  • What a player that Moody is, how many times does he address the shot and duck left before he cue's. Even Wilsonesque stroking of the cue every time about 10 times.


  • German Masters - Ali Carter beat Tom Ford 10-3 in the final

    No Snooker this week, Champions league next week and Welsh Open the following.

    The crucible is in sight, not long now. Not sure whether i will have time to do a prediction comp this year @paulie8290 fancy running it if you can or anyone else.

    I lied, Champions league snooker is on as we speak. It popped up on my FB so find on there , currently Neil Robertson v Robert Milkins (semi finalist last week) 

    Group:
    John Higgins
    Noppon
    Guodong
    Selt
    Gilbert
    Milkins
    Robertson 
  • Yesterdays scores:
    Robbo 3-2 Higgins
    Guodong 3-2 Noppon
    Selt 3-0 Milkins
    Gilbert 3-2 Guodong
    Selt 3-1 Noppon
    Robbo 3-0 Gilbert
    Guodong 3-1 Higgins (Highest break Guodong141)
    Milkins 3-2 Gilbert
    Higgins 3-2 Noppon
    Guodong 3-1 Robbo
    Robbo 3-0 Milkins
    Selt 3-0 Gilbert

    I always like to follow this, however it is a short format so the results can be taken with a pinch of salt. This was being streamed on FB under Champions league snooker if anyone wants to follow.

    Top 4 qualify, 5th will play the next day/group. 

    Kicks off 11am. 
  • Watched the German masters final. No contest really. Ford gave up for the last couple of frames. 

    Could never get totally into the champions league. Watched many a game where one player doesn't start well and that's it. Surprised no TV network has it other than it being on Facebook though.

    I would sort of agree, although changing the format so no draws does help. Higgins needed to win his last game yesterday to get into the 4 place play off, then went on to win beating Selt 3-1 in the final. 
    Higgins wins group 5

    So we lose Higgins, who progresses. Next group(6) today/tomorrow:
    Guodong, Selt, Robbo & Milkins 
    Yuelong, Mcgill and Perry join them. 

    Starts at 11am, on FB/Youtube and most likely betting sites. (Just search Champions league snooker and it will come up)

    There have never been draws in the non ranking version of it

    It gets so confusing now there are 2 tournaments with the same name they really need to rename one of them

    The non ranking version has been running since 2008 originally at Crondon Park in essex which is best of 5

    Then during covid they created the new one as a ranking event for all 128 players who wanted to enter as the original one is invite only,  thats the one that is best of 4 with draws

    You can pay to watch both tables here

    Sorry for lack of updates last week, i was following the Welsh Open and it was quite exciting in terms of the bet victor bonus race and also players who could get into Players this week. 

    Milkins beat Murphy in the final, to win £80k for the title, following his recent win in Gibraltar. He got a £150,000 for overtaking Ali Carter by winning the title, so it was huge. Really happy for him and he has found a bit of form, Murphy did have a 147 earlier in the tournament but didn't really quite perform in the final. He's also due to make a minimum of £70k + based on tournaments he gets in now for winning the title.

    Yesterday's players Championship rests:
    Joe O'Connor 6-3 Mark Allen
    Ryan Day 6-2 Chris Wakelin

    Todays matches:
    1pm: K Wilson v Yuelong
    1pm: Murphy v Selby 
    7pm: Carter v Trump
    7pm: Milkins v Ford

    A reminder the players who missed out, Ronnie, Neil Robertson, Higgins, Williams (17th IRRC), Hawkins, Maguire. This event is for the top 16 in the One year ranking list. Ronnie's titles were both non-ranking so don't count
  • meant to post this last week  -Ali Carter re number of pro's / prize money etc

    100% this is true, Milkins said going into this event that before his win in Gibraltar its ben the toughest few years for him, in the past he has never really struggled but was in debt and put a lot of pressure on him. Now he has won 2 events and the bonus etc. he is now fortunate, however there are many out of the top 16 who are literally struggling.

    Petrov made a good point the other day, whilst the Bet Victor bonus is nice, they could have used the money maybe for an event without the top players which could help, i get why that will never happen and the bonus is clearly an incentive to do well in their sponsored events. But it does make you think, how they can do better when in the past Milkins who has probably been a 16-64 player most of his career and managed, there is more money in the game now so it should be spread around really.

  • Zhao Xintong and Yan Bingtao will miss the 2023 World Snooker Championship as they await the outcome of a match-fixing investigation.

    They are among 10 Chinese players facing fixing charges who will remain suspended until the end of the season.

    Zhao is ranked ninth in the world and Yan is 19th.

    It has been announced their disciplinary hearings will start on 24 April, which is during the World Championship at the Crucible.

  • Selby wins the WST Classic! 

    The comp was a replacement, i think for Turkish masters? not 100% but Selby defeats Pang Junxu 6-2 to win.

    (I probably won't be able to update until Tuesday, which is when Judgement day starts and the final stage where we will have 16 Qualifiers ready by Wednesday late/Thursday early hours) 
  • Its of a tricky one with loads of games to fill in, but none of the old guard made it through to Judgement day: Hendry, Ken Doherty, Jimmy White, nor did any of the female players

    So this brings us to one of the most hectic couple of days, Judgement day! 8 will qualify by the end of today/early hours tomorrow and the final 8 will be Wednesday night/ Thursday early hours. Judgement day is broadcast live on both FB and Youtube every year and they normally flick through the tables to catch the key points and update. 

    Judgement Day Part 1, 11am, 5pm
    Mcgill v Yupeng
    Noppon v Zhang Anda
    Dott v Selt
    Un Nooh v Ricky Walden
    Si Jihai v Jordan Brown
    Chris Wakelin v Wu Yize
    Fan Zhengyi v Stephen Maguire
    Jak Jones v Barry Hawkins

    Part 2 (Wednesday)
    Ryan Day v Scott Donaldson
    Xu Si v Pang Junxu
    Hamilton v Robertson
    Slessor v Yuelong
    Vafaei v Jackson Page
    Higginson v Grace
    Mark Davis v Joe Perry
    Matthew Stevens v David Gilbert

    The draw for the crucible is Thursday Morning, it starts Saturday... I am there Monday eve :) 

  • 8 have qualified for the Crucible, 8 to go today (11am start)

    Mcgill 
    Noppon 
    Selt
    Ricky Walden
    Si Jihai 
    Wu Yize
    Fan Zhengyi 
    Jak Jones

    So Barry Hawkins will not be at the Crucible for the first time since 2006/7 , Dott is out, Maguire, a couple deciders in there and at the halfway stage only a couple were 6-3 the rest all 5-4, one of them was overturned Wu Yize v Wakelin.

    More drama today! 
  • This thread needs @paulie8290, hope you are well mate! I do miss you on here, but understand why you don't frequent as much nowadays. Any predictions for this years worlds? feels to me it might be quite open couple of with a lot of the top players not firing, although Selby looks a good shout
  • Brutal finish in Mark Davis v Joe Perry match. 9-9, Davis clearing up needs just the pink, middle distance pot, misses and Perry pots a good black to win. Davis drops off the tour for the first time since 1992.

    very! i actually had Joe Perry for a bet so was watching it, looked like Davis had it, the pink wasn't formality but you expected him to get it. Nearly fluked the pink too but left over the hole and a long black. 

    The draw is just on now on BBC sport 5 live

  • big chance for Allen and Wilson this year as no one that i have seen is in good form. Possibly even Lisowski and Ding. though form has never stopped the big boys like Ronnie and co from finding their form when needed.
