[Other Sport] The Masters

crodonilson · Jan 9, 2022

I don't know about you but I absolutely adore the masters, one of the premier sporting events of the year and all kicking off on BBC 2 right about now.

An absolute cracker to get us started too, when the Tiger faces off against The Welsh Potting Machine. The Ally Pally will be absolutely rocking.

:clap:

Had a sneaky lift of the old, golden trophy during the interval of Davis / Knowles in 1989, a 5 nil drubbing.

Nobody said owt, it was just sat there at the edge of the arena.

It was encouraging that a great majority of the audience wore masks.

What incredible sportsmanship from Kyren Wilson last night.

Leading 4-1, he feathered the white ball when looking to go one frame away from victory. The referee didn't spot it but Kyren immediately called a foul shot on himself and the match swung Stuart Bingham's way, levelling at 5-5. But the snooker Gods were smiling on Kyren for his honesty and he prevailed in an unbelievably nervy decider to go through.

Snooker is so proud of its honesty. Some other sports could learn a thing or two from it. What a cracking day yesterday. I missed Trump/Allen through work after having my booster jab on Monday.

Allen also called a foul on himself in the earlier match against Trump, although the referee may have spotted that one, nevertheless amazing sportsmanship where cheating seems to be in so many other sports whether drugs, play acting or otherwise.

Had it a month ago, so feeling as bulletproof as I can be. And you do need to show a covid pass, so they are at least thinking about it

One of the reasons I love snooker. Like an oasis of honesty in the sporting world. A sport nearly unchanged in the last 50 years
