Dafabet Northern Ireland Open

[Mr Snooker]

I was looking at the draw for the Dafabet Northern Ireland Open and I see seed N0 8 Marco Fu who withdrew from the event as been repalced by Jamie Rhys Clarke an amateur From Wales, while both Luca Brecel and Boonyarit Kaettikun also withdrew from the event and their opponents Fang Xiongman (Luca Brecel) and Anthony McGill (Boonyarit Kaettikun) both got walk overs (byes) into the last 64 of the Tournament, Why was these two players not replaced by top up cards from Q School Order of Merit instead of thier opponents getting walkovers.

As far I remember it he didn't even enter the event. Along with Mark Selby and Ding Junhui.

Would love Ronnie to win for the potential of the million pound prize,and the interest it would bring to snooker fans,but also general sports fans.

Is Dale starting to lose the old head thatch? Looked very shiny in his match against white, whereas white's dyed badger he has attached to his head was looking very full and thick.

Sanderson Lam doesnt look up to it...

Whites is too thick isn't it. He needs to thin it out..

Not sure if it's the position of the mics or the acoustics in the arena, but the balls sound ridiculously heavy for this event.

Disgraceful and disrespectful from Trump. Should be fined.
