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

iPlayer coverage is basically what's always been available via the BBC Sport website or the Red Button.
As far as I'm aware we've never had "constant" Live coverage on BBC2 all day for a long long time (if ever)

We’re doing better now! Previously the morning sessions were iPlayer only and the evening sessions were only on TV for an hour. So with a couple of hours on BBC2 in the morning and several hours on BBC4 in the evening, it’s improved this year.

Wakelin might as well hand in a note from his mummy asking to be excused for the rest of the evening.

Good 16th frame in Robertson vs Wakelin.

The top 16 seeds are dropping like flies, Hawkins and Robertson downed tonight.

I think these two days have been one of the best starts to the worlds that I've seen in some time.

The strength in depth in the rankings feels stronger than ever, it wouldn't surprise me in the slightest if someone outside the top 16 wins this, possibly for the first time since Murphy won 20 years ago.

Looks like Higgins is up to his old tricks again

Give Zhao Xintong a bonus for minimising Jak 'I can cure insomnia' Jones contributions to this year's championships.

Do you think that really goes on in Snooker?

I could be wrong, and I guess you'd never know but I can't see it myself.

Plenty of people have received bans for it.

The video didn't help much either...........

Feek · 22 Apr 2025 at 15:48

Ronnie’s looked so much more relaxed in these last two frames. 3-1 at the mid session interval.

The video that had more edits than titanic? He was suspended for bringing the game into disrepute, the investigation cleared him of match fixing. But online everyone seems to think he was suspended for match fixing for whatever reason.

So even Judd can miscue.
