  • Table One out of action for rest of the night. Needs to be reclothed

    Play was stopped at the World Championship after a protester vandalised table one and a second person tried to attach themselves to table two.

    Were they protesting about cruelty to snooker players?
  • absolute pricks

    but, sticking to the actual snooker Vafaei has been just ridiculous. Really looking forward to him vs Ronnie, it has the potential to a really great match
  • Thought it was only linseed oil used on snooker cues....?
  • Absolutely ludicrous

    And why snooker of all the sports to target? 
  • Those snooker balls on the table should have been shoved somewhere painful
  • Absolutely ludicrous

    And why snooker of all the sports to target? 
    because if they tried it at darts, football or boxing they'd get battered
  • I’m very concerned about climate change, however this is mindless provocation for the sake of it, does nothing absolutely nothing to raise awareness, build support, develop & explore policy, or for that matter have absolutely any tangible impact whatsoever, other than to alienate people. The Just Stop Oil movement has to be the the most unimaginative and massively counter productive attempt at protest I can recall.

    And what why snooker?!? It’s not exactly high carbon!

    I disagree with football as they did it at football to an extent remember the guy who tied himself to a goalpost at Everton

    Think a boxing or darts crowd would give them the kick the deserved

  • On a separate note, my friends and I have been discussing how great a snooker manager game would’ve been on cd-rom in the early to mid 90s.  You don’t get to play as anyone, but manage them.  You might take over Graeme Dott and have to weigh up a sponsorship deal from Nairn’s - something along those lines.  It’s gotten quite ridiculous - this where we’re now at with it in terms of scenarios you get given as manager 

    “The junior world championships are running at the same time as the 1992 world championships and an eager 16 year old Stuart Bingham asks you to manage him.

    You agree because you think Stuart has a bright future ahead of him and you need to reinvigorate your fledgling managerial career as Snooker undergoes a transformation in general.  

    Whilst at the tournament, you notice a 27 year old Hazel Irvine giving a you a few looks from across the bar one evening.  You’re with Stuart and he’s drinking a shandy bass and eating some crisps.  You think Hazel may be flirting with you, so you wander over to say hello.  2 hours pass and although you have bought Hazel a few glasses of Chardonnay, you don’t really think there’s much of connection. 

    You return to where you were sat and notice Stuart is nowhere to be seen.  Panicked, you look around and realise Stuart has convinced an unsuspecting Bar man that it was lager he was drinking, not shandy bass.  Stuart has consumed 5 pints in the 2 hours you were sat trying it on with Hazel and is leathered, so much so he’s pestering Willie Thorn.  Immediately you can tell Willie is angry, this could spell disaster for you, and Bullrun.  

    Do you 

    A) come running over and apologise immediately, hoping Willie will calm down

    B) wait and see if some of the other senior pros will calm Willie down 

    C) Do nothing and leave Stuart to face the consequences”


  • A

    Willie was a nice guy, I'm sure he would be ok if I got Stuart to apologise and I bought him a drink and some moustache cream 😉

    It’s got really silly, really quickly 

    Terry Griffith approaches you and warns you about the conduct of Nigel Bond. He informs you that the other players on the circuit don’t take too kindly to the comments Bond has been making to the media. James Watana wants him expelled from the circuit. What do you do?
    a) Sack Bond from your stable.
    b) Try to convince Griffith that Bond is really a nice guy.
    c) Offer Griffith a bribe to start praising Bond and bad mouthing Watana.
    d) Call John Virgo for advice.
  • 147 for Kyren Wilson 
  • Call John Vigo for advice is always the answer to any issue. 


    He's blocked my number.

    Absolutely sublime. The last 2 reds & 2 blacks were outstanding! 
  • Judd Trump out round 1 is always a treat!

    Except when you have backed him to win the whole thing 😒

    He's from Kettering you know. Top man.We could be neighbours, (but we're not) There's him, Charley Hull in the golf, and that comedian, James Acaster. I'm sure there must be others. Ron Atkinson and Gazza have both managed Kettering Town of course, still in grave peril of dropping to tier 7 this season with little time to go, two huge games to come, at home to high flying Chester and away to Kidderminster. I know, too much information 😉

    Would have liked Tony Knowles to have had a side profile from when he had the wavy perm at the back. 

    Peak Ebdon with the pony tail though.

    When we release snooker manager 2, I’ll be sure to amend the cover 
  • Robert Milkins v Joe Perry level at 9 frames all, deciding frame now live on Eurosport 2 or BBC Red button.
  • Milkins wins deciding frame.
  • Dennis Taylor has suggested you come to Ulster, as it’s a potential hotbed of young talent as snooker provides an escape for the youngsters of Northern Ireland who are at risk of getting involved in the ongoing troubles.  

    You accept his offer, but after some further research and reading up on Dennis, you discover he was born in the same town as Denis Haughey, founding member of the SDLP.

    You worry that this is all a ruse and Dennis wants you over there to be seen fraternizing with the SDLP and you’re unsure what associating with a party that advocate for the reunification of Ireland could mean for your reputation to attract Irish players, both north and south of the border.  Do you 

    A) Ring Dennis and make up some excuse about getting sea sick so you can’t go across on the ferry and are also afraid of flying 

    B) Ask Dennis what his relationship to Martin McGuiness is

    C) convince yourself you’ll find a few gems over there and everything will turn out fine 

    D) call John Virgo
  • Can we have a Big Bill Werbeniuk one next please !  
  • Cracking game and strong comeback from Murphy but blew it running out of position like that.

    Si is going to be some player to put it a performance like that at just 20.
