Trackdaybob Posted December 17, 2022 Share Posted December 17, 2022 Brecel now giving Allen a lesson. 4 up so far. The form player of the season so far isn't getting a look in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bully Wee Villa Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 Can imagine loads of Chinese sponsors and potential hosts might walk away, too. Hopefully Ding isn't charged, I've always liked him. Though would explain his form for about the past five years. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trackdaybob Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 Just catching up with The Masters now. Shocked to see Robertson out. Hopefully Selby will follow suit. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trackdaybob Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 Now I'm guessing Vafaei was only invited because of the Chinese player suspensions but it was nice to see him play well and go through. That said, Selby don't look great. I know he has had mental health issues and has been addressing them but he didn't look in great shape to me sat in his chair. I wish him well in the future. Perhaps a break will do him good although with the World Championships on the horizon, he'll be trying to focus on that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miguel Sanchez Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 A truly spectacular bottle job from Day. 5-3 up, 5-5, need snookers, gets a snooker and a free ball... and misses the brown into the middle. Donkey. That final frame did include one of the most annoying things I see on a snooker table - a player potting the frame ball, then not potting the next one. It's the final frame and you're 5 points past the winning margin. Pot the next fucking ball and end the frame instead of wasting everyone's time for another ten minutes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peasy23 Posted January 12, 2023 Share Posted January 12, 2023 Superb performance by Williams to beat O'Sullivan 6-5 in the quarter final. Terrific match. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ICTJohnboy Posted January 13, 2023 Share Posted January 13, 2023 Stuart Bingham playing some flawless snooker, running away with his match against Shaun Murphy. Heading for 6-0 and a place in the semi-final. Murphy's spent most of the night sat on his arse. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parsforlife Posted January 14, 2023 Share Posted January 14, 2023 Admittedly not watched too much snooker over the last few years but I think that’s the best I’ve watched trump scrap, he was certainly off it and he has collapsed in the past when like that but he’s kept going today. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crawford Bridge Posted January 18, 2023 Share Posted January 18, 2023 https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/snooker/64297128 10 Chinese players charged with match fixing. Anybody who's ever watched Lu Ning knows he was at it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GiGi Posted January 18, 2023 Share Posted January 18, 2023 Quote Following a detailed investigation by the WPBSA Integrity Unit, working closely with Sportradar, the WPBSA has decided that ten snooker players have a case to answer in respect of the following alleged breaches of the WPBSA Conduct Regulations. Liang Wenbo has been charged with being concerned in fixing matches and approaching players to fix matches on the World Snooker Tour, seeking to obstruct the investigation and failing to cooperate with the WPBSA investigation. Li Hang has been charged with being concerned in fixing matches and approaching players to fix matches on the World Snooker Tour, seeking to obstruct the investigation and betting on snooker matches. Lu Ning has been charged with fixing a match and being concerned in fixing matches and approaching a player to fix a match on the World Snooker Tour, seeking to obstruct the investigation and betting on snooker matches. Yan Bingtao has been charged with fixing matches on the World Snooker Tour and betting on snooker. Zhao Xintong has been charged with being concerned in fixing matches on the World Snooker Tour and betting on snooker. Zhang Jiankang has been charged with fixing a match on the World Snooker Tour, failing to report approaches for him to fix matches and betting on snooker matches. Chen Zifan has been charged with fixing matches on the World Snooker Tour. Chang Bingyu and Zhao Jianbo have each been charged with fixing a match on the World Snooker Tour Bai Langning has been charged with being concerned in fixing a match on the World Snooker Tour. The players are currently suspended from attending and competing on the World Snooker Tour and in other WPBSA governed events until the conclusion of the hearing or hearings and the determination of this matter. This matter will be referred to a formal hearing before an Independent Disciplinary Tribunal that will take place at a venue and on a date to be confirmed. It's very bad. Bingtao fixing multiple matches and betting on matches. Xintong similar. The lot of them charged with some offences or another. That p***k Wenbo gone from the tour forever, hopefully. A nasty piece of shit. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keptie Posted February 20, 2023 Share Posted February 20, 2023 Another tournament this week straight after the Welsh open, won by Milkins who is good to watch and a very natural player. Allen v O'connor on just now. If Allen loses any more weight he's gonna disappear. He's getting a bit of stick from the pundits for playing slower than he usually does. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watching Trump vs Carter now. Are the tables playing bad or are the players playing under protest or something? This is grim viewing so far, really poor by both or them 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is grim viewing so far, really poor by both or them Don't agree with this narrative that Selby is brutal to watch. He's literally one of the greatest players (and greatest breakbuilders) of all time. The man is a shotmaker, can score with the best, hang in safety with the best, can shitfest like f**k when he's not playing well and still win. The guy is a snooker genius. I hear the boring argument about Selby often and usually from O'Sullivan fans who can't handle that Selby has pumped their man in numerous big finals. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When he’s firing he gets in a good rhythm and is awesome, but other times he overthinks it and it does get brutal. I’m all for tactical frames and grinding out results but these guys see the correct shot within a couple of secs. Taking 2-3 mins per shot sometimes is hard to watch. On a brighter note, at least this game is warming up nicely for a decider! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
