First time there have been two new winners in a row since Murphy and Dott in 2005 and 2006. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bully Wee Villa Posted May 4 Share Posted May 4 (edited) And first final with no former winner since 2005, too. I find it much more interesting than O'Sullivan, Selby, etc in a final for the seventieth time. Mon the Diddies.

microdave Posted May 4 Share Posted May 4 12 minutes ago, Bully Wee Villa said: Likewise. Always makes it more interesting the next year wondering if someone can beat the Curse, too. Jones isn't the flashiest player but he seems to have great bottle, even when people have thrown everything at him he hasn't looked worried. They showed the career stats of the finalists at the end and I was astounded that Jones has only made 76 centuries in his 14 years as a professional. That seems very low but good luck to him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jives Miguel Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 That list is a good read. Im a shameless casual when it comes to snooker, so forgive my ignorance but how can someone like Nigel Bond only have 128 centuries when he was a pretty highly ranked player for the best part of 30 years? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would guess because his best years were in the nineties when there were sometimes only about half a dozen tournaments in a season. There are about twenty each year now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

meanmistermustard Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 The final has been dire so far. Wilson ambling into a 5-0 lead as Jones has been awful. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McGlovin' Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 There's a certain grim fascination in watching someone crumble on the biggest stage. That "time since last pot" counter creeping up to the forty minute mark for Jones in this Dad's Army final. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bully Wee Villa Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 Think Jones has got Wilson just where he wants him. The old Dennis Taylor trick of losing the first seven frames never fails. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dennis will stick on his funny glasses and do his finger wag and the place will be in stitches. Fun for all the family. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
