    O’Sullivan is a brilliant snooker player but can’t stand him.
    In Scotland he was on for a 147 and had the cheek to ask what the prize money for a 147 was.
    When told, he said not enough and deliberately went for a different colour.
    Should have been disqualified for bringing sport into disrepute.
    Total disrespect to Scotland by that English *.

    Sat down to watch Selby v Allen, buzzing for an epic battle and both started like a pair of amateurs :giggle1:

    What a game the auld snooks.

    Probably already been mentioned, but 147 breaks seem to be more often now.
    I think that's 3 or 4 now in the last couple of weeks.

    Have you been watching much? Do you reckon the pockets are more forgiving? In some tournaments I’ve watched over the past few years the pockets have been annoyingly forgiving. Balls hitting the cushion half way down the rail and still dropping should never happen.

    Higgins v Selby tomorrow in the Tour Championship final. No seen much of it this week but seen the Higg has been awesome, and Selby certainly was today against Ding.

    These two at the top of their game is some prospect. Hopefully it holds for the final as it will be an all-timer if so. Can't * wait for it.

    Been a mad final. Higgins going 5-1 up and looking relentless. Selby now on a break to go 8-5 up. * brutal.

    8-8 now, John picking it back up last few frames. What a finish we're in for here.

    The Higg takes the title. * unbelievable stuff man, nearly 50 year old and producing a performance like that is just phenomenal. Absolute legend of a man.

    Incredible performance there from 8-5 down having lost 7 frames on the spin, thought he was dead and buried tbh but he was absolutely sensational in them last 5 frames tonight. Without a shadow of a doubt one of the greatest players to pick up a queue and ageing like a fine wine.

    * buzzing for him, would honestly love for him to win at the crucible one more time and on this run of form, off the back of 2 tournament wins he’s right in the mix.

    World Championship qualifiers started today for anyone interested, some matches being shown on TNT red button i believe.

    Currently watching Zhao Xintong cruising at 7-1 up. This is the boy who just came back last year from a 20 month ban for betting offenses. But is widely regarded as one to watch for the World Championship this year.

    Phenomenal player, am looking forward to seeing how he gets on.
