Yep. And consider I'm one hour further east - most snooker finals go past midnight for me.

Selby has won two frames in a row. O'Sullivan must now win four straight frames or concede the title ...

Nicko's at the Crucible for the Snooker!

Now he's being interviewed on the BBC!
I think he's trying not to swear on live TV.
I paraphrase Nicko: "The Crucible is like the Valhalla of Snooker. It would be like Maiden playing the Albert Hall (laughs)"

Eurosport just showed a close-up of Nicko in the stands. Man, he looks old now

Is that our Nicko you're talking about?

C'mon Perun, keep up! Nicko was even interviewed.
It's like you've not been reading all these snooker posts properly or something!

Preposterous! Why would I not read all these snooker posts!

You must have got him mixed up with that professional snooker player called Nicko... who just happened, coincidentally, to start talking about Maiden...

Why didn't anyone take a a screenshot?!

Why would I do that?! Crazy talk.

Is that Stephen Fry next to him?

 

[CriedWhenBrucieLeft]

Stephen is there (obviously, since he's been interviewed too), but I didn't know Nicko was sitting next to him.

Stephen Fry and Nicko McBrain? Damn that's cool.

 

[CriedWhenBrucieLeft]

Selby can only really throw this away now.

 

[Saapanael]

Am I right that O'Sullivan and the other guy have been playing for a really long time already?

I know next to nothing about the sport but I did catch it once (about a year ago, maybe the same tournament) with a few friends and that Sullivan guy with his faces left a nice impression. The next day I took this screenshot and had a laugh with the other ones:

Now that I checked the date, yup, exactly a year ago.

 

[The Flash]

Selby is winning it.

 

[CriedWhenBrucieLeft]

A simple pink & black and it's Selby's...

 

[CriedWhenBrucieLeft]

And Selby has it.

 

[LooseCannon]

Everything that has been talked about in this thread is some sort of secret code.

 

[Crimson Idol]

For once it's a code I understand! Unlike that whole Hockey or Football chatter.

 

[Dr. Eddies Wingman]

Don't think many did see Selby winning this when they started the third session today. I certainly didn't!
