    Wu was unstoppable last night

    mark turning the screw

    Century to go 7-6 up


    frame 10 was massive - both players in multiple times

    Watching it you could feel that whoever ended up losing it, they would have the stuffing knocked out of them

    Mark took it and has kicked on

    Looks a different player now

    Probably won't get 8 frames played this afternoon

    To me, to you. This is embarrassing in an elite sport event.

    Why haven't they installed a system to replace the balls precisely every time without this comedy skit? It's hardly an impossible feat of technology to project the previous placement onto the table.

    I always wondered why they don’t have a system where lights shine in the colours and placement where the balls were.

    Guff about stuff, and stuff about guff.

    mad frame this



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,533 ✭✭✭ArnoldJRimmer


    strangely riveting viewing



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 61,039 ✭✭✭✭walshb


    what did referee just say???



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,390 ✭✭✭✭gormdubhgorm


    The ref Martel seemed annoyed when yer man on crowd said “rerack” anyway..

    Hendry is losing the will to live in the commentary box. That’s the bit I find funny. He already suggested fouling and potting the black on purpose. 14th frame by the way for those watching back Wu v Allen.

    Guff about stuff, and stuff about guff.

    "House of Games will now be shown at 6.30 on BBC2"

    Could be a.m. the rate they're going…



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,304 ✭✭✭✭ArmaniJeanss


    I can't stop watching.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,909 ✭✭✭Dave_The_Sheep


    It does seem to be just stubbornness at this point on his behalf.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,390 ✭✭✭✭gormdubhgorm


    This is why Billards never took off as a spectator sport.

    Guff about stuff, and stuff about guff.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,072 ✭✭✭DmanDmythDledge


    This is a farce. The black isn't close enough to end up dropping. Should have been a re-rack 15 or 20 minutes ago.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 61,039 ✭✭✭✭walshb


    I think the player behind should lose frame if not willing to try break the stalemate



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 8,037 ✭✭✭jj880


    Shambles.

    And now the ref hushing the crowd up.

    I hope they keep at it.

    Crowd cheering every shot 😂



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,390 ✭✭✭✭gormdubhgorm


    Only then did Martel say anything to the players. Because he knows the crowd are taking the piss out of him indirectly.

    Crowd shaming the Marcel into doing something about it.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 687 ✭✭✭Orban6


    Should go to a re-rack



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 2,669 ✭✭✭Marty Bird


    Allen doesn’t want a re-rack but the Ref has the final decision. Come on Ref get off the pot!

    Holy moly, had the telly on in the background, just turned to pay attention - htf did they wind up like that?? Have rewound as far as I can (31 mins), and I'm still nowhere near the start of the frame!! Going to sit down and watch it through now.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 61,039 ✭✭✭✭walshb


    Referee doesn't need to explain. Just act! He had to be coaxed into this by an official



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 7,883 ✭✭✭Allinall


    Do both players not have to agree?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,390 ✭✭✭✭gormdubhgorm


    Maartel was braver tackling that protester years ago, Than making a rerack decision now.
