the fuck is it duplicated lmao
Anime.This is the reaction of average /147/ enjoyers when someone proposes that we should make a new thread, so it's obviously /sp/ related.
>>157153433>Poland here within five minutes of thread being postedBaized.
Some screenshots I took when we were gone.>>157153439It took me 3 minutes to find a gif and check in the archive whether I've already used it THOUGH.
>>157153412>Luca Brecel can't qualify for anythingSpeaking of, another picture I took. Since then he got rekt by Pang and my brother Antoni in two other qualifiers.
This is my favourite one. No, I don't know who's the person on the right either.
>Ding has a lower chance of winning the WC than the Can't Win The WC Man himself.
>>157153464He'll fall off tour if he keeps this up, his EOS ranking is 65 lol.>>157153473Did you see the Sless/Chang match? That was arguably more mentaloh and my favourite screenshot is some lad practicing with his shirt back to front on the Victoria Academy livestream
>>157153495Took him like five minutes to realize he didn't have it on properly
>>157153482You could be referring to Jimmy or Allel here
From other news, I ordered the new Hako from some retarded store that sells things they don't have. Nearly 3 weeks later, they still didn't send it.So I had to buy another copy from a real store and that copy is already being packed in Buyee's warehouse. Hopefully I'll be listening to it next week.And that other store... I hope they don't think they can stand between me and Hako and leave unpunished.>>157153495>>157153504Lel.>He'll fall off tour if he keeps this up, his EOS ranking is 65 lol.Inshpretzlah.>Did you see the Sless/Chang match?Only a couple of fragments, unfortunately. And it doesn't seem like I took any screenshots.>>157153512Mork is still yoong, he has toime.
>4-4>53-53Now this is what I call a close match.Let's see if Blorko can recover from this.Also, Ding destroyed, obviously.
>>157153531Now this is what i call >waiting
Lei blorked.
and the hawk swept
Alri, finally we are back.What's with the rigged draw in this? Seeds 11-14 play total jobbers whereas seeds 9 and 10 play other seeds.
Here we are. All the lads
>the state of OPGood thing there was literally figuratively and metaphorically no snooks in the last six weeks which would have required a thread.
>no /147/>Nüeßßle bulldozes his way into the English Open>>157153725>/147/ is back>Nüeßßle has to face Koiren in a qualifier and has to fly to China AGAIN to be Boyed AGAINPetitioning to ban /147/ for good, Flo needs all the help to stay on the Main Tour.
>>157153725No point in making a thread when it will just be bumped off the catalog in an hour or two
>>157153659>>157153708alri'. china just wants to show off how promising their teenagers are, that's all. and maybe some money laundering or something.
>>157153725>>157153778I thought about making one, but Lao tried to make a thread twice and failed:https://archive.4plebs.org/sp/thread/155720683/https://archive.4plebs.org/sp/thread/155817902/And I checked the last big thread:https://archive.4plebs.org/sp/thread/154632634/152 out of 439 posts were by me. That's more than 33%. I decided that if I want to talk to myself, I can do it inside my head instead. Plus, no one even managed to bump the thread after my last post, so it was a lost case anyway.
https://archive.4plebs.org/sp/thread/155817902/#155821576Amazing post
>>157153745I've also noticed how many of my gwans have been doing well while the thread has been dead, i'm in favour of the petition.
https://metro.co.uk/2026/07/20/jack-lisowski-luca-brecel-name-top-five-snooker-players-ever-29185364/The fucking state of these two, embarrassing
>>157154029Lisowski may actually be mentally disabled
>>157154029>Brecel: I would actually say Judd, number two. People struggle to put guys like Judd number two because he’s still very young, but it’s obvious that he’s much better than Steve Davis or Hendry or people like that, it’s obvious.still can't win more than one world championship in his peak years btw.
>Trump (orange) tries to win his highly unlikely third title before Trump (boy) gets his secondWill the Boy go all the way in 27 and/or 28?And has he even be at home in Dubai ever since the three day SMO began?
>>157154177dubs confrim it's over
Mark Selby, one.
It's funny how media with different kind of interests and intentions hype up the Chinese taking over Snooker.It took 20 years to see 2 Chinese World Champs, and thanks to Chatgpt, you can immediately get stats you want.Tournament winners:>UK winners: about 72%>Chinese winners: about 14%>Rest of the world: about 14%Pathetic
>>157154835To say the Chinese are "taking over" is an exaggeration but they are gaining momentum as time passes and compared to say a decade ago. I doubt we'll be waiting another 10-20 years for another champion.
>>157154942pic is from three months ago, but still
>>157154835>>157155169Only Xintong, Wu and Chang have the potential to be 10+ title winners imo the rest are at best top 16 fodder for when the older boys retire
>>157154942Momentum comes and goes.There was a time when people were waiting for Ding to become World Champion, and then there were quite a lot of other top 16 CN players (that are now banned due to betting related manipulation).And checking the rankins, there is only 2 top 10 player. And it will stay the same desu in the foreseeable future.
Back to back centuries from Lelby. Nice. Good comeback as well given he looked really rough in the first few frames.
>>157154942>>157155286It depends on how fast the Chinese players can replace the British ones at least, and they'll just end up outnumbering them at some point. Snooker is still popular here but I doubt we can keep supplying top quality players for decades to come.
C I D E R
>>157155169Hope someone informed the person who made that list that they forgot Jegg
>>157155453Jegg hasn't been under 30 for a long time
>Zhou Yuelongpot
Alright lads where's the poverty stream for the Shanghai Masters then
>>157155301Yeah, the "problem" is we're not producing enough not necessarily China producing too many. Arguably, China producing a lot of players going forward means there will still be some quality snooker to watch in the decades to come or we'd be stuck waiting for Pullen etc. to get good..>>157155708www.liveleagues.me/snooker-sports-stream
>>157155507heh good one
>wake up>Selby dead>>157155708>https://snooker-live.ru/Still works. Today they even had two tables.
Year of Ding (surreal)
>>157158898Yes, that was pure destruction. I had the pleasure of watching a part of that match.
>>157154200>And has he even be at home in Dubai ever since the three day SMO began?I think it's been such a long time since there was a legit /147/ that I haven't blogposted about my new job to you yet. It's quite possibly the worst job I have ever had in my life. I thought it was just going to be an IT job that possibly doesn't pay me enough to live on, but it's not even that. I do customer service for smart meters now. And all my colleagues are recent immigrants. I don't want to go all /pol/ because they're lovely people and there's nothing wrong with one or two Nigerians with impenetrable accents and woman in hijabs, but it's like working in a taxi office.Anyway, one of my best work friends from my new job moved here from Dubai. She said she moved because she's Sudanese and was fleeing the war in Sudan, which would make her an actual refugee, but she somehow managed to come here even though she didn't live in Sudan and lived in Dubai instead. So people are definitely leaving Dubai. That was my point.

Neyulbros we are back
My brother's form wasn't that good, it turns out.
GWAN BARREHGWAN KYREHI was about to make a post asking what nickname Kyren should have but felt like something wasn't right, so I went to wikipedia and was reminded that he actually had a nickname. But I found pic related funny.Instead I'll ask: what nickname should Barry Hawkins have then? I think The Bark would fit nicely. Bar - like Barry, and "bark" like what a dog does, because Barry looks like an ugly-cute little dog, a pug or something similar.
I packed Ding in the wikigacha game while the thread was dead, i know you all must be jealous.>>157163625Wikipedia says he is the German Master so i'll just go with that
It's over for Jebb
>missed double ciders with Neyul and Willo this morningGutted
sirsss please send good thoughts for benefit to the Pride of Bharat_/\_

>Runny and Burry outI expected the exact opposite.>>157166757Dayum. And there is no session in the middle of the night, so I can at least watch the first one.
>>157163625>what nickname should Barry Hawkins have then?Michael Holt, in his YouTube videos, has said several times that he should be "Barry Potter".
>>157163767>Wikipedia says he is the German Master so i'll just go with thatAlready taken by Ali Carter.>>157164246I don't get it. Doesn't make sense for him to be called that.>>157167810This could work.
