Like they used to be. Tables today 30% easier to play on than they were in ‘80s and ‘90s.

Terry Griffiths will be dusting his cue off!

Genuinely think the shots he’d have played, (and missed) along the cushions in those halcyon days, would now drop in.

Not watched snooker for a few years but enjoying this tournament. Do all the referees look like her now?

Different balls, chalk etc.

It’s interesting to see how these guys are dealing with missing more than usual.

Another amazing QF. Allen just edged it.

Long live the impossible tables.

That clearance at the end was superb after what had come before it. Seemed to play so many wrong shots in the break before it and really looked like the pressure was getting to him That missed pot that ended that break was a real shocker so to come back the way he did after that took some bottle.

On another note, does Shaun Murphy not realise he's got a match on tomorrow? Staying up to appear on the highlights programme the night before seems a bit odd.

I agree with Ronnie

Ally Pally is massive, open, full of concrete , cold and looks old and battered.

Plus it's a right nightmare to get there and from.

Agree. Went to the Carter vs Williams game on Monday. Had tickets for the Wednesday and ended up selling them as it was a total nightmare getting home.

Enjoying the tournament a lot though.

Some matches in the lesser tournaments and I agree, but The Masters and World Championship no way are they snoozefest, each match is exciting.

I was never into snooker but misses is l took her to a shaun Murphy event a few years ago a and the skill they have is unbelievable ,he played the best player’s around the local area and was beating them with ease some would just have a break off and he would then clear up sometimes with one hand behind his back , also a decent bloke
