Where you watching it CK?

I can never find it on my Freeview telly.

The tour missed Michaela Tabb.

They were really acting like this win would be comparable to Jimmy actually winning The Crucible last night, it was sad.

Michaela referred to it as refereeing her third Crucible final.

It all felt a bit needy somehow. They're exhibition events, at the end of the day.

Not having a go at Jimmy, but winning a best of nine over Darren Morgan doesn't mean he can go round saying he's won The Crucible, just because that's where it was held.

Any minute now, Jimmy fans will start telling us to eat crow, and then have a meltdown where they keep posting nudes.

EAT CROW, SNOOKERFAN!!!

I did.

It tastes like chicken.

The BBC website notices snooker that's not on their channel, for once, and this is it.

At least they've said it for what it is. He's won the seniors World Championship at The Crucible. They're not trying to imply he's won The Crucible.

It was great to see Jimmy bring his practice form to the match table for once. Hopefully, a sign of things to come.

From what little I saw of Jimmy White this 'tournament', he was playing awfully.

If that's his practice form, his idea of flying in practice is different to mine.

25k for winning that old mickey mouse tournament.

It's absurd, isn't it?
