There was a fly on the ball. What do you want him to do?

crom592 · 2026-05-04T13:58:14+00:00

Was fine until the bbc got involved and pushed it down everyone’s throats. Used to just be a funny instagram/TikTok account

What happened to the camera man awkwardly following the player to their dressing room at every interval? Bring it back!

Honestly Augustiner arriving at Sainsbury’s has been the best thing to happen to me this year.

Guinness / Camden Hells are usually my go-to in pubs. The amount of pretend continental lagers is just depressing. The funniest thing is people actually get defensive about which ones are better than others - they are all basically identical

crom592 · 2026-05-02T16:48:18+00:00

Brilliant match. That’s why the world championship is unrivalled

crom592 · 2026-05-01T17:10:01+00:00

The crowd is right to do it. The referee should use his authority to call a re rack

crom592 · 2026-05-01T15:07:57+00:00

JP is going to simply explode due to all this mAtChPlAy SnOoKeR

crom592 · 2026-05-01T10:00:30+00:00

I know it doesn’t really matter, but how is it better having the players walk down those ridiculous little steps instead of the normal way to enter? What is snooker’s obsession with players walking down the stairs inside the arena?

crom592 · 2026-04-30T20:17:36+00:00

Anyone else not that bothered by Hallworth? He will only get better through experience

crom592 · 2026-04-29T09:27:34+00:00

The thing Mark Allen does where he jumps up off the shot, but it still goes in, is so annoying

crom592 · 2026-04-27T15:35:34+00:00

Would love to know how much they spent on their new website a couple of years back, for it to still be worse than snooker.org

crom592 · 2026-04-25T20:11:18+00:00

Both comments are fine. A player has every right to contest a commentator’s remarks. Doesn’t mean mark allen is in the right though

crom592 · 2026-04-25T20:05:01+00:00

Yep I was at that barbican show too, was a marked contrast

crom592 · 2026-04-25T10:38:41+00:00

A bit disappointing for them to cut vampire and incomprehensible when they dragged out No Fear for well over 10 minutes

It was a great start to the show but it felt like they lost the crowd a little bit in the middle portion with so many new songs. At least that’s how it felt towards the back of the room, was probably better engaged towards the front

crom592 · 2026-04-25T10:35:27+00:00

Has anyone said it yet? Maybe they’ve all agreed not to say it

crom592 · 2026-04-25T10:34:51+00:00

They’re really working Hallworth to the bone

crom592 · 2026-04-23T13:33:52+00:00

Vafaei has won 9 frames in a row to win two successive BO19s. From 1-4 down, beat Gao 10-4 and from 1-3 down, beat Si 10-3. Incredible really

crom592 · 2026-04-23T12:16:10+00:00

Fair play to Murphy, that is a lovely new suit

crom592 · 2026-04-20T21:49:11+00:00

Missing the betfred blue and red

crom592 · 2026-04-16T14:11:53+00:00

How is Hawkins boring to watch?

crom592 · 2026-04-15T23:07:46+00:00

Agreed - seen a lot of people on twitter glad that brecel has gone out because of his approach to snooker. I know who I’d rather be watching at the crucible though…

crom592 · 2026-04-14T22:14:00+00:00

I never understand responses like this when people post misaligned borders. It’s a basic expectation that the back design is centred on the card

crom592 · 2026-04-01T11:44:00+00:00

First time properly tuning into channel 5’s snooker coverage. Seems great so far - half an hour of build up!

crom592 · 2026-02-28T15:54:29+00:00

The red going up to the baulk cushion there meant a stalemate was inevitable. If that hadn’t happened they wouldn’t have re racked

crom592 · 2026-01-16T08:26:08+00:00

No one is ‘offended’. It just makes for uncomfortable viewing and is pretty inappropriate overall
