you have hite the nail on the head David. The only occasions I am not a nutral, however is when I play. All other times I just find myself incredably fortunate to be able to watch a game I love, regardless of any result or standard at any time.
I beleive it was Meo's birthday at some point during this event. From 1 anarac to another, David, I beleive i am correct in saying that there has been 10 occasions on which a left- hander has got to a Crucible final. AM I correct? For the record, Iam thinkng the following.
Perrie Mans 1978 Jimmy White in 6 finals, 1984,1990,1991,1992,1993 and 1994 Mark J Williams 1999,2000 and 2003
Am I corect regarding the left-handed crucible finalists David? As for Tony Meo's 50th birthday, I did belive October 4th to be the day and thanks for the confirmation
As a biased Taff I'd love to see Mark get to the final, but on balance I think it would be brilliant for the sport if we had a Ding v Neil final. Either way I'm sure the final will be a cracker.
Every snooker tournament, I always think of, THE MAIN MAN, THE GOVENOR,I am of course refering to David vine. I think of him , as indeed I do of Paul Hunter,every day of a tournament.He will, I am sure, be watching tomorrow. Thankyou David Vine for all youve done for the game. R.I.P. David. As for the final, it has all the prospects and hallmarks, of been a cracker. I can't wait.
Am in great anticipation of Ding v. Robertson. And following on from Liang in the Shanghai final it's a terrific start to the season for the overseas contingent. Given the weirdness attached to the 1985 British Open final, it's rather odd to hear it mentioned in this happy context. I suspect the gap will be shorter to the next all-overseas final.
Ding v Robertson is also interesting in that they each have 3 wins out of 3 in ranking finals. On the other hand, it's the first time Robertson has met a seeded player in a final.
I soppose it is to much to hope for to have a 9-8 rollercoaster on the final black. Yesterday, we had a, as I described, "mezmorizing" first semi-final. Higgins .V. Robertson 6-5 on the final black. so regardless of the result or standard, Ilove all kinds of snooker. in these circumstances, for me, it will be a craker what ever happens. I can not wait untit the 2 O'Clock start, an the final installment at 8 O'Clock final session, this evening. Bring it on boys...

ReplyDeleteIf Mark wins will this be the first all left handed ranking final?
ReplyDeleteNo!

ReplyDeleteIt probably won't be long until the first ever all-Chinese final.
ReplyDeleteShould be a great match. Hope the venue is full.
ReplyDeleteand being held in every other Chinese province...?
