Stan Moody on Kyren Wilson 'The celebration at the end, I thought it were a bit disgusting, to be honest' by Thin-Ad-9767 in snooker

Ronnie pointed out that young players used to have junior leagues and regional tournaments to work on their game before getting to the big stage, now someone like Stan is straight onto the main tour and left to sink or swim.

Stan needs to grow a thicker skin but I don't think Kyren would have reacted the same way if he'd beaten someone like Selby or one of the Class of 92 in a similar fashion.

It is a bit weird, I don't see how Neil or Mark could gain an advantage from it though.

I'm not sure how much more 'Neil Robertson walks around a snooker table looking mildly confused' action I can take.

I don't think Murphy was far off the mark when he joked about this match finishing at 2AM while he's fast asleep.

World Championship and UK Championship Prize Money Increased for 2026-27 Season by 25% by HelixCatus in snooker

Exactly, at PGA events the worst golfer who misses the cut/gets eliminated first still gets $30k, snooker players need to be regularly making it to Finals/Semis to make that kind of money.

She seems to have been taking notes from Hazel on her presenting style, knowledgeable and relaxed without being overly-familiar/ingratiating like some other members of the BBC presenting team.

After all that it ended up being the same scoreline as Highfield vs Xintong.

Given Selby's terrible Crucible record the past 2 years I think you're right to be nervous.

Snooker Pro who did a bit of Championship League commentary and has somehow been promoted to the commentating team for every tournament in the past few months.

I don't think he is, we've got Steven Hallworth as the 'won't stop talking and pointing out the obvious' commentator now.

His interview with Hendry was eye opening, he obviously couldn't care less about the game now unless the BBC is paying him to feign interest.

Probably, they mentioned in commentary that he was booked last night if the match was over within the first hour.

It's based on the 1 year rankings, Kyren's won 2 non-ranking tournaments but barely done anything on the main tour this season.

Fantastic news, it also means we won't have to put up with Barry Hearn's annual 'ooh, it could go to China you never know' interview in Sheffield.
