just wait until the ref cockerels up there will be enough talking then.
not bothered watching any of it which pisses me right off just can't breathe watching refs in those things makes me breathless and gagging.

Surely you exaggerate? I did enjoy your Twitter rant the other day, didn't know it was possible to cram so many expletitives into a single sentence about a face mask. Think I will be saying similar next week when HR moan that my homemade mask doesn't conform.

Seems a poor reason not to watch. Even if you're right that masks do nothing, what difference does it make to the snooker that the referees are wearing them?

Oh dear, seems there was a problem with the scoreboard. Ref decided to take Liang back to zero, but none of them could remember which balls he had potted.
Don't think it mattered in the end, but was a bit farcical

You haven’t explained why. If you’re not exaggerating that’s genuinely concerning.

no ive never liked to wear caps, rings, watches, glasses nothing on my face or hands but looking at ref wearing those black tight looking masks makes me want to spew its that simple.
i try to avoid masks best i can so sit on the sofa for a few hours watching snooker at the moment is sickening.

Tennis tournaments are having ballboys wearing masks for hours while running and retrieving balls, truly sickening.

Oh, so you have a phobia. That must be awful. That explains your attitude to masks.

It's called maskaphobia (it's a real thing). Wildey, did you have a traumatic experience with a clown when you were younger?
