Snooker 2020

[Nalis]

Phil Yates' commentary goes through me, tries and fails makes common or mundate facts sound as if he's telling you something really interesting, all of this with the annoying up and down tone whilst finishing with a high octave.

 

'The fascinating thing here is Barry Hawkins is English and Ryan Day (pause) is Welsh!? '

cant work out if it’s Yates or Hendon but this is a classic from last week.

Sounds like Phil Yates alright.

Woollaston vs Brecel to decide the winner then.

[goody2028]

Great break from woollaston despite a bit of luck here and there. That pink was unreal

Never seen a shot like that before 

[Lionator]

Final frame decider then. Deserved end to an enjoyable tournament. 
 

The U.K. Championship should take on this format.

Too right. Wasn’t sure how it was going to work out when first started watching the tournament but thoroughly enjoyed this.

Yeah definitely, good to see considering some of the groups early on were decided before the final match let alone the final frame.

Looks like Ben’s going to have to rely on a Luca arse twitch.

Well played Brecel, well deserved. 

 

I like the way Woolaston plays, might act as a catalyst for bigger things.

Thought Woollaston might kick on after making the Welsh Open final in 2015 but never did. He’s always been a player that seems to hover in the 30’s-40’s of the rankings.

 

As for Brecel it seems like he’s been around for ages, quite unbelievable to think he’s still only 25.

[Nalis]

Brecel lifting his employee of the month award.

RIP Willie Thorne...  I'm kinda glad he didn't have to suffer for too long after being diagnosed with leukemia, tbh.

Lovely man, had the pleasure of meeting him several times in Leicester. Always brought a smile to the room

Neil Robertson knocked out in the quarter's, seems to be taking it well though.

I wondered where my pot noodles went 

[Nalis]

Who is this co commentator on the snooker now in the Mark Selby vs Mark Allen match?

 

'Mark's a huge favourite now' 'Mark could be in trouble after this'... they are both called Mark you fvcking moron.

Joe Perry I think.

[Nalis]

Wonder what odds Maguire was on winning the Coral Tour Championship, considering he was a stand in and everything? Wasnt expecting that. 

[RowlattsFox]

Mark Selby through 2 rounds at European Masters without hitting a ball, Mark Davis withdrawn from the match because someone's knicked his cue   After his first round opponent had to withdraw too. Easy money. I know snooker players like using "their" cue but surely there is a plan b

 

Just realised Mark as actually played one round, but still had two walkovers.

I see Ronnie got knocked out by one of those spotty teenagers he said weren’t fit to lace his boots

Ha, to be fair he said any lower ranked player could beat him on Monday but couldnt do it during the rest of the week. Hope some of these guys who beat him kick on and push up the rankings.

That was before Aaron Hill snuck in and claimed a tour card  

 

Two tour debutants have done the business so far this week, Hill beating Ronnie and 24 year old Peter Devlin beat Mark Williams.

 

Hill is facing Matthew Stevens right now, while Devlin is facing Bert’s mate Joe O’Connor.
