5 May 2014 I had to watch that fucking Palace-Liverpool game in the downstairs of Picadilly's Riley's and then trundle upstairs to watch my favourite sportsman get bummed by this cunt.
Let it be said, redemption is sweet.

Selby was blatantly playing up to it at times as well (rolling up behind balls when other shots were on) so he can't complain at all.
Indeed. If respecting the game is code for "he didn't play into my hands", then no, he didn't do that.Originally Posted by Jimmy Floyd
An maybe, just maybe Mark, you shouldn't be so much of a boring cunt in future and actually try to win rather than trying not to lose.
Look at the state of this shit, for example:
Rewound this on iPlayer and watched it after getting in from work.
Ronnie
Still wasn't his fluent best but the way he trumped THE JESTER at the end of that safety exchange was glorious. Rent free in his head afterwards too.
Wilson doesn't seem the type to purposefully put on the turgid shit so it may be a decent final. What a day of snooker that was.
Ended up down a snooker shaped twitter rabbit hole after the final and stumbled across Stephen Hendry's, where he seemingly just answers (most) questions honestly. https://twitter.com/SHendry775?ref_s...Ctwgr%5Eauthor
Most interesting so far is that he hasn't made a 147 under any circumstances for 5 years now.
Then I discovered that Peter Ebdon is a massive anti vaxxer https://twitter.com/pdebdon
I never had him down as a faith healer.
I like where Hendry says 50% of 'kicks' are actually bad cueing. Always been a bugbear on commentary where they just whitewash shit shots.
Everything O'Sullivan did tonight was intentional. He hadn't lost it at all.
From a month ago:
Genius.
If the time stamp doesn't work it's from 27m50s. "Which match would you replay again if you could?"
There's definitely a difference in Ronnie when he talks to/of someone of his ilk. You can see it whenever it's Hendry, Davies, Higgins or Williams etc.
I'm really glad he stopped Selby though. He's also now got the chance to match his hero in Davies on 6 titles.
That's fucking gold. His line about staying single too, this man speaks to my soul
In response to O'Sullivans comments on the standard of younger players, 50 year old Ken Doherty said...
“I love Ronnie, but I have to say something about that,” admits the 1997 world champion, Ken Doherty, who is still ranked inside the world’s top 64
Kind of wish the crowd wasn't in today. Not hearing "Come on Ronnie!" the past two weeks was quite nice.
This is how it begins, people start preferring fake crowd noiseYesterday's semis would have been something even greater with a crowd.
I like the crowd otherwise. Just chuck anyone out who shouts "Come on Ronnie".
He doesn't even like his fans, he said as much in an interview the other day.
He's won it, what, five times? He doesn't need three-teeth Barry from Barnsley's personal coaching.
Without Barry the man is just a lonely wanker hitting a ball with a stick. We are all Barry.
If anything snooker crowds should be more raucous and annoying.
Fuck off with all your "reeeeeeeef he picked his nose in my peripheral vision!!!!!!" and "ffs I can't do a good snooker if somebody in the back row's phone vibrates
It's a pub/club game. There should be 20 pissed up people staggering about the table at all times, bumping into the players and shouting about the football.
Get the Snooker Vuvuzela out.
Is it on now? Can't see it on the BBC 2 stream i'm watching.....
I'm watching via iPlayer.
This has been shocking.

BBCOne till 16:30 I think (I'm iplayering it).
Ta lads.
I'd forgotten there were crowds back in for this so thought they'd taken me up on the idea of piped in 'oooohs'.
Without wanting to state the obvious, Wilson could have done with winning that first frame, and not missing that red just then.
This is as good as done.
I was gonna say "And it looks like Wilson knows it" but then he always looks like that. For all I can tell he might be having a whale of a time.
I missed this afternoon's session, but the first two frames of this have been abysmal.
This must be the worst Ronnie's played in a final to be six frames ahead by some distance.
More like KRYEN Wilson
Hopefully he stages a series of mini-comebacks so they can keep mentioning that "they call him the warrior" every few frames.
I don't think I've ever seen someone miss a ball so close to a pocket by so much before.
Not quite sure of the mind games benefit of dragging that out there really, certainly beyond it going to 3 snookers (it sort of made sense at first), and then clearing up just sets further mentalist alarm bells off.
I love ken but i can't help but think of ft purcell when i hear him
How long does O’Sullivan usually pout for?
147 here.
Or just 9 then.
Struggles on a simple backspin shot. Yet will now likely go smash a century in.
Or not.
That last one could swing it.
This is the very worst I've seen Ronnie in any match and he's 10-7 up. Surely he wont be as 'bad' again tomorrow?
Was never going to live up, but that was some shit fest.
Feel a bit for Wilson, he deserved to be at least 9-8, weirdly.
Many a stone cold classic is forged in the fires of dreadful sessions, so you never know. If my sandbag theory has anything itnit O'Sullivan will keep it tight/be behind going into 8pm tomorrow before putting his foot on the gas and being back to his best for a few frames.
Give us a 147, please lad.
First man to win at the crucible in three different decades it is then.
I think Kyren will need to lose these shit eating grins if he ever wants to be World Champion.
Getting rid of the designer clobber and Beckham highlights would indicate he's made strides. Trump coming out to I Made It (Cash Money Heroes) with his diamante studded shoes was the limit for that kind of nonsense.
Ronnie winning the session 7-1. Almost complete domination.
It was never going to live up, but that’s up there with the worst ways to spend a few hours.
The fake crowd noise is definitely better than mongs.
That was a touch of class from Kyren.
Fair play to Ronnie. This is the worst he's played to win one, but I thought 5 would be his lot after the last few years.
The last 3 frames against Selby the highlight by a mile.
What sort of cunt shouts "give us a century Ronnie".
Stephen Hendry has entered the World Tour for the next 2 seasons. Just the 8 years after retiring.
That is interesting. Curious to see how he does.
