I didn't post much yesterday, as I was Sky Plussing the games and on result avoidance.
I agree though. It's sad.
There weren't even any crowds in for the Ding game yesterday.

Has somebody got money on Robertson not being at The Masters this year?

Might be.
Didn't one of the Chinese tournaments once have a dog food sponsor it, or something?

TTWITTER ATTACK(S)
Neal Foulds @fouldsy147
Kyren Wilson’s maximum break just now seemed to be greeted with zero applause. Either the audience are hard to please or there isn’t one.
snookerbacker @snookerbacker 1h hour ago
Kyren's 147 from earlier today
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3GM7wwISdq0Already 94 views, which is 1000% more than watched it live.
LOLZZZZzzzz

Selt very lucky to nestle the white behind the green pocket knuckle there.

Happy halloween everyone!
Neil really shouldn't be 3-0 down to Selt and Ronnie and Ding going out early is a shame.

They only turned up for Ronnie lol.
I agree this looks embarrassing though. Surely they could give the tickets away for free to local clubs and schools? What have they got to lose?

Same old China.
Twitter loves a good moan.
Got a point though.
Having no crowds at a major is embarrassing. Even for a pretend major like the International Championship.
Move it to Germany. They'd turn up.
Germany has different problems though. No local sponsors willing to back the event.

OPPO is the world's 4th best selling smartphone brand and the number 1 in China. Its parent company BBK Electronics also has the OnePlus and Vivo brands and is the 2nd largest smartphone manufacturer in the world.

I heard that the CEO got married last week. The reception was terrible.

I think, Matthew Selts incredible aura when he's walking around the table is affecting Neil Robertson.
But Neil's got to stay strong. He can do it.

Aura around the table.
Robertson is distracted by the light reflecting off of Selt's head, more like. *

That was odd, weren't it?
The only Halloween movie not to feature Michael Myers.

MJW wins. Comfortably. He has been playing solid stuff imo this season so far. Seems to score better.

Third century for Neil and he's still 5:4 behind. But thats what happen when you play someone like Matthew Selt.

Selty must be shakin at this point. Maybe he'll take his trousers down like when he won that non-sanctioned event in China last year

Only one 50+ break in the Milkins Lines match. Must be a shitfest of a match. Glad I'm not watching it.
