Betfred World Championship (Tue April 30th) Quarter-Finals!

Hair Watch:

Ronnie’s hair appears to be getting some salt mixed in with the pepper.

ROS said Gary Wilsons best game is better than Carters best game

Anyone know if Stephen Hendry got a hair transplant? It's a shame if he did, because he looked good the last time he had short hair

Seems an odd thing to say.

Gary Wilson came for a visit to Canada recently and I had the opportunity to play him a best of 3.

Lost one frame on the colors and the second he ran a 130ish. Lovely guy, great game.

I think he made no less than 3 perfect games in the two weeks he was here (along with many tons) and lost none of his challenge matches.

Great talent, hoping he makes the finals

Great tale - he seems like a really nice bloke.

Seema looks amazing.

Hendry: “Who’s so say he couldn’t be the next Joe Johnson and go all the way?”

Seema: “Absolutely! [who the buck is Joe Johnson?]”

My local snooker club (Corner Bank Billiards in Toronto) is doing a lot to try and rekindle snooker in Canada.

We had a snooker seniors event with the winner getting a trip to play in the WC qualifiers (sadly it wasn't me)

Jim Wych is one of the club owners and he's helped arrange a visit in August from Hendry and White......really looking forward to seeing/meeting them in person and maybe playing a few frames with them

The Tyneside Führer, more like.

"El capitano".
Ignorance is a disease.

OH MY GOD SHAUN MURPHY AGAIN.

Wow!

Hey Sickpotter - great to hear some people keeping the flame alive in Canada. I used to love the Canadian players on tour back in the 80's. Such a shame it seemed to decline over there.

Bill was my favourite player. I guess you might have met/played some of them (don't want to assume your age)

Rooting for both Wilsons tonight.

There was a young man named Maguire,
Who was known as a bit of a crier,
When he forgot his chalk,
He couldn't screw back to baulk,
and his form went from bad to dire!

Brilliant! Love your Gary Wilson story too.

Was she even born in 1986?

Yes. She's one year older than me.

Gilbert is playing the role of Sarah Connor here

Meanwhile, while they keep talking about G. Wilson as a possible Joe Johnson, Gilbert keeps playing very solid stuff.
I don't think G. Wilson is more prepared to win this tournament than Gilbo.

Lovely break building
