    Such a shame that, but always going to be so hard to come back down to earth after that double.

    That's World Champion Peter Ebdon

    I distinctly remember someone playing Tony Drago (I want to say it was Ronnie) in the first few rounds and in the time it took them to play an entire match Terry Griffiths had managed a single frame.

    18-9.

    Trump was largely unplayable from what I watched.

    Bit of a shame as for a session and a half it looked like it might be a classic.

    Anyone watching this?

    Saw Mark Allen complaining about the table there on the highlights show. The way he was asked made it sound like there's been a lot of complaints. What's wrong with it exactly? I've not seen enough of the tournament to see or hear other complaints.

    Of all places, Snooker has now taken up the chance for blood money.

    10 year deal for a Saudi ranking event with top prize matching that of the World Championship.

    I just walked by this on TV and saw that it's Trump vs Yuan which is quite topical.

    I saw it described as a 'double fluke' earlier before watching it. If the white had screwed off somewhere else and potted another red I might have been impressed.

    Is that the one where they have a limited amount of time per shot/per frame and some asian guy always ends up donning it?

    I don't understand the concept of that or why anyone agrees to play in it. You get £250 for going out in the first round (which 50% of the field does). Why would you bother?

    It's not even a skill that matters. "Look at me, I can take shots quickly. I'm sure people want to get home."

    Judd Trump is desperately trying to hold on to the illusion of a bit of hair. There must be a whole bottle of hairspray in it.

    I saw that earlier. Just get it stitched, he's clearly got the money.

    I was a bit disappointed the other day when I read a headline along the lines of "Trump tells O'Sullivan to stay at home if he doesn't like it" and I'd half forgotten Judd existed.

    They need to get some of that fake crowd noise on the go. Can't be hard, a scale of 1 to 5 on the clapping intensity and a button to quickly fade it out when Virgo explains that the white's run out of position. Maybe a soundboard with "come on Judd!" and "go on Ronnie!" for the semis onwards.

    I haven't seen a huge amount of Jack Lisowski but he's absolutely shat this today.

    EDIT: I think I posted that exactly as he started this large break. #timing

    I love shit snooker nicknames.

    Apparently Elliott Slessor's nickname is THE SILENCER.

    Righto.

    Nowhere is that less necessary than snooker.

    In NJ Dick Togo is known as The Spoiler, we assume he either does for all your dairy products or ruins the end of films you want to watch.

    In a similar way, who the fuck is calling Ken Doherty 'Scarface'?

    Ken Doherty when he's looking in the mirror trying on a new leather jacket he can't quite bring himself to wear outdoors.

    EDIT: This list is amazing. "Full of Eastern Promise" is not a nickname.

    And what the fuck is "The Angry Farmer" all about? That's not a snooker player, that's a mid-90s WWF wrestler who's losing in 30 seconds to Hulk Hogan.

    There are so many questionable ones in there. 'Wenbo Selecta' for Liang Wenbo is a lowlight, as is 'Mr Poombastic'.

    As for 'The Albino Assassin' for someone who appears not to be albino...

    Scarface? That's like calling Peter Ebdon 'That bald boring fucker'

    Is it just what the dickhead BBC announcer says when he introduces the players? I don't think they should be allowed to qualify as proper nicknames.

    I've been watching Yan Bingtao and The Silencer do tippy tappy on the top cushion for what feels like about ten minutes now. What a sport.

    BBC have the Ding-O'Sullivan starting at 19:00. Is there a chance they go at an earlier session depending on others?
