Bloody made up language. They only speak it when the English are around.

Oh and Higgins to win it.

Almost a good call, looks like Selby could be pulling off a massive comeback. Going to be a late night.

Snooker is a lot more interesting when you put fiver a frame on Selby to win at Evens and he wins about seven on the trot!

Thanks Mark!

My mate has got selby 18-17 at 40-1!

Hope he didn't put too much on it.

Selby gave it away on Sunday night.

Higgins has finally won his second World Championship - about time too. He tried his best to throw it away mind.

[youandwhosearmy]

Does anyone else think that Higgins looks like hes have a really difficult time having a poo when taking a shot?

Heart attack before hes 40 if you ask me

anyone watching the masters final?

looks pretty done and dusted unless selby gets the world famous clinchers disease!

[Exiled_Rover]

Selby played very well in the final, though he struggled to get there in the first place. It's a really wide open sport, which is novel.

Anyone watch the semi-final of the British Championships? What a perfect score by O'Sullivan to win it.

[Presty On Tour]

i still don't understand what bulls and horses have to do with snooker?

nice job by steve davis, was very unlucky.

Quality, I'll watch that later on. Did they give a time on it?

RIP to David Vine - a pleasant gentleman and the anchorman at the World Snooker Championships from 1978 to 2000.

He also presented Ski Sunday as well as 'A Question of Sport', Match Of The Day and Wimbledon tennis coverage in the 1970s, but is probably best known for being a snooker presenter during the game's 'golden period' of the 1980s.

There were a number of characters in the game back then and some memorable matches like the famous 1985 final between Dennis Taylor and Steve Davis and the compelling 1982 semi-final between Jimmy White and Alex Higgins, which I saw as a boy and is still the best snooker match I've seen, with Higgins coming back from 13-15 down to win 16 frames to 15.

73 is a young age to pass away these days and it's sad news for David's family.

Vine was a voice as instantly recognisable and associated with his chosen sport as John Motson and Murray Walker. Very sad news.

[Presty On Tour]

Very sad news indeed.

I don't think the Lowe/Vine combination regarding snooker will ever be bettered, especially with the legendary characters playing the game at the time.
