I know it's not the most fast paced exciting sport in the world but I like to play and watch a bit of snooker.
Anyone else going to be watching the World Championships that starts on saturday?

I love it mate, massive Ronnie fan!!

I'll be watching as much as possible, i went to Wembley a few years to see a championship, really enjoyed it!!

Do you know the player Steven Lee??

Yes I know most of the players (not personally of course)
Been told I look like Stephen Lee a few times lol

Oh really, well i was a member at his Dad's Snooker club for years, went to the same secondary school as him all be it a few years below and lived directly behind him when i was a lot younger. Used to watch him practicing from my bedroom window

Such a talented guy, just wish he could shift some weight and focus a bit more, his cue power is phenomenal

he does have a lot of cue power.

did you see this...

Yeh i did, he drives me mad sometimes, he will never reach the levels he should have in the game, easily the most talented player of all time but just seems so disinterested sometimes

love snooker

I quite like watching and playing, its just a lot harder than pool...

Steve Davis & Mark King your local guys Kenny

Both Romford Boys..............

Nice one

Bit of willy waving guys, whats ur highest break??

Im happy potting 5 or 6 balls tbh and keeping the bloody white under control

I still love watching this, Ronnie O'sullivan Fastest ever 147 - 5MINS 20SECS

I've cleared green to black once before, colours not on their spots
and got 3 reds 3 blacks once.

I don't play enough to be good enough to do a decent break

I don't mind abit of snooker! Played a little with Stephen Hendry at Pontins one year! Was only about 9 or so at the time mind :| got a picture of me and him somewhere with my horrific 90s bowl cut!

I still like to watch but don't play much at all!

Off to play a bit of pool instead tonight

yeah its nice when you pot a few balls in 1 break

I can pot the cue ball quite regularly

i have been known to do that too

I loooove watching snooker! For some weird reason its quite relaxing!
I cant play snooker for sh1t though but I do like to have a game of pool when im at the pub with my mates (very rarely)

My mum use to work in my uncles snooker hall and he was selling it at the time (sold now) and Ronnie O Sullivan use to play their when he was younger and two guys came in to view the hall with interest of buying and one of them was talking to my mum and she said "well you know Ronnie O Sullivan use to play on that table, apparently he came in here quite often when he was young" to which the bloke turned round and said "That IS Ronnie over there"

Gota love mums!

So, who's gonna win the title @ The Crucible??

Amazing line up for the 1/4 finals.............

Higgins Williams about to start
I hope Williams wins actually. I like him and he hasn't been up the top for a while. Getting back there now with the 2010 UK champ runner up spot last year

He is a good shout for it this week..........

Although Ding is always there or there abouts in tournaments

Ding 5-3 down at the moment.... Don't rule him out just yet though...

O.K so called snooker fans .. What is YOUR highest brake?

I'll start.

Down the local social club once a Month with my mates from school... My highest.....

27...

uh i think i posted mine up there somewhere, i may be wrong tho:

Red Black x3 = 24, perfectly happy with that tbh

Come on Jimmy White

My highest break is a red then black then red.....end of break

Judd Trump is looking good, 10 matches unbeaten to this point, won the China Open and tipped as the next big star.......

Higgins Trump final, 4-4 after the first session. second one about to start

Anyone watching, Trump is amazing at 21

my highest break is 23 red, black, red, black, red, pink im happy with that. Judd Trump is amazing nothing seems to faze him future star.

10 - 7 up after day 1, today is gonna be a cracker

14-14, come on Judd

Things are getting exciting

Come on Judd you can do it

Anyone else watching it?

Nooooo

Well done to Higgins though

Not bad to go to the final at 21 though for Trump....oh and £125,000 prize money

think i turned it on at the right time... last shot hah

Haha, you missed all the action, much better than that football rubbish

I was soo tired last night I went to sleep when the score was 16-14.
I think the 4 or 5 in a row for Higgins from 12-9 really knocked it out of Trump
Shame, but a future world champ for sure (although we say that about Ding and he hasn't won yet either)

I caught the end. His time will come

What a great final..............

I love the way Trump really goes for his shots and is super agressive although he will probably have to tone it down a bit to really succeed. But, a future star for sure!!

He's had a damn good month, Won the China Open, Runner up in The World Champs

Such a shame, really wanted Trump to win.

The majority did but Higgings played very well............

Yes his experience won the match, i think the only downfall i could see with Trump was his ability in getting out of safety shots but i still think he is going to do very well this season.

COME ON DONALD
