Snooker 2021

Ng On Yee is 3-1 up against Morph, just needs one more frame!

[Morrison Lard]

Superb. 3-1 down against a female amateur.

God I hope she beats him and he is stupid enough to say something again.

[Cuellar]

That's all I want in life

[druss]

AIDS.

[shoulders]

Fucking drown

[Uncle TechTip]

Fucking drown

Great, I'm like cool, he lost, but no, he won.

For those that missed the AIDS bashing:

Heh, thanks for that! The looks on his tiny face, brilliant.

"Rob Walker announcing his resignation from the BBC"- bit David Brent-esque. Especially as Rob Walker is a freelance journalist who doesn't work for the BBC.

[mippy]

Oh man, seriously reconsidering my decision that Eurosport subscriptions are "a bit too much". Would have liked to have seen On Yee play anyway, but the reaction sounds delightful.

Hope Reanne or Sanderson Lam take him out next round.

This is magnificent! You can see his fury even as he tries to seem like a good sport (which he clearly isn't, of course).

Michael Georgiou on Eurosport just now, talking about getting to play in the Scottish Open despite falling off the Tour:

"I shouldn't even be in the building, according to some players..."

Atom Face is never gonna live this down. Good.

[jobotic]

Ronnie's right on one about how shit snooker is if you're not one of the top players. Talking sense it seems to me.

[Blue Jam]

Kylo Ren taking hair inspiration from The Young Offenders.

Sorry, I'm terribly late to this, but can somebody explain the AIDS moniker for Murphy?

I've found him more irritating and repellent than ever during this last tournament, so would enjoy hearing the origin of the nickname.

[sevendaughters]

Storm Barra fecked my plans for Llansnookero. Agh.

+1 for this, please.  Always gets a chuckle in Bennett Towers when the big tournaments are on.  Suits him to a tee.

[Uncle TechTip]

AIDS is bad and so is Shaun Murphy.

[Blue Jam]

Shaun Murphy is about as welcome as AIDS. I think that's it.

[paddy72]

Shaun Murphy is about as welcome as AIDS. I think that's it.

Ah. That makes sense.

[pigamus]

Although you can of course learn to live with the actual disease

Goes back to biggytitbo where we were giving them all nicknames on old threads because, let's face it, there are long stretches watching snooker where absolutely nothing is going on.

What else is there to say?

[shoulders]

"Whoa fucking hell!"

"Here's how the situation developed."

"Here's a link to the clip"

"Here's some remarks from the players"

"Here's some remarks from the pundits"

[DrGreggles]

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/snooker/59572854

"Walker had given up 44 points in fouls"

"Georgiou scored only three points in the entire match"

I* could hold my own against some of these cunts.



*highest break 34 (in 1993)

BBC don't have rights.

AIDS would provide comment and you wouldn't like that, would you.

I would, I want the content so I can attack him.

How the hell did Peter Devlin get a Eurosport interviewer gig? Was it decided with a rap battle or something?
