I didn't see what you're referring to, but he's a massive hypocrite. Not a player I have much time for.
Sometimes I don’t mind his commentary but his self importance is off the chart. Felt like he had to overcompensate in his defence of himself a little.

Murphy said he loved both.
Hendry then basically said he wouldn't respect the dichotomy until Murphy had won something.
All a bit unnecessary in the casual chat section.

Hendry was repeatability a bit of a dick to him yesterday though.

Didn't hear that but I side with Hendry. Murphy is a self congratulatory little man whose achivements are inversely proportional to his self importance. Felt like he had to overcompensate in his defence of himself a little.
However, I was referring to Murphy's retort to Vafaei, Murphy takes it upon himself to speak for the players and clearly thinks his opinion is better than others. It's such a transparent attempt to ingratiate himself with the ruling body and organisers. I think SM might be better off concentrating on his playing and reducing the amount he flaps his gums.

Love Ken!It was watching him win in '97 which really got me into snooker. The epitome of 'plucky tenacious underdog'. I was on the edge of my seat cheering him on.
Has he retired from playing? Great having him as a pundit but can't remember the last time I saw him play.

I've watched him recently a couple of times in the quick fire seniors snooker event on Channel 5. IIRC he won the last one that was on telly as well.

I agree. I said in this thread maybe a year ago that he was clearly lining himself up to be the bbc commentator for the next 50 years and I can’t stand him. He’s also ridiculously pompous eg with his overtly flourishing handkerchief in the top pocket as per yesterday.However, I was referring to Murphy's retort to Vafaei, Murphy takes it upon himself to speak for the players and clearly thinks his opinion is better than others.

Completely agree. He is insufferable, a total teacher’s pet of the snooker governing bodies as well. Nauseatingly so. And on top of all that, doesn’t appear to be the nice person he seems desperate to portray himself as. Gawd, we’ve had it, the beeb love him
