Devestating news about Willie Thorne. We laughed our way around the world for 45 years.
RIP Great One. That was my name for him. The Great WT.
Lots of love to his family
Just had a phone call from one of the players I loved to watch and commentate on.
Tony Drago from Malta wishing me a happy birthday.
Thanks everyone for the lovely birthday messages.
Why can a family walk around a golf course for exercise but two people from the same household can’t play a game of golf for exercise? When does common sense prevail.
Keep safe all and mentally strong
Just got up this morning and switched the TV on and seen Marco Fu make a maximum break in the deciding frame of the Hong Kong Masters to beat John Higgins.

What a Class act
@pistol147

His all round game is something special. Most of all he is brilliant when behind. An abundance of bottle and one of the best break builders in the game. A very worthy UK

Brilliant final Boys
I remember not that many years ago, most people were saying , snooker is a young mans sport.Had to be in your 20s to win ranking events, they were saying.
Two 45 year olds could give us a classic tomorrow .
Snooker couldn’t be in better shape.
A magnificent semi final from Ronnie O Sullivan and

That win against Chris Wakelin will mean so much to him.
As our great friend Willie Thorne would have said. EVERY CREDIT
So sad to hear of the passing of Pierre Mans.
One of the greatest potters the game of snooker has ever seen.
Played him in Sydney in The World Championship 1975.
Had the pleasure of visiting his lovely family at his home in South Africa.
RIP my dear friend
So sad to hear about the passing of Chas Hodges.
We had so much fun making Snooker Loopy with the boys.

Very sad to hear of the passing of Dessie Symington.
Played a big part in my homecoming to Coalisland after winning The World Championship 1985 .
He wrote and sang Taylor Made in front of a Hugh crowd in the town.
Memories I’ll never forget.

What a great win for
@markwil147
he is like a good red wine, gets better with age. Terrific performance from David Gilbert, looked odds on to win his first ranking title.
Will boost his confidence though.
Services on the motorways ripping public off as usual.
Petrol 80p a gallon dearer than normal price.
Fill up before you go on the Motorway, they will soon bring prices down.
Absolutely devastating from John Higgins. The smile on Kyren Wilson’s face after John Higgins cleared up to win the 5th frame and lead 5 0 said it all.
One of Luca Brecel,s best wins ever. He played brilliant. Mark Allen also played terrific. Unlucky Mark. He will be back to win another Masters.
Great match to watch
What a great victory for Jordon Brown in The Welsh Open against one the games greats Mark Selby.
Under extreme pressure,the man from Co Antrim played a terrific last frame. Well done Jordon. Best of luck and go all the way.
So sad to hear of the passing of my favourite teacher .
Master Heron or as in later years, affectionately know to me as Barney.
A true gentleman.
Condolences to all his family.
What a brilliant day with my son
@golfdtaylor
at The Theatre of Dreams Second time I met
@UsaneBoltPls
a true Gent. Great win in the end for Man United
Managed to get my £20 back off Stan Boardman. As Stan had no chase with him he told me to take it out of his lottery ticket that he pinned to a tree at our golf club Portal in Tarporley. Nice one Stan. 👍😂⛳️
So sorry to hear of the passing of Steve Longworth. An excellent snooker player from Blackburn.
When I came to England 55 years ago, I practiced a lot with Steve and his Dad Harold.
Condolences to all his family.
First time for me. In 40 years I’ve never seen a ball jump in the air and stay on the cushion.
Seen plenty go along the cushion and into a pocket, which is legal. Most of them finish on the floor.
Might never see it again. Good trick shot Kyren😁👍
Congratulations
@Gary_Wilson11
Gary. You and the family enjoy it. Plenty more to come now. Also well played
