Anime.This is me watching my dream final while playing video games and listening to Hako, so it's obviously related.
>>157378248Thank you for baking.>the Noppon miss on the blue has become a controversy looked like he missed to me but the angle wasn't that good so i'm not 100% sure >Then we go back to the former Home of Snooker for British Open and English Open.>mfw

We're back.GWAN THE PLAYERS>>157378284I couldn't stand the thought of being left breadless on such a fine occasion.>>157378045Actually, I thought the sentence didn't make sense, but now I realised they meant "their = Mark and Stuart's".
Mark Selby, one
>>157378248Posting in a rare Polebro thread.GWAN BOTH PLAYERS
COME ON NOPPONWIN SOME HE**ING FRAMES
wew that is a proper zesting
Just now when Selby was potting the green, the ref moved his hand to scratch his nose (probably a signal for the magnet operator).It looked as if he was about to sneeze. That made me think. What would happen if the referee sneezed right when a player was taking a shot and the player very clearly jumped and missed because of that?Would they let him repeat it?
>>157378624Don't worry, the next six are his.>>157378662Surely
>pots a red>snookers himselfNothing personnel, kid.
noppo just can't get started in this session
>>157378863And judging by >the state of this table, he's not going to anytime soon.
>>157378872>the two reds off the cushion by selby nopplads... I don't feel so good
I think Noppy is gonna kill himself lads
>Lmaolby
>>157378662If an audience member who is sitting in the front row sneezes they don't usually replay, the player has to accept it, although the ref is even closer to the action so maybe it would be justified?
Finally, he wins a frame. At least a couple more, Noppy, even if you really have to lose the match.>>157379211Yeah, I'm wondering exactly because it would be the fault of the ref of all people. The one person responsible for fair play etc.
Pouncing in progress
>>157379042>lose frame on the black AGAINit's shite being thai
>>157379238Can't find or remember an example of a distraction coming from a ref or from a sitting opponent for that matter
We're about to witness the biggest comeback in the history of Thailand.>>157379596>from a sitting opponentYou want to dance, let's dance.Also, Ronnie once told the ref that Selby was drinking too loudly.>schlop schlop schlopBark Selby, bad dog.
J E S T E RPoor Noppo though.
For me, it’s the Jester from Lester.
>>157380021>doesn't win a China event for 8 years >China open returns >immediately wins it Lmao GWAN
End the season now
>>157380040For me, it's the Leopard of Taiyuan.
now for the two hour ceremony
To reach the final, each of them had to beat 3 former world champions and one Chinese jobber.Well, 6-10 against Selby in a final isn't bad for a player from outside the top 16.>>157380045Never really cared for western events.>>157380063Wait a moment, Noppon and Zhou need to win their first ranking titles first.
Probably the biggest check Noppy has ever received, and I'm not talking about the dimensions.
Lmao @ this Final Fantasy esque music playing >>157380063But I want to see the Ding vs Noppon world final
Finally some fucking Kasabian
more money to buy Leicester FC
Dott's trial starts tomorrow
>>157381525perfect time to tide us over until the Wuhan Open

Zest bros... I'm feeling good
>5 days of work without snooker
And this time I'm bumping my own thread, which somehow feels even worse.
>>157381610>>157381610>>157383175It's Dott vs The Lord Justice, live from The High court in Glasgow. If he wins it will be his first ranking title in almost 20 years, if he loses... it's straight to prison. The stakes have never been higher!

For some reason this is currently on, no idea when it was filmed as Chris Mason talks about two nine darters in one match and he can't imagine two 147s in a snooker match, except maybe rpmmie could do it. Can't believe they didn't think Jackson Page might do it one day.

Not suggesting he's not a nonce but how do you end up leaving your kids alone with a middle aged single bloke? "Oh it'll be okay he's good at snooker".
>>157470624What’s his nickname now? The Diddler? The Pied Piper? The Preying Scotsman?
>>157471963Glasgow innit. Full of weirdos and druggies.
>>157472047>The Preying Scotsman?Kek. This.
Surprised he was found guilty desu, how do you get a conviction off of 20/30 year old claims when the defendant says >I didnae do it?
>>157472243Maybe he said >I dun dun it.
>>157472243Can be things like the victim saying that they remember Dott was taking a certain medication at the time of the offences then authorities checking his medical record and finding that he was indeed prescribed that medication at the time. Doesn't prove the offence, but proves the victim was in close proximity to Dott. Also, things like the victim accurately describing the size of Dott's penis or moles / scars in private areas, something that they just wouldn't be able to do unless they had actually seen him naked.
>>157472047>The Preying ScotsmanExcellent.
>>157471963There's no mention of their relationship to him (to keep the victims anonymous), could easily be siblings/children of siblings etc
>>157472243Dotty probably heard about all the pool tables in prison and figured he could become top bitch by hustling them all at 9-ball
