    When did Ken Doherty start this darlin of Dublin nickname?


    Should've stuck with the crafty

    That's a Dennis Taylor issued name if I recall?

    I fancy Crafty, I think he's almost as good as a top 64 player :pac:

    Can't see it priced up yet though, but I reckon Ken be favourite.

    EDIT I See some books have it priced now.
    Better prices available online but PP
    have Jimmy 5/4 & Ken 4/7 (maybe shop prices different; they usually are)
    Best prices Jimmy is 7/5 with a couple,
    and Ken 4/6 with 2 from what I can see.

    Wasn't expecting the final to be best of 9 with it on the same day as the semi's, which was best of 7.

    Always liked Ken's cadence around the table. Whether he's playing good or bad he just gets on with it.

    Jimmy not at the races at all. 1 good pot the height of it. Ken looking good here to go 3 - 0 up.
    Snookers required stage. Jim probably concede. And does - 'Crafty' up by 3 frames to Nil.

    This could be over quicker than it takes Dennis to think up a corny quip.




    On no, I'm at it now.

    Jimmy can play a bit, only in spells though... Struggling to get a decent break here.

    Ken should have gone into the pack there, even with that one red available.

    I don't fully understand the push shot rule. If the red wasn't touching the white and the ref didn't call touching ball, why does it have to be a foul if the closest red moves. So long as he doesn't strike the white twice.

    Jimmy saw nothing wrong with it and he's not one to shy away from calling a foul on himself in the biggest of matches.

    I have to look back on that one again. It was declared touching ball so the touched red cannot move, otherwise that's a push.

    But there the touching ball didn't seem to move, but an adjacent ball did move, which means he must have pushed the touching ball. If was a funny one for sure.

    Didn't hear the touching ball call. Then it was a foul and Jimmy should have seen/called it. Well he shouldn't have played the shot really.

    I'm not sure what the situation was to be honest. I'll rewind when it's over.

    Jimmy takes on a long pot and wobbles in the pocket. Didn't leave Ken much to go at.

    Ken takes on a risky red, misses, leaves Jimmy in, and he's on a break now.

    Jimmy looses position after a 20 odd break, and plays safe.

    Ken's safety goes wrong, leaving Jimmy a mid length red to get in. And he gets. it.

    Jimmy in the balls now, should rack up a few points here if he keeps in position.
