Does anyone watch on stream? If so care to share a link? I'm at work at the moment.
>>66963296
Its hard touring with Hot Chip and getting in the top 16 at once like to be fair
>>66963446
I'm using this one http://www.stream2watch.co/live-now/sports/snooker/world-championship-snooker-2016-live-stream-april-20
>>66963618
thanks
Oh, god damnit, Ding.
>>66963656
What happened? Can't find a stream for that game.
>>66963660
Gould screwed up his break close before Ding needing snookers, Ding caught up but got a kick on the position on black, shot didn't go in and stayed right before the corner for Gould to knock in and take the frame.
>>66963660
Missed black of the spot and lost the frame. Got a kick on the final pink
BASED /147/
How the fuck has Ding dropped out the top 16? I've not watched any snooker this season
>>66963923
Ding has been playing like complete shit for about a year. Like, really shitty first round losses. Any kind of pressure situation and he just tilts. He recently got back into it, and he's only been playing close to his old level ever since the world champs qualifiers.
>>66964033
True, but to me it's so bizarre that just last february he was world number 1 and now he is out of top 16
>Trump v WenboSelecta
This could be a good match lads
>>66964046
He won about 5 tournaments just over 2 years ago and after two years your ranking points come off so they all came off and he hasnt done much since hence he dropped out.
Who ate all the pies?
Gould hanging in there
AHHHHHHHHH WHAT A FACKNG BREAKKKK
DAT FLUKE BLUE
C E N T U R Y
Break of the millennium wew lads
Gould's so depressing.
>>66964583
That happens if you're croupier for a while and you see tons of people gamble their lives away.
Who /nawty/ here?
What does /147/ think about this man? Is he overrated or is he truly the GOAT of all GOATs?
>>66964672
he's the second best snooker player of all time, hands down
>>66964693
Who's the top GOAT?
>>66964672
Textbook case for manic depression.
>>66964672
>ronnie
>overrated
Probably the one sportsman who isnt
>>66964693
>second best
Has anyone else come to the table with no balls potted yet ask what the 147 prize is and then go on to make the 147 non chalantly smashing in the last black because there is no 147 prize?
No one will ever get close to ronnie.
>>66964723
has anyone else won world championship 7 fucking times or even came close to it?
>>66964723
ronnie at his best is unplayable but hendry's sustained dominance through the 90s is unparalleled
>>66964753
steve davis literally came as close as fucking possible to matching it
>>66964781
>steve davis literally came as close as fucking possible to matching it
yeah, way before hendry. when snooker was played by pub drunks.
>>66964781
Hendry in the 90s is like phil taylor. No decent oposition.
>>66964796
shoulders of giants and all that
>>66964753
How many titles did hendry win during the era that ronnie won his 5 (an era of a far greater number of higher standard players)? None. Thats how many
>>66964753
Jimmy White came close to it
Shaun Murphy needs to die
Is Gould a jew?
Just so that I know who to support/wish carpal tunnel syndrome on.
>Hendry - Ronnie debate
Cross it off, lads.
>>66964672
He won back to back world championships with playing literally one competitive inbetween.He also didn't lose a single session
Hes the GOAT ,and the only thing that's stopped him from breaking more records then he already has is himself
Why are all successful Scottish sportsmen such total pricks? Fucking hate watching us on the fucking TV
>>66964950
requesting that selby picture
>>66965014

>>66965062
Can you record a little chuckle and upload it via voccaro pls
>>66964672
an era of Paul Hunter and this man would have made snooker ten times bigger than it is
>>66965110
Honest question, was Hunter potentially as good as Ronnie? Just below on tier with Higgins? I was too young to remember.

>>66965139
Fuck off ya fat cunt
>>66965118
second only to Ronnie, bigger than Trump and Selby as they are now when it comes to age and prospect, those were different times too
Judd Trump
What a fucking shit name
>>66965118
Not sure if he would have been as good as Ronnie but he was a solid top 16 player. Had a very good record in the Masters and won 3 times but unperformed in the other big touneys
We need more Paul Hunters instead of the usual miserable twats we get in snooker
>tfw at work and actually have to get on
>didn't even see any of Robertson shitting the bed

Right here.
How big is snooker in the east?

Got a fiver on him at 80-1. Joe Perry annoys me for some reason so watch Gentleman Joe give him a twatting.

>a collective figure of /147/s imagination
>>66965969
same on 100-1 here m8
He lost his most recent match vs Perry but his form has been good in general this year and there's been a shit ton of upsets so far so here's hoping for another,

Thank fuck this cunt got knocked out in the last qualifying round. I can't stand him for some reason, he's like that guy at work who thinks his "I'm with stupid" mug makes him funny.
Anyone know when master tickets go on sale? Had a look last night but no info
>>66966026
he must be a poofter
What are you on about Barry
>>66966045
According to wikipedia he has/had a girlfriend, he moved out to Vienna with her but lost form because he didn't have another professional to practice with.

snooker players everyone should dislike:-
Shaun Murphy
Neil Robertson
John Higgins
Steven Maguire
Every chinese one
Mark Selby
Ali Carter (when he's in a bad mood or should I say "shit"-fit")
Just heard the news that the Masters trophy is being renamed in honor of Hunter
A fitting tribute, he was the Master of the Masters
>>66967046
>John Higgins
>every chinese one
no
>>66967046
The Chinese are a great bunch of lads. And Robertson's ok. Put in Hawkins and Perry for being boring.

>>66967085
chinese players are good for the sport
even if you disagree there's no reason to dislike the individual players
>>66967074
Robertson is anti snooker though.
Also he's ginger and a JF cunt with no personality.
>>66967085

>>66967115

Snooker players everyone should like:-
RONNAY
Mark Williams
Dominic Dale
Marco Fu
Matthew Stevens
Alan McManus
Juddernaut Trump
Stuart Bingham
Luca Brecel
Ricky LAD Walden
>>66963446
get a uk proxy and watch it on bbc iplayer
>>66967122
he's cheating the viewing public out of money.
Peter Ebdon, Mark Selby, Neil Roberson and Stuart Bingham are parasites
>>66967279
What's wrong with Robertson? Never understood the hate he gets.
5-3 wenbo
>>66967210
Is Matthew Stevens still a thing?
>>66967288
he calls his lucky escapes skill, where Higgins admits some of his games are ridiculous, Robertson basically slams the balls and cashes in on frustrated opponents
"That shows what the pressure of a game like this can do, even to a top player"
Yeah, and if it can disrupt a top player like Wenbo, it can really throw off the game of a amateur shitter like Trump
6-3 WAAAAAAAAAOHHHHH!

Then cut to now, where he would be happy getting past the first round.

So who are you rooting for /sp/, Ding or Gould?
>>66971765
Based gould for the potential memes
>>66967210
I lived with a guy at university who worked in a restaurant when Matthew Stevens came in, ordered all the most expensive stuff, then left without paying but just left a pile of photos of himself. He sounds like a grade-A gonad to me. I also like the Chinese players, but other than that, your list is pretty accurate.

>>66972491
If you've ever had a temporary office job where most people only work there for a couple of weeks before moving on to something else, Martin Gould is like the depressing guy who has been there for 30 years. Every job like that has one, and it seems like for snooker, that guy is Martin Gould.
What happened to Ding? He was winning loads of tournaments a few years ago and now he's not even in the top 16
Ding doing his thing.
ATTENTION ALL POCKETS
>>66972652
He's lost his kung fu sorcery. He needs to carry more buckets of water up hundreds of steps to remote mountain temples, and use his cue to fight birds while blindfolded, and punch a tree 10,000 times as he recites a poem about dragons.
>>66972652
Terry griffifs started coaching him happened
Is that cheeky blonde ref in this?
>>66967766
He probably never got over Hunter dying. He's always way too nice at the table and he doesn't really have the drive to win stuff. It's really fucking sad, seeing him fade away from the snooker world. He got me a lot of points for my snooker fantasy anti team, though.
>>66973061
This referee is some Chinese guy. They've put him in a Ding match, which smacks of more rigging than the HMS Victory, but whatever.
