Get in Ding!

[daffie]

It would be fitting of Ding can make another century after this one...he would break Henry's record and it would also be the record 87th in this year WC.

Agree with everything you just said.Proves the winner has the best all round game, not just the best break builder.

Steve Davis should be knighted, the only snooker related person I feel who deserves one.

Couldn't agree more about Steve being knighted - I can never understand how other sportsmen get these honours after winning a couple of titles, Steve and also Stephen Hendry have had careers that have lasted decades with dozens of titles!

Jud's green was the hands down winner AFAIC

wasn't even in the short list ?

My favourite this year was a ball along the black cushion, by Liang. Absoluetly walloped it in.

Yes I remember that one...absolutely incredible shot that was!

I swear I am not just being anti-Selby here but I don't think his should have been shot of the tournament. It looked great because of where it landed by the black but he couldn't have predicted that. Don't get me wrong, it was a great shot, but the three ball plants were better

My pick was the shot by Fu.

same here

The SD piece was great

Another touching tribute to Steve Davis and I need to buy a VHS player again so I can start recording all the mid session pieces the BBC make. Isn't it ironic that one of the most poker faced players turns out to be an emotional guy. I loved how he spoke of his dad's highest break being 58 and Steve talked him through every shot and the picture of him and his dad with two Rotties. I had Rotties and they are wonderful dogs.

The level of Snooker over the last few days has been the best I've ever seen and I actually like the longer frames where the players are having to call on everything in their armoury to win. The one break frames are good to watch but not very dramatic.

Hear Hear. Brought tears to my eyes as well. Thank you for all the memories Steve!

I bet I blubbed more that the pair of you together. The bit about his dad selling his soul for that final frame had me in bits.

Selby won bbc shot of the championship... Let's hope that is all he win


Cmon Ding

That was a lovely film about Davis, brought tears to my eyes. I was always a Higgins fan from the early 80's, but as I have grown up I have come to have the utmost respect, and love for Davis. Tremendous man, and a great, great player. Love him.
