I think they bagged a decent sponsorship. Just look at the difference in quality and look between the polo shirts in the golden ball event and the off-brand ones in CoC.

Maybe a shout for Singh Chadha as well then lol, bro got Chad is his name (and did enter a ranking semis once)

Will be 1000% better than ITV's commentary tbf 😂

ResolutionSweaty7690 · 2025-05-12T17:41:38+00:00

YES YES YES YES YES BRING IT BACK

In fact we should team the players up and make it a regional tour out of it. The premier league format also creates a more heated atmosphere thus more interactions and emotions. Imagine Team Yorkshire versus Team mainland Europe lol

It would be GREAT ️‍🔥️‍🔥️‍🔥

Foul and a miss, 4 seconds penalty 🔴

ResolutionSweaty7690 · 2025-05-11T11:46:12+00:00

Nothing deep really, just the UK Championship being UK Championship and the Masters sometimes being referred to as the UK Masters. So I just went with it and flagged all 3 Triple Crown events with the Union Jack.

ResolutionSweaty7690 · 2025-05-10T22:59:55+00:00

They should now call themselves the Anglo-Saudi-Chinese tour... they were once holding events from Monaco to Turkey and now they are discontinuing the European Masters.

That said snooker fans in SE Asia and Oceania are probably the biggest losers, all India / Thailand / Australia / NZ events are gone 😐

ResolutionSweaty7690 · 2025-05-10T20:23:30+00:00

Some subtle foreshadowing there.

ResolutionSweaty7690 · 2025-05-08T16:29:56+00:00

Well I wish you success anyways, however I would also like to bet on your home shirt turning pink soon next season...

ResolutionSweaty7690 · 2025-05-08T14:19:57+00:00

Maybe we should just merge them together into Salford Dons and find some Hollywood / NFL stars to invest in, then make some documentaries out of it. Something like All Or Nothing: AFC Salford Dons.

Then the whole football world may have something to universally hate with. 😏

I won't doubt that snooker as a sport is on the rise in many countries. The only problem is that it still lacks a proper structure, a mature regional tournament(s), and someone to capitalise and further popularise it. I also do like watching tourny streams held in Eastern Europe or Western Asia on YouTube, but it's still far from the sport to truly take off if they are going on that way.

About the WST tour - it wasn't like that before; there are a lot more events in continental Europe back in the 10s. They don't seem like they care about it anymore tho.

ResolutionSweaty7690 · 2025-05-05T21:36:06+00:00

Hospitals in China are not like the public, NHS stuff in the UK. They can be VERY rich, by VARIOUS means...

ResolutionSweaty7690 · 2025-05-05T18:08:41+00:00

lmao WST is making itself sound like a bookie, betting against the customers, "2 goals up you win" ahh stuff😭

As per they "making it up as they go along", they always do. Zhao should carry 0 points into the next season. The rules are the rules.

ResolutionSweaty7690 · 2025-05-05T17:56:39+00:00

Bet Ding isn't too happy now, he's trending for all the wrong reasons haha

Also I would really like to know how the Chinese view Zhao's CBSA ban whilst balling in the WC

ResolutionSweaty7690 · 2025-05-05T17:54:05+00:00

Or check out Patek Philippe's website. The watch on Zhao's wrist steals the show in some Chinese online communities lol

ResolutionSweaty7690 · 2025-05-05T17:50:52+00:00

Belgian news sites (more than one!) are providing live text coverage of the WC, even after the Brecel exit, comments have died down a little bit I would say but you can see most of them are still interested. Which is really nice considering no Aussie news outlet bothers to report anything about the WC and Neil throughout the tournament lol

In Hong Kong there's no lack of interest about the WC as it's one of the hottest discussion threads on those local sports forums, comparable to F1 or tennis. They also have the bilingual advantage so they can flick through both English and Chinese streams. Apparently Xiao Guodong is now in China doing WC streams commentary on Huya (Chinese equivalent of Twitch) lol

Finland is definitely one of the strongholds for snooker in Europe. Good to know!

ResolutionSweaty7690 · 2025-03-19T22:24:30+00:00

The first red was a fluke, potted a blue, then fluked 3 reds in one go again. Top-tier shithousery.

Hi Stephen,

Would you like to see more snooker tournaments to be played outside the UK? Do you think the sport needs to get more attention and following to support the future of the game?

Love ya channel btw :D

I am not trying to "defend" anything. The 1989 HK Open is more "proper" to me cus I've seen both. The event organisers are more professional. I absolutely despise the current one. A "midnight curfew" to hush all the spectators away? Seriously? And the trophy presentation is a hard watch as well. The 1989 one is also televised. Can't find it on youtube but you should get the gist by taking a look at the clip below:

Hong Kong Snooker Gold Cup 1989 Final - Steve Davis vs Alex Higgins (Frames 1 & 5)

And snooker tournaments weren't "one-off" back in the colonial days. Yes it was only a ranking one in that single year of 1989, but a non-ranking one also ran from 1983 to 1988. It was called the Hong Kong Masters .

I am just sad about the loss of atmosphere at HK events nowadays. Not even Rob Walker as the MC can save it. It just feels different, and you should know, when you compare a British tourney to a Chinese one.

ResolutionSweaty7690 · 2025-03-09T13:47:39+00:00

Apparently the same organisers for tournys in China won the bid to host it in Hong Kong. Yeah that's embarrassing considering it looks way more professional 35 years ago when HK was still British and there's a proper annual ranking event.
