Despite all his 'woe is me' bks off the table, Ron truly is in a class of his own when he's on song.

He's just knocked in career century 1261. eek

Why does it always seem to be John Virgo who ends up shouting "Where's the cue ball going?".

Hilarious, though for obvious reasons I didn't watch it all the way through. How quickly he played back then! The refs probably needed a rub down after running around after him.

Reports are Higgins has hinted at retirement if he drops out of the Top 16, which he will do if he loses his first round match later on.

With Robertson dropping down 10 places to 24, former champ Bingham further down the list and Selby also questioning his future, this season could see a big change in the 'established' top order we've been used to for past decade or more.

good player, but the way the NOTW scandal was swept under the carpet leaves a bad taste, I feel like if it was some lesser known Chinese player they would have throw the book at him, lifetime ban and working in the paddy fields for 20 years

Enjoy the snooker, some of the player/pundits get on my nerves, but I'm easily triggered.

However, the little 'fill' scenes the BBC give us are absolute guff. Two pundits chatting and writing on a chalk board or players holding a giant cardboard head of their peers - proper st. Rather they show an old game or something.

I put a few quid on Gilbert when he fell behind early in the first round so that'll buy dinner. Also a small punt on him each way for the championship at the same time - hopefully offer me a cash-out if he does well today.

Milkins throwing his cue on the floor this morning and then seconds later getting out of his seat to pick it up again was funny. Proper paddy thrown there lol :-)

Looks like he has a bad neck watching the highlights from this morning. They did say he is one of the most genuine/decent guys on the tour. Shame for him, but sometimes these things happen.

Yeah, he’s a very likeable and funny guy, but his own worst enemy sometimes. Very fluent and naturally talented player. I used to play at his club in Gloucester and spent many an afternoon picking balls out of the pockets for him lol.
