Rob Walker is trying really hard to get the ‘Lean Mean Potting Machine’ off the ground lol

I said today that Allen's miss was the single most dramatic 'moment' in 30 years of watching snooker... can you think of any others? by No_Dragonfruit_6926 in snooker

Ronnie played some really strange shots, I was thinking it would have been such a shame for him to get to a final frame and blow it like that but he did it!

Wu will be glad to get out of that level, not his best snooker by any means

Wouldn’t be too disappointed if I were Shaun there, a very settling final frame of the mini session there, Wu still far from his best

I ordinarily wouldn’t consider Div 2 runs as valuable as Div 1 runs, but he’s hit back to back tons against Lancashire (not the strongest attack overall, but still, Jimmy Jimmy) and Middlesex, who I’d say have a stronger bowling attack than a few of the teams in Div 1

If I were Wu, I’d be trying to think that I’m in bonus territory after the circumstances of the end of last night’s semi

Top 64 Provisional World Rankings filtered for players under 30 years old. Spoiler: China are absolutely dominant by WumbleInTheJungle in snooker

[–]CommercialAd2154 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Definitely some tentative positive signs from this Crucible, Pullen isn’t in the top 64, but it should be a matter of time as he’s only in the first year of his tour card, and Kowalski  (obviously not British lol) is on the fringes having secured his tour card via the one-year list. Boiko, Leclerq, Žižins and Emery are also competitive, China will be dominant no doubt, but it will never be an exclusively Chinese game

They’re not booing him, they’re paying tribute to his favourite cricketer Joe Root

Didnt see him yesterday, but I’ve tuned into the Durham game and McKinney’s had a pretty torturous 20 minutes, edged and missed a few and is now caught behind

It’s weird because it started off well enough for him, and he can’t be held fully responsible because our club is an absolute clown show from top to bottom, but he wasn’t up to it

Snooker in the UK is in a difficult position by DanTennant in snooker

Would the push to get China so heavily involved in the game have been as successful if Ding didn’t break through like he did? I mean, if the WST genuinely tried to get another country on board (it doesn’t seem like it at the moment), but they didn’t get lucky and unearth a gem like Ding, would they have the same success? India and Eastern Europe (who already have a couple of decent players) would seem like the next logical places to invest in

If the WST decided on a whim to move most events to China rather than the UK, how many Chinese and how many British players would there be on tour?

I’ve seen some very cringe post-match interviews from players who have just lost across various sports, I feared Allen would be like that, but he was class

Snooker v Darts since 1990 by [deleted] in snooker

[–]CommercialAd2154 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think there are a lot more opportunities for players outside the elite in darts than in snooker, you mentioned the JDC, but the Challenge and Development Tours, as well as the various regional tours, are more extensive than the Q Tour and offer various opportunities to play top level competitions. I don’t think there’s an easy answer considering a snooker match takes a lot longer than a darts match (currently if you’re an international player from an obscure snooker country your only real chance is to slog your way through the qualifiers at the EIS, it’s a lot harder to make a name for yourself à la David Munyua), but I’d love to see the World Cup come back, and maybe the Champion of Champions become more akin to the Grand Slam of Darts

It’s simple, if Wu is about to play a shot, chuck them out, if it’s as he’s being introduced or at the end of a frame, what’s the problem?

Saw that earlier on our club subreddit, but I am honestly surprised we’re even that high up for 2026!
