World Snooker Championship 2012

[Teflon Don]

Mark Williams has just won his 1st Round tie to set up a 2nd Round match with O'Sullivan.

[Mendoza]

Higgins 12-4 down to Hendry!

[RobbieOR]

Higgins out.

[Mendoza]

Hendry through with ease, 13-4.

[Woo]

King Hendry the Eighth!

[Acid]

O'Sullivan is well on form here. 10-3 up on Williams who hasn't beaten Ronnie in a decade, and never at the crucible.

[Acid]

O'Sullivans just scored 293 over 3 frames without Williams scoring 1. 11-3 and Ronnies won all 6 frames of this session.

[RobbieOR]

Didnt Williams beat O'Sullivan in the final in 2000?

[Acid]

Not according to the internet.

[lifetime fan]

Didnt Williams beat O'Sullivan in the final in 2000?

 

UK wasn't it Rob?

[RobbieOR]

Williams beat Stevens that year in the final.

 

My bad.

[Ezekiel 25:17]

Who's going to win this then, Ronnie always feels like one frame from a break down but seems the logical choice, I'll go for Trump though, will they play each other before the final ? Has the draw been decide yet ?

[KinskiRage]

Cracking game there, Ali Carter with a big comeback to win 13-12 on Trump. Don't like Trump for some reason, I think it's the hair and/or dopey face.

[RobbieOR]

Best game of the championship so far that.

[RobbieOR]

Said at the time that Trump never apologised for flukes. He deffo needs to learn a bit more grace.

[Woo]

If Hendry somehow won his eighth title, it would be one of the greatest ever sporting achievements, and certainly one of my favourite.

 

Any idea what time the matches start tomorrow? The BBC site hasn't updated, and I don't want to miss it if it's a 10am start.

[RobbieOR]

It's early, mate. They said it while he was with Davis earlier.

Almost certain that it is:

 

10am - Hendry/Maguire and Day/Stevens

The winner of O'Sullivan/Robertson will beat Carter in the final I reckon.

[KinskiRage]

That BBC site is a disgrace.

Fucking pumped for Hendry v Maguire. The way Maguire has been playing, Hendry's got as good a chance as he'll ever have.

I thought a few players didn't apologise for flukes because it feels like a hollow apology - they aren't sorry. I imagine that is Trump's attitude anyway.

[Ezekiel 25:17]

Ebdon was in the crowd cheering on Carter, that's the done thing isn't it, what a fucking cunt.

[The Golden Eel]

Ebdon was in the crowd cheering on Carter, that's the done thing isn't it, what a fucking cunt.

 

They're mates I think, nothing wrong with that.

[The Guest]

They're mates I think, nothing wrong with that.

 

Ebdon is probably the biggest cunt in world sport. Another fucking millionaire whinging about tax.
