The Fun Factory Posted April 26, 2022 Share Posted April 26, 2022 Snooker players seem to be getting older while golfers are getting younger. 5 of the 8 quarter finalists are over 40. Yan Bingato is the only player under 30. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always have always will. Bloke is a grade A word removed. Love him, legend. A joy to watch at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trump is looking the best he’s been all tourno though. He has struggled to be his usual fluid self recently 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like Mark - seems like a down to earth bloke but he just has not got going at all today. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Real slow build tension. It was a weird one, like the most perfect and therefore boring 147 you can get. There wasn't any point when he was out of position or had to take a risky shot to keep the 147 alive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 Yes Trump getting better as the tournament goes along. I think hes won 15 out of the last 16 Frames and has he long potting going. Hope he wins it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest av1 Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 Trump is someone that I don’t like but I’ve no idea why really, which probably says more about me than him. I don’t know what it is, his style of play is one I enjoy, he doesn’t seem like a word removed, so I’ve no idea why I don’t like him, I don’t know, I just always seem to want his opponent to win.

His style of play is what endears me to him and I think he should have won more world titles by now. I just cant stand Williams and Higgins.

I’m alway endeared to people that come across humble, and I don’t think it’s an act, he seems like a genuinely nice bloke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sheepyvillian Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 I just cannot watch snooker anymore. As good as Ronnie is, he has zero charisma. His old man is probably to blame for that. I was in Lartin with him, despicable man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He used to be a lad who just smashed the balls about so I liked him, then he had to knuckle down and get more serious to start winning the big trophies and became a bit less likeable. Still, anyone but Higgins for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I seemed to remember he was done for match fixing, but I double checked and he was actually «just» suspended six months for ‘failing to report an illegal approach’ and cleared of the match fixing charges.
