Match Thread Scotland V Wales - Friday 8Pm

[tup]

I even agreed to play by your rules but it didna really make any difference because if you pot all the balls and the black then you win, regardless of the rules in place.

 

I did that.

 

Five times.

You're a lying bastard. We played your shitey rules every frame bar one.

It'll be on in the pub, I'll probably be playing pool and continuing my winning streak from last week.

Pity you bottled it on the big occasion when you failed to make an appearance at my tournament.

 

I'm almost unbeatable at pool but I gave boofon one frame because he made the effort to turn up and I didna want him to go home empty handed.

That's not true. You fluked two blacks and I missed a sitter in the 6 games we played. Normal rules would have it as. 3-3 draw with last pocket normally having to be nominated. Your luck was in, mine was out but I'd just been released from captivity so was out of practice.

Are you saying you don't have to nominate the pocket you pot the black into?

 

Absurd. That means anyone can win with a fluke taking all skill out of the game as happened in two frames in our match up.

 

That is exactly what I'm saying.

 

Ludicrous to suggest any other rule.

[tup]

I can't really remember, but we are splitting hairs, because you were outclassed and you were glad that time constraints meant we had to stop at 5-1.

[The Boofon]

This is how it's played in the Kintore Arms.

 

Nominate the pocket you're about to pot the black ball in.

Correct. Stops folk aiming for a pocket, missing but it bounces into another pocket by a fluke. Tup did that twice.

 

3-3 draw in our match up and not the 5-1 bullshit he's claiming.

[The Boofon]

3-3.

[tup]

This is like dealing with a sevconian in a state of mass denial.

 

The score was 5-1, and I was just getting warmed up at that stage.

 

If boofon was being realistic, and honest, he'd admit he is not at my level, and was lucky to scrape one frame.

[Foster14]

I like to play last pocket for the black. Makes it a bit more interesting.

 

Not sure how that relates to Scotland v Wales.

[tup]

Pool is played in a pub, which is where a lot of us will be watching this game.

 

So it's massively on topic.

I am being both realistic and honest when I say it was 3-3 by my rules, 5-1 by your insane rules to which we played all but one frame and you have an Irish flag on your cue and I'd to buy the first round of drinks and put the fifty pences down for the games.

[The Boofon]

Oh and come on Wales.

[Henry]

So what happens if you fluke the black having nominated a pocket? You lose the frame?

[Henry]

DOUBLE BUBBLE

Mental

 

I bought the first drink thank you very fucking much.

 

This after you bought yourself a tin of lager on the train but never got me one.

[Foster14]

Agreed Roberto. Shouldn't be throwing the black round the table at the end of a game so that it can end up in any pocket. If you're any good at getting it in the pocket you are aiming for, there shouldn't be an issue.

[tup]

Whatever rules anyone wants to play, I'll win, because I'm shit hot at pool.

[rgudon]

Pool/Darts is for minks and weegies.

[tup]

Darts is for minkers but not pool.

[Foster14]

Bet you go to Siberia and play a game of Connect 4...

In response to both of your posts Harcus, yes.

 

Being flukey is not playing pool.

Agree that losing on a fluke is annoying, but it's part of pool FFS, why don't you have to nominate the pocket for the other 7 balls you pot?

Have you seen the fucking prices of a tin of lager on the train FFS.

 

Plus you had the family with you and I thought you'd want to be a responsible parent and not some drunken mess.

 

Anyway 5-1 to you by your rules, 3-3 by mine. Only one way to settle it and that's a proper tournament with no Irish flags on display either. Still canna find the emoticons FFS.

[The Boofon]

Tup is a hit and hope merchant make no mistake. He also plays fucking snookers FFS.

 

That's bad enough crack at pool as it is without just cannoning the black all over the place and hoping it goes in.

Snookers in pool is just for desperate people that cannot win by playing pool

[Foster14]

Why are you only allowed to finish on a double or bullseye in darts despite not having to every other shot?

 

Why are you not allowed to use a 5 iron on a green if you've been allowed to use it for every other shot?

 

Why do you have to serve in to a smaller area in tennis with your first shot, but have a much larger area for others?

[tup]

I do what is necessary to win.

[Karl Fletcher]

Fucking hell lads.

[Henry]

Fucking hell lads.

 

[sheepiekev]

Think there should be a sweep on when Bale will score.

He WILL score.

Caldwell is our best defender which says everything.

Still.......McGhee has a plan, so we're OK

[Redstar]

I'm fairly confident Scotland will win this ...2-1 maybe 3-1

[Ke1t]

I'd be happy with a 4-0 defeat to the Welsh.

 

It'll probably be a tight game, so I'll go with 3-1 to the Walesish.
