2020 World Championships **Covid-19 Edition**

That was why I sort of added the 2nd comment with the bold quote

He slung his cue in those last 3 frames and it worked, he'd given up by that point (14-16) and it worked in his favour freed him up

The luck he's been getting as well

If he ever moans about slow play or bad run of the balls again someone should t*at the simpleton ffs

as ya say SS everything went for him, it wasnt a rope or a tactic to get under selbys skin, he had given up and thought he was beat and just chucked his toys around sulking like the child he is

I do feel a bit sorry for Wilson late last night, the blue into the reds splitting them perfectly but sending a red into the corner, the red going in off the blue a bit after that from Ronnie, the red not going in the middle and staying right over the pocket from Wilson as well

The getting down and smashing it against it Selby and getting a snooker back, the wancor has had all the luck in the world

People will bum him after this but his luck has held up all tournament

Judd did an interview a few weeks back where he said he'd achieved everything he wanted to in the game.

Lata can go either way that though, it might relax him and we see him go on to dominate the game for a few years

Or he could just fall of a cliff for having no intensity, I think he'll favour him being like that because he didn't handle pressure all that well when he needed to get the world title monkey of his back

ive layed at 320 for 15quid, but cant be confident,( because ronnie cant be trusted to even turn up for final session)  then id be over4000 down

He doesn't strike me as the hungry type though Trumpy, he seems happy to just mess around and make a few bob

Nothing wrong with that I suppose its up to him I guess, just need to realise that when betting on him

Only one thing can explain all of this. Hearn abandoned his bucket pocket strategy for improving snooker in favour of a magnets system. he can now use magnets to make balls fall and to stop balls falling. it all makes sense now

I have noticed balls getting sucked towards the pocket when Ronnies been in so you could be right, wise

been a weird championship all round, the standard has been appalling, but i think players plan and try and peak around the worlds, with it being moved from april i think that made a big difference, as well as the other associated problems with it being played later in the year, ie the playing conditions as well as several of the overseas withdrew from the qualifying rounds.all added to the worst standard i i can remember

Yeah the heats been complained about so that may have played a part, humidity is a killer on the hands and wrists for the sweat

You've definitely got the value. At evens the pair for each of the 10 remaining frames, Kyren's a 1024 shot, and there's no way he's an evens shot to win each frame.

yes that what i worked out, lat, i was even thinking of putting the 15 quid on wilson  to win say the frames individually and if he won thefirst 8 on the bounce id be up around 3500 and then   hope ronnie wins one of the last 2.

im always scared of laying at big odds , got stung few years back when pakis stayed in their dressing room, hence i say if ronnie decided not to turn up etc

Ronnie could still play to a world leading level if he so wished. but he can't be arsed. Zero patience.

That he can still win it playing so rashly is laughable.

Looking forward to the Genius that is Ronnie O'Sullivan picking up the trophy for the sixth time - he has had more bad sessions than good and they still cannot lower his colours.
What will snooker do when Ronnie is no longer on the scene?

Shot of the tournament doesn't involve the blue for match by McGill against Lisowski.
Selby shot in frame that gets reracked is included though

365, have match odds for the seniors starting next week, jimmy 1/50 v joe johnston,and 4/11 bond v hendry.

ken docherty is 13/5 fav.

dennis taylor rag at 200, id rather get involved with this these days than horse racing

hey Cooper, it was the season of darkness. it was the season of light. it was the worst of times. it was the best of times.

can lay wilson at 250 now. that is well below expected imo

At evens it assumes he's already won the first two frames.  At actual frame prices, it assumes he's won the first three and is 40-0 up in the 4th.

Come on Kyren you can do it

Rangers have done 10 in a row so can you

Would that be on tv by any chance, would like to see what the standard is with the likes of Hendry these days?

Wonder what the crowd make of this?  Must be willing him to miss so that they're not just getting a single frame for their money.

smart arshe in crowd quoting Ken's line in the movie

Good luck Kyren cause your gonna need it

the only thing you have against the lay lats is if ronnie fancies a little fook about to entertain...he has the ego for it

anyone know the prices for this session? fairly expensive for one frame

Quite happy to lay sub-200 and have a little roll-up on the individual frames, mate.

Ronnie might want a fook about but Wilson is totally useless and ain't winning a frame

it looks done anyway

Just had a quick search on bbc, so that will be interesting to see how the old dogs are doing

Since 10-8 I don't think Wilson has made a break over 20

Truly pathetic

8 on the spin fark me

Cmon Ronnie, G wants to lump on Si woo quim in the golf....

Anybody note what time they actually started?  Hope they give the poor bastards in the crowd their money back

Wilson should be fined for his performance from 10-8

Absolutely disgraceful for a world final competitor

KYREN APPLAUDING RONNIES 50, WHAT A DIV

Get Coast on

Wilson applauding? what a facking loser

dennis....playing as good as hes ever played

Ronnie costs the charity £25k by failing to pot the black

lats they'll pay it anyway imo

Well that was short and sweet.

wd bob & other ronnie outright backers

Wilson can get back to his caravan park now and don't make another final ffs

Do the punters get a refund for only seeing 1 frame?

wd ronnie backers

But Selby should have won

That's enough of the trophy b0llocks

Absolute muppet on the mic

Rob Walker loves Kyren, doesn't he?

Such a happy loser.................AT 28 YRS OLD

I CANT UNDERSTAND THAT.....HE NEEDS AN HOUR IN A LOCKED ROOM WITH KEANO

WARRIOR MY COCCKK

Like he's talking to a 12 year old child

Doesn't look bothered does he for someone who's just been hammered in a world final and may never get another chance

A losers mentality

SHOULD BE JAMIE CLARKE PLAYING THERE TONIGHT

I didnt get the "at 28 years old" stuff, he obv thinks thats young ffs!

Its becoming a joke this young stuff at 28 b0llocks

HE'S 28 FFS

28, married, kids, still 15 years till he reaches his snooker peak

I suppose snooker needs to go down that route, Ronnie will be getting called a whipper snapper soon ffs

Remind me of the scene from black ball where "he's young, hungry and dangerous" and a 42 year old bloke with a pipe in his gob turns around

selby must be fuming right now, he wouldve destroyed wilson aswell

So the final score was: Kyren 8, Ronnie 18, Covid 19.
Covid wins! wd Covid!

"country mile above everyone else his age" hold on what about dudd?

Ronnie's actually being nice to him

country mile above judd pmsl

This could be excruciating.

you've given people something to focus on other than the virus for the last 17 days
brilliant!!

back to the virus then

Oh the virus is still lurking, its coming back don't you worry about that

Wave 2 this fall

Aside from the blonde rinse he looks like an archetypal 1940s black-marketeer.

Its gone away for the snooker but its coming back for winter

steve davis fancies him for SPOTY, not a chance

Selby will be putting his foot through the TV

Sick as a pig right now I bet

SPOTY, NO CHANCE..................BLM WINS THAT

so who is doing the exbo for the crowd then?!?!

here's Mr. Snooker 2020, Radzi

will we see radzi on the snooker again or was this a one off due to covid?

BITS OF COLOURED PAPER ALL OVER THEE FLOOR

WHAT AN EXTRAVAGANZA 

its been a long 4 weeks of snooker with the qualifiers included, loved every min of it tho

Bring it on

I think Steve Davis may have forgotten John Higgins in the 'won it in 3 different decades' bracket

so it was confirmed bazza hawkins burst the ton in every match bet for 2 years running

Where the hell did they find this herbert talking to Angles? Ye Gods.

ronnie is trolling judd here big time, not mentioning him at all

a 3 wicket win for essex & 3 draws (somerset traded 1.01 on here in the match market that contains the draw)
means that 7 lines of the yankee paid out @ 2/5, the other 4 money back
