Hell yes! I tried to step up in your absence, but I am not on your level for updates mate. I have also been keeping an eye on the snooker still, Well done Un-nooh making the final and Trump saved his best for the last, he wasn't particularly playing that well through the whole tourney. Ronnie out early, a decent run by Holt so still a lot of interest. COC this week you have Jimmy White vs Ronnie.
Personally still dont agree with Jimmy White being there but it is what it is
I agree mate, its a bit funny he is in it. Also Reanne, its kind of good she is in it but a bit pointless really as she can't really compete with the top boys. If she was good enough to cause an upset maybe, but she doesn't get through round 1 in the ones she has gone into. On another view of that, we have someone who plays pool in Kent for the ladies, but clearly would be good enough for the A team, or B at worst but its restricted as we have a ladies team also. Personally if they are good enough there should be no restrictions.
The World Seniors winner has never been invited before, and before the event it was still not mentioned, Jimmy White wins it and suddenly the next day, oh and for winning the World Seniors Jimmy has now been invited to the Champion of Champions.
Were was Peter Lines invitation when he won and others
Also agree with your point with Reanne, she was in all 3 Q schools and lost in Round 1 twice and Round 2 once,
In the 6 reds she lost all 3 group matches.
I have always said Snooker is a sport where its obviously not physical, so no reason why both men and women cant compete against each other, but Reanne is supposed to be the best womens player and yet as soon as she comes up against men she falls apart
Loving listening to the commentators for this match, trying so hard not to be critical of Evans haha, every time she misses or something goes wrong, they just say she is unlucky haha.
She has potted the cueball 5 times in the opening 2 frames and every time they say how unlucky she is, if it was Murphy who did they they would be saying things like the pockets are always there and things like that

I follow a feminist on twitter, who loves her snooker. She did just post about how great it is she is in the COC, I did write a response but I just didn't bother in the end as I know it will just go back and forth even though my main point is she is not up to the standard to play in these events. Although good exposure for the ladies its also negative as people will know someone else deserves a shot who would have a chance, if it was as shootout 1 frame that's different but a proper race to 4 no chance!

1 break over 30(which was 34) so far by Evans tells you all you need to know, again nothing physical in this sport, just not good enough
knocked in a 51 and playing a lot better now, I switched over 3-1 and accept she has raised her game and doing well. This would still be a major shock but good effort so far.
Hard to follow when the early games are during work, although I can occasionally watch on my phone. The evenings I've been busy, so I appreciate the updates again @paulie8290 hope you are well bud.
