Poor Ronnie-haters. Snooker's no fun for them these days.

I predict Ronnie’s gonna disappoint a lot of people. The people who don’t want him to win.

I’m not sure what that has to do with it? I absolutely loved the WC.
There is no identity to any event and it seems like a lot of the top guys are going to struggle to get themselves up for the early rounds.

know that feeling. when there is no crowd and the tournaments all look alike its hard to get really excited.
really hope we can get back to normality asap. Not just in Snooker obviously but everywhere.

I agree with Dan, it's strange times but better to have Snooker than no Snooker at all.
Not ideal, but it's the best WST can provide us right now and they have done a tremendous job so far.

Still think they need to use different carpets for different tournaments. You can see it’s all tiles in MK anyway. The lights being red is one thing but it’s barely noticeable.

Don’t get me wrong, it’s fantastic that these events are even on but there’s just no buzz about them at all

Ronnie's probably the only person who prefers snooker without fans in attendance. I think the events will be more exciting once we reach the later rounds, assuming that there are marquee matchups. The Selby-Gould final at the European Masters was never going to get anyone excited...

But it was a good final decided on the last frame.

But it featured Selby and was therefore boring and worthless.

Agree with Alex. Not really feeling any of these tournaments so far this season.

Same here. While the snooker I have watched so far this season has been a distraction from obviously much more important stuff going on, I'm very much in couldn't care less mode.
I guess any sort of distraction is a good thing. Perhaps I will get into it more as season goes on.

Lolz. It's true though. Alex, do you think you should try a different sport?

The Championship League is a bit cack. But good to see proper snooker back on. (If you can call best of seven proper.)
Not sure what my plans are for the weekend, but look forward to watching some. Hopefully all day of the final.

I enjoyed the Championship League in June and the World Championship was very good but I can't get into this season. The novelty has wore off.

Good thing then that I'm an overall fun of snooker then as well as a I am a twat and don't just live to see Ronnie get beaten.
On the other hand, being a Trump hater has been a most delightful experience the last few months

Snooker is worthless without flair players, just like any other sport for that matter.

I was talking about Alex not being interested in the current tournaments, not your flair players comments.
