Re: Snooker Thread

Well O'sullivan won with ease against hendry. I wonder who'll be his opponent? prolly perry though Carter isn't certainly out yet

Re: Snooker Thread

I know, he beat Hendry so easily. Hendry had said that O'Sullivan played the best in the world and that he's safety play was the best. And now its 11-5 to O'sullivan. Everyone knows Carter will loose..he will get close, put some frames up but Ronnie is in top form this season.

Re: Snooker Thread

This is defo not a great final as Carter keep giving Ronnie chances by missing makeable shots. If he played like he did vs Hendry it would be a whitewash,
Liveish scores here http://yahoo.eurosport.co.uk/snooker/world-championship/2007-2008/livefullpage_mtc233900.shtml
I expect Ronnie to take this easily

Spoiler

Re: Snooker Thread

Well we have our final in this year's world championship @the crucible

Higgins vs Murphy

-> my guess: Well I hope it'll be higgins but I fear it'll be murphy. Higgins is strong but against allan he had some difficult moments (though having an assuring lead) whereas murohy has shown a very good playe and mental strength.

Man selby vs Higgins was so awesome and final worhty

Re: Snooker Thread

All what I have to say about Snooker is that RONNIE O'SULLIVAN is the best of the best, I still remember the first time he did the maximum break (147)

Hey,

No one watching this year's WC at the crucible? I hope some people like snooker. Who do you think is going to win?

I think it will be Williams, Higgins or Selby. I hope latter one because I am a selby fan

 

[Hakuteiken]

No snooker fan around watching the Masters?
A pretty strong QF going on between Allen and Robertson right now.

 

[Josef]

Probably the most interesting tournament is the WC, though probably because they have to beat the most people to actually reach a semi or a final.

Last night's match with Murphy and Higgins was so unfortunate for Higgins.

 

[Hakuteiken]

Right now, I'm watching Selby vs Williams. With a highest break of 28, Selby leads 3-0, uh.
The standard is pretty poor in this tournament. Lots of 6-5 scoreline to back that up.

 

[Josef]

So it's Robertson vs. Selby, I kind of expected one of them to at least be in the final, best form currently over the others, in my opinion. Now only the night session left, Selby leads.

 

[Hakuteiken]

So, Selby entered a very elite club by winning his third Masters.
I hate it, personally, especially when such achievement was accomplished by late Paul Hunter, who was one of my favorites, more like an idol to attract me into watching cue sports.
That said, he definitely deserved it, although the overall performance was pretty poor by all participants.
