Not much round up this week @paulie8290 must be very busy, or constantly refreshing the transfer rumours page
Judd Trump beat Joe Perry 6-2, firstly to make the quarters, even more important we have a new world no1. Well done Judd, showing he hasn't wasted the talent like was first mentioned by lots (probably me included) , see how long he can stay at the top and who can challenge him.
Also a small mention, Monday IPA Premier league Pool started on freesports, advertised at 7pm, but got underway 7:30. 10 top players playing blackball pool channel 422 for sky users, I recommend it if you enjoy pool or snooker. Its on record for me as I have pool league that night (one of a few lol)
The weekend there was the Paul Hunter Classic, only short races and didn't really hear much of it:
Barry Hawkins beat Kyren Wilson 4-3
Seniors World Championship - Jimmy White beat Darren Morgan 5-3, week before, potential to get into the champions of champions (dependent on repeat winners) Also his first win at the crucible
The International Champion - Trump beat Murphy 10-3 (this was the last scores posted on here)
Next Tournament: 6 Red World Championship 2nd September, defending champ Kyren Wilson
So the 6 Reds World Championship started yesterday, not sure if you can view it anywhere I couldn't find it on the sky planner. Possibly betting sites or as things progress... No need to go through the rules as its self explanatory, a normal game of snooker with 6 reds not 15 Winner gets £82k , I don't think its a ranking event
I will try to update once we get down to the business end
Jimmy White is in it, Reanne Evans/ NG Yee, also a lot of the crew, K Wilson, Selby, Mags, G Wilson, Ding , Perry, Higgins , Yan Bingtao. Just a selection of names to wet your taste buds
Stephen Maguire wins the Sangsom6 Reds World Championship, beating John Higgins 8-6, he actually won it in 2014 too.... his last title from what I can see, non ranking title but picked up just over £100k so cant be all that bad.
The Shanghai Masters started yesterday:
Xiao Guodong beat 6 reds champion Stephen Maguire 6-2
Ding beat Jianbo(a) 6-2
Hawkins prevailed in a decider 6-5 against Yan Bingtao
Zhang Yi beat Ali Carter 6-3 (Good)
Murphy beat Lu Haotian 6-1, also currently has the highest break 135
So whiilst I havent been updating thos thread, i have still be watching snooker just wasnt sure I was able to fully commit with everything thats going on.
I now believe I can, and will happily return to given my full updates providing enough people want them.
So if you want my full updates to return let me know on this thread and I will start with the Champion of Champions tomorrow.
Hell yes! I tried to step up in your absence, but I am not on your level for updates mate. I have also been keeping an eye on the snooker still, Well done Un-nooh making the final and Trump saved his best for the last, he wasn't particularly playing that well through the whole tourney. Ronnie out early, a decent run by Holt so still a lot of interest. COC this week you have Jimmy White vs Ronnie.
Personally still dont agree with Jimmy White being there but it is what it is
I agree mate, its a bit funny he is in it. Also Reanne, its kind of good she is in it but a bit pointless really as she can't really compete with the top boys. If she was good enough to cause an upset maybe, but she doesn't get through round 1 in the ones she has gone into. On another view of that, we have someone who plays pool in Kent for the ladies, but clearly would be good enough for the A team, or B at worst but its restricted as we have a ladies team also. Personally if they are good enough there should be no restrictions.
The World Seniors winner has never been invited before, and before the event it was still not mentioned, Jimmy White wins it and suddenly the next day, oh and for winning the World Seniors Jimmy has now been invited to the Champion of Champions.
Were was Peter Lines invitation when he won and others
Also agree with your point with Reanne, she was in all 3 Q schools and lost in Round 1 twice and Round 2 once,
In the 6 reds she lost all 3 group matches.
I have always said Snooker is a sport where its obviously not physical, so no reason why both men and women cant compete against each other, but Reanne is supposed to be the best womens player and yet as soon as she comes up against men she falls apart
Loving listening to the commentators for this match, trying so hard not to be critical of Evans haha, every time she misses or something goes wrong, they just say she is unlucky haha.
She has potted the cueball 5 times in the opening 2 frames and every time they say how unlucky she is, if it was Murphy who did they they would be saying things like the pockets are always there and things like that

I follow a feminist on twitter, who loves her snooker. She did just post about how great it is she is in the COC, I did write a response but I just didn't bother in the end as I know it will just go back and forth even though my main point is she is not up to the standard to play in these events. Although good exposure for the ladies its also negative as people will know someone else deserves a shot who would have a chance, if it was as shootout 1 frame that's different but a proper race to 4 no chance!

1 break over 30(which was 34) so far by Evans tells you all you need to know, again nothing physical in this sport, just not good enough
