    Great shot Ken :pac: A 'forelong' conclusion after that, eh Den? :p Everybody's getting tired and rattled with the overdue delay to this frame's end :pac:

    Every time they say the sponsor's name. My brain says nice of Ronnie to sponsor it - fair play....

    Guff about stuff, and stuff about guff.

    That's two things I'll remember for a long while from this comp (only tuned in today) - "Rokit" , and Ken's Shoes :p

    Have not seen Ken this nervous since he missed that 147 for the car in the Masters.

    That Lilley fella got a great plant, one a pool player would be proud of awkward.
    Fortunate for Ken he is going to get back to the table.

    And that last green, christ that was brave.

    Ken only himself to blame.

    Ken won't be listening to this song for a while after missing that pink

    That was hilarious, Ken missed that pink by a mile.




    4-3 Lilley who said he played rubbish.

    Time for Ken to call it a day, on the main tour anyway.

    Two years in a row in this when he just completely folded with nerves, when he should have won. Signs not good for the main tour.

    Great ambassador for snooker, he has nothing left to prove. No point humiliating himself further, nice sideline commentating for the Beeb so there's a handy few bob in the bank.

    We knew that from watching this last year :pac: Fair play for him (and the rest) for competing; but the standard is moderate at best..

    Walker disappointed the match was over before 'witching hour' :p

    Mon Paddy Wallace :)

    I want Igor to win it now.

    That Jimmy White has won it three times and back to back. He has enough World Titles as far as I am concerned!

    It was gas though he seemed to have the shots and his head just melted completely once he lost that first frame. He looked really edgy.

    Is there any rule about drinking during a frame?
    Maybe a whiskey before the walk on music would sort him out, or maybe orange (vodka) like his hero Alex used to drink?

    Ah feck, I was out until about 8 and completely forgot to tune in again!

    Well done ye all on the commentary, gave me a flavour of what it was like.

    Shame Ken lost!

    This fella puts them up on youtube



    Edited so it has focus on the actual shots - not pre-shot routine etc.

    This Igor v Jimmy game looks good so far 1-0 the Whirlwind.

    Plus I think Patsy should be kept on with the commentary on the regular tour. Commentates like a snooker fan would.

    Jimmy 2-0 up now. His experience telling. Capitalism on Igor's errors. Igor in now.

    Can't agree on Patsy - but it's a good match alright.

    Some great long pots from both of them.

    Igor hanging in there 2-1.
    But just gave Jimmy an easy 'in' fourth frame.

    Igor getting the chances from Jimmy. But not taking them
    Jimmy gone 3-1 after a topsy turvy frame where a lot of shots were missed by both players.

  • Registered Users Posts: 18,921 ✭✭✭✭BonnieSituation


    Now it is definitely 3-3 - hang on a minute does Dennis have control of the applause button?

    Yup. It was gas.

    Why?

    He's not out there embarrassing himself.

    The seniors title is the last big thing he needs. He was always going to be a bit tight in that match.

    When you see how easily they run out of position, it really makes you (me) appreciate the precision of the top players.

    They make it look so easy!

    Same with Hendry. Always making the right decision, but the execution left him.


  • Registered Users Posts: 18,131 ✭✭✭✭gormdubhgorm


    Sats after four frames -

    Jimmy on 90% on the pot success, Igor on 78%
    Safety of both lads in the 60's. Jimmy high 60's Igor low 60's.

    I think Patsy is great. Especially in with Dennis and JV.

    Maybe not on the main tour, but great for the likes of this.
