just never liked him, always seems arrogant and moany (if that’s a word), like in his interview last night blaming the table.

Did anybody see Ali McCoist now commentating and interviewing Ronny, Jimmy and Judd Trump on Snooker on TNT tonight? Great watch, some good stories. They are all raving about Zhao Xintong who is 5/1 with the bookies. He is still an Amateur but has just got back from a 20 month ban for betting irregularities. It looks like he was coerced by older Chinese players to do this.

55k as long as nobody else gets one. 40k for a 147, 15k for highest break. That's bigger than the prize money for reaching the QFs
