[LDG]

[Cripps_orig]

Matthew Stevens is 6-0 up v Fu

Fu :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Peter Ebdon is a vegan?

http://i1133.photobucket.com/albums/m597/DavetheCamel411/411/lilbrian.gif

Still on the first frame, Ronnie is on the table with a decent chance of taking it.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ronnie fails on the pink, looks like he has managed an inadvertent snooker though. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Now Ronnie fails on the black!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ebdon pots the black. Scores are tied. :haha:

Respotted black needed.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

What the hell? Both of them have missed their chances now.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

18 shots on the black. :wacko:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ronnie takes it on the 21st shot! 1-0. :lol:

What a start.

[LDG]

Ebdon took the second.

Ronnie in control in the third.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Century break to make it 2-1 to Ronnie.

:bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Re-rack needed in the fourth, then Ronnie potted two reds at once. Complete fluke. :lol:

[LDG]

Ooooh. Ebdon was looking like getting a sizable lead there. Cocks it up.

Has to play safe.

Come on Ron!!

[LDG]

Bit scruffy this.

[Cripps_orig]

Is Ebdon ghelling it up?

Is he playing hoofball?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ebdon hoping for four snookers. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Well there's one of them, Ronnie hit the black. Two snookers needed. :popcorn:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Brilliant from Ronnie. 3-1. Ebdon gives up parking the bus.

[LDG]

Ebdon is such a Ghel.

Brilliant brown from Ronnie there though. Fits and starts, but he's potting pretty well, and didn't hav ethe rub of the green there either.

[Cripps_orig]

Ronnies seeded 14th :blink:

[LDG]

Ronnies seeded 14th :blink:

He's been shit up until lately.

Hopefully he can up his game, because there's nobody better to watch when on form, IMO.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ronnie should take this one now, very scrappy again.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

4-1. :popcorn:

[LDG]

:dance:

Nice one Ron.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ebdon sends the black off the table.

:haha:

What a pub teamer.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

5-1 Ronnie leads.

[LDG]

Ronnie on the march.

5-1 :d

[LDG]

Ebdon looks like a cross between Gollum and Dobby from Harry Potter.

[LDG]

Huge kick for Ebdon there :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Time to switch to the laptop.

:rolleyes:

[LDG]

What a blue with the rest! Ronnie :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Disciplinary proceedings are opened on Mark Allen. :lol:

I think he basically said all the Chinese players are cheats.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

6-1.

Ronnie. :bow:

[LDG]

6-1 Ronnie :d

[LDG]

That last red was proper good along the cushion.

He's getting in the swing.

Dobby is sad :(

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Fatty Murphy is one frame away from going out. :popcorn:

[Cripps_orig]

World Snooker chairman Barry Hearn says Mark Allen will face a disciplinary process for comments made after his first-round defeat by Cao Yupeng at the World Championship in Sheffield.
Allen claimed Cao failed to declare an illegal push shot when leading 5-4.
"To effectively accuse your opponent of cheating is looked on as bringing the game into disrepute," said Hearn.
"Time and time again Mark seems unable to control himself in his public statements. Sometimes I am speechless."
In response to Allen's accusation of dishonesty on the part of Cao, Hearn added: "Players have rules written in their contracts and they are not allowed to say certain things.
"If they do, they are in breach of tournament regulations and will come under a disciplinary process.
"There is a responsibility on players to make sure that their comments are proper and thought through."
Hearn also welcomed the news that Allen has closed his Twitter account as it was also revealed that the Northern Irishman had been fined £1,000 for criticisms of the tournament location at the recent World Open in China.
"I'm glad Mark has closed his Twitter account," he said. "People must realise Twitter is out there in the public domain so you have to be careful what you say.
"It is the players' responsibility to treat everyone with respect and there are rules that they must adhere to.
"Following the rules of World Snooker is part and parcel of playing on the Tour and we will not tolerate any breach.
"Whether there has been a push shot or not is pretty much academic - it's the slant of the comments that Mark made afterwards.

"He had the chance to say to the referee that he believed he had made a mistake, but did not take that opportunity.
"There is a written complaints procedure for players to make any grievances that they may have known."
Allen, 26, could face a fine, suspension or expulsion if found guilty of bringing the sport into disrepute.
The Antrim player, who admits he was "completely outplayed" by the world number 81, claimed Cao failed to declare an illegal push shot when leading 5-4.
No foul was given and the 26-year-old Northern Irishman eventually lost 10-6.
"I'm disgusted. The state of snooker is very sad if it has to be down to that, but it's not the first time," said Allen after the game.
It is not the first time that Allen has caused controversy on the circuit.
In March, he took to his Twitter account to criticise conditions at China's Haikou World Open as "horrendous".
"Dead cat found this morning," he tweeted. "Any wonder this place stinks. Must be dead cats all round the town."
He went on to win the event and later stood by his comments, insisting: "It would be nicer to play tournaments in the UK, but I have to go where the money is."
In December, he called on World Snooker chairman Hearn to resign after changes were made to the format of major tournaments.
"I've got no doubt he'll tweak the World Championship," Allen said at the time. "The whole tradition of the game is going to pot."
Allen was fined for the Hearn outburst, while his Haikou World Open comments are still being assessed by the snooker authorities.

Ahead by 53-0 and lets Ronnie back in it.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ronnie makes it 7-1. Ebdon ballsed it up big time.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ebdon pulls one back to 7-2. This match resumes tomorrow.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Jones has a good chance to knock Murphy out now.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

51 ahead with 51 remaining and Jones misses a simple one. :doh:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

He makes up for it this time though and gives it the full GHEL celebration. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Then he pots the cue ball!

:haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Jones has done it! Murphy is out! :lol:

[Cripps_orig]

Murphy :doh:

Fellow fat boy Stephen Lee has just started his match

Matthew Stevens just needs one more for a win

Also could see a Ronnie v Williams match up

[Cripps_orig]

Judd Trump 0-1 Dominic Dale

Scrappy first frame but they are the ones i enjoy the most. 40 odd minutes. Trump isnt feeling too well either and he should have won it.

[LDG]

Dominic Dale's hair gets worse and worse :lol:

He leads 3-4 against Trump.

[LDG]

...and Trump makes it four each.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Just seen the 2nd round line up/possible line up


Higgins v Hendry is happening for sure :popcorn:Also could see a Ronnie v Williams match up

Cor these lot have been going for a long time now. Snooker must be the only sport(if you call it one) that no one worries about the oldies still being their.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Great clearance from Trump. Doubled the black from high up the table. :lol:

5-4 to Trump. Think that resumes tomorrow, if Trump isn't sick again.

[Cripps_orig]

Ryan Day also 5-4 up v Ding

Ronnie v Ebdon and Dott v Perry on at half 2

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Looks like Ebdon has let another frame slip.

8-2 it is

[Cripps_orig]

Ebdon in first again but breaks down again.

Ronnie misses a red down the cushion though

Ronnie's turn to put the black off the table. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ebdon gets another one back. 8-3.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ebdon. :lol:

He's having a shocker in this frame.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ronnie makes it 9-3. :bow:

Ebdon. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

This has been a true pub team encounter at times.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

It will be 9-4 at the interval.

[Cripps_orig]

9-4

Interval now

[LDG]

:haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ebdon tried to snooker his way out and just ended up potting the pink. :haha:

Dear me. It is all over this time.

Ronnie wins!

Ebdon blew that last frame. 10-4 in the end.

[LDG]

:dance:

[Cripps_orig]

Perry leads 8-1 v Dott :lol:

Lee 4-5 Higginson and Selby v Hawkins is on at 7pm

Higginson won 10-6

Fat Boy Lee :lol:

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Ryan Day also 5-4 up v Ding



Its now 9-9 final frame being played now.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Day has knocked out Ding!

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Trump should be on in a min.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Mark Williams is against fallen GW brother HWV I think. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Dale did what any pub player does, touched the cue ball when he didn't mean to. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

http://prosnookerblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/chuang.jpg

:bow:

[LDG]

Mark Williams is against fallen GW brother HWV I think. :bow:

Was that WUF? Guitar Hero?

Lol

"and here's a pic of me in my band....."

:ilt:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

WUF! That's the other username I couldn't remember but yeah, same person.

:lol:

[Cripps_orig]

What about HMV? :Yoss:

[Marc Overmars]

The Chinese Kurt Cobain. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

:lol:

Yoss. :bow:

Hope he's alright.

[LDG]

Williams currently leads WUF by 3 frames to 2.

[Cripps_orig]

Trump goes 9-7 ahead after a brilliant fluke

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Trump v Dale has been awful quality wise. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Trump wins 10-7! Dale was terrible, Trump was marginally better.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

WUF has levelled it to 3-3. :scarf:

[Cripps_orig]

Williams leads 6-3

Carter v Davis and Selby 3-6 Hawkins are on at 7pm

[Cripps_orig]

[McNamara That Ghost...]

[Xhaka Can’t]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jirfFcMUNbw

[McNamara That Ghost...]

:lol:

Also, Williams wins 10-6.

WUF. :rose:

[Cripps_orig]

Carter also won 10-2

[Rors]

Come on Higgins for crying out loud...

[McNamara That Ghost...]

:popcorn:

Should be good.

Higgins leads 2-1.

[Rors]

We have a Jimmy White sighting!!

[Rors]

Hendry's entrance music is 'Get The Message'? :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Why do they have entrance music?

Snookerdarts. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Henry leads 5-3. :rolleyes:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Day vs Cao has been bloody awful.

Day leads 3-0.

[Cripps_orig]

Great first frame in the 2nd session

Hendry takes it after Higgins misses the final black off the spot although it was difficult

3-6

[Cripps_orig]

There have been more mistakes and missed shots in this 10th frame by both players than ive ever seen by either of them over the years

[Cripps_orig]

Hendry wins it

3-7

What a weird frame

Higgins was in 6 times at least in that frame as was Hendry

[McNamara That Ghost...]

This has been really scrappy.

[Cripps_orig]

Ive enjoyed it tbh

The big breaks etc arent as entertaining

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Break of 121 by Gilbert, he trails Robertson by 11-8 now.

And I guess but when you see easy reds being missed it does make you think you're in a pub.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Brilliant double by Higgins.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

He nabs it. 7-4 Higgins trails.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Robertson makes it 12-8 against Gilbert. :popcorn:

[Cripps_orig]

Hendry leads 8-4 at the mid session interval

Why isnt the Robertson match on the red button?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

It is for me. Option 2.

[Cripps_orig]

Higgins v Hendry is the only option i have..

More missed chances this frame

[Cripps_orig]

And even more

Hendry has been very poor

Higgins even worse

Makes for great viewing

[Cripps_orig]

Higgins 4-9 Hendry

3 left to play this evening

Higgins needs to win at least 2 if not all 3 to have any chance

[McNamara That Ghost...]

What if you press blue and go to multiscreen?

Gilbert has pulled another one back, 12-9 now. :popcorn:

[Cripps_orig]

Pressed blue

It says

Watch
Higgins v Hendry

Read
Top Sports Stories
Football
Etc etc

Anyway Hendry in first in this frame.

The Stephen of old would have won this by now

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Hmm is that on freeview? It's on the BBC website if you wanted to stream it from that at the same time.

[Cripps_orig]

Yeah its on free view. Shouldnt matter should it?

Forgot about it being on the website :doh:

Hendry has fucked up twice in this frame already

[Cripps_orig]

And now Higgins messes up again :haha:

This is awful snooker

Hendry well ahead now

And 10-4 it is

[McNamara That Ghost...]

It shouldn't make a difference, it usually only makes a difference when they are showing things on more than two functions.

Pub team snooker. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Robertson should really go on to win this frame now.

[Cripps_orig]

Higgins gets in first with a 41 break. Decides to go for a more difficult pink instead of the black and fucks up and breaks the red/black pots he had

Hendry in now.

[Cripps_orig]

Frame ball and Hendry miscues :doh:

Thats twice this session alone. You hardly see that in a season

Higgins in and needs all the colours to win the frame.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Robertson has won 13-9. :bow:

[Cripps_orig]

Higgins misses the pink :lol:

Was a difficult one admittedly but Hendry pots it and its 11-4

This is alwsome

[Cripps_orig]

Just heard the applause from the other side of the wall. My red button is a bit behind then

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Higgins. :rose:

Is anybody ever going to defend this tournament again?

[Cripps_orig]

12-4 at the end of the session

Higgins needs to win 9 in a row

Has Hendry ever in his career lost that many in a row?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

I wouldn't have thought so. If he did then certainly not when he only needs one to win.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Higgins vs Hendry resumes.

Ronnie vs Williams is on too.

:popcorn:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Hendry wins 13-4, well that didn't take long.

Higgins. :lol:

He had best speak to his dodgy contacts again. :ninja:

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Hendry wins 13-4

Higgins :pal:

Way to defend your title :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ronnie. :bow:

Great snookers. Even if they haven't actually been successful. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Williams leads 1-0.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ronnie levels it up. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ronnie leads 2-1.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

And Ronnie leads 5-3 going in to tomorrow's session.

[Cripps_orig]

Jones v Higginson, worst round 2 match of all time?

[Marc Overmars]

Think I'll tune in now we're into the 2nd week.

Loved watching the World Championships as a kid.

[Cripps_orig]

Grew up watching Hendry v White finals

What a rivalry that was :bow:

Pretty one sided though

[Marc Overmars]

I was always allowed to stay up late if the final went to the wire as well. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Williams vs Ronnie and Carter vs Trump will resume soon.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

3-6 Ronnie leads now. :bow:

107 break.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

3-7 to Ronnie.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

3-8 now. He has been brilliant today.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Carter has just gone 6-5 up against Trump. Another century break.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

3-9 Ronnie leads. Wow.

Mid-session interval now.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

3-10 to Ronnie and another century break! That's one of the best clearances I've seen (128).

Williams has been well and truly shat on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

3-11. :wacko: 293 points without reply.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Williams has finally managed to pot some.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

And wins a frame :faint:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Williams stops the rot. 4-11.

[Gubby Allen]

He looks phenomenal - bet on 13-4 earlier today too.

O'Sullivan V Robertson should be a corking game, 1st and 2nd favourites for the tournament and one will be out.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

And the session ends at 5-11. Resumes tomorrow.

[Cripps_orig]

Watching Stevens v Hawkins

4-6 atm

Forgot about Stevens. He was pretty good back in the day. What happened to him?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Bit of a bottler.

[Cripps_orig]

5-6

Stevens with a century break

The other match is the Pub Team contest

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Stevens 5 Hawkins 6.

Stevens got a centry in the last frame

[Cripps_orig]

5-7

Mid session interval

Weird game in that they showed the stats of the match, most pots, most points, long pot success, safety etc etc and in all of them, Stevens was better and higher yet is 2 frames down

[Cripps_orig]

6-7

[Cripps_orig]

7-8

Last frame of the session

[Cripps_orig]

Ended 8-8

Monday 30 April

Matthew Stevens (Wal) v Barry Hawkins (Eng)
1900:
Jamie Jones (Wal) v Andrew Higginson (Eng)
Mark Williams (Wal) v Ronnie O'Sullivan (Eng)

[Cripps_orig]

Trump leads 10-7

[Cripps_orig]

Judd Trump 10-8 Ali Carter

[Cripps_orig]

Trumps going for the maximum

9 reds and 9 blacks

All reds are out in the open and the colours on the spots

[McNamara That Ghost...]

It might have been ended here.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Couldn't fluke it. Good break though.

11-8 Trump leads.

[Cripps_orig]

And so it ends

Didnt even get a century :lol:

Worst 147 attempt ever?

Nevertheless

11-8 it is

[Cripps_orig]

On the other table, Hawkins about to win the frame but will be 10-9 down

[Cripps_orig]

Judd Trump 11-9 Ali Carter

Mid Session Inteval

[Cripps_orig]

Stevens 10-10 Hawkins

Mid Session Interval

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Really scrappy frame.

Trump leads 12-9 now.

[Cripps_orig]

Carter continuing even though he needs 4 snookers

[Cripps_orig]

Ok its over now

12-9 now

Just seen Ronnie v Williams clashes with the Manc Derby

Might have to miss a bit of the football

[Cripps_orig]

Bloody annoying hearing JV say "wheres the cue ball going?" when its obvious it aint going in

[Cripps_orig]

Ali Carter going for the maximum?

[LDG]

Stevens 10-10 Hawkins



http://static.guim.co.uk/sys-images/Guardian/Pix/pictures/2009/4/21/1240268763001/Stephen-Hawking-001.jpg

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ali Carter going for the maximum?

He needs some luck here.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

And he gets no luck. :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Cue ball goes flying.

Carter wins the frame. 12-10 he trails.

[Cripps_orig]

And he didnt get it

That was a decent attempt

[Cripps_orig]

12-10

Hope Carter wins this

Never heard of this Trump Pub Teamer before last years tournament and never seen him since this one.

[Cripps_orig]

One more miss and Trump loses the frame

Has that ever happened?

[Cripps_orig]

What a pot that was

[LDG]

What a shot!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

What a pot from Trump.

[LDG]

Just tucked himself up though :lol:

[LDG]

and gets out of it! Ha!! Carter :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Carter. :lol:

He just dropped the Ashes.

[Cripps_orig]

Could be it for Carter

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Or not. What the hell is the blue doing down there? :lol:

[Cripps_orig]

Maybe not

Trump misses the blue off the spot

Carter in and should get some points

Me, given this opportunity would make a 147 break. A Pub Teamer like Carter should get 40 points minimum

[Cripps_orig]

Or not. What the hell is the blue doing down there? :lol:It is weird watching snooker and seeing reds up in the bulk area and the bulk colours down near the black spot.

Those are the frames i enjoy though

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Yeah that's how I end up playing game versions of snooker or pool, sending the cue ball constantly back up and down the table trying to get to all colours. :bow:

[LDG]

He's got a lot of work to do to win this frame though. Reds not ideally placed.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Virgo says it again.

It's up there with 'bumbling idiot'.

[LDG]

Fuck was that. Awful shot.

Crucible pressure :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Carter. :lol:

Cripps was right tbf.

[Cripps_orig]

Cue ball was actually close to going in that time.

Its when its obvious its going miles wide and he says it, its rather annoying

[Cripps_orig]

Maybe not

Trump misses the blue off the spot

Carter in and should get some points

Me, given this opportunity would make a 147 break. A Pub Teamer like Carter should get 40 points minimumMe :bow:

[LDG]

Gotta be the safety up behind the yellow and brown?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Yay the balls are going everywhere.

[Cripps_orig]

Just found that the other match is on channel 301 on digital tv and not on the red button

[Cripps_orig]

Good safety from Carter

[Cripps_orig]

Ref needs goal line technology for this tbh

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Virgo.

:haha:

Carter in first

[LDG]

147 Chance again :ninja:

[Cripps_orig]

Great shot with the spider

[Cripps_orig]

And then he misses the black off the spot by miles

[LDG]

FAIL

[Cripps_orig]

And there it is again despite the cue ball slowing up well before the pocket

[Cripps_orig]

And Trump misses an easy red :popcorn:

[LDG]

Ewww. Trumps turn to miss one by miles.

[Cripps_orig]

[LDG]

:popcorn:

Mandatory loo breaks for all.

[LDG]

Ah cock.

Mid-session interval.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

:popcorn:

It's on. It was just a toilet break presumably.

[Cripps_orig]

Ah cock.

Mid-session interval.:blink:

[Cripps_orig]

Red up in the bulk area already

Could be a scrappy frame.

No one wants to see a big break winner in the final frame
