I am sorry to say but the first time - only a few days ago - when I saw the new sponsor of this event I saw Spandex and I can not get it out of my head now.

Also the terrible font used on WST certainly does not help matters!!!!

Another betting company then, guess beggars can't be choosers at least we are rolling along.

Smurph was awesome. Just blew Higgo away. Little bit of controversy from Ali Carter. Better not repeat here what he said about Ronnie.

why not? People have repeated what Ronnie said about Carter?

Thought it was libellous.

Ronnie said his piece on Carter. Who said we don't have enough characters in Snooker?

It's a sad day when snooker players need to take etiquette lessons from 16 year old Darts pro.

It's been an underlying issue between Carter and O'Sullivan for decades, how it started and why it continues is beyond me but you can't like everyone. I suppose I'd find it hard to get on with someone who kept beating me if I was the competitive type, but I'm not and it's pretty clear to me that O'Sullivan has left that behind as well which is why he's playing so well at his age. When he says he doesn't care he means it doesn't bother him to lose, it bothers him to play badly.
The game itself is his opponent, maybe always has been which is why he seems to light up when faced with a tricky clearance, the bloke sat in the other chair is irrelevant and these journalists need to realise that and stop asking the same bloody questions.

Strange scheduling tonight, Selby/Carter on Table 1 and Judd/Lyu on table 2?

[Nifty50]

No TV match tonight?

Judd's didn't last long...

Well no chance of another Carter V O'Sullivan match here.... Thankfully

Why did Hossein walk out at the end of the match and not shake hands with Mark?
