Yes. No way can I see Selby coming back from this. This Belgian whose name sounds like someone from the Godfather is playing brilliantly.

Normally you wouldn't, but this is different. He looks resigned to defeat to a class player.

This is a bit strange ? You say you "love playing snooker" and then in the next breath say you dislike watching it on TV even to the point of mocking it and calling it loopy.... Odd.

Not at all. I just found it contradictory and very odd. But if you think I said that to start an argument, then fine.

Two incredible matches last night. John Higgin's final frame clearance was something else.

Why is it strange to enjoy playing a sport, but not watching it. Plenty of sports i've played that i'd never watch. Also i'm guessing you've never heard of chas and dave

Ronnie behaved like a tw*t a couple of times towards the ref in yesterday's match. Glad he went out, and good to see Bingham discover his form.

This is a clip from one of the incidents. Be good to see one of the reporters actually call him out on stuff like this instead of treating him like the messiah.

He was all over the place yday and deservedly lost. He is condescending but he’s also clearly joking and she seems to take it that way. The crowd laughing is a bit cringe though.
Imagine the worst thing a football ref heard from a player was chill out

Squash has never been in the Olympics, only the Commonwealth. That said it's due to make its debut LA 2028.
