Alri,GWAN all the girls
Why does Snucker need a Women's World Championship?
>>154635756because otherwise no women would make enough to play professionally and there would be no qt snooker players.
>>154633393>final boss You're forgetting someone>>154635744Alri
7 of 77 players are not from Asia.The Cruce in 10 years?
>Women's World Championship>pink carpetsSasuga WPBSA. Glad to be so back.

ez win for becca
Anime.This is me being fed by my household gnelves when I don't have time to eat because I'm watching snooker, so it's obviously /sp/ related.
Saw something saying the Beeb are bringing Big Break back with Hendry as JV and Paddy Fucking McGuinness as Davidson.Jesus wept.
>>154636573Only two years into a ten year contract LMAO
Finally a real thread
>during the Men's World Championship men played 31 matches in 17 days>women played 40 matches only todayEmbarrassing.
>>154637597There must be a funny comedian somewhere who likes snooker. I bet Jon Richardson knows all the players. He's not much funnier, but at least his style is "tells jokes" first and "has a Northern accent" second, unlike Paddy McGuinness. It's like TV has a quota how where a certain percentage of programmes need to be presented by the same four comedians.
>>154638988>There must be a funny comedian somewhere who likes snooker.Tim Keybut he isn't a game show host
>>154637597A northern and a Scottish, woke nonsense as usual!
>>154639259Paddy McGuinness is a sign that a TV programme is prole fodder. They can't openly endorse Reform UK on a BBC entertainment show, but the BBC commissioning editors know those people watch TV too and they have to accommodate them. It's like all these drama series where Scousers squawk at each other. It's working-class representation, and the fact they always sound like the Jeremy Kyle Show with a bigger budget just proves that nobody at the BBC ever speaks to the cleaners in their building. I live in a rough area of Manchester, and nobody round here has a fraction of the accents that TV's so-called """normal""" people have.Yes, I am seething. Thank you for noticing.
>>154636573they better bring back the riga masters then
>>154639778almost, they'll bring back the China Open in a different city
Poor talentless Norfman :(
>>154639252He and Mark Watson (and Alex Horne, but he doesn't know anything about snooker) hosted We Need Answers which was a game show of a kind.
>>154639917Mark Watson would be good, he already does snooker related stuff.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KfJGWkIOJh8
>>154632634>Starry Lap Yin Chan! (af)she was just Starry Yin Chan before I got to her.
>>154637597i can see Ding as potentially the modern Virgo, especially now as the younger Chinese lads have taken the pressure off him. he can let his personality come out for Saturday night shenanigansimagine the bantz with him dressing up as Chinese Santa for the Christmas episode, or Chinese easter bunny for easter etc. someone says something daft and he does the eye quiver.
Table 1https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KGMvsM-Q7UIMink is up after the current match, followed by Ng, Reanne and finally KennaTable 2https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O3eLhmnD77kIreland's brave Ella O'Connor is playing nowYulu scheduled to play in about 4 hours
>14 players playing right now>1 of them from the UKGWAN THE GIRLS
Now, it's 16. And still 1.>Starry ChanIs there a player with a cuter name than are girl Starry-chan?>>154646007Are you still up or already up?
>>154646288>Are you still up or already up?Still up because I'm an idiot, going to bed now.
>>154646341Rest in peace.
Are any of you following pro 9/10 ball?The Predator events are actually enjoyable to watch, even the women's ones
>>154635913there are some qt pool players too, like Seo SeoaThese days, they're almost as good as the men's players except their break is less consistent, so they're not quite good enough to compete against men
>won 2/2gwan Katrina!
... home (again) (soon).
I was happy when my visit to the dentist was postponed from the WC week, but I didn't take into account the fact that the day it was postponed to would arrive sooner or later.That day is today.>>154649475>Katrina Wan, oneSounds nice.Are girls the Mink Sisters, Bai and Ng haven't lost a match yet either.
9-year-old Wan Hei Chen from Hong Kong playing in her first event. She won her first frame yesterday!
>>154650022Is a nine-year-old being good at snooker a sign of too much helicopter parenting, or not enough?
>>154650022Future goat.Looks funny how such a small kid is telling the middle-aged ref that he didn't respot the kubol properly.
