Just as well Taylor never opened a club because if Allen had played in it we would here as much about it as 1985 final
Ugh, I can hear it now: "I always remember Mark Allen was practising in my club a few years ago, and after he had just finished making a century break a punter came up to him and said "Great break, Mark but I could have potted all those balls!" It was quite... amazing.[hrrrrmmmppppphhhh]"
Add the heavy breathing at the beginning and the end and it's perfect.
That's what the hhhrrrrmmpppp is ;)
Good time for Mark to get his first century, knocking the wind out of Xiao's sails after a strong finish to yesterday.
Hah, yeah. I corrected that in my previous post. :)

That was muggery of the highest order. What was he doing on the yellow anyway when it was so much easier to just play on the pink?
Some of these idiots must have rocks for brains.

They've had the same talking points for years and god forbid they ever change a single one.
They could talk a lot more about players and rankings and their seasons as compared to other seasons in the past (real commentator work) instead of just spewing the same clichés every year.

According to Wikipedia
Thorne's bald head makes him instantly recognisable and he is often referred to as the "Homer Simpson of Snooker"

They're all useless with the exception of Stephen Hendry. They shamble into their booth with a sense of entitlement and think that non-pros shouldn't give shot advice.

Oh dear, bringing Ronnie into everything for no reason. You're obsessed with him.

The beast has shown up to dispatch Dott in style. Long game is superb today.
