Regardless of how entertaining he can be to watch he remains an enormous arsehole and all the 'Ah well the game needs characters' you hear in response to him being an arsehole can do one.

This set-up did seem a bit open this time around, I don't know if it was always like this or what but there's no screens inbetween and the tables are right close to eachother with a stampede every 30 mins as the masses go for their beers and lines.
Brecel with one of the best sporting performances i've ever seen, astonishing stuff.
Zhao was pretty good too just now.
Could be a cracking final.
No comments here on the atrocious scoreboard the BBC graphics department have come up with? It never disappears from view, either. My eyes were bleeding watching that Brecel match this afternoon.
Dunno if it's the same one, but I watch Eurosport, much prefer the commentary, especially without hearing the BBC twats trying to crack the audience up in their headsets with their shit jokes.
Enjoying this final so far - two positive, in-form players and not the same tired old faces for a change.
Turned the BBC on to see Shaun Murphy. Nope.
I'm going to sound like a grumpy old man, but that young man just shouldn't be in the studio.
Zhao is probably the first player I've seen since Trump who has rocked up and looked the real deal. 24's not particularly young, so he's wasted a few years, but he could be properly good.
The Guardian take on this is very weird. "China now holds 2 of the 3 big titles"... the invasion is here!! Run!! Run!! Run!!
Would probably put me off watching a bit if I’m honest. May as well be an underage or women’s tournament if I don’t know anyone playing.
What does Mosconi Cup D2 mean?
Day 2, presumably.
Ah, day 2. I thought it was some low level competition thing.
Isn’t this the lad that kicked the shite out of Judd Trump in the US Open?
Jayson Shaw did, if that was him?
Crowds are usually a bit partisan for this, but there's some specials in tonight.
That’s the lad alright.
The crowd have done my head in enough that I’ve turned it off. What’s that shit about for every extension?
Just put it on, who on earth are these retards in the crowd? Are they encouraging it?
It’s like they did a round up of passing imbeciles.
O'Sullivan vs Bingham in the semi of the World Open starting on ITV4 now.
Ronnie level with Robertson at 4-4 going into tonight's final session. The former played like a complete twat, bar when he needed snookers in the last frame which he got in excellent fashion. Should be a cracking finale tonight.
This masters stuff is dogshit.
lll
Jesus. That was brutal.
Trump-Allen was tasty yesterday and Ronnie-Robertson is heating up nicely now.
Cracking finish in the Robertson - Williams match there.
fucking incredible scenes

That's just a stupid shot. Perfect.
I can’t believe Williams blew that match. He played so well but lost his composure on a couple of vital and not-that-difficult shots.
The shootout on Eurosport is decent fun, if you can bear the stupid crowd noise. The Persian Prince currently bidding for a semi-final berth.
Robertson playing some lovely stuff this session
First year I can ever recall that I’ve no channel to watch on. If I can last 2 weeks I’ll never get the bbc again.
Ronnie to win it all
I'm a twit
Mark Allen must be reaching Stephen Lee levels now
Weight or cheating?
Former, but the latter absolutely wouldn't surprise me, he gives me very bad vibes.
Ronnie sounding like a CCP spokesperson on Eurosport.
Get the Ronnie-Vafaei matchup after the terrorist's comments
Selby vs. Yan is shaping up to be a classic. The latter 10-7 ahead and they play to a finish tonight. First to 13.
Bingtao getting some serious run of the balls, which I don't mind too much against the pesterer from leicesterer.
As much as I dislike him, one has to admit the last 3 frames from Selby (and some of the safety in this) have been magnificent.
Is there anyone better than Selby when it comes to digging in to try and save a match?
Never ended up getting bbc sorted for this. How long is left?
10-11 now to Yan. Could be another hour or two yet.
