Snooker 2022-23

Entertaining if not particularly high quality match between Hendry and Morgan on iplayer and red button now

I go to iplayer - categories- sports then it's there on the front page
 
I liked Steve Davis in the world finals recounting Alex Higgins quote that he'd "rather play snooker against Idi Amin" than against Davis.
 
He was once famously described as "like a young Friar Tuck" by the commentator as he bent over the table and his ever expending bald spot hove into view
Yeah, he plugged up didn't he. I think one of the first people who did. And maybe had it done badly and then done again?

I seem to remember during that glory days of snooker doc the Beeb did there was reference to Higgins recommending "shoving the fucking cue up the ginger cunt's arse".
 
I'd be interested to know details of why they did it, thats a lot of just Chinese players :hmm: my first thought was cohesion, organised crimanals.

Fucking bonkers.
 
Aye - Yan Bingtao is only 22/23 with a 5yr ban.
The question is, can he/they return to their previous form after such a long time away and would one want to?
The whispers. The doubts of everyone as to whether you're legit now. Do people really learn their lesson? Are they susceptible to pressure?

AYE - Same here - there was talk of organised crime being involved when the suspensions happened in January. Does make you wonder.

The summary of the WSPBA findings doesn't mention it but there is a 60-page pdf of the full case notes etc on their website if you fancy a read.

It looks like the Steve Davis Tribute Tournament, where everyone has to die their hair ginger.
