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/?
>>75242354
Me. I've taken most days off. Two weeks of snooker, comfy, and copious amounds of tea.
>>75242366
I was waiting for a thread too, but after 30 minutes I lost patience.
>>75242368
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

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?
>>75242550
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.
>>75242550
Is it not on the BBC sport website? There's a browser add-on called Hulu unblocker or something.
Otherwise try cricfree.sc
>>75242611
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
>>75242713
Imagine the finals. 2 hours x 35 frames. Get your drip-bags ready.

Afternoon cunts, glad to be back. I ALMOST missed even the tripfags here

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?
>>75244669
ayyyy whatsup ya fat ginger cunt
been a while eh
>>75244932
how can so many people not know how to choose trousers that fit them
>>75244986
Murphy looks like a sweaty televangelist. The Chinese lads probably bought their suit in Matalan yesterday.
>>75245013
>The Chinese lads probably bought their suit in Matalan yesterday
mere days after their cousins made them back home
>>75244986
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

>>75245048

GWAN G WILSON
>>75242519
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?
>>75245605
>>75242519
That's the latest one I did.
Gimme current memes and I'll make a new one at some point this weekend
>>75245605
Thanks. Very little has changed, it appears.
>>75245611
Let your opponent go back to table even if you want to concede

Is it considered weird for someone to play against himself (if it's not busy) just for practice?
>this guy again
>>75245672
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
>>75245690
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.
>>75245728
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
>>75245728
also, every time the brown ball is potted you shout "BROWN!" really loudly
GWON RONNIE

Billiards are played on pocketless tables, and the chess vs checkers comparison is apt, with snooker being checkers and 3 cushion billiards being chess.

Why do they always basically bring up Ronnie having mental issues. Seems a bit crude.
>>75280490
Because if he didn't have any mental issues, he would be winning every single competition.

>>75280490
They mollycoddle him way too much.
Comes across a bit patronising, they treat him like a child. That said he acts like a child sometimes so maybe it's deserved.

>It's good to be back, lads.
Innit
+ /180/ (and occassional cycling thread) for me
>>75299369
I pretty much come to /sp/ for /147/, /cyc/, and chicks with guns.
>tfw you're at the family cabin for the Easter holidays in the middle of nowhere and don't have snooker coverage
>>75299369
>>75299376
>>75299389
/147/ and /cyc/ attract pretty much the same kind of people, it seems. People who enjoy sports that seem boring to most people, and comfy threads. I visit both too.
My guilty shitposting pleasure is /f1/, though I'm much more of a lurker there.
>>75299412
I would frequent f1 more often but I haven't been able to watch any of the races for ages
>>75299429
I had the same problem, but yesterday I came across a good stream for Channel 4 on filmon.tv, so I could finally watch it. Same service I'm using for watching snooker on the BBC right now.
>>75299440
filmon is pretty neat, innit. Finally no more shitty pixely streams that die all the time.
>>75299389
>at the family cabin for the Easter holidays in the middle of nowhere
Truly Finnish
Carter to win it all lads
>>75299447
It's pretty comfy desu
>>75299440
>>75299447
acestream is infinitely better, and free
>>75299468
morning lads
>tfw a full day of snooker ahead
nothing like it
What time will Ebdon finish playing ?
>>75299412
/147/ and /tennis/
>>75299536
>tfw still have to make Easter visits so my comfy snooker day is cut short
>>75287342

>>75287342
cheap gags about Judd vs Donald Trump
>>75287749
>that greentext
my word
>>75299616
"Aren't you one perverted autist" gets me every time
I hope Ding/Trump wins it this year la. They deserve it the most IMO.
Honorary mentions for "I wouldn't mind winning" category:
Bing/Hawk
Others I would like to last for a long time, because I have always liked them: R. Day/The Captain/Kyren.
Just fuck off already:
Lelby/Cheatgins/Cuckphy

Why is the final on a school night. Nothing is comfier than watching a final go on late, deep into the the latter frames, some tense tactical battles.
The comfyness is not a full potential, knowing work is waiting the next morning
REEEEEEEE. Might take the day off lads
>>75300230
Is it not on the Sunday before May Day? Or is that not a bank holiday there?
>>75300251
I thought it was on the Monday night, the bank holiday. It's like it should be on a Sunday so they move it to the fake Sunday Monday
>>75300251
Just checked, we have 1st may as a bank holiday. Final is on that Monday
So REEEEEEEE basically
>Long pot success: Bing 39%
>Ebdon 75%
>tfw genuinely can't tell if it's Ding or not at the table at some points
Actually feel bad
[muffled "quietly please, thank you!" in the distance]

Actual state of him coming out to that
can someone give me a quick rundown on /sp/ bro culture?
>>75301185
No, but I can give you a meme
>>75301185
Lurk more.
WHERE'S THE CUE BALL GOING?
>>75301339
well according to this guy >>75298565 it doesn't exist anymore so lurking wouldn't help
is it just the general board culture?
>>75301428
To get a feel for any board culture you need to lurk, and do more of it.
>mfw the qt chinese girl from last year that I fell in love with is back in the audience this afternoon
Sat in the same seat as last time, too. She's as dedicated as the front row Lower League Footy Shirt bloke
>daredevil snooker
>>75301428
yes, but im asking specifically what bro culture was
>>75301544
Just being decent to each other and talking about all sorts as well as the ongoing game.
Now you go in places like /EPL/ and there are literally autists who start spamming and splitting the thread if you mention "non-league" football.
GWAN YAN
>>75301706
>Just being decent to each other and talking about all sorts as well as the ongoing game.
Pretty much. Isn't just confined to /sp/ though, British generals on other boards often also have a lot of light conversation.
>martin gold
>>75301856
Is that the mutated lad that attempts to torture Jessica Alba in Sin City?
This is Hazel's last snooker tournament I believe. She's giving up covering sports this year.
>>75302047
she's only giving up the golf masters lad, probably because it's in the US
i think (hope) she'll still cover the snooker
>>75302047
That's Jason Mohammed or Clare fucking Balding fronting it then.
>>75302047
Only golf, I think she's sticking with the snooker.
>it's a Steve DJs feature
>Steve wearing a Magma T-shirt
Fucking lad
>>75302047
Only golf, she's sticking with the snooker.
100%. There is an interview somewhere.
>>75302211
When I went to see him play a set, he was playing Amon Düül II and Soft Machine. It was great stuff.
>Yan is 17
Looks at least mid 20s.
>>75254186
>>75254863
Seems like most of the female snooker refs are from eastern Europe.
Car keys
>>75302561

Good old eurosport, always there for you when the beeb turns off and no red button.
It doesnt judge that i treat them as second.
Mit stick with them full time desu
Good afternoon lads, what match is everyone watching? Mon Yan
>>75302909
Yeah but you have to deal with adverts.
>>75302946
But getting shitty adverts aimed to Swedish market and home of the olympics/cycling ads between frames is comfy
>>75302933
watching shaun crash and burn
>>75303001
feels good, Yan potting some balls here
moiphy not potted for 40 minutes? he's finished
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aFIbbPfnIyk
This ref spaghetti
>>75303170
What happened?
>>75302983
Also that wierd Eurosport voice
>>75278233
With a load of balls and a snooker cue
>>75302909
You've got access to Eurosport but no red button?
>yawn moify
>>75303279
couple of incidents now. called a free ball incorrectly, moiphy gracefully asked for the shot to be replayed instead so there would be no injustice
and later on she cocked up ball replacement totally, sometimes it takes a while but this was just blatently wrong until the players made her consult the tv
pressure of the cruicible
Is Murphy comfortable playing over this Easter weekend? Will his lord and saviour be happy with him for doing so?
Is Murphy trying to lose?
Comfy tense tactical battle now lads
>>75303319
The Finnish snooker commentator on Eurosport is also absolutely based. Just like their Finnish cycling commentators.
>>75303412
can confirm
GWAN YAN
>>75303412
There are alot of comfy voices. The one I'm talking about its English accent but a twang of the continent, hard to explain. Maybe slightly Scandinavian
>>75303401
hope they get the arena to themselves in the decider
>>75303412
>>75303446
The most comfy Europort snooker commentator here is actually a Belgian guy.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nT7_IZPHHb0
FLUKE FLUKE FLUKE
fluky cunt
fucking hell moiphy
the magician has revealed himself
Yan ;_______;
That fucking fluke. I was ready for him to choke in the decider.
>more snooker in less than an hour
feels good lads
>>75303592
He needed that big time, he was rattling all over the place
>>75303613
Snooker or watch arsenlel choke tho?
>>75303613
>I'll be home by then and get to watch it on the TV instead of streaming through my phone
>tfw

What happened to Brecel? When did he go full JUST? I swear last time I saw him, he looked like a 5 year old
>>75304275
What channel? Cant find it anywhere
First game of this years champs I'm at home in front of proper TV.
/comfy/
>>75304444
Red button mate, 601 on Freeview
>>75304457

>>75304464
You can stream it from the BBC website.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/live/snooker/39339252
>>75302946
And no tennis whatsoever lately.
>>75302983
Cycling on the telly is cancer and Eurosport is the worst offender. The cover 10.000 hours a year of the most boring televised sport in the world.
>>75304512
Ah thanks, I was going through the normal site, not sports and only getting whatever shit is currently on
Just stuck a fiver on Fu lads
>>75244527
trump
>>75304495
I would prefer Ding over Marco.
But it would be cool to see Marco win it some day.
>>75304586
Would like Ding to win it too.
Who is this lad Mark O'Fu?
>ebdon in the studio
Time to buy eurosport subscription then
Brecel will move to Syria and join ISIS if snooker doesn't work out for him this year.
>>75304602
A top Irish lad.
>>75304633
From the beautiful county of Fu.
did anyone hear that noise on bbc comms?
I quite like Ebdon when he's not at a snooker table desu
>>75304728
fancy his bald head?
FU IS WINNING!!!!!!!!
>You've just won third row seats for the final for you and one guest.
Who do take?
What do you wear?
>>75304852
Got to be a classic lower league shirt.
Probably my old man, my mates prefer Barry Hearn's other child, Darts.
WHATEVER YOU DO...
>brecel
>>75304852
>Who do take?
I ask out one of the qt Chinese girls from the previous session on a date.
>What do you wear?
A band shirt.
>>75304852
I'll go on tinder and find the fattest slut possible, and i'll dress up like this guy
>>75304852
My LFC shirt of course and I go all by myself occupying the two seats. Not because I'm fat, but because I can afford it.

I say, the wafflefucker has blown it lads
>>75306605

REFCUE
B R I B E D
didn't really look like a push shot, what do u think lads?
>>75307545
it's fucking impossible. a push would have sent the white ball directly forward after contact
Jason Mohammed actually manages to make Ebdon look likeable by comparison.
>>75307759
Ebdon seems like a top lad, I don't like watching him play but I like him in the studio
>>75307759
Mohammed is the definition of "Jack of all trades, master of fuck all"
WHERE'S THE CUE BALL GOING
>>75307871

Exactly.
>>75308212

>>75308353
He might be secretly gay, but I think he has children
>>75308377
I think I'm having an anorism
