Thats all of them atm, although we have been promised one by Neil Robertson at some point as well and as Alfie Burden only started it 2 days ago I am fully expecting more to get involved over the coming days, its not like they have anything else to do lol0

I missed Sanderson Lams, I think Kacper Filipiquack is my favourite of the lot so far and overtakes Michael Holt using a Nappy for Marco Poo

Just a thought, but once we start coming out of lockdown televised Snooker (with no audience) should logically be one of the first sports back, with strict rules to allow players to return to their well separated seats before the next player takes their turn. Other than their own cue, the players touch nothing, while the referee wears gloves anyway...And unlike other sports, little chance of injuries placing a burden on the hospitals either.0

Apart from their hand thats always on the table(which was one of the issues during the Gibraltar open that everyone was mentioning)killerandflash said:Just a thought, but once we start coming out of lockdown televised Snooker (with no audience) should logically be one of the first sports back, with strict rules to allow players to return to their well separated seats before the next player takes their turn.

So today's the day the World Championships were due to start 😭😭😭
BBC are still giving us a tiny bit of snooker even if it is just 2 hours a day, they are going to be showing a classic World Championship match every day
Todays match is 3pm till 5pm on BBC 2 and it is a match from the 1st round of the 1982 world championship between Steve Davis and Tony Knowles0 -
Just a shame they have condensed it down to 2 hours, whats the red button doing atm lol, surely they could just put one whole classic match on the red button each day0

Agreed, they wouldn't like wearing gloves but if it meant that TV snooker could resume a month earlier than most other sports, it could catch a desperate audience...Chris_from_Sidcup said:Players could wear gloves too like the ref........0 -
There's a good documentary on IPlayer at the moment 'when snooker ruled the world'
I enjoyed it as it coincides with the time I started watching snooker0 -
Current World Champion Steve Davies against Tony Knowles
Only one winner here surely 🤣🤣0 -
Great to the Reardon v Higgins 82 final yesterday. Higgins didn’t buckle under the pressure and some of those shots were amazing.
went onto YouTube to revisit his 69 break against White in the semi-final when he was 59-0 behind.
incredible stuff.
Saw Higgins in a B&H Masters in @ 81 / 82 in a semi-final v Cliff Thorburn. Higgins was 5-1 down and ended winning 6-5. The atmosphere got more electric with each frame.Like a lot of top players he had his issues but he truly was a genius.1 -
Sorry forgot to say it starts at 2 during the week
Steve Davis is currently 8-1 up over Jimmy White0 -
Makes you winder how different things would have been had the miss rule been around back then.
Frame 19
Jimmy White ahead and had Davis in a tough snooker, Davis missed and White got the 4 points but was left a tricky pot which he missed, Davis then cleared up and won the frame and went 13-7 ahead.
Had the miss rule been around, White would clearly have put Davis back in and a couple more misses and it would have been 12-8 instead

I remember this shot, couldn't believe what he was trying but what a shot it was

Gotta say I am looking forward to the one today at 2pm.
After spending the last 3 days in the 80s BBC are fast forwarding to the 2014 Semi Final between Mark Selby and Neil Robertson0 -
