Red, Yellow, Green, Brown, Blue, Pink and Black. It's the General Snooker Thread!

I'm sure he's done that before and with Olivier as well, at the Crucible. Don't remember him getting told off on that occasion. Maybe it's a new rule.

Apparently, Hossain stormed off because Mark slapped his leg - his own leg, not Hossain's. :D Maybe that's some kind of insult in Iran.

Just been explained, Vafaei took offence at Williams slapping his own leg, thinking it was celebrating the win... When Mark said it was him being annoyed he missed a pink and thought Vafaei would come back to the table, but Vafaei conceded and walked out.

Probably get a fine for bad sportsmanship or something now. :confused:
 
The Saudis are rolling in money. When a player gets a 147, they should give them £147,000 and then if they go on to pot a golden ball (which is on the table from the beginning, perhaps in between blue and pink) they get £1,000,000 or something. :D

Putting another ball on the table just completely changes the game, be as well calling it Saudi snooker, placing a golden ball between the brown and blue, make it worth 8 points and if you do get the new max of 170 (179 with a free ball) then you win the million. The difficulty pinging that cue ball from pack to bulk no one would go for it.

Ronnie might to be fair.

Yeah I thought about it not being snooker any more but they have the Shoot Out as a ranking event so they could mix it up for another tournament with the prize money pool being high.

Another idea could be the ref picks a colour ball at random for each frame (but never black) and the golden ball replaced that colour but you’re not allowed to pot it until the very end (so you could still make a 147). Oh, that doesn't quite work.

Juddernaut rolling on. I love it when Ronnie's not in a tournament. :D He'll probably be skipping the Welsh Open in a week as well.

Ronnie looked sharper tonight than Judd did yesterday, after their recent little breaks away from tournaments, last two frames Zhou broke off were his only shot!

Still being an absolute **** in post-match interviews. "Don't comment on other players any more. Don't analyse my performance any more." And Eurosport keep employing him as a pundit.

Has anyone made a century break in this match yet? I’ve had it on in the background but only started watching proper just now.
 
The Saudi Arabia thing starts on Monday on Eurosport/Discovery +. Be interesting to see what all the golden ball malarkey is about if anything else.

And there’s also the oldies playing in Channel 5 on Saturday.

These late starts are a bit mad. It's 8.15pm in Saudi Arabia now and we've still got Luca to come on and play with the next match after that starting in <2 hours. I think John's match last night didn't finish until after 2am local time.
