets
>>154417354If Barry wins I will buy a hawk, name it after him and raise him like my own son. I will post yearly updates in /147/
>>154417352Well Mr Rob did say he's 'eagle eyed' but also a 'hawk' so I suppose you are right.
>>154417306> Hello, my name is Barry HawkinsThe snooker pro? You have nothing better to do right now than post in anonymous forums? Aren't you supposed to play Mark Allen in this very moment?
if blorky escapes this session unblorked ill be flablorkgasted

Is Barry Hawkins the only triple crown loser? By that I mean losing finalist in all three without ever winning one.
how many triple crown finals have you made mate

Hazel still looks good, how does she do it

what is the crucible curse again?that the defending champion cant defend his title or specifically that they get beaten in the first round?
>>154420679beyond expectations
>>154420736> that the defending champion cant defend his titleHis first (!) world title, yes.
>>154420736the latter which is a rather unfair standard when you examine the data. In the crucible era, only 3 players have ever gone back to back, and they are the cream of the game. Hendry, Davis, and O'sullivan all went back to back, but Ronnie only pulled it off with his 5th title, while Hendry and Davis did their third. So while yes, no first time winner has ever won back to back, neither has the likes of John Higgins, Mark Selby, or Mark Williams.
>>154420761He won against Vafaei?
>>154420761>>154420820I meant former, sorry I came home with lipstick on the collar and Mrs Den hit me over the head with a rolling pin. These things happen.

Do you think snooker players refrain from sexual activity to improve their focus during the championship like boxers or do they just never have intercourse?
>>154421373I like Barry. He looks like Jon Cryer. Good head on his shoulders.
>>154421524They only want to put their pink in one type of picket during the championship.
