  • Snooker gods gave Cahill what he deserved there. Had a couple of pots to go for. Hate it when people, even in local stuff refuse chances in the hope of more points from foul and misses.

      Talking of Parris he's there and could bring along a few to lie on the table but then you'd all zoom in on them and complain about the splices being 3mm out wouldn't you.

      and how can anyone possibly not find this funny

      • It looked like Cahill tried a left-handed shot in that last frame, and missed it by a country mile. He did the same against Selby iirc... I was sitting there with my head in my hands thinking "what are you doing???"... Very unlucky to lose like that but a great pressure clearance.

        • Cahill v Akani full match. I have set the link so it should start from Cahill setting the snooker at 5 - 5.

            After watching this, I have to say I couldn't agree more, there were a couple of pots on and at 60+ ahead he didn't need much to secure the frame.

            For some reason, this situation reminds me of the old saying - never leave a mug a double (on a black ball game). The odds might have been on Cahill's side, but luck doesn't give a stuff about odds.

            Winners take the bull by the horns, they don't wait to be handed it on a plate....

            • Who was the Chinese play who it the blue so hard it came off the table to give his opponent 5 points, and with 18 points left on the table, he cleared up to force the match to a re spotted black and he potted the black and went on to win the match, not sure if the final score was 6-5 on the re spotted black.

                  Not seen misses by that distance from him in a long time.

                    Akani. Look back a page as I already asked the same question.

                    • Is JV commentating this week? It was said a few months ago that he’d been dropped along with WT, but JV was back commentating at the very next tournament, so clearly not the case.

                        No, I think this was Zhao against Wells. Wells potted the last three colours and won on the respotted black, forcing a decider, which he also won.

                        • Doherty leads 4-1 against O'Sullivan. Next shocker on the horizon?

                              ROS may have the same strain of Manmoania that I am just about over after at least 2 weeks of being at death's door; failing that Ken's shoes are borderline cheating as they are that distracting :wink:

                                Yes, sorry. I was thinking of the Cahil match - footage of which was posted before I had my question answered.
