Fantasy 2020 World Snooker - Now running

[Darbyand]

Wow what a frame.

[Shaggy365]

Is it possible for a player to score 100+ points & still lose the frame?

[Surprised]

I don't want this to end.

[forestfan]

Regarding losing with 100 points, I used to have games like that on my table top snooker table when I was about 8... and there were only 10 reds!

Black now on the cushion, is the Davis/Taylor finale meant to be? Edit, no, it ends with a fluke. Or does it?

[forestfan]

As Alan McManus predicted before a frame was played, it comes down to the final pink and black, albeit with a snooker needed... and Wilson prevails. How does he find anything for the final after that though?

[bluenosey]

That was something else

[Shaggy365]

Ronnie looks like he's already lost.

[forestfan]

Ronnie looks like he's already lost.

He never enjoys playing Selby, as he just breaks up his rhythm and wears him down. Should have been over a while ago really, this one.

[forestfan]

And it’s another decider...

[murf]

...but going to the final frame.

[forestfan]

Who would Wilson rather play? Ronnie blows hot and cold, but is unstoppable when he clicks into gear. Selby is just the ultimate long match player.

[blahblah]

Neither. He should get mullerred

[forestfan]

Neither. He should get mullerred

I don’t think getting drunk will help his chances in this day and age. Unless you’re just suggesting an overdose of yogurts

It meant battered etc when I was a kid. Probably due to Gerd, but I'm guessing.

One explanation...

Wilson did suggest “a few beers” in his post-match interview!

[blahblah]

I doubt this decider is going to last an hour

[murf]

64 ahead. 75 on table...

[Shaggy365]

Ronnie looks like he's already lost.

I said it first.

[forestfan]

Ronnie could win this final 18-5, or it could be another cliffhanger.

[blahblah]

I hope Auntie has a Plan B for Sunday evening.

[forestfan]

Third place match between Selby and McGill? That would go the distance...

[morganb]

He gives a good interview does Ronnie. Managed to catch the final frame after the CL match. I'm trying to get my youngest boy into watching the snooker (and supporting O'Sullivan so was a good frame to watch) and he gets in-house commentary from me explaining the game. I think it's working as when the match finished he straight away asked when the final was!

That was incredibly bad... not far off that negative score that was possible!

[sportsmeister]

Not quite sure how Ronnie has only managed to win the World title 5 times - surely he should have had a Phil Taylor style dominance

[Shaggy365]

Half-time in the knockout cup.

Score is :
Johnners (4938) & Rick Spangle (4231) = 9169
kingcurtley (3176) & murf (2828) = 6004

[Darbyand]

Looks like nevblake has got the Fiso table title. 5 X Ronnie will overtake the 4 X Ronnie of Shaggy.

Can't disagree, but if Ronnie gets stuffed and gets a negative score ...

Because he doesn’t have the robotic mentality of a Phil Taylor, or a Davis or Hendry for that matter. He’s more the flawed genius of an Alex Higgins, a George Best or Gazza etc. but he’s managed to avoid their ultimate self-destruction, in fact “semi-retirement” has brought out the best in him. He’s still managed to have longer at the top, and more majors in total, than the players who had really dominant eras.

Then owenclass takes you both!
