Yeah good opening day that. Selby v Murphy tie of the round this evening. IT4 coverage most of the day and night. Hendry is on later tonight as well.

I've never been a fan of Allen either but I feel a bit sorry for him. He's clearly taken the break up badly, taking a break from Snooker and not wanting to be anywhere near her, then having to play her. I think he has also suffered from depression. 

 

It sounds like they absolutely hate each other now.

From what I've heard she's got every reason to hate him. But thats just rumours. He has gone through a shitty time himself like.

They broke up in 2008. The animosity comes from him demanding that she be removed from the practice room/TV studio at the Crucible earlier in the year when she was working for the BBC. The organisers obliged him and made her leave. She’s also asked for his child maintenance to be increased from the £100 a month he’s always paid, but now he’s bankrupt and getting divorced from a different woman. 
 

I bet their 14 year old daughter didn’t appreciate the ghosting of the fist bump as much as the wider public.

Oh wow, that long ago! You would imagine a consistently top 16 player could scratch together a bit more than that for his daughter. 

 

I've come across as being on his side here but I just don't really know much about her. It's certainly added a new twist on sporting rivalry and made me appreciate how well other sporting rivals have managed to keep their mutual disdain under wraps*

Was brilliant seeing them refuse to watch each other’s shots. Especially when she was bending over the table right in front of him with her raised foot nearly knocking the light off

Hahaha yeh clocked that. She was watching the other table for loads of his shots and when she was bent over right in-front of him he was looking at the audience dead shifty.

Veering way off topic here but speaking of Snooker players and money, The YouTube algorithm threw up this for me the other week. 
 

 

 

Nice gaff. Done well for himself. 

[Bjornebye]

Good on him, I don't mind Selby. Some of you lot hate him 

[Captain Turdseye]

Turns out I already posted that video on the last page. What a gimp. 

[Bjornebye]

The amazing Desislava reffing the Hawking/Brecel match here. She takes no shit. I wouldn't have it any other way. 

 

 

 

[Bjornebye]

Higgins through. 

 

Hendry about to start against Gary Wilson

Fuck me, I could beat Hendry the way he's playing. 

[Bjornebye]

Selby about to go out 3 nil here to the biggest wanker on the circuit. 

[bigthrusts]

I think Trump has lost the number one ranking to Selby now. 

[Bjornebye]

The arse end of this draw now is as weak as I’ve seen in a long time for a ranking event. Williams should win it but I’d like Maguire too. Anyone but Carter 

[manwiththestick]

Carter just hit a 147.

Not sure , still think The Donald is the bigger cunt

[Bjornebye]

Maguire out, the tory cunt out, Maybe Dave Gilbert might win it? He picked up some form towards the end of last season. 

[Bjornebye]

Higgins has lost some weight. Looking sharp as well, through to the next round in the NI Open. 

[Bjornebye]

Higgins v Williams on Eurosport 

[Bjornebye]

Unreal John Higgins. 3 nil down, comes back and wins 4:3. 

[Bjornebye]

Some final this. Higgins just made it 4:4 from about 60 points down , tonight should be special 

[Bjornebye]

Decider. Come on John
