Tulenos Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 Re: Snooker: World Championships How much more unlucky you can get? - I mean the last narrow miss by Ebdon - congrats Dott anyway;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 Re: Snooker: World Championships You were saying mate?! not anymore am I? :lol The wee man did well didnt he? That clearance to go 17-14 up was top draw and I really didnt think he had it in him. Congratulations Mr Dott, the worst world champion of all time but you deserved it tonight.:ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevshat Posted May 2, 2006 Share Posted May 2, 2006 Re: Snooker: World Championships How on earth did that red not go in?! Credit to Dott but I do think it takes some of the honour away from the World Championships that a 1st time winner can win it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Puntalot Posted May 2, 2006 Author Share Posted May 2, 2006 Re: Snooker: World Championships A shite WC spoiled by Ronnie because he's a fcukin nutcase (takes out the form player and then gives away his own match). :sad What a truly god awful final that was. :puke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A-Team Posted May 2, 2006 Share Posted May 2, 2006 Re: Snooker: World Championships The final session was fantastic viewing. It more than redeemed the rest of the match as far as I'm concerned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You use the word fantastic far too easily mate!! :lol It might have been ok viewing for the drama but let's be fair that was an awful final, 1 century in 32 frames and I think I'm right in saying Dott won the World final with a highest break of 68 which is pathetic really.

A-Team Posted May 2, 2006 Share Posted May 2, 2006 Re: Snooker: World Championships I'm speaking from a purely personal perspective based on how much I enjoyed it. I'm not disputing that the standard of play was mostly poor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stereoman Posted May 2, 2006 Share Posted May 2, 2006 Re: Snooker: World Championships GADZOOKS!! Dott gets an automatic invite to Premier League Snooker now ....um. doesn't he? :unsure Ronnie O'Sullivan, Stephen Hendry, Graeme Dott seem three to be likely.....it's the four other places I'm 'worried' about. Although it's invitation only, Barry Hearn has to stop giving his mates Steve Davis and Jimmy White a free ride but they're still pulling the punters in and that's why they're probably going to be given another go (unless they go for either one or unlikely though it is, both of Marco Fu or Ding Junhui....someone's heart's going to be broken here). Ken Doherty is ranked number two so he should be back. John Higgins is ranked number four and should also be back. Shaun Murphy is ranked number five but I suspect he probably won't be given a go. ....someone's going to be pissed off! :lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZuluWarrior Posted May 2, 2006 Share Posted May 2, 2006 Re: Snooker: World Championships Well it's all over, the pint sized Scot wins and 'the vein' gets sent packing, but only after one of the longest comebacks I've ever seen. Ebdon handed Dott the Championship due to his shocking and below form 1st 3 sessions. Fair to say Ebo lost me a few quid (had a straight bet with a mate over this match) but hoe hum... 8pts - Ebdon First Century - 3.00 @ Stans - WIN + 24pts ... Well in, the only century of the match secures me a tidy return from the last bet of the torney... 2pts - Ebdon Win - 5.50 @ Stans - LOSE 0pts ... Oh well, those 2pts where well worth the drama of the Ebdson comeback, he really did do well in that last session... Well done Dott for winning, but I don't see much of a defence coming... Right on Paul Ross, for me the best match was Williams v O'Sullivan match, it was a beut! It was crap after that really. Fu hit me hard in this torney and I'll be keeping an eye on him this season. I reckon Doherty's a gimme for prem membership, now at rank 3 in the world, and on some good form, and Higgins should get in... Well played gentlemen, a great thread, and I did enjoy the tornament!! So, what tornaments are on the card for this season??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davidmphill Posted May 2, 2006 Share Posted May 2, 2006 Re: Snooker: World Championships Nice return Zulu. Watched the end of the match in bed last night and I was nodding off and on during it! Fair do's to Dott he held off a great comeback by Ebdon and I have to congratulate Ebdon, he's the most gracious person I have ever come across in defeat, a gentleman and a true sportsman. Interesting to see if Dott can kick on from this and win a 2nd career title. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mowgli77 Posted May 2, 2006 Share Posted May 2, 2006 Re: Snooker: World Championships I don't think i've ever seen a final with so many mistakes, misses and in-offs. If that was supposed to attract new players to the game it will have failed. All credit to Dott for clinging on but it was mistakes that won frames for both players rather than great snooker. Where was rocket ronnie when we needed him? Probably having some counselling for his ****ed up head. I'd love to be his sports psychologist, i'd show him his 5 min 147 clearance and explain that was him. If only his head was right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sensibleboy Posted May 2, 2006 Share Posted May 2, 2006 Re: Snooker: World Championships Ok lads maybe it wasn't a great final. But give credit to Dott. He played his own game and came through. He beat Ronnie in the Semi's and beat Neil Robertson in the quarters after nearly throwing it away. He deserves a bit of credit. If Ronnie won it you would all be singing his praises. Dott is no different for me, well done Dotty boy, thoroughly deserved and although I agree with it being an average WC we can only look forward to next year. :cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Puntalot Posted May 2, 2006 Author Share Posted May 2, 2006 Re: Snooker: World Championships Not denying Dott deserved it, but for me Ronnie threw it away rather than Dott won it, in my opinion. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
