Ditto.

I LOVE playing snooker :k::k::k:

Sadly, where I live you wont find any snooker parlour. But a friend of mine bought one 2 yrs back.

Watching snooker is not that fun.

I love it. Me 'n my yaar play snooker everyday.

I love watching it. Last night I watched O'sullivan make the second fastest 147 break. It was a delight to watch that. Did anyone else watch it too?

i only watched the first few frames of the match

usually i wait till the later rounds before watching every single match :D

I do watch snooker from time to time.

I support Stephen Hendry but do enjoy watching Higgins, Peter Ebdon, Steve Davis, Ronnie' O Sullivan and William

but don't like Ken Doherty at all

O’Sullivan enters record books](Yahoo is part of the Yahoo family of brands.)

SHEFFIELD (Reuters) - Ronnie O’Sullivan has entered the record books after becoming the first player to record two 147 breaks at the Crucible Theatre.

His latest maximum break, during the world championship first-round clash with Hong Kong’s Marco Fu on Tuesday, comes six years after his first at the same venue.

O’Sullivan cleared the table in the seventh frame, a feat that could earn him 169,000 pounds – 147,000 for the maximum and 22,000 for the top break – if it is not equalled during the tournament.

It was an otherwise disappointing opening session for O’Sullivan, who won the world title two years ago, with Fu posting a surprise 6-3 lead at the close.

Fu now needs four more frames to record a shock win when play resumes on Wednesday afternoon.

World number four John Higgins was forced to work hard to beat qualifier Ian McCulloch in his first-round match.

McCulloch knocked in breaks of 100 and 94 to cut Higgins’ lead to just two frames at 9-7. But a missed yellow in the 17th frame allowed Higgins to clear up and complete a 10-7 win.

“I’m delighted to get through,” said a relieved Higgins, winner of the tournament in 1998. “Ian played some great stuff to get back into the match and he’s definitely going places.”

GREAT SEASON

Higgins will face lowly-ranked qualifier Sean Storey in the second round, but he insists the tie is not a mere formality.

“He’s had a great season and I’m not going to take the match lightly,” added the 27-year-old Scot.

Thailand’s James Wattana has a 6-3 lead over Jimmy White in their first round encounter.

Wattana went 4-0 up before White cut his advantage to one frame by winning the next three. But Wattana, who had to qualify for the tournament, edged the last two frames of the afternoon to regain control.

Another qualifier, Tony Drago from Malta, will resume in his first-round match against Joe Swail with a 5-4 lead.

Drago produced a typical display of attacking snooker to go 4-0 up before the dogged Swail rallied.

The world No.16 claimed four out of the last five frames of the session to cut Drago’s lead to a single frame.

I play "cut-throat" version, which allows three players to compete. BTW is there any difference between "billiard", "snooker", "pool"?

i loooove da game. pool snooker billiards whatever.

yeh i watched it too it was so gr8t to watch ronnie make a 147 break but so sad that he lost the match 10-6 and was out of da championship

Jimmy White beat Wattana and went on to the second round. He is one of my favourities.

jimmy is gonna play stephen lee in da next round tommoorow after noon he'll win coz he's da whirlwind

The following is the quarter finals line up:

Peter Ebdon V Paul Hunter

Ken Doherty V John Higgins

Mark Williams V Stephen Hendry

Stephen Lee V Marco Fu.

The sensation so far has been Marco Fu while the best match of the tournament was one between Ken Doherty and Graeme Dott, went right down the wire 13/12. Fantastic.

i’m so upset becoz JIMMY WHITE LOST :frowning: :frowning: :frowning: :crying: :crying:

I am so upset that Hendry lost again to Mark Williams and Higgins might loose to Doherty. All my best wishes are now with the third Scot, Peter Ebdon.

peter ebdon is english not a scotsmen

Haven’t played snooker in years. Neighbor growing up had a snooker table in the basement. Had hours of fun playing that game.

Mostly in the U.S. find pool.

Last pool tourniment I was in… sunk the 8 ball on the break :hula:

Always an amature.

Though once I did sink a shot that was a complicated bank… 4 hits to the rim and then the ball…and believe it or not… sunk it. Was luck.

I hope John Higgins beat Doherty coz he can do it.
