Ah, I see. snooker.org is probably the best you're going to get then.

Don't know why there's no live scoring on worldsnooker, bloomin' numpties. :(

What happened in the Hendry Cope match,Cope was leading 2-1 and the stream just ended for no apparent reason.

[PatBlock]

Hendry 1 - 0 up on the new Masters Champ.

[trains]

Sportlemon cheers,who'se this Irish guy commentating the Stevens Cope match,no offence but I wish they'd stick to former pro's,difference between Foulds and this guy is obvious tbh.

[cally]

Oh Dear, i fancy my chances against hendry these days i tells ya...lol.

4 out of losses today. Very poor in parts.

[paul180]

is it open for the public to watch

[PatBlock]

Oh Dear, i fancy my chances against hendry these days i tells ya...lol.

4 out of losses today. Very poor in parts.

But very good in parts as well, just not the right ones that's all. :)

And what about Robertson, stayed up till 2.30 this morning celebrating last night's win, gets up and plays 4 best of fives, and all with a nasty bug as well. He must be buzzin'.

-

[cally]

I think robbo was dropping off and waking back up in parts today...lol.

He was looking great one minute then missing silly shots for a bit, half asleep i think. Looked zombie like at tiems sat in chair...:)



Getting sick of all this snooker mun, it's non stop...;):)



Great really eh...;)

[PatBlock]

Getting sick of all this snooker mun, it's non stop...;):)

Great really eh...;)

I know, it's getting almost impossible to organize my life so that I don't miss too much.
Fantastic isn't it! :)

[LittleMissAlexa]

That Robertson century against cope was his 200th in professional competition according to the late statistician Chris Turner's recognition

[PatBlock]

The group 3 final's on shortly, Selby v Robertson.

Robertson's been playing very well, despite a nasty bug he's carrying, and Selby was also chugging along quite nicely, but lost his last two matches to Gould and Stevens.

Not sure which table it's on, but it'll be on one of the links at the top of this thread.

-

[LittleMissAlexa]

The final is on table one

[trains]

Sportlemon cheers,who'se this Irish guy commentating the Stevens Cope match,no offence but I wish they'd stick to former pro's,difference between Foulds and this guy is obvious tbh.
There I go,that bastion of the baize a nation's grown up with..........Michael Mc Mullen.

:rolleyes:

[LittleMissAlexa]

Snookers greatest ever commentator ted lowe wasnt a pro was he? And poor mark selby won every group stage lost in the play offs each time

[trains]

Snookers greatest ever commentator ted lowe wasnt a pro was he? And poor mark selby won every group stage lost in the play offs each time
Did he win an award? The Hendry thing has some tin as a smoke screen at least :)

[PatBlock]

Snookers greatest ever commentator ted lowe wasnt a pro was he?

That may be so, but this guy's no Ted Lowe! ;) He spent most of yesterdays final talking about every other match that Selby and Robertson have ever played, rather than the one they were actually playing. But then, I wonder exactly how much of my £3 a month he's getting? :D


And poor mark selby won every group stage lost in the play offs each time

And he's at it again, won 3 / 3 matches, and 9 / 11 frames, not bad going but he really needs to make it count in the finals.

Did you see the Ebdon v Allen match? Ebdon looked like a man on a mission, he won 3 - 0, which I must admit, I didn't expect.

-

[LittleMissAlexa]

Ebdon is surprising really the way he has been playing this season he would of been lucky to get one frame in the tournament he almost Ebd and flowed please forgive the pun

[LittleMissAlexa]

Ebdon flowed

[cally]

Here we go then, last 2 matches of the evening

ebdon v mark davis

Both my fantasy players for the next tourney, (whichever it is, can;t keeep up with them anymore...lol)

And cope v lee on tother table....

[LittleMissAlexa]

It doesnt seem to be updating on the championship league site does anyone know whats happening

[LittleMissAlexa]

Its the German Masters for the guy who said he couldnt keep

[LittleMissAlexa]

Its the German Masters for the guy who said he couldnt keep up

[PatBlock]

Seems to be OK now.

-

[cally]

Cope 2-0 up on lee

Ebdon and davis looks like going 1-1...

[PatBlock]

Its the German Masters for the guy who said he couldnt keep up

Don't forget the SKY Snooker Shootout! (although I did):D

-

[PatBlock]

ebdon v mark davis

Both my fantasy players for the next tourney...

Now now cally, you know what they say about sarcasm.:p

-

[PatBlock]

Lee's taken the 4th frame to a respotted black.

-

[PatBlock]

Which he won, so it goes to a decider.

-

[coomsey76]

Lee wins the re-spotted black to take it to a decider!!

You beat me too it PatBlock.......:)

[FerruleFox]

Man, can Stephen Lee ever get through the ball?! Great stroke.

[coomsey76]

Nice ton from lee to take the decider..... not vintage stuff from Cope by a long way!!

[PatBlock]

Lee wins the re-spotted black to take it to a decider!!

You beat me too it PatBlock.......:)

Great minds think alike! :)

-

[cally]

Now now cally, you know what they say about sarcasm.:p

-

It wasn't sarcasm though bud, they are both my players in the 'fantasy' snooker thingy...;)


That's it for the snooker for this evening then, no more for a few hrs now...lol...;)

[LittleMissAlexa]

The championship league site went straight from lee vs cope to 2-1 strange

[PatBlock]

It wasn't sarcasm though bud, they are both my players in the 'fantasy' snooker thingy...;)


I know, I was just kidding. :D

-

[cally]

I know, I was just kidding. :D

-

I never missed the fnatasy game this time, but i guess i may aswell have eh....lmao...;);):)

Til morro play good sir...........:)

[PatBlock]

Nice ton from lee to take the decider.....

Yeah, when he plays like that, he looks as good as anyone. Cracking shot from him on 48 to pot the red, split the pack, then come off the cushion for the blue.

-

[trains]

That may be so, but this guy's no Ted Lowe! ;) He spent most of yesterdays final talking about every other match that Selby and Robertson have ever played, rather than the one they were actually playing. But then, I wonder exactly how much of my £3 a month he's getting? :D


Indeed,you wonder who'se running these gigs,its like he took lessons off Dave space aliens Hendon,another 5 odd years of this?
UUGGGGHHHHHHH!!!

[LittleMissAlexa]

Mark is guaranteed top spot again but will it be the semi or the final of the group he will lose in this time

[FerruleFox]

Yeah, Selby is playing well. He just beat Cope 3-0, with almost three centuries. Cope only potted one red the entire match.

[LittleMissAlexa]

Hes dominated every group just choles in the play offs

[LittleMissAlexa]

Chokes you must all think im as thick as a snooker tables leg

[coomsey76]

Nice 128 from Allen to take the opening frame!!

[PatBlock]

Nice 128 from Allen to take the opening frame!!

Selby reciprocates in the 3rd, quality stuff.

-

[PatBlock]

And so Selby reaches yet another final, this time against Mark Davis, can he loose this one as well? He really shouldn't. but....

-

[PatBlock]

First frame to Dark Mavis. :)

-

[PatBlock]

Selby responds to losing the first 2 with a very determined 138.

-

[coomsey76]

Nice 138 clearance from Selby to pull one back..... his 16th century in the Championship league this season, that's pretty impressive going!!:)

[FerruleFox]

Great win for Davis! He made some nice recovery shots in that last frame.

[cally]

Nice win for mark, selby fails yet again....

[trains]

Anyone think the black pocket seemed generous when Davis was on 40 odd and sneaked the red past the pink for the pot in the last?slightly bigger than qualifier pockets but could be wrong

[trains]

Could be the odd camera angle too

[coomsey76]

Next stop for Davis is Higgins in the first round of the German Masters......

I know who you'll be rooting for Cally....!!:):D

[PatBlock]

Strange format this (if I've got it right), players coming in at the latter stages only have 1 or 2 chances to qualify for the finals, but players like Selby who've been in since the start may have had up to 6 chances. Is that right, or have I missed something?

-

[missneworleans]

Selby will collect some more money...doesnt really look that he really wants to get to winners group so far

[FerruleFox]

I think the guys who finish second, third and fourth in each group are automatically entered in the next group. They are joined by three new players (I think). Only the winner goes through to the finals.

[cally]

Next stop for Davis is Higgins in the first round of the German Masters......

I know who you'll be rooting for Cally....!!:):D

oh great start that will be. may aswell have missed out eh....:)

i'm not sure how it work either pat. All i know is the overall winner gets a PL place...lol.

-

Yep your right there bud:).... Cause the players who play in earlier weeks get more of a chance, as long the they keep finishing in the top four in the group they keep rolling over into the next group, as Mark Selby has.

Ryan Day, Ding Junhui, Marco Fu have got the worst deal cause they don't come into play till group 7 in March.....

Hmm, doesn't seem very well thought out does it.

[stephenm2682]

selby is the nearly man at the moment, oh dear

[LittleMissAlexa]

He has hit sixteen tons Won the league stages of every group but still cant win a group final

[stephenm2682]

[LittleMissAlexa]

Or to get nearer to Mark Williams after passing Marco Fu on the centuries table
