Snooker loopy

I've lost league matches 3-0 in less time than that frame took.

Yes. Donaldson played a shot to roll up to a ball on the baulk cushion, a shot I wouldn't attempt on a club table due to the likelihood of it drifting and missing the object ball, and so it did. There are two tables in my club where you can trust the roll, but that shit from Donaldson was like one I see regularly on our club tables.
Anyway, if Allen is to get back into and win this match it'll take him until about 2.30 at this rate.

Also, Davis seems to think that Allen's titanium ferrule is causing him problems. I've improved a lot since I bought my new cue which has a titanium ferrule, but then I haven't been playing 16 hours a day for 30 years.

Donaldson is playing a little like me in this match. Some good long pots, solid safety, and the inability to get a break above 30.

3-0 win in the league tonight; third 3-0 in a row. Tonight was especially good because he was top of the league, five points ahead of me with a frame difference of +20 v my +16. With four points for a 3-0 win, I'm now only one point behind with a frame difference of +19 v +17.

I'll remain in fourth place level with the player in second on points, who didn't play tonight. He has a frame difference of +29, a handicap of -7 and usually gets at least one fifty break in a match. He looks odds-on yo win the league, although he just lost his first match two weeks ago.

I'm also level on points with the player in third, the ex-pro footballer, whose frame difference is +24. It's tight at the top!

I don't want to be in the top three at the two thirds point of the season as they have 7 removed from their handicap and the bottom 3 have three added.

A decent final in the end. First session of the evening was wobbly, and Selby almost contrived to throw it away but fell over the line. Could it be something to do with the lead piping used in Victorian Plumbing?
