Snooker

Nice one mate

Looking forward to it

 

O’Sullivan out, beaten 6-4 yesterday by Hawkins

 

I think his head has gone, imo he won’t win another major tournament
. Bow out now Ronnie, we don’t want to see you beaten by Billy nobody’s.

 

Really pleased Jack got past Selby last night, really had to dig in.

 

I fancy Trump to beat Robertson comfortably today. 6-2

 

Williams out

 

Higgins takes the first frame against Trump

Think this’ll be a really close match

 

Setting off to go to this afternoon’s session

 

Enjoy mate

Murphy and Trump wins, I think

 

Cheers , same double for me

 

Semi finals today

Trump v Wilson
Hawkins v Allen

 

10:30 pm Sat . Has to be the most insipid snooker match ever. At this rate they’ll have to delay the start of the final

 

Awful watch.
Seen more exciting games of chess.

 

Whoever wins , I hope Trump does them 10-0

 

Trump is an absolute cert in the final like

 

Is Mark Allen being coached by Peter Ebdon these days, seems to take ten minutes over every shot.

 

Shaun Murphy on the BBC: 'Now, it's completely within the rules. But at what stage do we question whether the amount of time Mark Allen is taking over simple decisions is a tactic to annoy his opponent? I can't see any reason other than that for why he's taking so long.'

 

I reckon it's more likely he's just grinding it out and trying to be super careful for whatever reason, but yeah less of a Pistol and more Musket Mark Allen these days.

Possible it's gamesmanship, but it would be odd psychologically for a player who's played rapid snooker his whole career so far to start playing intentionally slowly to wind his opponent up.

 

I can't watch it at the minute. Gone right off snooker and this doesn't help.

 

Off to bed at last !
