seems to be more of that type in snooker than ever before.I think it’s been a few pages since I’ve mentioned my utter distain for Shaun Murphy. The porcine cnut. What a pompous prick.
Wanker.
Carter is just a grumpy weasel. Murphy is a pompous, arrogant, aloof, pretentious, braggart windbag.seems to be more of that type in snooker than ever before.
Don't know who I dislike more, Murphy, or Carter.
Hazel is fantastic, have a real soft spot for her. Unlike Shaun Murphy who is an arrogant porcine cnut.I find the Welsh presenter on the BBC coverage, Catrin Heledd, quite hard work. She presents it more like she's doing Blue Peter or CBBC. Much prefer Hazel Irvine.
Carter is a complete tosser. He's a Farage supporting, miserable moaning twat. Every time his opponent gets a fluke he screws his face as if the whole world is against him.Carter is just a grumpy weasel. Murphy is a pompous, arrogant, aloof, pretentious, braggart windbag.
Murphy’s latest comments on Varfaei were the most blatant dog whistle loaded with xenophobia. If you look at the response it got on social media it’s all the gammons and flag shaggers praising him for it.Carter is a complete tosser. He's a Farage supporting, miserable moaning twat.

Murphy is harmless albeit his face is annoying
Phil Taylor would have to top that list.Shaun Murphy, Michael Van Gerwen, James Corden. Kill, Marry, Shag. Go...
The Rocket hasn't been launched yet.I've been a bit in and out but I have put it on every day to see who is playing. I haven't yet seen any of the World Top 3 (Ronnie, Trump or Allen) - guessing I have missed them? Are they all still in it?
Not dismissing your read but what did you make of Varfei's comments? Personally, I'm all for the expansion of the game/having big tournaments held in new locations. At the same time, I do like the fact that biggest comp in the game is at a relatively understated venue out of London. All sports benefit from having their historic venues - it's something that links their past, present and future.Murphy’s latest comments on Varfaei were the most blatant dog whistle loaded with xenophobia.

I thought it’s Varfaei’s opinion and he’s entitled to it. Ronnie has the same opinion and he’s the GOAT, grew up in the UK and has played at the venue for 30 years.Not dismissing your read but what did you make of Varfei's comments?

Really enjoying the tournament so far - been some excellent games. Particularly liking Si and Lisowski, although it's a bit of a same one of him and Ding will leave the tournament so early.
I get the history of it but he’s far from the first person to know it’s a shithole and Murphy should just cry quietly like the little bitch he is

Pleased about that in terms of very few Asian players in there (they'll dominate / own the sport soon enough anyway). Shame there's no one like Robertson and Brecel though.Only 1 non-UK player in final 16. Lowest for at least 10 years, when I got bored looking.
He hasn't made it past the second round in the last 6 editions, just a terrible record. Never say never I guess, but it feels like he needs some divine inspiration if he's ever going to win one. Looked inevitable about 15 years ago but alas.Every year I hope to see Ding win his first World Championship. Every year another chance passes him by. It's never going to happen is it.
Yep. Very worrying words.Barry Hearn all but confirming the World Championship will move away from Sheffield.
All business talk, they asked good questions then just let him ramble his way out of it with no comeback.This Barry Hearn fella doesn't half comes across as a greedy bastard. You can tell Eddie is his son.
I agree with all of that, apart from probably the last paragraph.As I've said before it will kill snooker in the UK if we lose the World Championship.
It is the focal point of the sport and it's inevitable that once they've got the WC they'll go after the Masters as well (although Ally Pally seems to be a popular venue).
That will just leave us with the UK Championship out of the triple crown events.
With the time difference involved with events in Asia, the TV audience will dwindle (and it will probably leave the BBC and go to a subscription service as it's not on the protect list).
And with less and less exposure, and with prize money already well short of other sports people just won't bother getting involved with it.
Whereas now we're yet to see an Asian World Champion, in 20 years there probably won't be a European player in the top 16. They won't just settle for one event, they'll try and shift the tour around.
I always knew I'd live to see the day snooker leaves the Crucible but it won't make it any less sad.
The only thing that can save it now is for Ronnie to come out and say he wants it to stay because he's bound to get his way.
Fair, I hadn't seen his comments on it.Murphy’s latest comments on Varfaei were the most blatant dog whistle loaded with xenophobia. If you look at the response it got on social media it’s all the gammons and flag shaggers praising him for it.
If it moved to China and there was a breakaway UK centric tour with the WC still held at the crucible you can bet your arse the porcine cnut Shaun Murphy won’t be playing at the crucible.What's to stop a breakaway? If the current WC moves to China and the vast majority of the UK players object, they can start their own tour. Just look at what happened to darts?
The obvious answer is money, but is there enough money in snooker to do what Saudi did with LIV golf?
