It's that time of the year again - the Snooker World Championship starts today!
Today's schedule (GMT): >10am Mark Williams vs Martin Gould Luca Brecel vs Gary Wilson >2:30pm Neil Robertson vs Michael Georgiou Ding Junhui vs Anthony McGill >8pm Mark Williams vs Martin Gould Luca Brecel vs Gary Wilson
Spring has sprung and we've got 17 days of comfy Snooker with Hazel and the boys. You just can't beat it.
Prediction: McGill to beat Ding. Made a great comeback in qualifiers. Dingfags btfo when the pleasant wee Scot pulls off a shock first round victory. Screencap this.
Morning lads Got a new job, now work normal hours instead of 14:30-23:00. Much better for snooker.
Tyler James
Because. I'm betting 1k on him this year, not amazing returns but still decent.
Jaxon Moore
Will Seema be involved again?
Tyler Kelly
Call me a square but I much prefer a classy OP like this rather than meme post OPs, good job Ausbro
>wearing waistcoat and bow tie: OP >banter with the crowd: the actual thread
Carson Johnson
How does Hazel still look so good at 53?
John Edwards
>Amateur twink qualified >Heisenberg McGill
Dominic Rodriguez
Due to budget cuts this year, the snooker tables had to be carried out single-handedly by the head of world snooker. I'm impressed he didn't get a Barry Hernia.
I wouldn't bet on that. The odds for Ronnie are much too short, because everyone will be betting on him, but at the same time, he will probably win it again. Mark Williams again might be worth £5.
Williams v Gilbert/Hawkins v Wilson/Higgins v Bingham/ Murphy v Robertson/Selby v Bercel/ Carter v Allen/ Trump v McGill/ [spoiler]Pengfei v Cahill[/spoiler] if things go like this, Kyren v Trump
Samuel Murphy
One day I will watch the World Championships with a girl!
Daniel Young
Hopefully Williams can beat this pedo
Xavier Moore
There's a girl in the crowd on TV. She's watching it; you're watching it. Technically, you're watching it with her right now.
Hunter Ramirez
Why would you want to though, she wont understand the intricacies of our glorious game
Aaron Parker
Martin Gould must be so happy that he plays a sport with a constant influx of teenage boys from Thailand.
Ayden Sullivan
Looks like a painter decorator that drives a banged out yellow vauxhall combo
Alright, I'm off to the market. I'll see you in the afternoon
Easton Butler
BASED LEOPARD SELBY
Julian Cox
Cause I can't sleep at night
Aaron Diaz
Trump looks like that mate of yours who'll start a fight and then run and leave you behind. Ronnie looks like he drives a clapped out Corsa with a fartcan exhaust round his local council estate at 2am
Luis Miller
Eurosport showing Robertson... I want to watch Ding ;-;
My name is Judd, and I hate every single one of you. All of you are fat, retarded, no-lifes who spend every second of their day looking at stupid ass pictures. You are everything bad in the world. Honestly, have any of you ever gotten any ass? I mean, I guess it’s fun making fun of people because of your own insecurities, but you all take to a whole new level. This is even worse than jerking off to pictures on facebook.
Don’t be a stranger. Just hit me with your best shot. I’m pretty much perfect. I am the best snooker player in the world. What sports do you play, other than “jack off to naked drawn Japanese people”? I also get straight A’s, and have a banging hot twink (He just blew me; Shit was SO cash). You are all faggots who should just kill yourselves.

>The year? 2024 >The place? Paris >The sport? You already know. >Steve Davis is upset. as manager of the England Snooker team, he thought for sure Olympic Glory was on the horizon. >But strong efforts by China have made things difficult. >Worse still is the trembling wrist of John Higgins, who appears to be almost missing on purpose, as many of the more cynical fans claim. >If Davis is upset, its nothing to Barry Hearn. Snooker is only an Olympic event on trial. If it does not generate the interest, it will be removed by 2028, meaning much less exposure and cash through the years. >Ronnie throws a tantrum,leaves. >Ding and Wengbo on peak form. >"Oh god, what do I do now?" cries Steve Davis aloud. >A door swings open behind him. >Light casts a broad sillhouette across the room. >"Well would you look at the time... Twelve years are up". >Stephen "The Elephant" Lee. >Davis is unsure, but throws him on anyway, with no other options. >And in those 12 years, his cue action has only gotten better. Balls are moving in ways Davis has never seen! >Wengbo and Ding bottle, and England take home the gold. >Barry Hearn cascades down the stairs and hugs the once disgraced player. >"What do you say, Stephen? Forgive and forget?" >Lee lights a cigarette, turns his back on Hearn, and starts to leave the room. In the doorway, he looks over one shoulder. >"Forgive? Sure" >Long drag on cigarette >"But an elephant never forgets" >Goes on to win 12 world championships, has three trophies named after him, is knighted, and ressurects Joe Davis, Ted Lowe and Alex Higgins.

Camden Howard
I'm sorry. The rest of this thread is so sensible. I'm sorry to have degraded it. Please mr niece diddler, accept me. You are the worst person on this board. /147/ is ruined by you, and you wouldnt have to change a thing if youd just drop that stupid fucking name. I hope you die in a train fire.
Hudson Sullivan
Absolutely outstanding.
Elijah Bennett
just ignore the cunt mate
Dylan Long
Can I join both?
Nathaniel Rivera
sorry man. Got a little heated. i was the mick who won 60 quid on judd in the northern irish open
Ryan Long
I only watch the world champs, masters, UK championship and the snooker shoot out
2bh a Welsh team would dominate the Olympics anyways
coached by Terry Griffiths and captained by the current world champion.
Levi Gomez
Most places would probably let you do that, but the odds would be terrible. If he has 5/1 odds of winning, you'd think he'd have 1/5 odds of losing, but it doesn't work like that and you'd get ripped off.
Ryan Martin
Cam on Gary
Robert Hughes
Yeah you could lay it at an exchange like betfair or matchbook
Have you all stopped watching the snooker? I'm here with my laptop and terrestrial TV, and was watching Football Focus instead, but it turns out the snooker has still been going on on the BBC Red Button. Someone is being BTFO but I don't want to spoil it in case you haven't been watching.
Eilidh Barbour is the superior Jock BBC presenter wench.
Nathan Morgan
Fucking hell lads, today is a lovely day. The sun is shining, skirts are short, student population is sunbathing in the parks, got some good deals at the market, got enough groceries to cook enough meals for 2 weeks this easter weekend, strawberries are good again, the world championship is back and thus my tea consumption is up by 200%
Jose Edwards
so comfy lads.
Oliver Ward
When did McGill start shaving his head?
Bentley Nguyen
Buy any drugs?
Also, does it bother you that the Netherlands are greatly unrepresented in Snooker?
>Also, does it bother you that the Netherlands are greatly unrepresented in Snooker? Not really. It might make snooker more popular here so I would have some people to talk about it, but I fear it would lead to an army of brainless toothpaste bandwagoners like we see in Formula 1 when Verstappen junior arrived.
I'm not sure what they do sell, but of the mass produced Dutch lagers sometimes sold abroad, Grolsch is the best (which is easy if Amstel and Heineken are the competition). Pretty good taste wise, but a bit too carbonated. If they have Grolsch Kornuit, even better.
Jordan Phillips
he'll win this one day. you just wait.
Jordan Taylor
Neil already got one eye on the 250k worth of warhammer he's gonna buy when he wins the whole thing
Hudson Peterson
Davis uses the word LOSER. Yikes.
Dominic Smith
>barber >not wigmaker
Juan Long
Reminder that Shaun Moiphy was that kid in school who reminded the teacher about homework, and that's why Ronnie can't stand him
Thomas Ward
If he wore wigs he'd look better
Wyatt Peterson
He does wear wigs...
Adam Harris
wtf McGill is bald now?
Matthew Jackson
Only if it's the latter I AM MY FATHER'S SON bit, otherwise Dream House is the better bet
Subatomic penetration rapid fire through your skull
Easton Foster
He could if his finishes he qualifier before the tournament ends
Justin Young
he was that one fat kid who didn't get bullied.
Brandon Adams
Really? I did hear wig jokes about him but always assumed it to be false, because nobody would choose to wear a wig this pathetic.
Juan Peterson
He's the same person. His entire personality is following the establishment which is why he's always moaning about GWAN when he acts a bit like a rebel. Insufferable bellend
Yeah it was a crazy decider, and crazy that it even went that far. I reckon Lu Ning will be the next Chinese player to win a ranking event, he's got so much bottle, he can win a numpty tournament like the Riga Masters or Gibraltar Open, he's been close a couple of times.
Nathaniel Foster
>he's been close a couple of times. >one quarter and one semi.
Luke Scott
Well yeah, that is a couple of times
Brody Harris
its not really close is it.
Hudson Gonzalez
Closer than the vast majority of players without a ranking title
Brayden Morales
Still though, it’s not really that close, is it?
Ayden Young
Hoping for a white wash here. Much rarer than 147 these days
Christian Ross
Winds me up when they clap long pots even though the cue ball is really close to object ball. Not even slightly dificult
Joshua Carter
Ding Bing is actually doing it, I was so wrong!
Hudson Johnson
Yeah, Sharav piqued my interest from the NIR open. He looked good but ultimately lost to a better player. Hope he can keep on improving. Also had a good laugh when Ebbo bombed out.
Grayson Taylor
Had problems finding streams anywhere this season so for this wc i decided to buy one month subscribtion on eurosport player and it's great, consider this
Jason Cruz
Fucking hell, Big Break is available on iPlayer! Know what I'm doing during the interval
Parker Edwards
What is /147/ listening to before evening session? Bathory - Blood Fire Death here.
fuck off neil you ginger cunt and go play some wow
Caleb Gutierrez
Adventurous! I would unironically have this as my walk-on music because I really like it and I feel a strong personal connection to it, but I didn't post it earlier because I thought it wouldn't fit with the tone: youtube.com/watch?v=r93Oayq09Lk
Josiah Nguyen
I wonder why he's not allowed Happy
Christian Scott
Bazza here, because it's an annoying trash song, that's why
>Neil Robertson >Australian Snooker professional. World Champion, Triple crown winner. Global ambassador for @singleshotinc I like the sounds of this Singles Hot inc
I don't care what anyone says, women are shit at snooker.
Liam Cox
And? I want to see some lady snooker players. There's no reason why they couldn't do it, and their presence would make matches even more comfy because people wouldn't keep speculating that they are paedophiles and sex traffickers.
Jackson Miller
GOULD (GOULD) ALWAYS BELIEVE IN YOUR SOUL YOU'VE GOT THE POWER TO KNOW YOU'RE INTO LITTLE GIRLS ALWAYS BELIEVE IT
Henry Perez
there is nothing stopping them from turning pro, Reanne was pro for one season and basically won no matches all season and has never got through Q school again.
Connor Brown
>Martin Gould is 37 He's only six years older than me, and yet he looks like he could be my dad. If my dad had an earring and kept disappearing to Thailand for "snooker tournaments".
They're actually toddlers, just like Martin "LostProphets" Gould likes them.
Ryan Ortiz
Women are allowed to enter Q school so no, there is nothing stopping them.
Jordan Bennett
>working mens clubs >men only Sexist pigs.
Colton Diaz
But why would you choose those places to hold a snooker tournament with women players? There must be other locations that would allow a woman to compete in a tournament. It just shows that the organisers actively do not care about women players.
Charles Nguyen
She should just identify as a man for those games desu.
Hudson Powell
they probably don't have much of a choice its not like there's a snooker club on every corner.
Hunter Hughes
Shh! Be quiet, everyone! It's starting again!
Thomas Wilson
so this... is the power... of aussie banter... woah
Jose Martin
I just noticed that you said >Baized Nice work
Benjamin Carter
williams will choke
dubz confirm
Wyatt Rivera
Is someone on another table? Why can't I see it from dropdown menu?
Dominic Russell
Stephen Maguire & Tian Pengfei
Jeremiah Collins
Remember when there was a Rileys in every shitty town going? Had some good times in those shitholes
Gabriel Johnson
>Martin Gould is 37
Fucking HELL. I'm 36 and he looks a good decade older than me
Austin Anderson
what's it like being 36?
Elijah Sullivan
> There's no reason why they couldn't do it
Yes there is. The fact that they are women. Women are shit at doing things..
Gabriel Taylor
This Martin Gould is really something. He really is the Leader Of The Pack. If this match keeps going, he will be on the Last Train Home.
I don't know any other songs by paedophiles, unfortunately.
Aaron Morales
Hey Faggots, My name is Elliot, and I hate every single one of you. You girls have never been attracted to me. I'm the perfect guy, and yet you throw yourselves at all these obnoxious men, instead of me, the supreme gentlemen. I will punish all of you for it. On the day of retribution I am going to enter the hottest sorority house of UCSB and I will slaughter every single spoiled, stuck-up, blonde slut I see inside there.
I will take great pleasure in slaughtering all of you. You will finally see that I am in truth the superior one. The true alpha male (Got a BMW for my birthday; Shit was SO cash). You are animals, and I will slaughter you like animals. I'll be a god, exacting my retribution on all those who deserve it, and you do deserve it. If I had it in my power, I would stop at nothing to reduce every single one of you to mountains of skulls and rivers of blood, and rightfully so. Thanks for listening.

>this is how Daniel Kitson started and 5 minutes with Peter Kay made him hate mainstream comedy forever
Isaiah Young
Yeah, Peter Kay is apparently a massive unfunny wankstain in real life, if his "does anybody else remember growing up?" Standup shows didn't give that away.
His stand-up comedy is dire, but Phoenix Nights was so brilliant that I will always stick up for him at least a little bit.
Matthew Evans
According to who?
Eli Russell
Good Honest Lads like Dave Spikey and the bloke who played Rayvon
Hunter Morris
Yeh phoenix nights is really good
Christian Turner
Have just spent about 2 hours messaging random women on Instagram. How the fuck do I turn my life around
Carson Rodriguez
Depends on what's wrong with your life
Sebastian Bennett
Stop obsessing about womyn and improve yourself instead
Isaiah Morales
Were they "ayo gurl lemme smash" messages? Women get those all the time, so yes, they will hate you and ignore the messages. If you really feel like you need to send messages, make them messages for making friends with the women instead. Nobody ever makes friends with women. It'll be a relief for them to talk to someone who isn't trying to fuck them for once. The problem here, of course, is that this means you can never fuck them. But if you successfully make friends with them, they might have a single friend they can set you up with, and then you could fuck her instead.
Jose Ortiz
Thank fuck that's over and we won't have to look at Gould's miserable face for a while.
Now we've got charmless Stephen Maguire against another of the Snooks Gooks. It's not a tremendous improvement.
Jose Thomas
do normies do this?
Parker White
End of the day, the more friends you have that are womyn, the more social validation you get from womyn and the more chances you have talking to other womyn.
Listen to this user but the part of trying to befriend them online is weird, use social media as a secondary source to further back a friendship.
Julian Price
Who wins in a fight?
Stephen Lee or Stephen Maguire?
Landon Stewart
>it was only a 12 ball plant this time Dennis
Cheeky bit of commentary from Ebdon
Nicholas Powell
There are different types of normies. Some of them send sexually explicit online messages to strangers, but those guys are usually a bit weird so might not count as true normies. Other normies just have a girlfriend lmao and don't need to do any of this. I know a guy who fucks literally hundreds of women, but he is seriously mentally unstable so he's not a normie either in my opinion.
Cooper Roberts
We all win
Joshua Wood
They would probably just start orbiting each other.
Juan Green
>Prior to the release of Snooker 19, Joanne Williams (wife of current world champion Mark Williams) accused the game of "massive prejudice", with the release cover art of the game not featuring Williams.[16] Williams would comment that the decision was due to Williams being over 40 years of age, and Welsh.[16] This would lead to fans of the sport imposing pictures a naked Williams following his world championship win over the cover art for the release.[16]
These tweets they keep putting up on screen are completely idiotic. They should put posts from this thread up if they want to show what people who are watching have to say about the matches.
