2020 UK Championship

And unfortunately this new girl doesn't really possess any of those things.

Not yet, and who really cares about who's asking the same old cliches that have had a cliche'd response a thousand times before, Hazell didn't seem to learn anything, David Vine didn't need to ask. Just watch the snooker, we're all players aren't we ? we know what's happening and don't need anyone to lay it out.
Is there dormant racism in some of these posts
Joe Johnson has asian heritage, the chinese players are not responsible for the pandemic or their governments policies, same as not all americans can be tarred with the Trump brush, british views in favour of brexit aren't all about an eastern european invasion and criticism of the Israeli governments policies and Mossad's dirty work for the west aren't anti semitic.
Let's keep it decent, turn off the commentary if you don't like it, for whatever reason, and enjoy that snooker's happening at all, even though it's just another Milton Keynes championship despite the different backdrop

Now do I hate Milton Keynes bloody concrete cattle

Me, for one. Hazel had presence. She had great chemistry with Steve and John and, genuine or not, displayed a genuine liking for the sport. This new girl has all the presence and appeal of a Saturday morning kid's TV presenter.

I agree completely and I miss Hazel on The Beeb.

But at the same time the New Kid deserves a chance and some time to settle...

Regardless, I'm enjoying the UK's. Have been watching week 1 on Eurosport...some good stuff.

Hi daffie, great to see you back mate. Been trying to PM you but doesn't seem possible atm, the site has one or two technical issues right now, as you may have noticed.

Hiya Andy...great to hear from you as well mate. Been a while. Just re-discovered the forum so not up to speed about any particular issues. However, I did sent a pm a while back which doesn't seem to have reached you. Ah well... Let's see how quickly young Alexander makes minced meat of ROS...

I agree 100% with you , the pundits respected her too , and generally her questions were probing and insightful , she got the best explanations from the studio pundits

Testing. I notice the front page is finally showing the latest post instead of one from 6 days ago. Has it been fixed?

ETA: Maybe not. Hmm.

Alexander's not doing too badly as it goes, he's getting plenty of chances, just needs to capitalise on them before Ronnie gets into 2nd gear

Looks like he's found that gear...

Edit...ah no he hasn't.

[Starsky]

Really like watching Alexander play and well done to him for his win against Ronnie. He has a great temperament, can you imagine how good he would be if he played decent safety !

[PatBlock]

Looks like he's found that gear...

Never did find it did he.
Well well done Alexander.

There's a notable absence of replays during the coverage of this tournament. So many worthy shots and not a single replay among them.

[Mrman]

Yet more proof that, despite what, excuses RoS may have, he has nothing like the animalistic like killer instinct anymore, I don't care who wins, as long as it's not that arrogant kid Trump!

Especially seeing as she's of asian descent, young asian girls need role models like Seema so they can throw off their islamic gender shackles, disguised as culture, and see that they too can reach a goal other than be whisked off to pakistan to an arranged marriage.
Seema seems genuinely pleased to have the gig and shows enthusiasm for the role, is very attractive and does her job well, good luck to her.

Nice to see the tables playing poorly this afternoon, welcome to our world. Welcome back daffie
