Well done snookersfun! 1 point to you. I'm a bit confused about the state of the scoreboard as it hasn't been updated for a while, but make sure you get your point. I'll credit your point also for this on the Puzzles with numbers and things thread.
Here is what the completed crossword looks like:"If anybody can knock these three balls in, this man can."

Why does davis_greatest get a point for round 23 when chassmi had the longest chain of words and won the point already? :-)"I'll be back next year." --Jimmy WhiteComment

I think he is suggesting that as Horace lindrum and some others never played in a ranking event they are not well known enough snooker players tobe seen as lustworthy

Hehehe, well, yes partly that - and I was suggesting that we should each get a point for our efforts But it's OK, I don't mind my point being removed.

Incidentally, your first answer would have been acceptable had the clue been "Person who anonymously gave davis_greatest negative rep last night for posting score updates of the first Premier League semi-final."Originally Posted by snookersfun"If anybody can knock these three balls in, this man can."

Reper.... an interesting word... and palindromic! Which leads us to...Originally Posted by snookersfun the mad reper struck again????
Round 25 - Back to front
You need to submit the best snooker-related palindrome you can. (A palindrome has the same letters reading backwards as forwards - ignore spaces and punctuation.) It can be a single word, like BOB (as in Bob Chaperon, but that would be a terrible entry), or a phrase as long as you like (like MADAM I'M ADAM, if that had anything to do with snooker).
Post your entries on this thread. This is, of course, entirely subjective, but the winner will be whichever one I like most that is submitted by 21:00 (9pm GMT) on Monday 4 December.
Anyone is also free to post a new round (from round 26) in the meantime, to overlap with this one."If anybody can knock these three balls in, this man can."

you don't have to make the longest palindrome, rather one that D_G will like. I suggest something about Davis
