Snooker 2021

[sevendaughters]

McGill played great. Ronnie a bit off colour but I think the best Ronnie of this season would still only be level-pegging at best with what I saw.

Lisowski surely cannot be helped by that chunky watch he insists on playing in

[EOLAN]

In fairness, don't usually cheer on Higgins pot but that red was a beauty (while knocking the nominated blue in too).

[jobotic]

Eh? Didn't Ronnie get three centuries in a row at the beginning of this match or something?

Watching Loveable Geeky Robbo vs Handsome Jack on Eurosport. Usually much prefer the Eurosport commentators to the BBC ones but Phil Yates and Anthony Hamilton have been giving me cause for a rethink.

Ha, I've been admiring it! Any idea of the make and model? I love big watches.

EDIT: Rolex Oyster Perpetual, found it on his Instagram. Along with this- FFS Jack, snooker players aren't supposed to look like this, get on the lager and tabs and scotch eggs before the WPBSA hand you a lifetime ban:

Anyway, watches: good to see McGill vs O'Sullivan was a Casio-off. McGill with a retro silver one, Ronjo rocking a classic F-91W for a bit of terrorist chic.

Has anyone posted Ballbag Bingham's excruciatingly bad TikToks yet?

Here's a Twitter thread of highlights: https://twitter.com/sophiehnnh/status/1384560976742297602

This made me do a big laugh though: https://twitter.com/kendoherty1997/status/1384927722284232706

Hahahahah... I did like the "FOOK OFF, I'M DOIN' TIKTOK!" one though, just the mindless sweary rage of it. I dread to think what Stephen Maguire's TikTok is like.

[AllisonSays]

No wonder Lisowski can't concentrate on the snooker with a bod like that, fuck me!

[Pauline Walnuts]

Less than a year since McGill had a reasonably fine if short head of ginger hair. All gone now. Keep thinking it's Gary Wilson.

I keep thinking it's the one in Arab Strap that isn't Aidan Moffatt.

I haven't seen snooker in about 20 years. Just watched some and it's John Higgins v Mark Williams, John Virgo describing it and Alan McManus v Steve Davis doing the bants. This is what The Documentary Children of Men said would happen

[AllisonSays]

Also, while I definitely wouldn't say that I found Stuart Bingham's TikToks funny, I did find them quite cute. He seems like a nice fella.

[Blue Jam]

Yeah, Bingo's alright. Makes me feel a bit mean when I think about how "local" he looks. It's not his fault...

Ronnie's been doing the Williams Break-off™ all day. Solidarity... and a top bit of trolling, I'd expect nothing less from Ronnie.

[Flouncer]

Higgins did it once against Mark Williams too! He fucked it up and left a red on though.

Ronnie's just asked for his hot water again.

[Blue Jam]

McGill no longer walking on to This Charming Man. Is he as disillusioned as all the other Smiths fans are about Morrissey?

[sevendaughters]

Malcolm Middleton absolutely melting down here against Sully O'Ronnievan!

[Blue Jam]

Jan Verhaas is a big Dutch Roger Lloyd Pack. Can't believe I have only just noticed this.

[sevendaughters]

JV keeps calling McGill 'Anthony', reminding me of Barbara Royle

[Shoulders?-Stomach!]

Have only tuned in for the comeback frames Ronald has won. How McGill won 10 frames I have no idea.

[Norton Canes]

Guy with a yellow duster for a mask. State.

[Blue Jam]

Just spotted one of the regular vegan t-shirt peeps wearing a t-shirt which reads "HAIL SEITAN".

EDIT: and it's the guy with a yellow duster for a mask. Go on Ronnie, ask the twat if he fancies a nice veal cutlet.

[Blue Jam]

"Have you 'ad yer tea love?"
"Yeah."
"What d' you 'ave?"
"SEITAN"
"Ooooh, that doesn't sound nice"

Ceelo Green and Kasabian. All the #CANCELLED men. Love it.

Mark Williams bagsied Credence? Lebowski missed a trick there.

[Blue Jam]

Ha, haven't seen a waistcoat foul since I was actually at the Crucible watching James Cahill lean on the pink.

Could be pivotal, Ronjo...

[Norton Canes]

God it must be worth a £40 annual Eurosport sub to escape Virgo.

[Captain Z]

Gwon Ronneh

[Norton Canes]

Anyone here ever sat next to a GWON RONNEH at a tournament?

[Norton Canes]

Right. Got my lemon chili Bombay mix. Come on lads.

[phes]

Rub o the ball eh

[Blue Jam]

Anyone here ever sat next to a GWON RONNEH at a tournament?

No, but I have sat next to a TON UP.

Rooting for Ronnie here tbh. I'm enjoying his top trolling plus him equalling Hendry's record would amuse me greatly.

[sevendaughters]

well well well, didn't see that coming!
