Anyway, here's another snookery day and off we go with John Higgins v Stephen Hendry, which is a match I'm in two minds about. I want John to win, I want Stephen to win; I want them BOTH to win! Most of all I want to see Stephen playing well ( Read more... )

I just found an interesting interview with the Hig. It says 9th Oct 2008, so it should be nice and fresh, but you basically never know with the intarwebz.

Anyway: Linkage to Wales and Wales West News.

For those who are too lazy to click:

Oh God, the draw, the ( draw was evil. )

Stephen, Stephen, Stephen... WTF?! 4-0 to Jamie Cope.

My secret theory, which is now no longer a secret, is that he was too keen to impress friends and family. He's been absolutely PANTS so far. And Jamie's been good, but not THAT good, he's been throwing away chances too, but not on that scale.

Update: 4-1. At least one pity frame. Cope's back ( Read more... )

Oh Ali...! Ali Ali Ali.

Next time. You'll get him next time!

I'm disappointed he lost, but I'm happy that he played a good match against Ronnie. And I'm pished.

At least I won't have to spend tomorrow indoors, watching snooker. No way in hell am I watching Harold and ROS. No way, Jose.

Where am I?

As long as Dave Harold beat - nay! made minced meat out of - Stephen Maguire this must be a parallel dimension. There might be Daleks and Cybermen around the very next corner, or I might open the door, walk out and find that giraffes are in charge.

Be that as it may - I need the Doctor now. He can make it all good - go back in time ( Read more... )

Ok, this is sick. Dave 'Standstill' Harold is not supposed to be able to lead Stephen Maguire 2-0.

Hello! Reality! Come back!

3-0!

Someone get a Tardis, I want back to the Reality I know.

I'm still enthusiastic about the snooker, a couple of days into the tournie. Here is some random babble:

Yay! for Stephen, John and Ryan making it through to the next round, although Ryan seems to have had a hard time with Fu, going from 4-1 to 4-4 and finally Fu broke down on 58 in the 9th frame. *phew ( Read more... )

The snooker season 2008/09 has started :D ( Read more... )

I really wanted to just write a light-hearted long entry about Berlin (fucking marvellous), but instead I'm going to rant a bit, because snooker is in a bad state now. Snooker is not being good and quite frankly I think the WSA board has deserved a spanking (unless they are into that sort of thing, F1 *coughs ( Read more... )
