I'm phrasing things badly there.

That will look weird when I read this thread, pre-tournament next year.


Do you do this for every tournament? How far back do you go, is it just the final or the whole tournament?

Depends.

Sometimes I just read old final threads because there's not a lot happening at work, and I'm bored. rofl

Crucible ones aren't great. The final goes on over two days, so there's countless forum nonsense to read my way through. <laugh> Also the early rounds are often people discussing different matches, so are a bit difficult to follow. Also the early stuff from about 2009 / 2010, the forum was less developed and in some forums, the semis and final is all on weekend, so less easy to read.

One final, I think this year's Masters, is a bit embarrassing. As I'd had a drink and was having a go at people who were claiming Ronnie had declined. (I was disagreeing with them.) There's a bit where I go off on one about how I can't win, even when I am defending Ronnie. rofl rofl

RS seems to be in some exhibition tour, making a mint without the hassle of flying round the world, but this for me is the strongest indication that ultimate decline isn't that far away

You're not alone in doing this. I do it too sometimes when there's nothing better to do.

I mean I could do what most men do when they're bored at work and sat at a desk which is browse porn, but I find reading old snooker threads much safer.

Yeah, probably not the best idea at work.

China's Ding Junhui beat England's Kyren Wilson 10-3 to win the Yushan World Open and £150,000 in prize money.

Ding claimed his 13th career ranking title with the comprehensive victory that lifted him to second in the world rankings.

He won five frames in a row, including breaks of 67, 93 and 58 to go 6-3 ahead, while further runs of 69, 71 and 54 gave him victory.

"The home crowd always supports me," Ding, 30, told World Snooker.

"In the same way as it does with Ronnie O'Sullivan in the UK, that makes a big difference. You can see that some players don't like it, but you have to learn how to deal with it.

"I found it difficult in the first few years in the UK, but it is about learning."

Ding has now won six ranking titles on home soil and this latest victory moves him up to sixth on the all-time list ahead of world number one Mark Selby and Australia's Neil Robertson, who are both on 12.

Yeah, they mentioned that on commentary last night.

Don't suppose Selby will care though. He's got three World Titles, Ding hasn't even one.

Yes I bet Ding woud trade some of his "standard" ranking event wins for a World Title.

However, it's a pretty amazing achievment to have won now 13 rankers, would be a travesty if this man never became World Champion, but as we well know, things sometimes dont work like that... we just have to look at Jimmy White or Matthew Stevens for instance, Ali Carter too.

I'm reading it pre-Masters, and thought the same. rofl
