I'm 100% behind d.a.ve Gilbert now for the simple fact that he's back in the top 16 and in a crucible semi final and running a farm at the same time , plus d.a.ve shoots a mean stick

We lost Ray (Dracula) Riordan on Friday aged 91 , he was before my time but another legend in the early days and a 6 time world champion , so it's no surprise he went on to coach / mentor many top players including Ronnie O'Sullivan to his 2004 crucible victory

Former world snooker champion Graeme Dott accused of sexually abusing children

Former world snooker champion Graeme Dott has been accused of sexually abusing children.

The 47-year-old is facing charges of historic sex abuse against a boy and a girl.

Court papers allege he abused the girl in Glasgow between 1993 and 1996, beginning when she was around 10.

He is said to have told her to remove her clothing, exposed his genitals to her and sexually assaulted her.

He faces a second charge of sexually abusing a boy between 2006 and 2010, in locations in Lanarkshire, from when the child was aged around seven.

Thats a shocker. Dott has been a leading snooker professional in the past.

Congratulations to Luca Brecel on a well deserved world snooker title ......what a 17 days it was ....I think it was the best crucible I have ever seen and I'm watching it from way back
Saul would've loved Brecel's play tonight. It was the best session of Snooker from a player I've ever seen.

The wee Chink had to go through the qualifiers as he was banned for 20 months for betting on match fixing.

He was sensational though right throughout the Tournament.

28 but looks around 16.

Ronnie who once (in)famously turned down a 147 (electing to pot a final pink instead of black) after asking the referee to confirm what the prize was (10K) will win his share of the 50K Top Break prize in this tournament, which as it stands is 2/3rds as another player made a 147 but in this tournament, perhaps harking back to old, an additional 147K will be paid for two maximums :)
