Off Topic Snooker: Tour Championship

Unbelievable performance by Neil Robertson.
Ronnie O'Sullivan didn't get a look in.
Great spectacle.

 

Looked as if he'd stuck his John Thomas into the national grid.

 

Glowing white hot! Ronnie was very complimentary in defeat too.

 

I've noticed that with Ronnie. He seems to like losing so he can be very complimentary to the winner. I suppose when he thinks about his bank balance, he'll think so what I lost in a final again. 'Big deal, I'm still worth £10m.'

 

Reckon Ronnie lost 'cos he couldn't stop laughing at Robertson's hairdo!

 

Unlike a month or two ago when he criticised all his competitors saying the were no better than pub players.

 

That's a cracking snooker you've laid there.
'Foul and a miss. Balkan Tiger four points'

 

He wasn't talking about ''all his competitors'' when he made that assertion, he was talking about the standard of the supposed up and coming youngsters. In the chat afterwards he wasn't alone in that assumption.

If anyone's interested the Bingham/Selby match on now is an absolute gem. Bingham's won 5 frames in a row to lead by 3.

 

Blew that potential max sadly.

 

Yes, hasn't slowed him down though.

 

Playing very well. Cool character. Had to go through qualifying too.

 

Anyone for a rerack?

 

Wouldn't mind a pint in The Skyrack in Headingly right now !
Edit: Bloody 'Ell - how could I misspell Headingley after all those years living there.

 

Reckon that was what Bingham was saying after he went in-off...

 

Had a bet on Selby to win it outright. Seems to be struggling at the moment but hoping for improvement as the game goes on.

 

I'd never write Selby off, he's just too dogged. Just about to pickup his first frame of the evening.

 

I've just regained consciousness after watching that Friday evening match Selby v Bingham. What a bore that was. I expect Selby to press the turbo tomorrow afternoon.and take control v Murphy. Still trailing but I'm quietly confident I've got this one - famous last words.

 

Could go either way. Selby the dogged, Murphy the long-ball man. Good contest so far.
Heading for 7-7 as we speak - Selby on table, 24-0 up, a few reds available.

 

Not edge of seat stuff tonight either is it! Mark Selby is as boring as **** but probably the most single-minded, professional player on the tour.
