oooh, if he done that down my club he'd get barred!
how the fcuk has the ref moved the cue ball? huh? why?
get the feeling ding will come through here somehow
Disasterous. Made a huge meal of a simple escape. Panicked and blew it.
still don't understand why the ref moved the white away from the black
had he cleaned it or something?
had he cleaned it or something?
it wasn't touching the black but rolled onto it,so he had to move it back
Oh well. Good effort in the end Ding. WD the other bloke...........
ronnie backers laughing now. Only real threat on his side of the draw out.
This years pommejang will be back down to earth in round 2
i asked before and i'll ask again.
who is this bloke??
£4 matched, well £2 really, on him to win the title at 2.4.
thats a quality value bet!

Some shrewdie has £2 on Walsey at 2.4 for the championship
for a debut performance, thats one of the best ive seen in years in terms of holding it together under the pressure, funny how things work out as in his previous match milkins misses black of the spot which would of left left michael needing snookers, michael pots the colours to force a respoted black and pots a stormer to make his debut. well done michael wasley is all i can say.
Great performance, I backed Ding on the handicap genuinely did not think he would win more than 4 frames. You talk about milkins missing match ball against him in the qualifiers. Thats not the half of it! I was watching him playing an amateur in the first round of qualifiers (sydney wilson) and wilson needed blue and then yellow (which was automatic) to win 10-9. Wilson misses the relatively easy blue and Walsey clears up. He was terrible in that Wilson match as well. Fair play to him though, bloody impressive debut
he did brillo pads, but ding wont win at the crucible if he plays til hes 90
that was a fantastic final 2 frames
superb century in the penultimate by Walsey
& the last frame drama was gripping
some great fearless potting by both
& the way Ding laid those snookers at the death was just class
really didn't think Walsey had a prayer at 8-9
but fair play
one thing i noticed
don't know if u guys did
but Walsey seemed well jacked up,hyper 2 me
don't know if it's just cos i'm tapping on
maybe all the yooft r like that now
but it looked a bit more than just adrenaline 2 me
been some great finishes already
looks like an unpredictable type of event

I really wanted to watch the end and was gutted when they had to leave it at 9-8. I only found the result out this morning which I was delighted to hear. This match must've caused some depression for a lot of people cos at 6-3 it looked like a cert for Ding. I actually felt dumb that I'd opposed him after his incredible record this season. When Ding made it 9-8 I'd given up!
I just need Ronnie, Robertson, Trump & Selby to get stuffed now and I'll be laughing all the way to the bank!

Watched Walmsley in the qualifiers he showed no nerves in a close match there. Only saw the last two frame of the game last night. He was definitely not going to go out by refusing a chance and playing safe. If there was a shot on he went all out for it.
Johnny...
For somebody to be with me 50% is quite an achievement for me!
Cmon Fu!!!

Wasley very impressive in his interviews as well as on the table. Interesting to hear him talking about playing billiards when he was a kid, surely a great way to learn about the tactical side of snooker but not sure how many people bother with the three ball game anymore?
I spend a lot of my time in snooker clubs gj, and I haven't seen anyone play billiards for years. Or golf, which was my favourite baize-based punting hybrid type-thing.
Golf Jed??? As for billiards, with respect to the founding fathers and elders, i think the fact that it is probably one of the most mind-numbingly tedious games ever invented might have something to do with its relative unpopularity these days..
Wash your mouth out gentlemenjohn.
It has to be said, a lot of the fun and frivolity was lost to billiards when they barred the anchor cannon. Who wouldn't be riveted watching someone compiling a break of 400,000, in units of two?
Carom, three-cushion billiards, is my current favourite game. I have recently devoted quite a lot of my time to thinking about it, but that's as far as I've got because the nearest table is 70 miles away.

ah yes jed the splendour of the anchor cannon...i take it all back, the elders can stop spinning in their graves. When they brought in a new rule governing cue measurements - players had taken to using pencils for the daintiest of touches - it was all over for me. Still bitter about it
But carom...not a bad game at all, think i saw a bit of that on sky or eurosport in the not too distant past and it was surprisingly brisk and easy on the eye

yeah that is how I got into it, the world championship final was on between a belgian guy and some other bloke (sorry about the vagueness but it was the middle of the night) a little while ago.
Some awesome imagination and cueing skills on show.
