Really sorry to read this, we lost our cat at the beginning of June, hit me like a ton of bricks he really was my best friend. It still hurts be we talk about him every day and that helps, just take some time for yourself and those around you. ❤️

After 33 years of people (subconsciously, actively, desperately) wondering where the iconic commentary sample in the Gazzetta Football Italia title music came from....

Jack more than anyone needs an ugly win

#snooker #welshopen

Fascinating set of quarter finals coming up in the Welsh

I’m back there on Saturday

#welshopen

The Welsh Open is set to deliver another story whoever wins it from here, a brilliant couple of days coming up

#snooker #welshopen

Impressive evening in Llandudno with Brecel and Lisowksi impressing

O’Connor with a fantastic win and pure granite from Selby

Day and Carter progressed in the other contests

#welshopen #snooker

As is the way with the Welsh Open over the last few years the big names are falling

Robertson and Williams this afternoon after Murphy, Gary Wilson, Bingham, Hawkins and Jak Jones have all departed in the first few days

No Trump or Ronnie either like Higgins said the depth is strong

#welshopen

Come on Stan

#snooker #welshopen

Up in the back row again this evening splitting my time between Allen v Moody (which is catching my eye) and the battle between two former world champions between Dott and Higgins

#snooker #welshopen

Defending champion is out of the Welsh Open here in Llandudno a deserved win from 3-2 down for Ishpreet Singh Chadha

#snooker #welshopen

Meanwhile the defending champion is in huge trouble, Chadha is in the balls and is on the verge of sealing a memorable win

#welshopen #snooker

Another let off for Page but he punishes Robertson to lead 3-0 and with one foot in the next round

#welshopen

Switch over on the earpiece and viewing now to a decider between Wilson and Chadha

#welshopen

Jackson Page looking very good here 2-0 up despite a horrible miscue in the second

#welshopen

First day at the Welsh Open, and they’ve got comms on two tables unlike like the last few seasons this is a big improvement

#welshopen #snooker

It’s lovely to see McGill playing and winning games again

Saying that he probably now loses this afternoon 😂

Finally deactivated my account over there

Can’t be bothered with it all, lot going on currently and use sport as an escape

More positively I’ve booked a few days in Llandudno for the Welsh

#snooker

Really have enjoyed the darts this year and Peter Wright’s win last night was special

There’s something about a champion coming back after so much doubt

#darts #worlddarts

Have you guys seen any of it? Really enjoyed it so far and feel this sort of show would really suit snooker as we aren’t showcasing characters in the modern game like they did in the past

Would love to see snooker equivalent of the game of throws doc that sky have done

Brings the players to life across the tour and it’s a really good watch

I’m not a huge fan of darts but this has drawn me in ahead of the big one

@philhaigh.bsky.social @nickmetcalfe1974.bsky.social

Feel the moment has gone for Barry

He simply had to level the game at 7-7

#ukchampionship #snooker #bbcsnooker

A brilliant win for Hawkins

Allen as honest as ever post match something not right with his game this season but he’s made back to back semi finals in Bolton and York he’s not that far off

#ukchampionship #snooker

Well that’s just magic

What a display from Michael Holt, courageous final frame took his chance and finished it

Incredible

#snooker #ukchampionship #bbcsnooker

Again very impressive from Jack tonight, he’s beaten two serious match players this week and perhaps the best of the lot coming up on Friday next

#ukchampionship #snooker

Jack Lisowski with his snooker cue.

Jack Lisowski delivers one of his best performances on TV, as he recovers from 3-0 down to defeat Mark Selby, 6-4.

Selby made breaks of 119 and 136 early on, but qualifier Lisowski won 6 of the next 7 frames, highlighted by a run of 100 in frame 6, for a memorable win.

#snooker | #UKChampionship

What a performance from Jack Lisowski this evening, a serious display magnificent match play

#snooker #ukchampionship #ilovesnooker

Weekend away with family managed to catch snippets of the snooker but have been enthralled by this clash

This has been an incredible effort from Lisowski, he’s got two shots at pulling this off

#ukchampionship #snooker #ilovesnooker

I’ll give this a go my first round predictions:

Saturday:

O’Sullivan
Xintong
Ding
Guodong

Sunday:

Allen
Day
Si
Lisowski

Monday:

Wakelin
K. Wilson
Jones
Holt

Tuesday:

Higgins
Robertson
Williams
Zhang

#ukchampionship #snooker #ilovesnooker

Christ that’s some draw

#snooker #ukchampionship #ilovesnooker

Chance tomorrow as well, she will be the big underdog but you never never know. All the pressure on Jack and he’s unfortunately capable of throwing in a terrible performance
