Snooker Thread

I will be surprised if this thread gets any replies but the quarter-final between Trump and Bingham is on right now.
I didn't get to see a whole lot of the first week, every time I tried to watch Eurosport was showing Tennis or bicycle races.

Ronnie O'Sullivan has been on the main tour for 30 years but he isn't showing any signs of slowing down.
12-5 ahead against Judd Trump after the first day of the world final.

I hear ya about the replies. Most people don't have a clue what Snooker is. I have played a handful of games. It isn't wildly popular in the U.S. Most of the pool halls I frequented in my misspent youth were 8 or 9 ball straight pool.

I don't know about any opportunities to play snooker anywhere near me but it has become a relatively popular TV sport thanks to Eurosport.

I think it's a great sport to watch and Ronnie O'Sullivan is unbeatable when he's on fire.
There is a reason they call him The Rocket.

I understand why these idiots hate racing but snooker?

They were less successful on table two.

These protesters are the worst, throw the book at em. Make an example out of a couple of them and see how many more we have after that.

Anyways, thread related but also off topic I absolutely LOVE pool. Anytime I go somewhere with a table I usually hang at the table the entire time im there. Once I upgrade to a bigger house a pool table will be one of the first purchases I make.
