Redcafe Snooker

Jak Jones has no right being here tbh, absolutely atrocious performance. Commentators doing a nice thing saying it's nerves. Both the black off it's spot and the yellow are appalling attempts, "pressure" aside.

Last year Brecel fluked his win (predicted he'd disappear without a whimper during his "defence") and now this guy.

Been such a weird tournament with a really low standard in comparison to other years, lots of the established players losing form or going out early.

biggest match of his life of course he's nervous

This gives me hope that some day I may reach the Crucible.

There were a good few classic smash the balls anywhere moments that'd grace any pub after a few pints.

Missing routine pots annoyed me.

Tbh the quality this year has been quite poor.

Happy for Wilson, met him at an exhibition a few years back at a working men’s club. Came across as a really nice bloke, stayed and chatted with loads of people afterwards, having selfies, signing autographs. I think he’ll be a better champion than Brecel was- in that he’ll be harder to beat.

There's two Q School tournaments over the next couple of weeks, with the first one starting today.

For the first time in ages I'm not really cheering on anyone in particular, as my recent past preferences are all currently on tour for the next year or two: Liam Davies, Stan Moody, Ben Mertens, Julian Leclercq, Alexander Ursenbacher (last year).

I'd quite like to see some of the young European players qualify - Artemijs Zizins, Iulian Boiko, Florian Nuissle. Or some that fell off the Tour this year like Emery and Cahill. But I'm not supporting any of them in the same way as I did the other players I listed when they were trying to qualify (and how I'll probably be next year with Moody and Ursenbacher again, unless they have a very good second year on the tour!)
