Totally agree with Neal (as usual) that would have been electrifying with a crowd (and a non-farcical handshake)

Video game adverts are the new car adverts. And car adverts as we all know were the new perfume adverts.

Why does every single car advert these days feel the need to butcher a great song with a really dull cover?

All in all that was a very enjoyable tournament.
I’ll admit I was skeptical at first; happy to have snooker on but not convinced that it would prove particularly captivating as a spectacle.
But it was actually very watchable. Yeah, there could have been a few tweaks to make the format slightly more competitive but as it happened, certainly in the back half of the tournament the late matches were generally significant and many of them produced either great quality, great drama or both. And in the end the winner was a worthy one, and also a player that you could argue really needed it from a career point of view - obviously we’ll see how that pans out in future.
Well done and thanks to everyone involved for producing a relatively meaningful, long-form snooker tournament in these trying times that actually managed to be more than a televised practise session.

Doherty v Carty had more drama. Final was a great match, but a tactical battle on the colours to finish would have been the icing on the cake.
Can’t have everything, though; at least we had a live final match to cap a thoroughly entertaining 11 days.
I’m with Alex; really going to miss this tomorrow. At least we don’t have long to wait for the next fix.

The touts will have a field day, starting to sell DVD's that would have went for 5 quid in Tesco last year for multiples more!

Or people could just torrent them for free!
Neither I nor the Snooker Island establishment endorse this course of actionAlthough Little Britain’s not worth it anyway. It’s rubbish.

The awkward thing though, is that David Walliams is incredibly popular and they can't really cancel him

Woollaston scored the most points in the event, at 17.
Brecel, Bingham, and Ronnie all tied for second-most at 15.

Crazy that Ronnie had 15 points, just 2 less than the leader at 17, and ROS didnt even play the Final group.

Yea it came aalive last 3 days the first 8 days did not do it really but Snooker is a sport that you got to stick with and theen the Excitement will come.
But it really was flat at the end with nobody there and no handshake.
Whats wrong with a handshake we all go shopping grb a trolley or basket and get change from the assistent and then wash our hands often there after.
