Just missed out on the record apparantly.
Ronnie O'Sullivan currently holds the record for the most number of points without reply (556) v Ricky Walden at the Masters in 2014.

Could be the greatest comeback since, well, Tuesday. (sorry!)

I’ve almost made my peace with Sunday. I’m genuinely fearing the worst, so most results will be better than that!

There's a couple of tournaments where the dress code is relaxed a bit but otherwise de rigueur for what you usually see. Medical exceptions are allowed.

Commented in the famous person who died thread.
I have only ever watched snooker on TV as a teenager watching Pot Black.
Ray Reardon, Terry Griffiths, Eddie Charlton, Doug Mountjoy, John Spencer, Fred Davies - household names that stuck with me despite not watching a game on TV since.
Griffiths always stood out for his hairstyle!
The one thing that stood out about most of the players is they all looked very old back then. Most looked in their 60's (Rearden specifically) yet were in their 40's.
Thanks for the memories - RIP Terry

Not sure what I make of the Shootout tournament.
Some of its funny but some is pretty cringeworthy.

Think he had something removed from his arse about 10 years ago and it made him mellow and be a pretty decent pundit, commentator and interviewer.
I always found him hard to watch, despite him being one of the very best. He never "entertained" me. But he was bloody ruthless at times, and I respect him for his dedication.
Genuinely impressed with his demeanor now, comes across as a great bloke, and all his guests seem to like him.

Guess he was just a winner who took no prisoners. When he realised he couldn’t win anymore, he changed and mellowed.
I’ve never warmed to Trump. Not sure why as he’s a decent enough bloke, but a bit dull.
Spoiled as I am with growing up with the likes of Alex in his pomp, and then Jimmy, and of course Ronnie, I think I'm hard to please.
No characters in the game anymore, which is kind of why I've fallen out of love with the game in recent years

Professionalism does this. The standard has never been higher, but the mavericks are generally marginalised, unless they’re top notch.
Same in most sports to be fair and even darts too.

I've never seen Donald Trump described as dull before.

All gone out the window the moment they could earn a fortune for winning a couple of matches a season. No more need to learn to hustle in dingy snooker halls and still have the nous to walk away with the dosh. Also no room anymore for the exhibition circuit to help develop rapport with the audience.
