Snooker 2021

[The Bear]

FWIW the World Snooker Tour app is pretty good for staying up to date with scores/results and general news. Often its not covered on BBC or  Sky if its not a big tournament.

Coincidence or a fix 

 

This has now been moved to Monday 5th April 7:30pm, following "discussions with our broadcast partners". So I assume it'll be on TV somewhere, probably Eurosport, as all 10 days of qualifying matches will be on the Eurosport app.

Great comeback there from Ronnie

Always a joy to watch, one of the reasons why he has improved with age is his mental side, he is willing to scrap it out when things get tough

Great match.  Ronnie calls Milton Keynes a Catagory A prison, sounds about right to me.

Enjoying this final

Ronnie 9-4 down now and not doing anything this final session. 5 frames all lost, and his highest break is....... 8!

Shame its not closer, thought it was going to be a decent final session after the quality of Ronnie's century in frame 7 this afternoon.

Flawless session of Snooker from Robertson tonight, hardly looked like missing.

 

World Championships are going to be interesting, tough one to call this year.

Definitely, cant wait.

Hendry v White later in first round of the qualifying for the worlds.

 

Hope its a cracker, still don't think either will make it through the 4 rounds though.

Yeah I had a look at the qualifying draw earlier and I think you are right. They are likely to need to get past Zhou who's been on decent form and will probably get into the top 16 soon.

Jimmy White's wig really is a sight to behold.

I'm really surprised it's not free to air somewhere, I reckon it would get brilliant views even though it is a first round qualifier.. Shame.

It's only on the Eurosport App 

[kingfox]

Would be a remarkable story if White or Hendry were to qualify, don’t see it happening though, they’ve been shoved in a tough section.

 

Quite surprised Eurosport aren’t showing the qualifiers on TV again this year; the only round that will be free to air, will be the final qualifying round, that will be available on YouTube again, just like they’ve done for about the past five years 👍🏻

[The Bear]

Yeah I'm disappointed it's not on the TV. I thought the app was free too

If you have a bet365 account you can watch it I think, at least I hope so

Hendry 4-1 up. Both missing chances but Hendry scoring more heavily and more often when he gets in.

 

Neither of them are good enough to get out of qualifying though on this performance. 

[EastAnglianFox]

Its been very poor

Although that was vintage Hendry to go 5-1 up 

[kingfox]

6-3 win for Hendry then, still making Jimmy his bitch after all these years 

 

After all the pain Hendry caused him in World Championship finals, tonight’s result could see Jimmy getting relegated from the tour, he’ll now be relying on a good few players to lose their next matches.
