Title: Crucible Snooker
Post by: Mr. T. on Apr 20, 2006, 09:57 AM
After just one round we allready had:

- Endless talk about 'the cloth'
- Endless talk about 'the venue'
- Endless talk about 'kicks'
- Endless talk about 'side'
- Endless talk on why Jimmy White will win this year
- Endless talk on who's the best player "ever to pick up a cue"
- Endless talk about Ronnie 'The Rocket' O' Sullivan
- A decider on a respotted black (lost by Steven Hendry  :-/ )

that's snooker for you guys! I love that game!

Jimmy White is out.
The end of an era?
Let's put the resident sport psychologist on the case!

Remarkable,  astonishing... astounding  :)

Did you see the Peter Ebdon-Marco Fu game! breathtaking snooker from both players.

Peter came out victorious 17-16 after a deciding 56 break, one of the best breaks I've ever seen. He was crying while potting the last balls after he past the finishing line...

That sport never ceases to amaze me...

The final features Peter Ebdon and Graeme Dott, who beat The Rocket. The final starts of this afternoon and will end monday night.

It's on its way! Started with a re-rack and some more uninteresting talk about Peter Ebdon's move to Dubai.
This is going to be EPIC.

Dude, Peter Ebdon just won four "on the trot". He's back, but stil four frames behind. At least he is asking the questions now, can Graeme Dott reply?

Fascinating  ;)

Yeah, for the first time this final, they're really potting some balls. Too bad it took them so long.

In fear of the diminutive Dott wining the final, i'm off to bed...

Still hoping for Ebdon though...

PS, he doesn't look that bad in real life...

The final was the longest ever.
I fell asleep around 15-11, probably during an interesting safety battle  ::)
