Quite a reset job for the referee in the #snooker just now, having to reposition a whole bunch of reds.
So, why don't they use projectors to overlay the old layout on to the actual table to make any repositioning event easier?

Watching the #bbcsnooker #worldchampionship I think if you pot two reds in one shot, you should get the colour doubled.

#bbcsnooker #ukchampionship I think this Allen vs Hawkins match has all the hallmarks of a late finish.

Don't know if this is just my reading of it, but watching #bbcsnooker this week, does Stephen Hendry seem to commentate with a chip on his shoulder as though he should be out there playing?

Murphy is a really frustrating player to watch #bbcsnooker ... rolls royce cue action, smooth as silk, show boats a little, but then misses the easy shot.

John Higgins and Mark Williams, what a gripping #WorldSnookerChampionship final we’re having this year. Two of the games all-time greats. First to 18 wins, it’s 16-17, this is going all the way! #BBCSnooker

You know how snooker players have nicknames (Barry ‘The Hawk’ Hawkins etc.), they should have the same for the commentary team. John Virgo’s would definitely be: John ‘Where’s That Cue Ball Going’ Virgo 😂 #BBCSnooker #SnookerWorldChampionship #ILoveSnooker

Barry Hearn talking about the possibility that the tournament could move to Qatar or Saudi Arabia. Due to the fact the players could earn more money. It would be a shame if Snooker ever left The Crucible in Sheffield.⚪️🔴⚫️ #WorldSnookerChampionship #BBCSnooker

Blimey, the BBC are padding this out a bit aren't they?!? Mind you, I suppose they're going to have a lot of airtime to fill tonight. Half expecting them to get Rob Walker to read all of Paradise Lost before the first frame.
