In Shaun’s defence, his commentary is a comparative joy to listen to compared to the torture that is Yates over on Eurosport!

Indeed, Phil Yates and Alan McManus together are pure hell, love to hear the sound of their own voices talking utter crap. The mute button activated when either are on.

Anyone know if last year’s earpiece things will work at this years championship? Still got mine from last year and wil probably go down for a sesh as I’m fairly local.

I imagine they’d change the frequency to stop people doing it but you never know.

I think i read somewhere that they don't.

Not 100% sure though.

Cheers. They sell them on the way in so if it doesn't work then you've got no commentary. Which is why I asked.

Looks busy this year though. Most sessions sold out so probably won't get the chance anyway.

Time for a sunday morning sitting infront of the TV

Ronnie Vs Ryan Day .

Lisowski is so frustrating to watch.

Yep, so much natural talent, but his brain goes missing far too often.

Unlike Trump, who learnt to adapt the flair with percentage play, and has reaped the reward, I just don't think Lisowski has the mentality to do the same. I can't see him ever winning a major tbh, as he'll always just make too many silly mistakes.

[Stan the Bat]

Just needs to stop and think for one minute.

At least three stupid mistakes this afternoon.
Two missed rollups to get snookers and one red left short of middle pocket---just simple shots.

[CoolHands]

He does seem to rush it

[nuyorican]

Nerves maybe?

I do like old Ballbag Bingham though.

O/T but whats with all the pudding basin haircuts?

Haven't seen those since I was at infants school in the '50s

I'm still proud of my 80s mullet.

Perhaps his Auntie needs to boost his confidence.

Not a player I know much about tbh, just googled the above….. okayyyyy.

He just looks super awkward out there, maybe he is.

Sounds like a Covid ward.
