    Any other snooker fans??

    The world championship is on right now and i'm really excited about Ding Junhui (link)! He's been my favourite player for a long time, and he's just made the semi-final against some guy i've honestly never heard of, Judd Trump, who even from his own perspective is looking invincible at the moment (link), so it should be an absolute cracker of a semi.

    The other semi is mark williams and john higgins, i don't care much for either of them so i hope whoever wins between judd and ding takes out the championship

    For those unaware of snooker, here's a clip of some of probably the best snooker ever played.

    I'm so sorry, but I clicked on this link because I thought you were combining "Snooki" and "Hooker". hahaha

    But it looks like a fairly interesting game. How did you come across it?

    I love playing snooker :grin: But I'm a tad bit to inconsistent to actually play competitively. But my family and friends have a snooker competition on new years day that is good fun :slight_smile:

    But as for watching it on tv, if i stumble across it I will watch it but will not go out of my way to.

    John Higgins is the new world champion, btw. *yawn*

    no offence to John, really, but a fresh face woulda been nice!
    ya some players are capable of incredible things.
