I think Barry will probably see sense and drop this from the ranking events next year, I hope so anyway. I think he should get some top pool players involved next year, settle that old argument.

So, even the winner says this tournament is a coin-toss tournament and no way should it be a ranking event. Well done to McGill for being honest. Not surprisingly, that part of the interview was cut from World Snooker's report. Barry Hearn needs strong opposition right now or he will ruin this game.

Just saw the Gilbert/Xiao incident.....absolute joke! the whole bloody arena can hear the bips but not the ref? and no one amongst the markers to indicate the foul? Gilbert was peeved, and rightly so !
Now with McGill the winner, it's Joe Perry who drops out of the top 16 for now.
EDIT : just saw that Mcgill, as the winner, pocketted £32 000.....!!!! All that for 7-frame job???? Jayyyyysus............

Give the referee an earpiece, set up a huge red light above the table which only turns on for a time penalty, have somebody there just to monitor the time and have them run on if the time is exceeded.

Only seven days to wait for more snooker, and it's back to the proper stuff!!
It has to be said, itv4's dedication to snooker is remarkable. Although with all the padding and filler they include, there is a very strong sense it's because they've got nothing better to do with their schedules, but still great.

Come on Andy Hicks, he could end up with more ranking points as an amateur than a lot of pros
Phew glad I didn't jinx himLast edited by itsnoteasy; 26 February 2017, 09:21 PM.
