any good anime?
Anime.This is me when Shorn loses and we're left with only human players, so it's obviously /sp/ related.
>>154428551>Mark Allen vs Barry Hawkins (continuation)>Zhao Xintong vs Shaun Murphy (continuation)Both are final sessions
free stream without commentators: betfair
>>154428601Is it a tiny window or have they changed it?
>>154428575none of the ycp are humans
Morning lads, how are we? I just really want a Hawk/Robbo final. That's all I want, it would be so nice, I would be so happy if I got a Hawk/Robbo final and a nice beer (blue moon) to watch it with.
>>154428679that would be too good, so no way it happens.
Ebdon: SPOTTED
lel
not many (or any) ycp here
>>154428667At 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.
the blorkening has begun

Is Allen stoned?Also holy fuck, captcha gets more cancer each time I visit this website.
Anyone know if Barry is short for anything? Or is he just Barry Hawkins? I quite like Bartholomew Hawkins III
>>154428901Short for Bazzaaaaaa!! Wassup!

>>154429063I don't get it.
Mork is trying to out Blork the Blork
>>154429101Theres a guy called Alan Titchmarsh on bbc who does gardening shows. Since Barry picked out a couple of plants that frame Lee thought it would be hilarious to compare the two.
Beaut of a fluke
>>154429112cracking quip, that
>>154429112That's kind of funny, but these hyperspecific local references are very culturally insensitive in a global sport. Surely he could have found a Marvel character to compare him with.
>>154429142This. Literally racism.
>>154429142Barry "Groot" Hawkins
>>154429142It's a beeb broadcast?
>38% long pot success rate >win ten frames
>>154429158Ha, I get it. I finished Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy last year. It was painfully 7/10, by the way. I imagine it's still at least a bit better than cape films though.

John Higgins has never fixed a frame or match
>>154429763Assume she moved on to someone who blorks less
>>154429763I think she's married and has kids and leads a basically normal life. She's just really obsessed with Barry Hawkins. I remember it was really easy to doxx her if you want to find out her details; I can't remember them now and that's lucky because you never know who's mental on 4chan, but if you want to try it yourself I am confident you can do it.
>>154429763She was still at it, as of early last year.
>>154429787...without an appropriate compensation.
>>154429328

>>154429787John Higgins is the best player of all time if the syndicate need him to win a specific frame

>>154429867>>154428964the Duality of Blork
>>154429856The Selby/Yeezy match part 2
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?
>>154429895Blork v Mork wasn't exactly exhilarating either, but the final frame saved it. Maybe something funny will happen in Rob v Rig later too.>>154429913Like 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.
>>154429913They 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"
>>154429943>Blork v Mork wasn't exactly exhilarating either, >a lot of big breaks>good tactical play (for the most part)>three consecutive centuries last night
I'm a lifelong Blorkchad in need of some serious cheering up after that crushing defeat. Can anyone help?
>>154429895For 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.
>>154429958Mork matches are boring even when they're good on paper
>>154429958But... it wasn't fun.>>154429963>Can anyone help?Yes. Zhao can cheer you up with one simple trick.
>>154429963>>>/an/5115625>>>/an/5109266>>>/an/5092197
>>154429947The last session will have two concluding matches thoughbeit.Having one match ending in every session makes perfect sense, I'd much rather watch the end than the beginning.
>>154429968well put
In the mornin' you go gunnin'For the man who stole your water
>>154430049If they'd had Wew water, it would have provided the match with sufficient meme strength for Barry to win ;_;
I will now be returned to my mews. Maybe I will win next year. I eat primarily small rodents.

>>154429967Kek, 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.

Alright, no point wasting our gwan energy on Zhou any more. Who has a better chance against Shorn: John or Neil?
are players allowed to use noise-cancelling in-ears at the table?
>>154430592strange that he would sign his own gnelf-flutes
>>154430592It’s impressive to see how big a set of pan pipes looks next to a gnelf.
We are all Shorn
>>154430621Robbo has a better record against him
>>154430621>ZhouYou silly billy! Zhou Yuelong lost to Xiao Guodong in the first round. Xiao Guodong was then knocked out by Shaun Murphy, who is currently playing Zhao Xintong. Imagine not being able to tell those three names apart!

a seemly man
>>154430642GWAN NEIL>>154430657I actually have no problem in remembering their names. For some reason my hands automatically type Zhou when I think about Zhao. It may be because "Zhou" has a better flow when you type it on a keyboard. H, O and U are all on the right side.

>>154430127>>154430977morph is not English
>>154431000Why do you think so?He is entertaining, humorous, charming, polite.
No shame in losing to Murphy playing like that. How many frames has he won at first visit?
>>154430870We haven't done this in a while.>>154431000And we'll have to look at him in another 8 sessions.
>>154430552Agree, he wont shut up. He's worse next to Hendry or Lee walker as they naturally are a bit quieter.
>>154431000>He's so unlikeable ladsI love Murph. He's an old school gentleman, something the world sadly misses. You must be one of those "woke" types, eh? Dye yer hair blue?
>>154431021Why's that?
O my God! Magic!

We've defeated the Chinese menace but at what cost?
Wu is keeping the hopes amd dreams of the YCPs alive
>>154431075Wu doesn't look so defeated although.
It's Allel v Shorn final isnt it, ffs lads
It's a kind of Magic.
>>154431028He 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.
>HAVE YOU DOUBTED THE SHOON
Can you hear me Wu YizuIs that really just a shadow Of the quiff you once grew
SHOWBOATING
Loool Murphy giving it some because of how it ended yesterday

>>154431111nice quadz
>>154431124He rarely is.
>>154431105> a number of offscreen controversiesSorry, I don't closely followed those. I'm more interested in snooker than politics.
>>154431028lol wtf the dude shat on si jiahui for no reason, voted against hunter having his ranking frozen sore loser definitely
>>154431099That’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.
>>154431032
*slow claps*
>>154431143Didnt he cheat on his wife at Christian Camp with a prostitute that he said he didnt pay for (implying he has top lvl charisma and speech) ?
>>154431147>no reasonHe was LITERALLY stealing food (specifically: a chocolate orange) off Shaun's plate
>>154431143If 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.
>>154431139if jpellz isn't reffing in the worlds next year, i'll go to the cruce and make a scene
>>154431147>shat on si jiahui for no reasonDisagree. 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.
>>154431172Not a sin if the contract is never finalised, checkmate godtheists.
>>154431172In 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.
>>154431147These 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.
and Leafs have no place in Snooker threads (unless it's Cliff)
>>154431147 <--- nice maximum get
>>154431178>he’s so desperate to be likedmaybe he's lonely?
Have their been any maximums yet this tournament?
>>154431239in the qualis
>>154431239no
>>154431172He’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.
>>154431232It's because he was bullied as a lad
Just tuning in Tong continued his shitty play from yesterday or just Shaun upping his game?
>>154431246LEAVE shorn ALONE
>>154431239Chang Bingyu made a 147 in the 3rd round of qualifying
>>154431147He 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.https://metro.co.uk/2023/04/19/shaun-murphy-recalls-dark-time-that-led-to-si-jiahui-comments-i-was-hating-myself-18635892/
>>154431258He's still looked quite rough
>>154431246Sure but he's a consumate professional and global ambassador of the game
>>154431232He 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 can envisage a world in which Zhao wins the next 3 frames in a row. Can you?
>>154431278A lot of Dim Sum has passed through that ecosystem.
No, Zhao, I'm not falling for this "hope" meme this time.
>>154431286I could but refuse to.
>>154431286I can, but I don’t want to.
WUUUUU
>>154431281>when he himself won the World Championship as an amateur many years earlier.He was a qualifier and it was his first ranking win, but he was no amateur.
Wu has turned on the turbo, nice.
>>154431286I can't because I refuse to differentiate between necessary and contingent truths.
>>154431188lmao why dont they have a place if they literally are ostensively able to beat a professional, thats elitist copewhat are you talking about dudeits been a rumour for years, thats why he never went out and debunked ittop keknobody likes him bbc man
>>154431314Wu is out of control...
>>154431324saul kripke seething rn
>>154431335Meanwhile Zhao is out of the tournament.
>no gwannie>no zesterNo good winners this year
*summoning Austriaboy*
It looks like Murphy smells bad
>>154431286do you know something we don't?
I wonder if not commentating or doing punditry this year has helped Shaun stay more focused.
>>154431345Rightly soWhat I have watched yesterday was absolutely disgusting.He missed pretty much every 2nd ball.
>>154431304I'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.
Imagine being a young fit chinese snooker star and getting mogged by this cheesy blob
>>154431362I was thinking earlier how Zhao looks quite a lot like Liang Wenbo, but I didn’t post it because it was racist.
>>154431367Zhao never really looked comfortable, the whole tournament. It's Zhover now. Le Curse remains undefeated.
>>154431365I really, really hope so.
the curse will never die
>>154431387DELETE THIS NOW EDDIE
>>154431345Wu drains Zhao's powers like Zhao did Ding's.
>>154431054>You must be one of those "woke" types, eh? Dye yer hair blue?boomer "humour"
"Here's to another century of humiliation" cries Murphy as he beats yet another ycp with a break of over 100.
>>154431427I dye my hair blue because i want to be the blue ball
murphy amateurs pic - post it
>yfw no YCP to beat in the semis
can't wait to see 16+ chinese players in the first round of the worlds
>>154431427>boomer "humour"Unsurprisingly dead wrong millenial response.
For me it's the crowd clapping something in the other match, then something clappable happens in the match we're watching and our crowd claps purposefully louder and longer than the other crowd.
>>154431465very good, but for me it's when the crowd applaud the ref doing something silly like climbing on the table or killing a wasp.
>>154431465once they never stopped and a game between Hendry and Stephen Lee had to be abandoned
The Chinese Destroyer

147bros can riggins win 13-11 tonight
Why Shorn of all people... Couldn't it have been Ronald, Jebb or even Luca?
>>154431487Wu/Vafaei on TNT1 has Dominic and Hendon, mate.
>>154431507Because he deserves it.
>>154431499Too easy, he literally just won a match.
>>154431499Probably some form of used feminin hygiene product. Hope that helps.
Who do I root for now Zhou's out? I'm leaning towards Hossein but can be swayed towards Allen.
>>154431515lol
I hate when people say "if you offered me x before we started I'd have bitten your hand off" and it's variations. It's too much of an exaggeration for me. "If you'd have said I'd be a frame ahead after the mid session interval I'd have left me wife and stabbed me first born."
>>154431387really makes you think
>Jo and I have been ploughing through Below Deck.It's well before watershed Shaun and a lot of people are trying to have their tea.
>>154431499N-Dubz. Wait, no, that’s not topical any more. Arthur Scargill’s tie!
>>154431563
>>154431531It’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.
>>154431600Robbo 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.
>>154431642You thnking a Murphy v Wu final?
Wu Yiza snooker mogging the iranian
Only acceptable winner left is Murphy
Does Hossein live in Iran? Has he said anything about the war? I'd imagine he'd have to be publicly pro the government.
>>154431660No Shawn, now go back to your buffet and stop typing.
>wake up>see results
>father speaks decent Engrish>kid does notWu has been only training and playing Snooker and nothing else, hasn't he?
>>154431668>Does Hossein live in Iran?He lives in Sheffield, mate. The visa situation became nightmarish for him.
>>154431668He said he's having some family troubles or something along those lines when Rob Walker was prying after he won on Judgment Day.
>>154431660Reanne stop your hate towards Allen pls.
>>154431655We should be so lucky. It'll be Murphy-Mork
gwan wooo
DAYUMMMDAT POTENTIAL OF THIS KID
>>154431671>>154431703Genuinely mean it>robboPlaying shit>riggins5th is getting too close to Gwannie >the restLiteral whos
>>154431668> Does Hossein live in Iran?Of course not. Would you?> Has he said anything about the war?Only cringy platitudes. What else could he say? I think it's better not to ask him about this to not embarrass him.
>>154431692While you were partying, Wu studied the baize.
>>154431741Nah, I was consuming porn every day and fapping, shitposting and playing vidya.Still dot.NEET
>>154431762While you were consuming porn every day and fapping, shitposting and playing vidya, Wu studied the baize.
>>154431776It's never too late to study the baize.
>the power of morph compels youMurphy partaking in the continuation of a curse is sinful in my christian eyes
Thoughts?
I'm still waiting for the Chinese wunderkind we were promised 20 years ago who's been playing snooker every hour of the day since before he could walk, who never misses a shot or drops a frame.
>>154431820Ding's daughter will be the first woman World Champ (f)
>>154431820China is already working on such drones, mate.
>>154431820Ronnies backs up Wu Yize.All depends on whether he becomes strong mind or succumbs to the typical weak Chinese mentality.
>>154431850that's a foul, she doesn't have her foot on the ground
