Good morning
who /McGill/ here?
>>67008561
I'm hoping McGill wins but I like Marco too
>spelling his name wrongly
>>67008561
Sweet McGill's rosey cheeks and winning smile
Why is his nickname not "slippin jimmy" mcgill?
Ginger Ninja doing well this morning
Got any stream links for us wagecucks?

I just learned the rules to based snooker and Im realizing how superior it is to pool which ive been playing forever. I actually bought balls t play at home
>>67009062
thank you
>>67009070
well done friendo :^)
>>67009070
>go out to buy snooker balls
>get shot
>>67009070
It's definitely the patrician version of pool
both are great games though
have they ever tried doing a full on aerial view of the table? it's sometimes hard to judge distances with the angle
O'Sullivan, Mark Williams and Ding, watching any of these feels so comfy
giantkiller is a shit nickname, bit patronising
>>67009279
I'm looking positively into a future of small noiseless drones that you could use in small venues. Also I wonder if it's going to be another McGill plays great in Sheffield but average as fuck in the rest of the next season episode.
>Mark Williams is one of only 3 players (after Steve Davis and Stephen Hendry) to win all three triple crown events in one season
was he really that good in his prime?
>>67009355
He still is, he just doesn't fucking bother most of the time. He's not that competitive, he's mostly there having a good time. Basically Jackie Chan.
>>67009338
Why have a drone when you could just attach a camera to the roof
>so inefficient
>>67009338
>player lining up for frame winning shot
>drone crashes and lands on the table, scatting the balls everywhere
>>67009479
>drone fails and kills a player
>>67009447
Because if you're part of a recording crew, you can take those with you and use them at all tournaments without having to figure out solutions for every single venue. Also slow moving shots would be great for perspective.
>>67009517
Not even drones can stop Hirscher.
I wasnt here last night, is Kyren our new boy post Liang choke?
>>67009549
Kylo Ren was my boy all along. Did Liang really choke though? I thought Trump really turned it up a notch and didn't leave Liang many chances and did a good job leaving him cold and off the table.
>>67009583
trump did get better, but wenbo played like shit yesterday compared to the start of the match
>>67009524
>The Crucible Theatre
most of the tournaments are played in theatres/arenas where they have rigs for lights above the tables anyway
You just attach them to the same rigs you hang the lights off
>>67009583
Liang played a little worse
Trump played much better
>tfw got a drink off him
>>67009524
...there are light rigs above the tables anyway?
Remember when Ronnie got a 147 for shits and giggles?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2di8RpAMNQQ
>>67009583
Trump was at full power but that daft green double from Liang is still annoying me.
>>67009549
McGill's ma boy
>>67009603
>>67009620
I'm probably projecting since I'm a musician and dealing with venue organizers is usually a huge pain in the ass, if you have ANY kind of special requests. My impression was they just became less and less common over the years, like they didn't bother anymore, when it should have become easier with tv cameras not having to be mech sized anymore.
>>67009662
>Kings reaction about 1.48
I've got a feeling Ronnie's gonna get a 147 this year
>>67009709
Depends how much money is involved. Obviously for the smaller tournaments they'd be hesitant to do much but for any ranking event I'm sure they'd accommodate whatever they needed
>>67009723
Kings reaction was great
>Hes asking what the prize for maximum break is
>Stream switches to British politics
>Have only talked about Obama so far
A-are you guys cucked?
>>67009797
He's come over here talking about our potential EU exit
>>67009797
Hes over here at present dining with the queen like a pair of proper important twats.
Why is higgins not banned?
>>67009904
He was set up by news of the world and only agreed to throw a few inconsequential frames across a few tournaments.
Got fined and short ban. Think that's reasonable really.
>>67009927
Then why is stephen lee still banned when they had no evidence against him yet higgins literally got caught red handed?
>>67009943
Personally don't think Stephen Lee should have been banned for so long either but admittedly don't know as much about his case.
Ffs Williams. Looks like Holt is taking the session 5-3 atleast
>>67009709
>since I'm a musician
Noice. What do you play?
This cunt always getting a seat next to the players is infuriating.
>>67009985
Williams could probably win another World title if he could be arsed.
>>67010040
when he will die you will miss seeing his fat ass :^( and there will be a random bloke every year from then on
>>67010040
yeah these regulars are always sitting in the same places for years, watching every single session. I'm a bit jelly, I aint' gonna lie...
>>67010022
Bass and piano. Used to be decent enough at guitar, but playing bass kinda interferes with it, so I settled.
>>67010063
Yes absolutely.
Well Holt choked big time. Williams played rubbish and still managed to finish the session 4-4
Is the old medal man still alive? I've been working the past 2 years of the world championship can never see if he's there or not
>>67010484
He's still there. feels good
>>67010077
Awesome.
>>67010077
what sort of band?
I played at tubingen festival a few years ago, it was a nice place
>>67009070
>I actually bought balls t play at home
Snooker tables are fucking massive, and the holes are smaller.
>>67009943
>Then why is stephen lee still banned
Because he is far too fat. He's so stupidly fat that he's an embarrassment.
>>67010654
The one that stuck around is a dance oriented pop rock band, with a little funk in it. I'm mostly into prog and jazz, though.
>>67010838
you're literally the german version of me
I wish I had friends that were into snooker, jazz and 4chan in real life
That was tight
>>67010983
To be honest its hard to convince people that someone hitting a high hat for 18 minutes is worth their time. I wen through the 'I like jazz' phase and came out the other side even more of a cunt. As this post demonstrates.
This McGill/Fu match is cozy as fuck. Pure snooker. Pulling for my boy Marco though its hard to not like McGill.
>>67011011
Both based players. Calm and nice people.
>>67011006
fuck jazz, sweeping arpeggios and 8 finger tabbing ftw
This cunts gunna be over a minute 30 easy.
>>67011006
Do you play though? Jamming in a dark jazz club in the middle of the night is one of the best experiences
>>67011100
*tapping
>>67011107
Oh yeah playing is fun. Its like cricket.
>>67011103
lel, mark allan confirmed for champ
If Shaun Murphy ever makes it onto the commentary team that's my snooker watching days over.
>>67011137
He would never shut up
>>67011137
Because he is world champion I am sure he will be, luckily he has still a lot years as a player in front of him
It's time.
>>67011137
That's not gonna happen, way too many people hate him. Also just listen to that dude. No. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OXg0288l62w
>>67010983
It always sounds nice in theory, but rarely works out because being too similar doesn't make a good friendship. Having some interests in common is nice, but not necessarily going to stop this drifting apart shit that essentially makes up adulthood.
>>67011166
Not every world champion will make it into a commentary box
Especially now that there isn't a lot of single player domination
There would just be too many of them
damn kicks
>>67011240
Murphy's already part of the broadcast team in all those featurettes they do. Its a safe bet that he'll end up on commentary
>tfw you take a afternoon nap and leave the Snooker commentary on
>>67010838
>>67010983
Based Jazzbros.
>>67012084
I didn't see any of those. Yeah, that's probably bad. Maybe they won't keep him, if the viewers drop too hard, when he's on.
>>67010459
My mum got asked out on a date by Mark Williams.
She said she turned him down because he seemed boring.
She diddnt know who he was even though this was like 3 years after he won his World title.
>tfw Mark Williams could have been your step daddy and you could have shared beers and bantz with him at the snooker club
Feels bad man
>Selby struggling against Baird
>Carter struggling against McSnorus
Sheffield is being weird again.
>>67012252
I can see that happening. He's not the prettiest fella either.
>>67012590
He and his wife Joanne have three sons: Connor (born April 2004),[3] Kian (born 2007)[94] and Joel (born 2013).
He won his first WC title in 2001. So troll harder m8!
>>67012743
I misquoted.
It should have been this faggot here
>>67012252
Sup boys, just arrived home and turned on the tv. How's the MacManus v Carter match so far?

He looks like the kid who tells on everybody with the current Paul Scholes look

>>67014895
I saw him in the Cock in Worsley once. None of my mates knew who was. Challenged him to a game of pool and he politely declined.
>>67016002
Is that who the commentator who is giving me cancer is?
Who else /lifelong/ Williams fan here?
I just love his cue action and his eccentric way of leaning in for a shot.
>>67016091
>67016091
Yes he also has a song called 'I am a clown'
At least he's self aware....
>>67016091
Yeah, Ebdon and Terry Griffiths on comms
>>67016018
Ah well, at least you asked. I played Dean Windass at pool in a pub in the middle of his post-career suicide attempts. Wish I'd never asked.
>>67016268
I know the Welsh cunt. Never heard Ebdon speak so much to recognise his voice
Worst combo ever
>tfw finished for 10pm
>>67016245
As a Welshman, I'm right with you.
He seems to have O'Sullivan's lack of giving a fuck but is not a whiney little diva.
Can't watch tomorrow. Goodnight, m8s.
>>67016303
Well put.
>>67016268
>Wish I'd never asked
Did he lose continuously and insist on playing you over and over and over until he beat you and then went on a big one about how he's the best and you're shit?
He seems that type
>>67016320
>tfw no Austria in /147/
We've lost our very own Coventry shirt guy
>>67015155
Funny but entirely plausible
>>67016337
Not far off, he was absolutely battered and probably in a very dark place.
At first he insisted I put in £20 "for charity", which not being a melt I didn't.
Played three games, I won every one, about midway through the second one he starts chatting up this absolute skank and telling me that he's going to marry her and to give her a kiss. After the third game he gave me about £3.20 and told me to fuck off.
>>67009355
Unbeatable.
>#1 long potter to ever play in his prime
>strong break building
Hard to play safety against someone who can pot anything from distance.

Notice how ronnie never gets kicks? Its because he can actually cue. Kicks happen to shit tier cueists
Ebdon just doesnt understand the subtlety required to be a good snooker commentator
did I miss The Torturer? been away from tv/internet all day

I am really glad that that didn't happen. I think that snooker isn't that popular over there as they are trying to show. Just look at the attendance at their tourneys, there are always half empty venues.
