World Championship Bingo

Are your Bingo cards ready for the Championship? How many can we tick off? Any others to look out for?

He's the nicest fella you could ever hope to meet

Golf

I always say that you never really settle down until you have your first frame on the board

That was just a little bit of tension

Where's the cueball going

I've not seen much of this young player

This knowledgable Crucible crowd

Good temperament

I've never known an atmosphere like it

5 minutes 20 seconds

Adrenaline

I’ve often thought of doing a competition on here with this. Too much work though A few come to mind:

There’s always a gap

Phone the police, he’s missed one

John Spencer old woman story

Doesn’t usually show much emotion

1985

And of course...:

Quite a tall lad

He can pick up 9 balls with one hand

Someone’s just feeling a little unwell

He’s a thin ball wizard

That’s why I call him satnav Selby

Also…

The things that can happen on a snooker table twelve foot be six

Right in the heart of the pocket

It’s the DDK, the dreaded double kiss

The lovely Vikki

Would you believe it

It’s very tight in the two table setup

He’s made x centuries in his illustrious career

It wiped its feet

Fractions

Absolutely inch perfect

We never miss from here in the commentary box

Brilliant matchplay snooker

Mini sessions

Cruelly overlooked

He couldn't have placed that better with his hand if he'd tried

He's blessed with extraordinary cue power

Patsy Fagan

I’d have to get the stepladder out to play that shot

Just a bit of noise from the other side of the arena

That’s the shot of the championship so far

That's so careless at this level.

Anything along the lines of 'He's an amateur in name only' for Michael White.

He's pretty good at plants as he was a World Pool Champion.

Knocked twice… knew the password!

This.. is snooker.. from the gods

Walker has already called it 'The Cruce'

The frame at his mercy

See how close the audience are there

You can’t get your breath / can you get your breath

We had a where's the cueball going too.

Thanks to all that work with Dr. Steve Peters.

Good shot, acknowledged by his opponent

Or

[player] taps the table in appreciation

A smelly shot.

Naughty snooker.

Attention all pockets.

Robbo's origin story

You never know, there are six pockets on the table!

One of the best rest players in the game

One of the best cue actions in the game

One of the best players in the game

One of the most likeable players in the game

One of the best long potters in the game

(We all know who said these…and will say them again…one of the best commentators in the game…lol)

He's a really nice guy.

Virgo now even says "I know I say this every year...." so he must know people pick these up.

Dennis always says "this is my XX years coming to this place". Yet this year he was asked how many years is this now Dennis to which he replied "i don't know. I stopped counting"


I would rather we keep Dennis and JV then have Murphy. JV still adds a lot despite is lack of knowledge of some players but some of the audience (I use my nan (RIP now) as an example. She only watched the BBC games so would only also know the usual players. So actually JV plays the part of this core audience imo.

You can hear a pin drop

That's what the crucible can do to you

he hit that too well

tensions running high

“He’s one of the nicest lads you could ever wish to meet.”

We will hear most of these for the very last time in May. End of an era.
