[WPA]

Cracking final, incredible to see the class of 92 still at the top

[fly by wire]

I see O'Sullivan has taken the Saudi shilling and saying that the world championship should be moved to Saudi Arabia, the Crucible isn't big enough.

Love it
Always ends at the Mayday Bank holiday - feels like the start of build up to the summer sport (CL final, Euros and Olympics)

Typical Ronnie isn't it though? Say one thing, then say the opposite at a later date? Fairly sure i remember him last year saying about how important The Crucible was to the sport due to the heritage, atmosphere, etc.

Ding vs Lisowksi looks good. ROS has got Jackson Page

[Snubs]

Robertson was the big surprise in qualifying; some other crucible regulars to go out were Joe Perry, Graeme Dott, Marco Fu and Matthew Stevens. Bingham was nearly knocked out twice, being 7-9 down to Carrington and 7-8 down (ok, not that close) to Heathcote.

It's on lads.

17 days of unadultarated bliss.

Wow missed that thought it was game over went to do other things, Brecel doesnt like the attention/pressure of defending the championship.

Have met them both, two really nice guys.

Shaun Murphy. What an absolute tool. Having an opinion is “almost sacrilege”. It either is or it isn’t.

[CountyAFC]

I didn't see what you're referring to, but he's a massive hypocrite. Not a player I have much time for.

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