Thanks, I'm late 20's. It's a program some universities here have, for anyone that's over 23 that didn't do the national exam, but have work experience for the degree they're trying to get in.

GWAN BAZ

He wasn't even bad in the first, Blobby was just fucking crushing him.

idk how they judge that, maybe some leeway if unintentional?

You know what would make snooker even better?

Lasers

True but Kyren was like 83% pot success, he's only missed three pots in the past two frames

Half the balls left on the table after 30 minutes just fucking explode

What if the black was in the yellow spot, where it should be because it's a much more difficult break to make than where the black actually is.
This is what blows my mind.
The 147 is much easier to get than the cheeky 72 using only yellows.

Instead of cleaning and recarpeting the tables, they should spill liquids and bumps and burn parts of it to add an additional tactical element to the game

And they should add a 7th pocket in the middle of the baulk cushion, and if any ball enters It the frame is forfeited

Zhou has been playing a treat this evening.

OH SWEET LAWD THIS FRAME

I think a spinning disc in the middle of the table would be a nice touch.

Some pinball elements ought to be added

can't help but think Kyren would have preferred to have won that frame, as the score now would be 5-6 instead of 4-7.

The game stays exactly the same except you don't use cue's you use ping pong paddles instead

I'm sure there are 2 other lads but they don't post that often. Anyway, that's still the nicest thing i've heard this year

are the French not into snooker?

yes, James Corden is one of them.
Ed Sheeran is another.
the lack of bullying has unleashed them on the world.
I wonder how they escaped the natural order of things.

>putting in 190kgs stupid forced meme
Nooooo

It's just a bit harder to distinguish the Brits

They probably were until we banned players from smoking fags and drinking while playing.

youtube.com/watch?v=kJ40igEqc4o

What was so funny in the Carter-Yuelong match lads?

This but instead of cues or ping pong paddles dicks are used. Ladies and dicklets can used strapons.

Carter did his maths wrong and didn't know he'd be on a respot

Hilarious

Weren't that many then either.
I wonder what it is.
Canadians seem to like it.

ali cleared up and started walking out the arena thinking he'd won the frame, but he'd only got the points level for a respotted black.

*smokes fag* The score does not matter, one has to imagine Dott happy.

I'm actually glad the americans don't play snooker.

Also you can ignore the brown for the most part, since it doesn't interfere as much

USA! USA! USA!

>Quiet please

As an avid /hoc/ watcher I can say that there are actually not enough breaks. Guaranteed they'd push for breaks within the frame to squeeze in more ads.

If you think tournaments in London are bad for the fucking Ronniefags, can you imagine a yank playing to a yank crowd?

Fuck me

>Guaranteed they'd push for breaks within the frame to squeeze in more ads.

Top 3, easily. His entire playstyle was aggression so it doesn't matter that his safety game was utter fucking wank. Most modern players have utter wank safety as well so they wouldn't be able to shut him out for long. His potting skills are unmatched except by Ronnie. He was also somewhat competitive even when he was utter shit throughout the 00s and all the young boys were hitting their prime. Prime Davis could compete in the modern game as well.

>top 3
He'd be number 1 by a country mile, rpmmie is done

People seem to forget just how unplayable Hendry was in his prime

>buy a waistcoat and cue
>wear it while watching the match whilest chalking your cue constantly

By Elo ranking his prime was about 60 points below current Ronnie so 2nd.

Lmao what utter casual fools

I get that you're trying to get a rise, but snooker clubs have been closing down left right and centre here, it's wild how it's fallen out of favour so hard

How much is it to play for an hour these days?

I know. I should have dropped out of school at 15 to go pro at snooker.

Yeah but that’s it, we can all relate to him because we suffer from our own demons

Hendry and Davis on the other hand are just beta autismos who prob got bullied in school

£7.50 per hour or 8 hours for £50

Depends where you are. There's a place in Dundee where a £5er gets you a load of table time. Some places make you pay a deposit on the balls but then there's a metre for the lights, in Central London it costs £11-15 an hour, which is a rip off

Waiting on Zhou to homage ronnie and shoulder barge Ali

Why do yanks pronounce snooker as snucker?

No wonder you don't get wonderkids anymore, they can't afford it.

This drives me duppin' mental

Because they're fat fucking retards.

Carter is just bad tempered because of all his cancer and failures.

He also dislikes foreigners

Did you miss the future goats at the shootout?

whatever happened to alex higgins anyway?

Literally never blamed it on his cue and he was still top 16 for many years after his cue broke and he stopped practicing for 7 hours a day

Must suck being wrong so many times.

some places have Snooker Kids Clubs (or even Darts Kids Club) where the kid pays a £5er and gets coaching and the chance to play for a whole morning

in what context

It's more than affordable.

You can even get a monthly membership which is unlimited table time & your own locker for £300 per month.

Carter is just a cunt. He looks angry and upset whenever his opponent pots a ball, always shaking his head

You're wrong again. Fucking hell, no wonder everyone here thinks you're a joke.

>£300 a month

Terry Griffiths does that too, and he's Welsh. The BBC used to pay him to commentate on a sport he couldn't even pronounce.

Did anyone see him restrain himself from swiping the cluster with his cue and conceding there?

Your own words

aren't snooker clubs full of criminal types? you could easily earn your club fees by running a few 'errands' for them.

I can think of quite a few, but loads of them are on the wrong side of Belfast and I wouldn't go in if you paid me

What the fuck happened to Carter? Yeah, he had a few autismal moments in the past, but he's 24/7 seething now

Just take your girlfriend to the snooker club like I and all the Chinese students do

Supposed to be in reply to

He was already a seether, but he's probably very aware that he's running out of time to win decent trophies

Ali 'Had to qualify' Carter

Nah he’s always been like this

I remember early 2010s when Judd was first becoming a thing and Carter was kicking off because Judd wasn’t apologising for apparent flukes.

No one likes Carter.

true, there's an unpredictability about creating wonderkids.
it needs to be organic, in a way.
the Chinese are making them in factories, but no matter how decent they seem to be, there's that little bit extra missing.

He's approaching 40, has been to two World Championship finals, lost both and is realising that all he'll be remembered for, if he even will be remembered, is a shoulder barge on the consensus greatest player of all time. He's even dropped out of the top 16 so he had to beat a horde of Chinese 16 year olds to even be allowed to play at the Crucible.

>he's probably very aware that he's running out of time
Bit savage; I thought he'd got over the cancer?

What about Trinity on Shankill?

>SEETHING CARTER

X-DDD

Wrong side

After his 7th title... which was his career ambition, and he was still beating all the players you falsely say were surpassing him.

I'm done educating you now. All this info is out there if you're actually a snooker fan and not a shitter who only watches because of ronnie.

No one has ever had as big of a breakdown as Ronnie did in round 1. Even when Hendry lost to Mark fucking Campbell 9-0 he wasn't as much of a mental midget.

Now fuck off

Carter needs to compose himself overnight if he's going to win this. It's no use him being this pissed off all the time if it's affecting his game like this

For me, it's Michaela Tabb

>No one has ever had as big of a breakdown as Ronnie did in round 1
Mate Ronnie's breakdown wasn't even the worst of this tournament

The thing is Hendry's downfall had a bit of a fatalistic quality to it, he kept spiralling downward until he couldn't do it anymore.
With Ronnie you still feel like he can win any tournament out of the blue.
Two great champions, no doubt, but ultimately galvanised by different impulses.

very well said

requesting "Higgins" celtic video where he does the "up yours" gesture

>a 30 year old was beating early 20 year olds at snooker

wow has this championship taught you nothing? Snooker primes don’t come till late late 20s and early 30s, Hendry was in his prime and wow he beat a 24 year old Mark Williams and a 22 year old Paul Hunter.

The fact of the story is, these players then matured (f for Hunter) and then surpassed him.

I'm a bit biased to Hendry, but I think it's fair to say both he and Ronnie reached a level that either have a solid claim to being the best ever.

Even if you listen to their own words in latter years, they are full of respect and admiration for each other.

Attached: 1540135468559.webm (346x242, 134K)

of course

Yea I couldn't agree more. You never ever thought "This year he'll come back" but with Ronnie I really do expect him to come back and do the business.

not quite, because the ages at which players peak not only change from one player to the other, but they also tend to change from one generation to another.
In Hendry's time (which is bang in between the Davis years and the class of 92) you had careers similar to what you saw in tennis around the same time: start very early, peak in your 20's, decline in your 30's.
It's basically Sampras's career (and I saw Hendry pretty much as the Sampras of snooker).

Omg I remember seeing this live and thinking to myself "Is that actually John Higgins?"

Absolutely based.

lel
when was this?

I don't think we've ever actually had confirmation that this really is him. Everyone in the crowd looks a little bit like John Higgins; that's just how Scottish people look.

Need to find the original and do some CSI freeze freame analysis
