No way would Virgo commit to the ES schedule.
I’d quite like to see what Michael McMullen’s like because he knows as much as Yates but doesn’t speak like a pin end.
Failing that I dunno who else could join as a journalist analyst. Angles could possibly fill the role as he knows more than most players. Dale too.
I have watched some American Pool tournaments with McMullen on commentary & he’s very good. I’ve long wondered why he doesn’t do snooker commentary, perhaps he just hasn’t had the break he needs...
A lot of others have had a go. He's just been waiting to get to the front of the cue.

I think what we need here is HappyCamper to deliver an inspirational speech in Norwegian.

Oh good, a Carter interview.
I wonder if Goldstein will ask him about the lockdown.

I disagree with Carter.
He should beat himself up all the time.

Yeah. He was interviewed by Angles the other day and it started beeping in the background because it needed charging or something
Ronnie and Ali are currently on ‘speaking terms’.

Well, that’s a step up from ‘it’s complicated’

I'm a fan of both Ronnie and Ding. Would love to see Ding win another title.

If Ronnie is going to lose, I suppose I would prefer it be to Ding rather than the Hulkster or Trump.

Exactly.
Ding “needs” it more.

The H2H between them is so one sided. Ding is a superb breakbuilder himself and plays a similar type of game, you'd expect it to be closer.
No doubt the Masters final 2007 has played a big part in that. That was one of the best ever displays from ROS and it affected Ding for quite some time when he met ROS.

Yeah definitely think that match affected Ding not just against Ronnie but in general. It seemed almost impossible to break his confidence up to that point.

If you think Ding doesn’t give a rubbish just look at that celebration when he won the UK.

But that seems to have gone now, since Ding's 2017 WC win he's playing confidently against Ronnie.
