Snooker: Random Discussion Thread - Page 18 - Sporting Events and Fantasy Sports

I always love watching this, but the Worldsnooker feed on Facebook never seems to work well in the states. Might have to find some streaming site where I can watch the live coverage. Even though I’ve never seen an actual snooker table in my life, I love watching the Crucible every year.

The full matches are being shown on youtube, not live though but gives you time to fast forward the slow frames

No strong preferences who wins but want at least one finalist who hasn't won before. Williams/ROS/Selby/Higgins final = zzz.

Selby is a boring bastard but can’t say the same for the other three.

Great for skipping ahead between shots whenever Selby's at the table

The last couple off years I've warmed to Barry Hawkins and think he deserves another final...

Meant to add Selby to this. Any of Ronnie/Judd/Robertson taking it is fine with me

I don’t watch any live outside of the World Championships every year. Mostly just following this thread during World Championships time and watching old Ronnie 147 videos got me interested. The immense mental pressure is fascinating to me as someone who plays golf but doesn’t really play billiards at any level above very casual.

Neil Robertson's clearance in frame 11 was awesome. Will it get uploaded to YouTube?

Selby going out would be perfect.

Just got up a feed that I think is live or close to it.

Just made an awful error on a red in the 7th frame.

This could go on forever (Ronnie vs Cahill Frame 1)

Cahill keeping it surprisingly close with Ronnie right now. Ronnie's only gotten one clean runout, the rest of the frames have been competitive.

After watching more Snooker today than I have in the last 350 days combined:

I like Zhao's risk taking style, but his cue ball control seems way behind other top players like Selby, Ding, and Ronnie.
