World Senior Championship 2026

bucket for ronald. needs all the help he can get right now

utter filth

played the wrong shot at least 4 times that break

ronnie has played this entire match like a practice match

how about you fkin retire

ronald mcdonald

hes treated this match with utter contempt and deserves to lose for that alone

hope mugkins does him here

yep tr

ronald dragging milkins down with him

Joe still shocked

how many rank misses does joe need to see before he isnt shocked anymore

if ronald wins this and its still a big if, cant wait to see the interview after. if he doesnt say thats about the worst hes ever played in his life then theres something wrong

pockets aren't big

as i said a big if. yet another horrible miss

but milkins is that bad he cant take advantage

really should be all over now but who knows with how ronald has played

another miss. pot success numbers will be interesting at the end

its only 12 foot be 6

cmon muggykins

not close enough to be called a wide from ronald

this mugfest deserves a black ball decider

christ loose cue ball

Oh my

woeful. easily the worst standard ive seen on tv

and you would have to be brave to think ronnie clinches it here

looks like hes going to. painful match to watch that

cannot wait for this interview

would have preferred to watch dennis & cliff tbh

Semi final, tight pockets, shot clock, hug from Rob W - what an afternoon of quality entertainment - on to Nooke Bear - Steadman this evening

would be bad standard but at least the right shot would be played

cliff "I live for re-racks"

Think I'll do the couple of rugby matches and the boxing at 10.30 ish and comeback to see the end of this frame

that's never a free ball

red not even touching the black & there's still enough room for a full red

wtf perry

1-0 Craig

What Channel is it on tonight?

150 sky

5action

steadman has looked the better player so far

"I think the pockets are playing nippy"

right o

"pockets a little bit tight" - Ronald will hope so - these two will be here all night

Thanks,Wonders

Perhaps they could hit the cue ball harder

unforgiveable

that's twice now joe has missed completely

his eyes must have gone

A truly awful match so far

Thoght after beating the Channel Island Champion last night that Steadman would be easy meat for Nookie Bear - by the looks of it not the case - and Craig did my comfortable Ali bet last night also

both SFs

that cue ball turned as well

seems to be all manner of problems caused by fiddling with the tables to widen the bags

3-0 Craig - If Joe J was in the comms box "Steadman is already halfway to guaranteeing himself a blackball shootout"

Cmon then Perry - time to get going

Has Cliff nodded off? Who is the other commentator?

Lee "the shirt" Richardson

warning coming up

its them tight bags again cliff

3-2 could be late night drama

hate these in-frame ads being plugged by 5

No one in world snooker can live with Perry on this form - 3 frames on the bounce - his time in the comms box has given him vision few others can match  -- 3-3

Or something

Nookie Bear moving through the gears here - does not want to be in the comms box with DT tomorrow when he could be out there - 4-3 ahead

Table looks as slow as a Trent Barge but Joe getting to grips with it now

5-3 Perry MSI No2

yes he's picked it up gw

no sign of lats for this event either?

Not sure Lats ever bothers with this event (or the Shoot-out) but still a concern as to where he is.

Let us know if you're out there and ok please Lats.

Sure did pick up wonders - as Craig said he was 3 up but not playing well himself so a little improvement gave him the turnaround needed.

Yeah chaps hope Lat is OK - started the World Champ Qualies thread but not been imvolved since.

Ronald going to play like he has the rest of the event then

Neal and JP both going for O'Sullivan in a close one

yes same here tm

Dunn and DT starting the afternoon off with a tight pockets chat

Well - that start will boost Joes confidence

tedious bucket filth

was it 6th or 7th black shocking how wide that was
then the missed blue of course lol

walofs

Ronald been matched at 1.5

big price if he turns up, short if he doesn't

refusing to play safe...be an afternoon of racing for me

Nookeie Bear fat finger 3 backer feeling a little better

Joe

Longest frame of the match - coming in at a glacial pace of 12 minutes

4-2

Bloody hell Nookie Bear that is a shocker

But gets the one the matters
4-3

black Ball Bingo

Lumpys turned up

Another back for Joe - 5-4

Got one back but lost the next couple - 7-4 O'Sullivan

That was Perrys chance gawn

Well done lumpy - got the £8k+ or so matched on the way down from 1.13

8-4 Ronald

Not looking much like a black ball shooyout tonight -Nookie Bears opening frame win of the evening seems a long time ago
9-4

Game Over - 10-4 Ronnie O'Sullivan World Senior Champion 2026

Wonder if Ronnie will play this again

Anyway that is that for this season - back in a few months with Championship league and the China events - Saudi ones - and the dosh - all gone to pot - lucky they didn't take the Worlds there then

Evening all!  Touched by the concern! 

Some of you might remember an opportunity presented itself back in July for me to start something new away from here, just a couple of days most weeks.  Well, it turns out I'm not too bad at it, and new opportunities keep presenting themselves all the time.  I'm loving it, too.  I've always struggled to turn a profit at the Crucible, ever since we lost terrestrial pics, and single-table format/multiday matches don't really suit me anyway, so it was a bit of a no-brainer to keep saying yes to more of the other stuff as it came along.  I think I saw about 6 frames of the WC in total.  Delighted for Wu - the player who had been scoring the best for a huge chunk of the season.

Not completely done with here just yet, but I shall definitely be around less in future.

Hope you're all winning, and see you at some point once the new season gets going! 

Good to hear all is well with you Lats and also good to hear that your new opportunities are working out.

The way things are going on Betfair markets and with all the affordability checks etc. it’s probably a good time to be expanding your horizons.

Have a good summer!

glad you are well lats & hope to see you posting next ssn
be british open in september my next tournament

To echo Gin & wonders - very good to hear that all is well with you Lats.

Also pleased to hear you are enjoying your new ventures. Hopefully speak to you next season - all the best.
