Pork Pie Posted July 3, 2023 Share Posted July 3, 2023 A few weeks ago Bingtaos suspension got extended to seven and a half years. He's 23 and it's hard to imagine he'll practice to the standard of a professional for the next 7 years and be ready to get back on the tour in 2030. So that's pretty much his career over I'd say. Such a shame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pork Pie Posted July 3, 2023 Share Posted July 3, 2023 On a more positive note I can't wait for the new season to get fully underway. I know the champions league is currently on but that's more of a pre-season warm up and I'm not paying for Matchroom just to watch it. There's a few young players on tour for the first time who have been ones to watch for a few years now. It'll be interesting to see how they do. Will Jack Lisowski get his first tournament win? Will the class of 92 start to decline? Will Murphy cartwheel into the arena? Will Carter ever not be angry and sarcastic in every match and interview? I just hope we get to see more of Milkins winning tournaments. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pork Pie Posted July 22, 2023 Share Posted July 22, 2023 Murphy won the Championship League tournament yesterday beating Mark Williams 3-0 in the final. He's now won three ranking tournaments in the last five months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Gus Mears Posted August 21, 2023 Paid Members Share Posted August 21, 2023 European Masters starts tomorrow, lads. Finally some real sport on after the end of the Ashes. Well excited. Have been jonesing to the extent that I watched the British Open qualifiers on Facebook last week. Me and 70 other people worldwide watching Rod fucking Lawler crawl his way to victories.

Pork Pie Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 I didn't get chance to watch much of the European Masters but saw the last 5 frames. Really happy for Hawkins to win his 4th title. Seems crazy that he's not won more but unfortunately he does seem to lack that killer instinct of getting over the final line. He seems like a lovely guy though so it's nice to see him start the season on a high note. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Gus Mears Posted September 24, 2023 Paid Members Share Posted September 24, 2023 Proper community centre wrestling vibes there. 'Local favourite' Jack Lisowski and 'Asia's greatest player' Ding Junhui. Hopefully the poster has SNOOKER plastered at the top in big letters.

Paid Members Gus Mears Posted October 2, 2023 Paid Members Share Posted October 2, 2023 Final yesterday was good shit. Few things improve a Sunday more than the snooker going late, it's like reverse Heartbeat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pork Pie Posted October 2, 2023 Share Posted October 2, 2023 It was a great win for Mark Williams who pretty much won by playing Selby at his own game. Selby just couldn't find his rhythm. Williams reminds me of a Steve Davis quote "Play as if it means nothing, when it means everything" he clearly wants to win but can just move onto what's infront of him and not worry about what's happened. The English Open started earlier and I've just read that Ding had the first frame docked because he was wearing brown trousers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pork Pie Posted October 9, 2023 Share Posted October 9, 2023 Judd Trump won the English Open yesterday after being 7-3 down to Zhang Anda and coming back to win 9-7. Trump is a real come from behind kinda guy. He seems to love a big comeback. I felt bad for Zhang but it's still a great result as he'd never been further than a quarter-final.

LSM Posted October 11, 2023 Share Posted October 11, 2023 https://wst.tv/world-snooker-tour-wst-statement/ Interesting statement here regarding players choosing non sanctioned exhibitions over official WST tournaments when they clash. Looks like a few players could be in a bit of bother if they choose not to turn up at the Northern Ireland Open. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Gus Mears Posted October 11, 2023 Paid Members Share Posted October 11, 2023 I'd imagine earning several times as much in the exhibition as they would at the NI Open will take the sting out of whatever WST fines them to be honest, assuming fines would even be legal. Wouldn't be surprised if they go the public warning route for that reason. The organisation in general has been a clown show recently. We're 2 months into the season and they haven't been able to get digital scoreboards to work and are holding events in China 12 hours after events in London and wondering why players are opting against playing in them.

Pork Pie Posted October 29, 2023 Share Posted October 29, 2023 Judd Trump has now won 20 matches in a row and has won the last 3 tournaments. He's in incredible form. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
