At least they're good at snooker, so they don't need to convince themselves that whole groups of people are somehow worse than them just because they're different, in order to be able to pretend that they are at least better than someone and feel a little bit less pathetic.

He was too greedy. Should have hit harder, so that the cue ball would end up further away from the pink, but below and to the right of it.

I think she's married and has kids and leads a basically normal life. She's just really obsessed with Barry Hawkins.

Robertson Riggins might be the most boring match of snooker I’ve seen in years. Worst match of the tournament so far.

Why didn't they have Yize vs Hoss and Higgins vs Robertson in the morning session and Murphy vs Zintong and Allen vs The Hawk in the afternoon session?

Cos now Yize and Hoss have to play two back to back sessions?
>>
>>154429895
Blork v Mork wasn't exactly exhilarating either, but the final frame saved it. Maybe something funny will happen in Rob v Rig later too.

>>154429913
Like someone already said, probably because they wanted at least one match to end in each session. I don't see the reason for this, but it sounds plausible because people at WST are retarded.
>>
>>154429913
They claim "so there's a match concluding in each session' but what really mean is" having two concluding sessions simultaneously has the potential to fuck us over with refunds if both matches finish before then and there's no snooker on either table"

I'm a lifelong Blorkchad in need of some serious cheering up after that crushing defeat. Can anyone help?
>>
>>154429895
For some reason, as players, I never feel an urge to watch either of them. It's like every player has a story of some sort except those two. Selby tortures his opponents then smashes in a century in three minutes at some random time. Judd is trying to cement his place in the history books. Mark Allen is trying really hard to be a great player. Ding is polite and nice and just wants to do well so he can be happy. You feel like you know these players. Neil Robertson and John Higgins probably have more personality in interviews than any of those, but when they're playing, they're just...playing. They're going through the motions because that's what you do. There's no narrative, whether they win or lose.

Kek, I often feel the same way with some of the players. There's lots of Brits who are just filler characters amongst the absolute giants. It's a bit like in darts.

I'm glad the World Championship is feeling more worldly nowadays. Though the forrinz only seem to have a flag going for them, most are a bit dry. I mean, I can't tell generic chink #1 apart from generic chink #8, I wish they'd fucking stand out.

He has a number of offscreen controversies. I like him myself sometimes, definitely far more than most of /147/, but he regularly feels to me like a fraudulent tryhard. I am delighted he’s beating Zhao at the moment, but his criticism of amateur players a few years ago really enraged me.

That’s probably the final I most want to see, to be honest. A Murphy-Higgins semifinal would be good, and then I’m not sure how I’d want that to go because they’re both players I like sometimes and hate at other times.

If you only watch him play, he’s great. But as a person, he’s so desperate to be liked that it’s a bit unsettling. He’s probably the only player ever to do punditry on TV, and also do commentary, and then also actually play in the tournament as well.

Disagree. Amateurs (as Si was back then) have no businsees playing in men's professional events. Neither do women.
>voted against hunter having his ranking frozen
Internet rumour. You have no evidence of this. Besides, the ranking should not have been frozen. Sentimentality sucks and has no place in sports.

Not a sin if the contract is never finalised, checkmate godtheists.

In fairness this is so fucking funny so he gets a pass. To me he's just so bullyable. I'm glad he's beating Zhao though. Now I just need Yize out.

These are the two reasons I despise Murphy. I can take or leave his wild claims about darts and golf and whatever else and his "love-me" personality, but they really grind my gears.

>>154431172
He’s so hated by so many people that I think some of the rumours about him aren’t true. I can believe he became a born-again Christian, went to some Bible camp, then cheated on his wife with a prostitute, because that does feel quite likely and the women have spoken about it themselves, I think. But the Paul Hunter thing is something I avoided mentioning because it was a secret vote so nobody knows how anyone voted, and also a lot of players voted not to freeze the ranking points so it’s crazy to single out Shaun Murphy even if he did vote against the freeze, which he definitely did.
>>

He apologized with style and deserves forgiveness:
> ‘Wasn’t it always going to happen, and when you say something as stupid as I said, when you make comments so ignorant and stupid, then don’t you deserve it?’ Murphy told Metro.co.uk. ‘I’m taking it on the chin and we’ll shake hands and go at it on Wednesday.

>>
>>154431232
He definitely is. He has been very open that he was bullied a lot as a child. It’s a sad story. Rob Walker has that “bullied child” vibe as well; he never passes up an opportunity to beg people to like him. But Rob Walker never says amateurs have an unfair advantage against professional players, immediately after losing to an amateur player, when he himself won the World Championship as an amateur many years earlier.

I wonder if not commentating or doing punditry this year has helped Shaun stay more focused.

Rightly so

What I have watched yesterday was absolutely disgusting.
He missed pretty much every 2nd ball.
>>
>>154431304
I'd play in a sealed chamber with exactly 5 minutes 20 seconds of air on the clock each pot increases that by 10 seconds every miss decreases it by 20 seconds. You have to win the frame before air runs out or you will suffocate.

Problem is the pressure in the crucible is higher than this, but its the best we can do.

It’s up to you, but I recommend Mark Allen because he’s never won it before but he deserves to win it. After that, a meme player like Hossein Vafaei would be good, but too much of a meme would cheapen the tournament, especially after the other recent winners we’ve had. John Higgins winning in his 50s would be based. I think I would actually be happy with anyone who’s still left in it winning the whole thing.
>>

Robbo would be a bit disappointing imo, I don't think he's shown the standard of play so far that would make me root for him. But I don't think he'd be able to get past Murphy anyway.
