Snooker loopy nuts are we
based, I was waiting for a thread.
who /twoweeksofpurecomfy/ here?
>Lmaoby
Yes, finally a thread, pity I have to go to school.
What are your snooker marathon snacks /147/?
Me. I've taken most days off. Two weeks of snooker, comfy, and copious amounds of tea.
I was waiting for a thread too, but after 30 minutes I lost patience.
Just went to the shops there now, really busy with people buying lots of stuff for tomorrow.
Got 4 big bags of Space Raiders, 3 pickled onion and 1 beef. A few of the local craft beers, 2 ales, a pilsner and a stout. Some chocolate hobnobs and a pile of fruit to make me feel less shit.
>[x] lower league football shirt in the crowd
got some salted doritos I'm going to make nachos with
Sheffield seems comfy
I have salmiak candy and a fuet, but I try to contain myself.
Already failing at containing myself
Was that a woof or a sneeze?
cue balls!!!!!!
Does anyone have last year's bingo?
Nice shot
>ronnie's 5 minute 147 was 20 years ago this week
Anyone got McGill - Maguire stream?
It's on BBC's red button and their website at least. Not sure where else it's streamed for us continentals.
Good morning lads. Shouldn't have been watching Rogue One till 4am.
Shame how the Worlds is the last bastion of proper long-form Snooker. At least Barry Hearn got told where to shove the Snooker Shootout.
Is it not on the BBC sport website? There's a browser add-on called Hulu unblocker or something.
Otherwise try cricfree.sc
It's Hola, but BBC keeps getting better at recognizing it, so it might take frustratingly many attempts to be able to watch it.
>Fergal broke the record for longest frame ever (two hours and three minutes) just to get Zested
Imagine the finals. 2 hours x 35 frames. Get your drip-bags ready.
WE ARE BACK
Missed you all, lads. Time to get comfy and enjoy the next two weeks.

Coverage is back. BBC1 now.
Shhh Fergie, it will all be over soon....
Please use my OP image for the next thread lads, I have only seen it used once in the two years or so.
whos your pick to win it this year?
Afternoon cunts, glad to be back. I ALMOST missed even the tripfags here
STAPH SELBY HE'S DEAD ALREADY
I remember seeing it quite a bit t b h
Saved for future use.
I had neglected to save images from last year so I had to find a generic google snooker image for this thread.
What was Rpmmie thinking?
ayyyy whatsup ya fat ginger cunt
been a while eh
how can so many people not know how to choose trousers that fit them
Murphy looks like a sweaty televangelist. The Chinese lads probably bought their suit in Matalan yesterday.
>The Chinese lads probably bought their suit in Matalan yesterday
mere days after their cousins made them back home
Because they have to look like they fit when they are sat down because god forbid you show your fucking socks.
Pain in the arse when trousers are too long and sit on top of shoes, look a right mess desu.
They still persevere with the pseudo-science?
>rory mccleod's sponsor
>Trump vs ISIS
you can't make this up
Kek. From all I've heard the Chinese players live in shitty bedsits near a snooker academy in Sheffield, and don't do fuck all else.
Another year has gone so quickly.
/OurBoy/
I know lad, get's quicker and quicker as you get older too.
no pls
who swore?
FUUUU
...
Imagine spending your life being a shit snooker player unable to make it as a proper pro
I've made like 4 threads this year with that image you drip. Some gaylord even asked me to stop.
Stupid, sexy Selby.
alri, lad.
Lads pls, I ain't ready for feels yet.
missed a 9 darter on thursday
>Going Home
>Looks like a bald Jez from Peep Show
Okay, I like this boy.
GWAN G WILSON
I have the 2015 bingo
Looks like I'll be taking up playing snooker and pool as a hobby soon. I've started watching snooker during last year's world championship and I love it.
In a month or two, I'll move back to my hometown, close to three snooker/pool cafe's. One offers snooker lessons on sundays, for the regular hourly snooker fee. Another one offers free pool in the afternoons.
Any conventions or unwritten rules I should know about?
That's the latest one I did.
Gimme current memes and I'll make a new one at some point this weekend
Thanks. Very little has changed, it appears.
Let your opponent go back to table even if you want to concede
Apologise for everything even slightly flukey
Don't stick the cue up your arse
you have to wear a suit
...I know
>mfw
Is it considered weird for someone to play against himself (if it's not busy) just for practice?
>this guy again
I've done it and you'll see plenty doing it too. As long as there isn't a pair of people waiting to play you're fine
Thanks for your answers.
>As long as there isn't a pair of people waiting to play you're fine
So common sense and common decency then? I think I could do that.
I'll probably figure the rest out just by being there.
It's generally a rule of clubs, rather an a case of decency. If people are waiting to play they get preference over those practising on their own
also, every time the brown ball is potted you shout "BROWN!" really loudly
GWON RONNIE
in the UK lots of dodgy people hang around in snooker halls so i guess you could become part of gang
#Can'tGWONtheRon
>G-ary W-ils-ON
You wonder how much underground crime money Ronnie has laundered through his "pal" Damien Hirst and his shitty modern art which is worth millions (allegedly).
It all makes sense now
Is G Wilson trained by Ebdon by any chance?
You're not going to win, fucking get on with it
That cue ball
!147
bit of a stretch.
Me and him and them and me.
Ebdon is acutally in this years World Snooker Championship
>tfw Bingham v Ebdon
he just bloody loves snooker, that lad
Medal Man is still alive!
Never knew Sheffield was a jungle desu
