World Snooker Championship

[Reynard]

This evening was fabby. I didn't get the result I wanted on either table, but both matches were right out of the top drawer.

That was incredible! Anyone who has played a competitive snooker match, no matter how low the level, will know how difficult it is to hold yourself together when it matters. How those guys do it under that sort of pressure is unbelievable.

Awesome watch last night, I was watching Higgins Allen, but keeping a track on t'other game.

 

[Grant Fondo]

Agree with all the above, what about that for some monday night entertainment!

 

[Reynard]

And so far, the quarter finals don't seem to be disappointing either.

Bingham v O'Sullivan is edge of seat stuff, Ronnie's looking a bit flustered at 10-11.

 

[Reynard]

Gutted to see Ronnie lose as I love watching him play.

But fair game to Stuart Bingham, he played an absolute blinder after the mid-session interval. I now reckon it'll be a WIlson v Bingham final. A good one for the neutral.

 

[Beebo]

12th seed is the highest ranked player left.
I fancy Bingham as he’s done it before. The others could choke.

Sharp end now on the one table, best of 33. Hoping Dave Gilbert does well, but I'd put money on Wilson lifting the trophy although predictions nigh on impossible this year.
I soooo hope this magic tournament stays at The Crucible!

They need to control the doors a bit better if it does. Comedic!

Wilson must be favourite to win overall.

These two are both looking very average at the moment.

Jak Jones has been my value bet since the 2nd round. He seems to have modelled his style on Zhang Annda.
Not having Eurosport this time, I missed a trick on spotting the form far too late. My fairly miniscule bets on Zhang came up big, yhough Ladbrokes subsequently banned me.

Wilson is more flawed so I have Jones as the winner. Not that I gave the continuance of Eurosport to fully confirm my observation.

 

[Smokin Joe]

Bingham blew it big time. Trying and failing to get a snooker in one frame when a pot was clearly on and the rest of the balls at his mercy was unbelievable. As Hendry said, for all his talent you can see why he's only ranked 44th in the world.

 

[Bonefish Blues]

I am not excited by the Final match up, but I'll dip in I guess.
